Samsung Mysto Review - Introduction

Introduction

Slim’s still in, and sliderphones don’t get much slimmer than Samsung’s Ultra U600.  Samsung and Helio brought a CDMA version of the U600 to the States in the form of Mysto, Helio’s successor to the Drift.  Mysto packs just about all of Helio’s many, many features and services into a sleek, pocketable form factor that offers an alternative to the chunky, QWERTY-packing Ocean.  In fact, I could see Mysto becoming popular as a second handset for Ocean owners, especially considering how loyal Helio enthusiasts are and how easy the MVNO makes it to switch back and forth between multiple handsets.  A few issues with Mysto’s touch controls and audio quality will keep me from raving about this handset, but if you’re into all that Helio offers (and they do offer quite a bit) but don’t want Ocean’s bulk, Mysto’s well worth a look.
