Reviews of the Helio Mysto
-
CNET Review
The Good: The Helio Mysto has a really slim profile with a generous feature set that includes built-in GPS, EV-DO, a 2-megapixel camera, direct media uploads to Flickr and YouTube, a music player with access to Helio's online music store, robust messaging options, a full HTML browser, and more. It also has a gorgeous 2.2-inch display.
The Bad: The Helio Mysto has touch-sensitive navigation controls that are difficult to get used to, a flat keypad, and an ill-placed End/Power key. Its microSD card slot is inconveniently located behind the battery cover, and sound quality was average.
The Bottom Line: Though we weren't keen on the Helio Mysto's touchy controls and call quality, we were impressed with its healthy array of features.
