Some friends from Slashphone give us a first-look at Helio’s Drift. Priced at just US$225, the phone features a vibrant 2.12-inch TFT display, a 2.0MP shooter, EVDO, and a built-in GPS receiver. What makes it special is that the device ships with Google maps, and an integrated GPS module.

If you want a no-frills candybar-style handset, you can check this Sagem’s my600v. Measuring 110mm x 48mm x 16mm, the phone features a 176 x 220 TFT display, 16MB built-in memory, music player, miniSD card slot, and Bluetooth connectivity. TrustedReviews has a deep review of the Sagem my600v. Here’s the verdict:
The my600v is not the most advanced handset available, and there are a couple of real annoyances such as the lack of a front facing camera absence and the absence of a wired headset. The VGA main camera isn’t as much of a problem – if you like your photography you’ll have a good separate digital stills camera at your disposal and this one is fine for ‘shoot, share and shred’ snaps. I am astounded at the good battery life and really wanted to score this phone higher on that basis alone. But in the end, other than this, there’s not enough that’s compelling about the my600v.
