New MVNO Helio today announced select details of its planned spring launch, including the first two phones and one of the key services. The first two phones are dubbed the Hero and the Kickflip. The Hero (previously known as the Pantech 8300) is a jet-black slide-style phone with stereo speakers. The Kickflip, made by VK Mobile, is a "pearlescent" phone with a spring-assisted swivel mechanism that opens in either direction. Both phones are CDMA EV-DO with QVGA displays, 2 megapixel cameras, 70 MB of memory, microSD memory card slots, and speakerphone. All Helio phones will come with an MP3 music player, MPEG-4 streaming video, and Mobile Flash for interactive content. Helio also announced that MySpace Mobile will debut on Helio at launch, offering rich mobile access to the MySpace community from Helio phones, including moblogging.
