While Ocean's 2MP camera isn't quite on par a few other handsets I considered for this final spot, it's more than adequate for digital picture sharing.  It's Ocean's integrated software that gets it on the list - Helio makes it easy to upload your photos to an album, share them with friends, post them to your mySpace page, and even tag them with GPS information.  WIth an Ocean and one of Helio's "All In" plans, you can share your life in text, images, and videos with everyone you meet.  Just pray you don't have to contact Helio's Customer Service department for anything ... they're really one of the worst out there.

OZ2 : Helio Ocean 2 - Photos and Specs

OZ2 : Helio Ocean 2 - Photos and Specs

At long last some news on the forthcoming sequel to Helio's flagship device: The Ocean 2, aka OZ2.  The notable changes seem to be on the inside, as OZ2 rocks the same dual slider form factor as the original and looks to be more or less the same size, if a little more rounded and futuristic looking.  Honestly, it's hard to tell from the sole photo that hit the Web over on Engadget Mobile.What's easier to get a read on are Ocean 2's...
Pantech Ocean Introduction & Design

Pantech Ocean in-depth review - Introduction & Design

Earlier this year, Helio CEO Sky Dayton said that the Ocean is the phone he "dreamt of making" when he first took over as the MVNO's chief executive.  The Helio-designed, Pantech-built Ocean has also been near the top of my - and every other phone reviewer's - "can't wait for it" list since it was announced.  Featuring a unique dual-slider design affording dedicated QWERTY and dialing pads, a 2mp camera, media player, and...
Pantech Ocean Features

Pantech Ocean in-depth review - Features

FeaturesI could easily write a novel-length description of Ocean's features and probably still leave something out.  Helio's bread and butter is packing their "not phones" with access to all sorts of multimedia and games that users can download or subscribe to (for additional fees) via the Helio Store.  Ocean is the first device really designed from the ground up as a high-tech means of accessing all Helio has to offer.   In...
Pantech Ocean Display & Audio

Pantech Ocean in-depth review - Display & Audio

Ocean's display is excellent.  Oddly, something about the layout of the handset's "display layer" made me think the screen was smaller than it actually is, but at 2.4" in size and a QVGA resolution at 260,000 colors, Ocean's screen is on par with all but the very upper echelon of today's mobile phones.  I really like Helio's user-friendly menus and display fonts, and text, images, and video all rendered bright and crisp on Ocean's...
Pantech Ocean Messaging, Internet & Connectivity

Pantech Ocean in-depth review - Messaging, Internet & Connectivity

Ocean is as much a messaging device as it is a phone.  The operating system supports Yahoo!, AOL, and Windows Live instant messaging as well as Helio mail, Gmail, AOL mail, Earthlink mail, and good old fashioned POP3 and IMAP4 email right out of the box.  You'll be hard-pressed to find another mobile phone that comes pre-configured for access to this many messaging protocols.  SMS and MMS messages are also supported. Messaging...
Pantech Ocean Conclusion

Pantech Ocean in-depth review - Conclusion

Helio's Ocean was at the top of my "most anticipated" list since it was first announced.  The anticipation grew when images and video clips surfaced following Helio's behind-closed-doors preview of the device at CTIA in March.  When Ocean launched in May, I couldn't wait for my name to make it to the top of Helio's PR list and instead ordered a unit directly from their website.  So after all that hype, what do I make of the three...
