Some more I've seen on www.HowardForums.com

Quoting: Carlan600i
I work at a helio store and my boss recently informed me that in about 2 months they are discontinuing the Drift and releasing a new phone called the "ambition"


No pictures or Info yet, but I'll try and dig in for more information.

Wow, seems like they would keep a fuller line of phones than just 3 but truely they are still some pretty powerful phones. I wish my phoen provider had more powerful phones.

I don't know why the discontinuing of the phones happens, but their goal is 4 phones a year.

Hm, that's pretty good. But I would of thought they would let more of a variety come about in terms of keeping 5-10 various phones to choose from.

Nah I get exactly what you're saying, wish they would too. Keeps a good price variety specially when they drop. A lot of my friends hesitate on Helio because of the phone prices. Before they drop they are just discontinued.

Yea I know!! My phone provider is the same way but they offer a wide variety but the cheapest phone you can get your hands on are $100 bucks.

Plus the cheapest phone I think has to be made of the cheap plastic off the toys you get in happy meals. I could go to the store and get a pre-paid phone for $25 which would be better than the $100 phone they sell.

I spent $175 to get me a good phone and I thought it was out ragious I paid that much as it wasn't even that good of a phone. I just got it so that it wouldn't be soo cheaply made.

Plus they have no upgrade phone plan so you basically have to pay full price on a new phone to upgrade your phone even if you have been with them for 5 years. I spoke to the president of Operations and he said he plans on them making some type of upgrade phone replacement system. But who knows when that will be...

Yea, I always would think if someone is working on something M-F 9-5 then it should be done within a month at least. But it always ends up being 3-4 months.

Seems like many development teams are like that though but I guess if they do that to make it perfect.
