Back from the dead: Helio Ocean 2
Helio fans have had enough torment for the last year. First, there were rumors that the company was going to go completely bankrupt. Then there were mixed feelings about the MVNO being acquired by another MVNO – Virgin Mobile. To top it all off, die-hard Ocean lovers kept getting their hopes and dreams shot down every couple of months with news of the Ocean 2, only to have it never arrive. Well, we hate to put you on that rollercoaster of emotions but a pretty solid source put word out that Helio is planning to put out the Ocean 2 as early as next month. But with the iPhone, Bold, Curve 8900, Storm, Palm Pre, G1, and HTC Fuze, how well will the Ocean 2 keep up? Not many even know about the original Ocean let alone rumors of a second iteration coming out. As much as we loved the first Ocean, we’re afraid this might be too little too late – even for some of the biggest Helio fans. No word on pricing as of yet, but with the original Ocean’s $299, don’t expect anything too tempting.
This is really neat. I have the Ocean and am waiting for an upgrade. The services and features are great but I still can’t wait. Boy Genius, can you get me some specs or OS pics?
Thanks!
A little bit too late.

maikel, your a moron. what does that picture have to do with this article?
Good, I’m G1 person, but I don’t think HTC can keep it up without some stiff competition.
i dont have helio but to me it seems to rival any phone out there and im not a htc fan or a g1 fan but i think helio’s service is alot better and the fact they roam off sprint and vzw’s towers so as my friend verizon guy would say “we’re good”. i can hardly see why anyone would or could hate on a good provider like that.
