What do you know about the Helio service?

I’m really really tempted to get on board with Helio for my cell service. Their new “Ocean” phone is sexy and very shiny :slight_smile:

But I’m having a hard time getting a handle on any reviews of their service, almost everything I’ve turned up is a review of hardware only.

So what do Dopers know about them, any positive or negative reviews?

Well, they don’t have their own towers or anything… they use Sprint’s network, so if Sprint has good coverage where you’re at, you’re good to go. They’re an MVNO, so I suspect reviews of their network will be few and far between… they don’t have their own network.

Ah ha! That explains it. I do use Sprint currently, so that’s cool… now to just get my hands on the Ocean.
