"Great phone"
Pros: GPS, internet capability, all inclusive service
Cons: Music transfer software is janky, battery life
Summary: I've had the Helio Drift for several months, and I love it. I originally bought it for its music player and expandable memory, but find that I use the internet capabilities, and especially the GPS/Google maps functions much more than I thought I would. Say goodbye to 411 charges - Google Maps will find any business you're looking for based on your location! The Buddy Beacon feature would be nice - if I knew anyone else who used this service.
My only complaints are that the music transfer software is seriously janky, it feels like a beta but isn't marked that way, and that the battery life could be better. On the other hand, I don't let this phone idle in standby the way I did with my old Nokia, so it might be that I'm using it more. Battery life, even with heavy internet usage, will get me through the day, but won't last a week like some of the phones I've owned. Invest in a car charger or a separate charger for work and you'll be all set.
