Actually if they want to bench themselves to someone, they should bench themselves to Helio which offers $99 for unlimited Voice AND Data. Pretty much anything you can do with the phone is unlimited: talk, text, email, IM, stream, etc.
I don't have Helio, but that $99 ALL you can eat is very very compelling and if my kids were old enough to warrant getting them cell phones - they'd have Helios.
why benchmark yourself with Helio? that would be like at&t comparing themselves to Sprint...those companies have no coverage area and no customers. when you're the leader you don't have to concern yourself with companies that you have a major advantage in coverage area
What are you talking about? Have you checked out Helio? Do you have one? Helio uses Sprint's network, so they are totally covered nationwide. So far, Helio is the best carrier I have had. The best price for a TRUE UNLIMITED plan, and great service too. I would have picked T-mobile if Helio uses Sprint people, but Helio has their own customer service, nice and fast on the phone. GO HELIOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!! Anyone who is using anything else but Helio if they needed a lot of minutes for talking and surfing, they are idiots!
Will you clearly don't know too much about Helio. The system and its data network operate just fine nationwide at least as well at AT&Ts and in many cases I have tested with Helio devices (I am a developer in that space) that have operated while the AT&T devices were dropping signal while claiming to have 4+ bars. So I would suggest, Will, that you inform yourself a little better before you start spreading untruths about Helio. I have a number of reasons for not liking Helio, but lack of coverage would certainly not be one.

When Helio lets me use by world-wide 3G coverage phone, then I'll look at them. Otherwise, baby in the corner.
