Helio

So you got yourself a Helio Ocean, Helio Fin, or Helio Mysto, and you use the email all day long. All your various email services are push-enabled except for Gmail. Ain’t that a bitch? Well, Helio users woke up this morning to find that Gmail is finally push-enabled on all aforementioned devices. No crazy configuration […]

This one has been a long time in the making, as we’ve had access to an unofficial hacked build of Opera Mini on the Helio Ocean for quite some time now. Both Helio and Opera, responding to massive demand from the Ocean user community, have worked together to bring an official build to the masses. […]

Remember the newest Helio device in the pack? Helio has made good on their promise — the Helio Mysto is available at all usual Helio channels — and you no longer have to be jealous of that Korean friend of yours for getting it first. We went over the Mysto pretty well, but there were […]

You might have heard a little this and that about the Helio Mysto device. It’s a new handset making its way to Helio’s powered by SK Telecom network, and it will launch first in the Korean American Helio market tomorrow. If you’re not Korean, you’re going to have to wait for the general market release […]

One of our Helio peeps hit us the other day and briefly said, "We’re sending you the coolest application for the Helio Ocean everz!" No details, nothing! Well, a day later we got a download link for the app, and what did it turn out to be? Their new YouTube application! As you might know […]

Helio has just released the much anticipated document viewing application for their Ocean handset. It’s nothing revolutionary, but it does bring a clean and efficient way to view a wide variety of documents. It also evokes that "uh-this-shoulda-been-there-from-the-start" feeling. File Viewer supports "Microsoft Office documents (Word, Excel, PowerPoint), PDF, TXT, images (BMP, GIF, JPG, PNG, […]

Helio, everyone’s favorite MVNO, has just added one more notch on their why-you-should-switch-to-us belt. The company has just thrown a $50 price cut across the board. This brings the Ocean down to $199, the Fin to $79, and the Heat to $Free 99. Couple this with their current $99 unlimited calling, text, and data plan, […]

We’ll admit it — we are AIM fanatics over here. Yeah, we mingle with Yahoo, Google Talk, and MSN a bit, but we live and breathe AOL Instant Messenger. As technology evolves and networks get faster, the old black & white text IM just won’t do anymore, so we thought it would be nice to […]

Once again, SK Telecom has upped their investment in US MVNO carrier, Helio.

"SK Telecom’s investment is a ringing endorsement of Helio’s business strategy and long term growth potential. They’re one of the world’s most successful mobile companies and it recognizes the value of our business.
EarthLink remains an enthusiastic shareholder that will continue to contribute […]

Ready for the Helio Fin review? Hit it, after the jump!

We promised it was a comin’! Helio’s first clamshell device is called the Helio Fin, and we’re really liking it. While not the biggest fans of Samsung around here, the Helio UI is where the device really delivers! You can see Samsung hints here and there, but for the most part it is all Helio. […]

There were definitely mumblings about it across the internets but, it’s finally here. Helio is really trying to introduce the "thinnest clamshell" in the US, and it looks hot! Yeah, they even have H.O.T. on it, too. Basically, jam the Helio Ocean into a tiny flip phone and more or less you’ve got the new […]

In addition to the countless email and communication options present on the Helio Ocean already, Exchange will finally grace the device. Look forward to full contact, calendar and email sync with the new software. What should happen […]
