It looks like an another ordinary slide phone by Samsung. The new Helio resembles the older Samsumg Ultimate Edtion, it comes with a 2MP camera and a GPS.

It is not hitting the market officially, however it had a 2 day sale right after Christimas. For a slide phone it is extremealy thin like his older brother Ultimate Edition and when its off the screen looks like a mirror and has a few electro-static buttons that offer up some tactile feedback too.

Mysto comes with new GPS feature like WHERE and Tellme and a localize Twitter. With Tellme you don’t have to type your search anymore, now you make the search by only using your voice and it will return results for you, local to where you actually are, and from the results you can select the closest or the one you intended and then either get the phone number, address, turn by turn directions, or send the directions to a friend.

The WHERE service is a GPS widget platform for a whole bunch of location based services and is accessible through the location-aware browser that’s included in the Mysto. Thedevice’s price is $149 plus Tellme service $2.99 a month.

Personally the difference between the Mysto and the Ultimate edition its the new features. With the tendence going towards smartphones I think Samsung could have done something better, If I had to choose I would still go for the OpenMoko 1973 or Neonode 32
