Great All Around M2D (Multi Media Device)

Overall Rating:
3.2 out of 5
By: Daniel Greene on Wednesday, June 18, 2008
From: Jackson, MI (United States)
Experience: 1 Months
Pros: Acess to email thru Yahoo, Google. MSN, AOL. Chatting thru Yahoo AOL, easy access to your own Helio web mail address. Dont have to call customer care (email them) Wap web browser from Helio, or HTML third party browser from Opera. Great for myspace, facebook, youtube, google, craigslist and more,round shape helps keep the device in your hands better than a square device. 3G web network, Great Individual plans/Family plans

Cons: Freezes if you enter into a new area than what your used to (will do it once and then be used to it), not many bluetooth profiles, speakerphone almost non hearable, if sprint stinks in your area this might not be so great, but itll still work.

Summary: Wow, a multi media power house meet business functionality. This M2D is not meant to be used primarily as a phone, but more of a media center for those who are on the road or for teens who are into posting pics and blogs :D or for business persons who do mostly texting or emailing. Having said that i love it! I can post a video to Youtube one minute and then surf the internet the next or check my bank account balance online, or check flights or what ever. I say that for those who dont like the Ocean, you used it for the wrong purpose. This is a completely functional device that is lots of fun! I hope u will find this review helpful

Dont fall into the hype

Experience: 13 Months
Pros: Some but not any to brag about

Cons: qwerty buttons tiny, freezes often, and very limited bluetooth!

Summary: Don't be fooled by the hype that the ocean has around it its a mediocre phone and if your considering it you would be better off getting the instinct or something. With bluetooth you cant send or receive files only use headsets.

3 devices in 30 days

Overall Rating:
2.2 out of 5
By: Pamela Montemagno on Tuesday, October 09, 2007
From: Glendale, OH (United States)
Experience: 30 Days
Pros: Couldn't find any

Cons: Device & customer service

Summary: I had 3 devices in 30 days. They would crash and the Heli techs could not solve the problem. The customer service is pathetic. They told me it takes up to 6 weeks to post payments, made it nearly impossible to get my number back and after 3 months I still don't have a refund. I do however have an FCC complaint!!
