exorbitant Myspace phone

 

Helio is a new mobile virtual network operator, backed by Internet service provider EarthLink and Korean-based SK Telecom, that has rolled out two phones being marketed especially for Myspace. They even have the tagline, "Helio: Don't call it a phone."  The phones are being marketed to 18 to 32 year olds, costing around $250 and between $85-135 per month for service.  The phones make it easy to photoblog, add friends or send messages on Myspace, as well as to gift or beg friends for content like games, videos or ringtones.

One of the funnier posts from the Myspace profile created by Helio:

"In about a month or 2 there will be kids, teens, adults <---- ewww to the adults. Walking around with no concept of theyre surroundings because of this device. . . .SHAME ON YOU"
