Helio... Call it a phone and get your ass beat!

The Ocean also delivers full over-the-air music downloads, video-on-demand, a 2 megapixel camera, an HTML browser, MySpace on Helio, GPS-enabled Google Maps for mobile, and Buddy Beacon.

Their Previous devices includes (some discontinued)

Helio Kickflip
(dicontinued)

http://www.helio.com/images/device/k...verview_01.png
Helio's very first device on the market. The Kickflip is a swiveling device. Some of the features included 2.0 megapixel camera, 90 minutes of video, side buttons, QVGA screen, and 8 day stand by/2.5 hour talk time battery life. Even though the Kickflip was possibly Helio's most popular device at the time, it was discontinued due to VK Mobile filing for bankruptcy.



Helio Hero (disontinued)
http://www.gadgets-weblog.com/502267...ntech_Hero.jpg
The Helio Hero was Helio's second device. It was a slider, available only in black. The Hero included 2.0 megapixel camera with opening and closing lens cover, QVGA screen, coprocessor chip for enhanced video and sound. Included speakers and gave stereo sound like you never heard before on a phone



Helio Drift/Heat
(I currently own a drift)

http://www.crunkrockradio.com/style/...%20-%20225.jpg
The Drift is available in black and a limited edition white pearlescent. The Drift is the first to have Location Based Services bundled with the device. The Drift comes loaded with a version of Google Maps that uses the device's GPS to locate the user on a map and the Buddy Beacon application that lets friends share their current location with each other. It also features a 2.0 megapixel camera. This is Helio's third model. Also include Bluetooth

http://image2.sina.com.cn/IT/mobile/...93ce0aa243.jpg
The heat is the Sister device to the Drift as it only has 1.3 megapixels. But the cool thing is... it's touch based.

I have a few problems with helio though.... The customer Service sucks and they don't give you alot of information when first ordering it. Other than that this is a great device. If you have had previous problems with the Helio, Question about Helio, Or would just like to discuss how cool of a phone (SHIT... said phone again) this is. Post here

NOT A PHONE

OK, so it's not a phone.

It's just a very shitty and limited computer (hell, PDA.)

Your point?

galen May 13, 2007 01:08 PM

Can you even get Helio phones in the US?

The_Melomane May 13, 2007 01:12 PM

Whatever happened to phones that just call people?

What the hell is the point of making phones more difficult to use, it's pointless cause if we be honest who actually uses all the functions on these phones.

they just get more confusing to use i say:confused:

the whole point of a phone is to talk to people over long distances.

Make phones, phones again.

Does it dial numbers and connect to other phones an better than my current cell phone? No? Then why the fuck would I want one?

Hey, let's just keep it simple. I want a phone that I can call and text message with. Maybe a camera to take pictures and record with, and Bluetooth. Upgrades in those areas and some I'm forgetting is always welcome. But this thing is a fucking GADGET. It's almost not even a phone anymore. HE'S MORE MACHINE NOW. TWISTED AND COPPUPTED. I wouldn't even take that thing out of my house.

And is this advertisement spam or what? I got my finga on the button.

The_Melomane May 13, 2007 02:13 PM

Yeah, I can get phones that have the cameras because that's actually really convenient and I use it all the time. But why does a phone need to surf the internet? My cell has the ability to surf and all it does for me is cost extra money and create a huge hassle. Pretty soon these cell phones are going to be too damned small and have too many pointless features to even be able to use it.

Oh wait, that's already happened.

RacinReaver May 13, 2007 04:43 PM

I like how there's the people in this thread that only want a phone to make calls, others that only need to text, others that just want a camera, and I'm sure soon enough we'll have someone that says theirs works as an mp3 player and why should they bother with something more complex.

Is Helio also a service provider or do they just make phones for everyone else?

Dark Nation May 13, 2007 05:10 PM

Sage for Viral Marketing.

All I need in a cellphone is something that makes and receives phone calls. Everything else is just techcandy.

Congle line of abuse. Or is that conga-line. Or congaline. May 13, 2007 05:16 PM

How much was it again? Also when will "phones" have the power to make hamburgers, or at the very least, hot-dogs? I'd take that over being harrased via instant messaging, text messaging, email, etc. Just send me a hot-dog with your message please.

IdleChill May 13, 2007 05:39 PM

I want the korean version of the LG chocolate. It's so sexy. The American one is fat and has an ugly face.

No no... definitely not spam or advertising.... I made this thread cause I had some questions about some things and decided to introduce it first because no thread had been made about it before.

So sorry... I haven't created a thread in a minute. I guess I need to polish up on my thread making skills as so It won't seem like advertisement

YES IT IS. If it wasn't, it wouldn't have the necessary items needed to make phone calls.

God, I hate that sales campaign.

Musharraf May 14, 2007 01:45 AM

If you want a phone that's not going to be a phone because it's going to break one or two days after you get it, you should buy a Motorola RAZR, it's awesome; how can they produce such a shit cellphone, I don't believe it (grrrrr!)

Bradylama May 14, 2007 02:22 AM

Call it a phone and Helio sends 3 hairy Russian men to kidnap and press you into their cellular extortion racket.

Infernal Monkey May 14, 2007 02:38 AM

I'm so confused here, is this an advertising thread for a phone or some kind of super computer that can push out Toy Story graphics like it's 1995? I have a mobile phone, it has numbers that you can press. With your fingers or even a stick. When you chain them together and press the little green go button, you can sometimes talk to someone on the other end. I can talk to people with my mobile phone. I can also avoid voice and send people text messages. Why ask someone where they want to meet like a caveman goon when I can send eighty messages instead?

"WHRE U WAN MEET"
"DUNNO"
"OTSIDE SHOP?"
"DUNNO WOT SHOP"
"COFE SHOP NXT 2 TTOTWTHEWHGOT905LOL"
"WHRE DAT"
"U NO OVA DER"
"OIC K"

I can also play a game on my phone where you walk slowly in a room and crates fall on top of you. Then it makes a loud beeping noise. I don't need Toy Story graphics for that!

Yeah, my cellphone has games, too. But it doesn't have "Snake" which is a shame because it's really the best game.

Yeah, if you're a careless tool or have a bad habit of throwing things. I had my Razr for a year and a half before it got stolen. Even dropped it on pavement a few times. The most it got was a few scratches.

As for this Helio bullshit, the only good thing about it is the commercials, like the one with the French guy attacking that dude with a fork, and the one with Carrot Top in it where the whale comes from nowhere and eats the girl.

Both quoted for ultimate truth.

The sad part is, half my friends send text messages like that to me, and become annoyed when I send a text with normal human language. I need new friends >_<.

As for the Helio... I stand firm that it's a goddamn phone. No matter how much crap you add to it, hell you could stuff a fully functional (full size, even) Super Nintendo on to the thing, and as long as I can call Checkmate's to order a Pizza, it's a goddamn phone.
