In addition, Korean customers of SKT should pay about 2 or 3 times of money if they buy same phones as helio... even they are downgraded phone..! (same as HTC TyTn II and AT&T Tilt... Tilt has no front-side camera :D) Sk telecom is the biggest wireless company in South Korea, and their service is very similar with VZW

Helio has to subsidize the handsets along with paying upfront for customer acquisition. The full reward cycle takes 24 months to realize the value for the total member subscription period. Helio has beat their subscriber and revenue numbers estimates and we look for them to hit profitability some time in late 2009.

This is an expensive game to be in, and nobody expected Helio to be profitable yet - but it looks like the gap toward profitability is closing quicker than they expected. If revenue keeps growing at the rate it currently is, and losses keep slowing, proportional to that revenue growth = good things. Plus, with a parent company willing to throw down $5 BILLION into Sprint, a few hundred million is peanuts. Keep at it, Helio!
