Not bad, but could had been better..

15 Oct 2007 by FerneyZAN

8.4 out of 10

I give HELIO a try in hopes to find a provider to stay with and new phones and all. I got be 2 Drifts, and to my surprice while the phones were GREAT overall, HELIO's main network sucked.. I found my seld roaming a lot indoors on Verizon but that is to be expected since the main network is Sprint's. Overall the phone is great, but it does have a cheap feal to it. A bit bulky for a slider phone in comparison to some sliders that have been out in the last year or so.. I guess this phone is now discontinue for a better version that will me renamed to a different name, but in the end, it was not really the phone that made me return them all and close my account, it was the main network they use..

Loaded with options

This phone is literally loaded with options. I love everything that Helio offers and enjoy that fact that you get everything with the All-In package. The drift has everything that a phone should offer and a little more. On a huge plus, it all works too. On the downside, the drift is lacking with battery life. I have found that I keep a charger with me at all times. It's worth the sacrafice for such a gadget. I would highly recommend this phone and Helio service!!!!

Awsomeness

It's a great phone, just not as loud as I would like it. I have a custom exhaust on my car, and sometimes it is hard to hear over it. The other phone I had, the Helio Hero, didn't have this problem. Nonetheless, it's a great phone!
