The Helio Heat is not - I repeat, is NOT a phone. It's an entire communications system. It puts the Global Positioning System at your fingertips with Google Maps, and gives you music and videos on demand … even a camera. With flash.

Its touch pad is electrostatic and very, very sensitive. It's so sensitive, in fact, that you can practically become one with the little machine as it obeys your every command almost as soon as you think them. That means it's quicker.

It also advertises amazing slide action, due to its sleek little form.

Since you not only have a lot of places to be at one time, and a lot of people to coordinate with, instead of trying to explain your whereabouts to your friends and contacts, simply use the Buddy Beacon system. Use GPS to let each other know where you are.

You can also plug into MySpace with the Heat. Figuratively speaking of course. No wires. But you can post photos and comments right from your little phone-that-isn't-a-phone. You can log on wherever and whenever you are.
