Um, not really. Try adding 3G, GPS, haptics and the Helio applications that the GSM version will never have - then you have Mysto.
...
It's always possible that a GSM version of this phone will have 3G and GPS, just not the Helio apps, that's all.
...
The GSM version of this is the U600. It's been out for quite a while. It does not have 3G nor GPS.
There is a somewhat similar phone called the U700 that is 3G, but it's thicker and not quite the same design.

What about the garbage camera on the helio?
...
garbage???
2 MP camera with flash and 4x digtal zoom
video camera - MPEG 4 video recording
also has Built-In Photo Studio (for editing and some fun fetures)
yeah that sounds like garbage ((sracasim, just in case you couldnt figure that out)) to me!!

Yes. Compared to my 5mp carl zeiss with autofocus, xenon flash, vga video at 30fps the camera on this phone is garbage.
Compared to the original u600 it's garbage too.
If a camera doesn't have autofocus, it's pretty much worthless.
...
geez men if your comparin' that to the n95 or n82 well definitely that's garbage. it's only half the features and technology that the n95 or n82 has but you also have to be considerate about the phone if you'll compare it to the same level of phones or category that mysto falls into. the way i see it the phone is already packed with good features and it's cheap. you can't expect it to be like n95 or n82 since those phones costs $500-$600 and of course you get what you pay for.

I agree. But was really talking vs. the gsm version. Dropping from a 3.2 autofocus to a 2 without autofocus is pretty bad.
Putting against the n82 was just exaggeration and shouldn't have.
...
well since chinese version of phones will be coming to the US market we can expect a big competition and i'm sure they'll be putting up a fight when it comes to pricing but of course it is us consumers who will benefit from these competitions. i just hope that the chinese phones will have a good quality and feature if not better compared to the original versions.
...
Sure it doesn't have what the GSM version has. That's not a surprise considering most GSM phones coverted to CDMA lose features. That's just the way it is. And i'm sure it wasn't up to Helio.
