Helio... Call it a phone and get your ass beat!
As some of you know... Helio is arguably the best phone (damn)out now. And Now they have just released a new addition to their repertoire. The Ocean is the world's first dual-slider device combining a traditional numeric keypad and a separate full QWERTY keyboard in a single handset. Designed primarily as a social networking tool. The Ocean merges Instant Messages, text messages, picture messages and emails from all the major portals in one location. 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.
  Form Factor – Dual Slider – alphanumeric keypad + full QWERTY keyboard Color – Black Dimensions – 4.33" x 2.20" x .86" Weight – 5.61 oz Display – 2.4 inch QVGA display, 240 x 320, 260K colors 3G Speed – EV-DO network support for fast multimedia downloads Talk Time – Up to 5.1 hours Memory – 200MB internal memory expandable via microSDTM with USB Mass Storage Mode Camera – 2.0 Megapixel, digital zoom, built-in flash Video Camera – MPEG-4 video recording Audio – Stereo Bluetooth® wireless technology Personal Entertainment Center – Supports: MP3, AAC, WMA, MPEG-4, H.264, VOD, MOD (details taken from official website) Their Previous devices includes (some discontinued) Helio Kickflip (dicontinued)  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)  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)  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  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 Official website.... www.helio.com Jam it back in, in the dark.

OK, so it's not a phone.
It's just a very shitty and limited computer (hell, PDA.) Your point? There's nowhere I can't reach.  |

Can you even get Helio phones in the US?
This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it. |

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  the whole point of a phone is to talk to people over long distances. Make phones, phones again. Most amazing jew boots |

And is this advertisement spam or what? I got my finga on the button. There's nowhere I can't reach. |

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. How ya doing, buddy? |

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? I am a dolphin, do you want me on your body? |

Sage for Viral Marketing.
All I need in a cellphone is something that makes and receives phone calls. Everything else is just techcandy. Most amazing jew boots

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.
What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now?  |

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!)

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

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! Most amazing jew boots |

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.

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. What, you don't want my bikini-clad body? If there is evil in this world, it lies within the hearts of mankind.
