Default Anybody have Helio?

Hey, does anyone have a Helio phone?
If so, does it work with the Bluetooth in the car?



and on an offtopic side, how's your satisfaction with them? good? bad?


Critique away!

I suggest you not using Helio.
I was a Verizon customer for 5 years and switched to Helio several months ago. The phone was good and I could use myspace and other data service for free of charge. However, when I talked on the phone, many people said they heard my voice with echo sound. Also, calls dropped frequently and when I called the customer service, their customer service quality was very low and they were very unprofessional. After dealing with them until I got tired of it, I switched back to Verizon because it was worth paying the early termination fee of $175 and not getting stressed by using their poor quality service and phone. Oh also, bluetooth did not work well on neither on my headset or my IS.

IMO, the only attraction to Helio should be the integrated myspace/geotagging services and instant uploads to those services.

If you need unlimited everything, which Helio has for $99, Sprint has the same plan for $119. Not sure how the other rate plans compare. Or you can get SERO from Sprint. Those plans have unlimited everythiing except minutes for (500 for $29.99).
