Samsung SPH-A523 could be the Helio MystoIt’s not like Helio’s got a huge lineup of mobile phones in the first place, and now they’ve gone and killed one of their more promising devices – the Helio Drift. The GPS-packing Samsung slider is no more, it’s apparently been pulled from the website.

But Helio fans need not despair. Word on the street has it that the the newest addition to Helio’s offerings could be the Samsung SPH-A523, which recently won FCC approval.  Additionally, Helio has also filed for the “Mysto” trademark – leading us to believe that the next phone from Helio might be the Samsung A523 “Mysto.” We can’t say with any certainty whether the Samsung A523 will be offered as the Helio Mysto, but it sure would make sense.

We’ll keep you updated on how this develops.
