What happened to the Helio phones on Virgin Mobile USA?

XXX them. Helio is Goner'o. It was discontinued as recent as last week. Just as well, I had the Ocean and it crapped out on me in 2 months and I couldn't get it repaired by Pantech. When Virgin acquired Helio in 08 then Sprint Nextel completed its acquisition of Virgin Mobile. It was announced to the indirect channels that it was no longer available

I went to check out the Helio Ocean today, and it's not on the website anymore. None of the Helio branded phones are. The contract plans are gone too. There isn't any mention on the website as to what happened. This is a major bummer. I was just about to order! What did Virgin Mobile do to Helio?
