How narcissistic, screaming about "credit due" and "credit want"...get real! Engadget mobile, I sense that you delight/root in the apparent collapse of Helio. What you got against Helio? I would like to think you check you sources and double check them before spreading viral rumors of Helio's collapse. I highly doubt that SK will just flush their money down the toilet. Helio made a mistake opening corporate stores since they don't have enough phones to offer. The exclusive retail spaces were a bad mistake & they're realizing it. The Palo Alto store was the worst production in Cali. Virgin's business model is to support the indirects & that's what Helio is following. Helio also realizes that kiosks are the way to go. They are currently offering financial options to multiple carrier store independents to open exclusive Helio kiosks in Nor Cal. I know I'm one of them. At last peak at the stocks, Virgin ain't doing so well. Virgin will buy Helio & SK take over both company. They will be a force in the market with 5 million prepaid + 200K growing postpaids. Did you also know Helio just launced a new program where if you prepay your Helio bill up to $150 at activation, you can have your $350 deposit disappear! WOW!!!
