Helio is an MVNO (a phone service provider that buys cell-tower time/usage from another large carrier... in this case, Sprint and Verizon).

I'm leaving VZ for this phone.. unlimited text and pic... and 1000 mins for like 85 bucks a month...

This is the most impressive so far, though, and a step in the right direction for them. This phone alone would get me to switch to Helio if they had family plans. If Helio can keep releasing phones of this technological level they'll succeed.

But to reiterate, this will not be available on any other carrier. Helio was likely directly involved in the design of this hardware, paid for some of the de...

Definitely not. This is a 100% Helio exclusive. Helio pretty much designed this phone for themselves.
