Helio‘s going for the jugular:for potential users who have multiple electronic devices sitting in drawers at home, the MVNO is offering a one-time shot to trade in those devices for cash.

A Denver customer (as calcualted by RCR) would get about $188 (after shipping and handling) for trading in a Palm Inc. Treo 650, while a Motorola Inc. Razr V3 would net around $50.
