Reviews of the Helio Drift (black)
-
CNET Review
The Good: The Helio Drift is a compact and lightweight slider handset with a comfortable grip and a stylish user interface. It features a 2-megapixel camera, a microSD card slot, a media player for music and video, EV-DO support, and GPS capabilities. The Drift also comes with cool Web features like MySpace Mobile integration, Google Maps for Mobile, and Buddy Beacon, a friend-location service.
The Bad: The Helio Drift has slippery keys that are a little too flat to the surface of the phone.
The Bottom Line: While the Helio Drift may not be as attractive as the Helio Kickflip, the Drift's high-end multimedia features, Bluetooth, and GPS capabilities make it probably the best handset that Helio has to offer.
