Now that the highly anticipated Helio Ocean is finally in my hands, months of sleepless nights will come to and end. SlashGear is one of a handful of lucky sites to get the first production version of the Ocean. There is simply so much to test out and write up before I can adequately write a full review. However, before you go and watch the unboxing video and salivate over the images, I have one word – WOW!
Enjoy the unboxing video and the images. I promise to have more throughout today and tomorrow.
Thanks for the Ocean, Helio!

Man, I wish I could get that phone (and the Helio services to go with it) in the UK. I’d dump my current provider in a second!
Now the big question comes, Ocean or iPhone? It’s going to be a toss-up for a lot of people.
We’ll setup a poll (similar to Gizmodo) for SlashGear readers to vote on which they prefer - the Ocean or iPhone - later.
hurry up, hurry up turn it on and show us what it can do. How does the QWERTY keybord feel? Does it feel solid and do the sliders seem sturdy? Could you drop it on the cement outside and let us know if it breaks? :-P
The keyboard might just swing it to my mind - but then that’s because I like push email.
this my friends is what dreams are made of.
I can’t wait to get mine.
He missed the jack adapter so that normal headphones can be used on the phone.
nice catch, it jack adapter wasn’t too important so I left it out. I’ll much sure to include in the review…thanks!
The new Ocean’s launched on Friday, and I came across a promotional code to save some serious green when you go to buy it.
==> $75 off the $295 pricetag
==> $30 Activation Fee waived
==> $25 off first four months of service ($100 total)
Go to the Helio website and use the promo code B2BDGOD
I ordered my Ocean on Friday and got it this morning… and it’s awesome!
