Helio Heat with GPS enabled Google Maps

Mar 2, 2007 gps navigation, phones

After Drift, Helio just announced Heat – a new GPS enabled phone with support for Google Maps; manufactured by Samsung.

The heat is $75 cheaper than Drift, costing only $150. It is already available at store.

As far as monthly costs; if you go with the all-in plan with say 1000 minutes of talk time it’ll cost you $85 a month. But if you go with a la carte option, for the GPS enabled Google Maps you’ll pay .2 cents per KB, and this costs $60 for the same amount of talk time.
