The Helio Ocean 2, Hands On

Helio Ocean 2 from Virgin Mobile is built originally by Pantech. The general look remains much the same, but this model brings improvements on the original. The Helio Ocean 2 has smoother lines and a better color scheme as well. The keypad is convenient to use and the new dual-mode optical/mechanical d-pad works quite well.

The problem is with the EV-DO 3G connectivity, which is a tad bit too slow. So that makes browsing difficult. That notwithstanding, this gadget is still great to use. The Ocean 2 is a dual slider, with both the QWERTY keyboard and numeric pad sliding out in different directions. The Helio Ocean 2 is now available online from Virgin Mobile for US$150, after rebates.

Check out pictures of this mobile phone. We will be posting a video very soon, so make sure to come back for it.
