Some time back, I blogged about the Helio Ocean. At the time, coverage was not so great. But, Helio has my area covered—with the exception of 3G—and there are four phones to choose from: the Ocean, the Heat, the Fin and the Drift.

OK. I'm not that much of a phoner for a tech guy; I use computers for the Internet and phones for phone calls. Pardon me for dating myself. What does that have to do with Helio?

The phones look great and pack some awesome features, but the best local coverage in my neck of the woods comes from Alltel (not Sprint) and the phones that come with Alltel for a few bucks (not hundreds) will suffice.

Helio wants hundreds for the phones and over a hundred for unlimited service. I'm sure they are worth it, if your last name is Rockefeller. Somebody see to my first million bucks for me and I'll rush right out and get one. Still "no thanks" on the iPhone.
