Helio Mysto next to Samsung U600 Ultra 10.9

Samsung SPH-A523 is about to be released with Helio, bearing the name Mysto. It will have all typical features of the carrier's phones: EV-DO data, GPS and stereo Bluetooth. Helio Mysto turns out to be a CDMA version of Samsung U600 Ultra 10.9, including its thin profile (0.42 in/10.9mm) with 3.2-megapixel camera, QVGA screen and touch-sensitive buttons.

Thanks Tuolumne!

Have you used sprint...

Helio is a MVNO that uses sprint towers for 3g network...so however sprint works in your area is how well helio will work. wehre i am i have constant 3G connection

Depending on your area...

The way MVNO's work on Sprint's Network...example Virgin Mobile, Helio, Metro PCS... Is the Sprint contracted customers take priority over there secondaries based on Contracts. Example: Cell phone tower during rush hour is getting full or busy, Sprint customer will retain the call while the others will loose it in priority order of there agreement with sprint. Most likely, I would be Helio, Metro PCS, then Virgin. So Virgin would get dropped or have connection issues, before Metro, and Metro before Helio.

Why would Helio use a EVDO phone? They've always touted their fast 3G speeds.

EVDO

Helio is garbage tho, their software for their devices make them really really buggy... ive owned their Drift and Ocean (both VERY problematic) - check howardforums, ppl with Helio's post the problems they have with their devices

What do you mean why?

What do you mean why would they use a EVDO phone? EVDO's average speeds are the same if not a smidge faster than HSPDA offered by GSM competitors. I am surprised though that more phones aren't EVDO rev. A which is even quicker. Now that's a surprise.

Helio Service

I have had the Helio Ocean for a month now and can honestly say that I love it. Everything from the 3G to the GPS and Instant Messaging has been a joy. The only issue I have is that their nights begin at 9pm.

EVDO is NOT EDGE

I think your confusing evdo with GSM's Edge. Edvo is a 3g CDMA standard and is hi speed. EDGE is a GSM Standard and is pretty slow.

I had helio, the ocean was nice but buggy and the interface is inconsistent.
The 2 Biggest reason I left them.

1.)They refused to communicate with their users about no existent bug fixes and updates.

2) The customer service is the biggest joke i have ever seen. I get better customer service at a dennys then helio ever gave me.
and let me tell you it was complete HELL trying to transfer from them to at&t, they refused to give my number up. I had to contact the FCC, that got their ass movin
