Helio ocean phone full#
Be sure to read our related CNET article about what this means for Helio's future.Īs for us, we look forward to having more time to tinker with the Ocean in the near future so that we can provide you with the full review. Packed with EV-DO support, a 2.0-megapixel camera, a music player (which supports Microsoft's PlaysForSure), and much more, the Ocean is certainly a sign that Helio is dipping its toe in the all-in-one convergence device market. Basically, it’s a theoretical The Dark Knight version of the device, with the Batman logo on it, a couple of movie-related content and a black and white body. Of course, we've only scratched the surface of the phone's features. From the guy who brought you the Nokia Tube Pipe joke concept comes this slightly modified Helio Ocean phone.
