Helio Ocean

The Helio Ocean is a dual sliding phone that comes with a full numeric keypad and a full qwerty keypad as well. The dual sliding mechanism is very addicting, and when you pull it out in public everyone stops to stare. When I was shopping for a new phone, I looked at phones such as the iphone, sidekick 3, sidekick lx, and the enV and nothing came close to the complete package the Ocean provides. For a phone providing a full qwerty keyboard, it is very compact. It comes packed with 3G, the ultimate inbox (text, instant messaging, email), google maps and gps, a beautiful QGVA screen, and the buddy beacon to name a few. This phone can quiet simply do everything and does all of it fairly well. The battery life is very good considering what this phone is asked to do. Helio also provides the best youtube mobile experience and has their "all-in" plans so you are free to use as much data as you can manage. The weakness of this phone may by the laggy OS. The phone may be slow at times when you are typing quickly on the keyboard or may lag when going through the menus but it is not terrible by any means. Considering the price, performance, and looks, no other phone on the market comes close to what this phone can provide.
