"Helio Kickflip: The ok phone"
Pros: Bi-flip design, 2.0 megapixel camera,
Cons: 1 inch thick when closed.
Summary: I switched from Verizon Wireless to Helio last year and I don't regret it. The plan is awesome and the service(in New York State), though sometimes inconsistent, is powerful. As for the Kickflip itself...that is a different story. I switched a year after I got it to the Helio Heat because I needed more features.I thought it looked great in the pictures on the internet, however, it is much bigger in reality. You can see the lump created by the Kickflip in your pocket for a mile (especially in jeans, where the pockets are tight). It has some great features like the addictive bi-flip design and the great camera, which can be used even when the phone is closed in landscape mode by holding down the camera button. The videos taken with the kickflip come out very pixely and they take up a lot of memory. The internet feature can only really be used with full bars, and it has a very limited list of sites that can be viewed completely (almost all sites are cut down to the bare minimum, so bare that you can't use them at all). So, if you are considering switching to Helio, get the Drift or the Heat because they are infinitely better than this 1 INCH THICK phone.
