Dual Slide: Ocean From Helio Without Water

Ocean from Helio.

This is a new Dual-Slide phone from Helio. Dual slider means that it can slide in two ways, as shown on the picture, it is a nice looking style for a phone. As someone once told me, "There are phone, and then phones after the iPhone." Meaning that iPhone will inspire new styles in the phone market. Was this inspired by Apple's phone? I don't think so. It looks to have a very unique style. Helio describes it as "the ultimate machine."
It seems like it is not the first dual slider phone, because the only thing Helio says is that it is "the first dual slider that has it all." If it is the second or third, it does not really matter. It Looks to be a nice phone and many people may be willing to put their hands on it. According to Helio's web site, the phone will be available for this spring, 2007. The price will be $295 with the activation of a new service plan.

This is one of the two ways the Ocean can be slided. But can be the two slide modes be used at the same time? That question is yet to be answered. I will give to this phone 3.9 out of 5. Maybe a 4.

This Ocean does not have water, but sure has some some features. For more info visit Helio.com
