I don’t mean to ask a stupid question, but what is that $175/mth plan? I have a plan that costs, including tax and contract renew discount, around $100/mth for unlimited everything, texts, minutes, data, whole nine yards. Is that a family plan or somesuch? I’ve been holding the all-unlimited plan out of some paranoia that if I drop it for a few months, I won’t be able to pick it up again.

Ah, I wish I could delete my comment, I clicked through (and through and through) and see what you mean.
Nevermind.

No kidding. I left Sprint for Helio 2 and a half years ago….Sprint is getting the new Android operated HTC Hero for $180 in October.

Why is this site not reporting the VM/Helio purchase by Sprint?

I don’t know that there’s much activity in the Helio community anymore.

My third ocean died and I had to go with the Droid. So long Helio; it’s been real.
