The Ocean is clad in dark plastic and the keys are quite easy to manage, except for the truncated space key. There is 200MB of storage on board and the phone will support Janus DRM and may be PlaysForSure compatible down the line.
On this whole, this is a strong product and will redefine messaging, even in the face of the iPhone, whatever the heck THAT thing will do. Very, very interesting.
At quick glance it looks like a Mylo when the QWERTY keypad is exposed…
I’d like to know how the web browser app works. Did you get to test it with any real web pages? Even with no java support I would love to be able to access web pages. I am tired of carrying around my nokia 770 and a cell phone!
the web browser worked very well. It has two modes, condensed and full html. There is even a zoom mode that fits it to screen or makes it big. CrunchGear looked great in it.
Any idea whether it supports Bluetooth DUN?
Curious whether the AIM and other messaging features have compatiability issues that a couple of the other phone AIM do — at least the ones I tried. Only one I found that didn’t have as many problems was the SK.
it is a full web browser, and AIM works almost flawlessly.
will you be able to blue tooth tether this thing to a laptop?
when exactly is the helio ocean coming to stores? the helio website has said “spring” for the past 2-3 months… and spring is basically over?
The new Ocean’s launching tomorrow, and I came across a promotional code to save some serious green when you go to buy it.
==> $75 off the $295 pricetag
==> $30 Activation Fee waived
==> $25 off first four months of service ($100 total)
Go to the Helio website and use the promo code B2BDGOD
I’m anxious to trade-in my Heat, even though I just got it a couple months ago.
Love’n my new Helio Ocean!
? about the email however, can I set it to automatically “alert” me when I have received a new email?
