Tuesday, June 10, 2008I would like to know if the Ocean allows one to listen to music at sites that play music. I am musician and I like to listen to music at various music sites,i.e. clips. Does this device allow this?

6/20/2008 3:44:10 AMI have this phone, and mine has a delay when i txt, and will sometimes add extra characters when i txt. Is Mine the Only one that does that?

davisito311

6/18/2008 12:48:34 AMoh yeah and i forgot to mention that the Helio has MUCH better service! The Sidekick loses service everywhere. I believe that the Sidekick basically has some of the worst service i have ever had with a phone.

davisito311

6/18/2008 12:45:32 AMHelio is MUCH better than the sidekick! It has ALOT more features such as better web browsing, video camera, better menus, etc... One thing I'll give the Sidekick LX is that it looks a little bit better that the Ocean. Other than looks, the Helio Ocean is better than the Sidekick in EVERY way.

cynikal89

6/5/2008 6:41:35 PMI have the Ocean, and it's awesome. I wouldn't buy any other mobile device, evarrr! One thing people seem to not like is the keyboard, I personally, am a big dude, with pretty big hands. I don't have that much of a problem with the keyboard. Love the service also, it's a great device.

RIP Helio: Virgin Set to Absorb Helio, Close its Doors, Kill off its Brand

Looks like the end is near for Helio and all you Helionauts, I'm sad to say. Ryan Block - the Editor in Chief of Engadget Ryan Block - just reported that Helio store managers are being notified that Virgin will be shuttering the doors on some, or possibly all, of Helio's retail outlets across the country as part of their takeover of the copmany. Furthermore it looks like Virgin will simply absorb all that is Helio, doing away with the Helio brand in the process. No word yet on when...

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 specs: 3mp camera (up from 2mp), 30 fps video...

Merger? : Helio and Virgin Mobile in Talks to Join Forces

Could everyone's favorite MVNO be looking to merge with a less cool but bigger and badder MVNO? Could be. Multiple media outlets have been reporting that Helio (everyone's fave, if you ask me) and Virgin Mobile USA (actually bigger and badder than Helio) are in talks to join forces. Details are a little bit sketchy right now, but one scenario desribed by The Washington Post has Helio's parent company SK Telecom buying out Virgin Mobile USA and then pouring some cash into the...

CTIA preview: Helio making plans for later in '08; no Ocean 2 just yet

Helio's been knocked around in the news a bit lately, but a source tells me they're doing alright and planning some big things for later in the year. Despite having been cut off by former parent company Earthlink earlier this year after costing them $111.3 million in net losses for 2007 (they're now the domain of SK Telecom), Helio actually outpaces the industry in many key financial categories. They added over 180,000 subscribers in Q4 '07, representing a 28% growth rate jump...

All-in: Inching closer to true 'everything' plans

Yesterday Helio announced a limited-time offer $99/month Unlimited plan that gives you all the voice, messing, and handset-based data (read: no laptop tethering) you can stand for just under one hundred bucks a month. Today Sprint - Helio's network provider - chimed in with their own offer: Unlimited "Everything" for $119.99/mo, with laptop tethering available as a $30/mo add-on. (Note that the offer is currently only available in five US markets.)For the extreme power user, these...

Helio lowers unlimited plan – Now just $99

This one comes as a pleasant surprise: Helio has lowered the cost of its unlimited plan from $145 to just $99/month. The plan includes unlimited voice, text/video messaging, GPS services with Google Maps, and 3G data speeds (no laptop tethering option) for surfing the net or checking your emails. With most carriers steering away from unlimited data plans, Helio's offer seems like a great alternative, but be sure you review chapter 10 of their Membership Terms before signing up. ...
