It's pretty much a givin the target audience they are after(18-30, i.e t hose who don't have much or any credit).<br><br>The fun part is that the phones aren't tied into any contracts, so you can switch up to a new phone anytime you feel like it without having to sign your cellular life over for another two years... <br><br>Now it all comes down to the price of the phones. And if Amp'd first Phone(Amp'd Jet for $99 vs the Virgin Mobile Slider Remixed for 249) is an example of pricing, it looks good. But I expect 99-300 range for phones. 300 being something like the sidekick.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Sean DL]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Dec 19th 2005 12:55AM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Helio: the MVNO formerly known as SK-Earthlink]]></title><link>http://www.engadget.com/2005/10/26/helio-the-mvno-formerly-known-as-sk-earthlink/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadget.com/2005/10/26/helio-the-mvno-formerly-known-as-sk-earthlink/</guid><description><![CDATA[Just want to confirm -- Helio is not doing pre-pay.

They are obviously aiming 'upmarket'. This isn't for young kids who work at McDonald's. It's supposed to be for young professonionals with deeper pockets. The phones are going to be considered very upmarket as well.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Sung]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Dec 19th 2005 12:55AM</pubDate></item></channel></rss>
