ya sprint is lookin decent, but for now I'll wait for the Ocean2 n hope for the best =X

Hey Everyone,

I'm just as disappointed as everyone else on fall of Helio to Virgin. I read that the CEO of Helio stepped down to become a Board-director, maybe that was a smart move on his behalf to still be able to make decisions for Helio as to what's to come in the near future. But as for the rest of us down here it looks like he's running (jumping ship before it sinks lol)

Bardog thanks for putting the info out there.

Right now I think Sprint is the next best thing out there as for the plans are concerned. Lately I've been looking at EBay to buy a new / used PPC 6900 but that Instict looks and sounds pretty good deal. I just love the PDA features.

I think Helio will remain the same and possibly get better, It'll still say Helio I think on the phones, supposedly from what I hear, but it will be distributed from Virgin Mobile USA....so I dunno what the real deal is, but for now from what they are saying, its not looking so bad, Cuz I'm not loosing anything as a helio customer.......

Maybe they're just saying it so I don't cancel my contract!

We will have the scoop from an event soon about Ocean2

ewdison....what exactly is soon? when is this event?

It was actually two days ago, unfortunately, some things shown are under non disclosure agreement

oh man this sucks, was the phone at least there?

Nope, virgin didn't bring any unit, but they show us some info on O2

I think we'll see something from Virgin Mobiles at CTIA 2008 in SF early next month. I'll be covering the event, so stay tune.
