Verizon Vs. Helio

Ahh the choices. I'm stuck between sticking with my current carrier, Verizon, and getting the EnV, or switching to Helio and getting the Ocean. I'm pretty much a newbie when it comes to CDMA technology (pretty proficient with GSM) so if some of you guys could give me your insight it would be greatly appreciated.

Check sprint coverage is your area before going Helio since Helio runs off the Sprint network.

The ocean is pretty cool, but very buggy. After using two in stores and having a few friends with it I can say that it is impressive, but the amount of crashing is no joke. I used the ones in store for less than 10 minutes before they bogged down and the webpages aren't that great (formatting errors and many pages cause errors). Also the Ocean is not a real smart phone, you can only do 1-2 things at a time and can't do much else while listening to music.

But the speed was very fast (coming from EDGE) and the IMs seen to work well.

EnV is a bit more boring, but I have a friend with one who loves it and it has never crashed in the hour plus I played with it.

The OCEAN is a great device and in reguards to "running off Sprint" Helio also roams into Verizons network if sprint is not available.

Yeah I don't think Helio is going to be happy if you roam on Verizon all the time. I know many carriers will drop you if you use over 50% of your minutes on roaming since they have to pay a lot for that. Also doubt many of the features will work as well while roaming since even Sprint's dont always work right when roaming on verizon.
