Helio launches {Engadget Mobile}

May 2nd 2006 12:10PM Yeah, I agree with Ben. Take a look at pricing for unlimited 3G access through Verizon or Sprint, unlimited text, pics, and video messaging and then throw some minutes at it and Helio is VERY competitive.

VZW...900 NW Anytime minutes with free N&W
1000 text, pics, and video msgs
Unlimited 3G Data Access
Detailed Billing

Price....drumroll...$91.88

Sprint...1000 NW Anytime minutes with free N&W
Unlimited text, pics, and video msgs
Unlimited 3G Data Access
Detailed billing

Price...drumroll...$94.99


As for the phones, if you are the blackberry or treo type, then you will probably hate 'em. I think they are cool and innovative...i mean how played out is the RAZR. Do you want to be unique like everyone else?

I also believe that Helio doesn't want the type of customer that is only shopping by price...go check out T-Mobile for that.

Just my two cents.
