Want a taste of Helio, the new cell-phone carrier? They've got a neat deal running - they've eliminated contracts and early termination fees for MySpace users, which basically means everybody, because it's free to sign up for MySpace.

You do have to buy the phone, which will set you back $275 for the Helio model I recommend (the Hero), but if you don't like it, you can always re-sell it on eBay. Killing off the shackles of contracts and those dire termination fees is exactly the kind of fresh thinking I was looking for from Helio, and it will probably attract a lot of people to their service. It's hard to try something new if you have to commit to it for two years. It's easy if you're going month-to-month, so bravo, Helio.
