Anyone have any experience with this new company? I have checked out the phones and the plans and it looks pretty nice, but I dont have anything to go on really. Anyone use the cell service? ---

i use it and my wife uses…basically all their phones are very internet/multimmedia oriented. my wife got the ocean and i got the heat, my wifes phone was 100 with 2 year contract, mine was free…i have a friend working at helio… they have promotions going on all the time, like last moth they had unlimited plan for 100 . also it’s a phone that koreans would really appreciate it because you can type in korean and receive in korean font. there is so many options on the phone, camera and camcorder options are so good…and editing can be done on the phone, as i said if you are not korean there are a lot of options that you might not need, also if a lot of your friend use helio it would be great, if you use cyworld or myspace will be great, internet, messaging, travel, etc… ---
