Cricket adds LG Helix to handset lineup
posted by Joe on October 29th, 2009 - 1:42 pm | Cricket

It seems that regional carriers MetroPCS and Cricket wireless are always adding new handsets. Some of them are good, but many of them are low- and mid-range devices. That’s because the companies don’t subsidize their phones like contract carriers, putting the cost burden on the consumer. Since low-end handsets are cheaper, it makes sense to load up on them — they’re more affordable to the consumer. We learned yesterday that Cricket has launched the LG Helix, a clamshell phone that features a 1.3 megapixal camera and Bluetooth. It also contains a feature called Voice Clairty, which helps when talking in a noisy area. It’s $139.99, and it’s available now at Cricket’s website.
