Helio offers an amazingly comprehensive set of multimedia, Web-based, and location-based services for their devices. Their new $99/month Unlimited All-In plan offers one of the best values in the industry if you make heavy use of messaging and data services in addition to voice calling on your mobile device, and their use of Sprint’s EV-DO network ensures speedy data transfer for all of that Web surfing, streaming media, and location-based services activity.
The Samsung-made Mysto brings all of Helio’s offerings to an ultra-compact sliderphone. Mysto provides a stylish alternative to Helio’s other high-end handset, Ocean, for users who don’t need a full QWERTY keypad. The problem is that Mysto looks a little better than it actually works. Mysto’s gorgeous display, integrated GPS, and robust software are somewhat offset by hard to use touch controls, iffy sound quality during calls, and an oddly placed End button. It’s a very good media device coupled with a passable phone that makes for a good, if not spectacular, addition to Helio’s lineup.
