Having been on Helio when the only two handsets were so much less cool than the current crop... Helio is indeed a bargain for what you get: I don't know what you're referring to, but their "all-in" plan, is truly ALL-IN. You don't pay for anything other than downloaded content. Free 3g.
Unfortunately, in my particular area, the Sprint Voice network is particularly lackluster, and the phones will only kick over to Verizon when the signal is completely gone. making voice calls was a pain in the ass. (imagine going back to purposefully blocking the signal, so it will kick into roaming)
I think they've got a great angle, for an MVNO. they should try to market just a bit more to up-scale gadget grubbing tech nerds (like myself) if they could put out something just a bit more like the blackberry pearl, with stereo bluetooth. I'd probably switch back.
