First shot of Mysto (Samsung SPH-A523) reveals a slider, which has inherited the typical features of the Helio's phones as well as some of Samsung U600 Ultra's ones...
Does anyone have an idea of when Helio will come out with some new phones. I have had a Kickflip and a Heat but im looking for something better. They currently only have three phones on the site....so hopefully they will release the Mysto soon.

Tried the others...I'm sticking with Helio
I am very pleased with both the overall service and customer support. I left a plan that gave me 1,500 minutes for $45 and I couldn't be happier. All I need now is the Mysto!
I agree with Jared and Newgirl... Helio is the best deal in wireless. The interface on the Ocean is not iPhone interface, this is true but the functionality is really high, I discover a new feature on my phone almost every day ( its really well thought out design yet still buggy)..at the end of the day my internet is unlimited, i have real 3G speed NOT Edge, i roam for free, and text messaging is unlimited which is good because the Oceans qwerty keyboard has me sending e-mail length text messages, which annoys some of my friends and I LOVE THE GOOGLE MAPS AND GARMIN, which aside from some blackberries and iphone most phones dont have ...its so easy to use and so functional... Video camera is its biggest flaw. As far as a company they are young and trying to innovate, plus gain "subs" and profit, al at the same time. which is difficult in this industry. Unless your a bloodsucker like Sprint or Cingular, then making money is easy...Overall the value just cant be beat, between the high end phone at the reasonable price the service that is designed around that high end phone (not to make you spend more money) its the best deal you can get to date.
I agree with comment # 22. All I need is the Mysto myself.
I've been with helio for a little over a year now. I've basically been with them since they started, and even though I have had minor problems, they gave me a credit on my account, and honestly, I have every device since helio started. The only 2 i don't have are the Kickflip and the wi-fi card that is no longer available.
I could never ever go back to a normal cell phone company ever again and have to pay for text, video and picture messages, cause I get it all for free.
My favorite feature is the beg button. All you Helions know what i'm talking about. It's just really awesome for Helio to know what we want, and give it to us, before we can ask for it.
Another amazing thing about Helio is that when I get the Mysto, I WON'T HAVE TO CHANGE MY PLAN, unlike with other carriers!
Go with Helio, and you'll never ever look back.
I just got Helio on the 26th. I was porting my number from MetroPCS. It is now the 29 and my phone and the port is still not working. Problem all started when the sales rep put my city as Winder instead of
Riverdale. Its been hell with customer service since then. They keep telling me another 24 hours and the phone will be working. I'm so frustrated right now. Hope things get better.
I also agree that HELIO has been very good. I have had T-mobile, Cingular, and Virizon, and Helio's unlimited plan blows them out of the water. If they did more advertising and released more devices they would compete with some of the big dogs. I must admit that the OCEAN is a good phone but a little buggy. I'm thinking about switching to the new flip.
I just picked up the Helio Mysto recently for just $49.99 from www.heliobuy.com/helio-mysto.html and I really love this phone. I had the Ocean before and it had a lot of great features but didn't care for the large size. Also my Ocean kept freezing up and this Mysto is a real solid build. What do you guys think about the Mysto?
As a former employee of Helio .Helio is always looking for a way to screw their customers we were told not to care.And if we did we would be fired.And they took our jobs and shipped them overseas
Dont forget that when sprint a sprint tower is not avaiable it will connect to Verizon and Altell. I have used this phone all over California where I don't get service from GSM carriers and it works. I have been impressed with them since I left ATT where i had more dropped calls then ever!
My husband and I have both had Helio for over a year and a half. We both started with Drifts, but now I have an Ocean and he has a Mysto. Over the last fifteen years, I have had almost every plan out there. Helio has the best plan so far, and thats saying alot.
