Helio Ocean

Take a look at Helio trying to whoop up on the iPhone. This Sony Mylo look-alike, does things you’ve always been wanting, but now it’s finally all in one device. It features a dual sliding mechanism, reveleaing a full QWERTY keyboard or a number pad, yet still is able to be slimmer and lighter then a Sidekick 3. It offers a 2 megapixel camera, full HTML browser, blazing 3G speeds, 2.4" screen, stereo speakers, and a MicroSD slot. For email and chat, it features all of the major carriers including AOL email and AOL IM, Yahoo! email and Yahoo! Messenger, Windows Live Messenger, Windows Live Mail, Hotmail, Gmail, EarthLink, Helio Mail, and includes the ability to add in your own POP email address. It also includes the latest MySpace application as well as support for Play-For-Sure audio tracks. GPS is built right in, and can be used with Buddy Beacon to find out where your nearby friends are. Soo creepy.

This phone pretty much does everything you could ask for in a mobile device. Expect to pay around $65/month with all of the above features and 500 minutes included. It is scheduled to be released this spring at $295.
