Helio Ocean Core Features and Hands-on Impressions

We’ve had the Helio Ocean for a few hours now, so we thought it’d be a good time to go over the core features and answer a few of your questions while we were at it. First off, the core features. The dual sliding works just as well as we saw back at CTIA. The…

Helio Ocean Manual, the Whole Manual, and Nothing But the Manual

Ocean fanatics are a hungry mob, maybe some would say obsessed. Some of you actually requested shots of the well-illustrated manual. Here’s the whole thing, all 150 pages of it, in case you’re going for that “virtual ownership” experience. Remember to click to the thumbnail view to skip around. Helio Ocean [Gizmodo] Note: By the…

First Unboxing of the Helio Ocean

Gizmodo is among the lucky dozen to get a finished production boxed version of the Helio Ocean. This phone of enormous importance to Helio, Earthlink, and Sky Dayton. It’s got to be the company’s Sidekick, Q and iPhone killer all in one. We’ve already shown you video of Ocean in action, and polled it against…

AdWatch: Helio Ocean’s Robotic Birth

Speaking of the Helio Ocean (which is actually barely edging out Apple’s iPhone in our poll earlier today), we’ve got a new ad they’re running for the Ocean’s TV campaign. We don’t want to describe the entire video to you here—because where’s the fun, or the point in that—but it does remind us of that…

Snap Judgements: Helio Ocean vs. Apple iPhone

OK, so in the next couple months the two phones I am most excited about – the Helio Ocean and the Apple iPhone – will be coming out. Now, since all we have to go on for both of these things are pictures, specs, and wild, uninformed speculation, it seems like the perfect time to…

Helio Ocean Coming May 21st?

Helio’s iPhone-trouncing Ocean may be available for purchase as soon as May 21st, which is a mere two weeks away. Over at the Boy Genius Report they claim that a tipster says that everything is lined up for a “general release on May 21st and a limited/internal/partner release 5-8 [days] prior.” Hey, that’s really soon!…

Craving some more one-on-one time with Helio’s new dual slider? The guys at PhoneScoop got an in-depth video of Helio’s Ocean including a look at the phone’s features and interface.

Helio Ocean Gallery and Video: Every Friggin Detail, Right Here

Now that I’ve seen it, what can I say about the Helio Ocean? For starters, its not as huge as I thought it would be with the triple layer of LCD, 9-key, and QWERTY. It’s nice, with a lot more functionality than a Sidekick III (never mind the 3G network access), but I wouldn’t call…

Finally: Helio’s Ocean Smartphone is Here

Those maniacal bastards at Helio finally launched that smartphone we told you about a few weeks back. The Ocean’s most remarkable feature is its double-slider: it’s like a triple decker of LCD, QWERTY, and Dialpad. That also makes it kind of not-skinny at 0.86 inches, around the thickness of last year’s Hiptop 3. https://gizmodo.com/helios-next-device-the-oz-smartphone-241711 But…
