Helio, everybody's favorite feature-filled cellphone provider, has just announced their new Heat phone. A slick Samsung slider, Heat comes in both conservative black and blingy gold. It's loaded with your standard issue Helio features — GPS with Google Maps, MySpace access, 3G Internet connectivity — all crammed into a really slim package.

It looks to be another winning device from the feature phone lover's best option in carriers. As a bonus, later this month Helio users will get access to mobile-optimized versions of both Wikipedia and Digg, two of the hottest sites on the web. Now you can look up articles of questionable accuracy and find articles with sweet HDR photos no matter where you are! The future is now! — Adam Frucci
