Helio

 
So, we knew Helio cut 100 jobs yesterday to try and focus more on their top markets, which makes sense. What we didn’t know, however, is how this came about and what this meant for Helio as a company. We’ve obtained a memo from Sky Dayton, CEO of Helio, and you can take a look […]

The Helio Ocean is many things, but hackable? Never…at least not until now. An enterprising Ocean fanatic has managed to install the ubiquitous Opera Mini browser onto the device. Given the closed nature of the phone, this is quite a feat. There’s nothing terribly wrong with the built in Helio web client when it doesn’t […]

In between The Sopranos and Entourage, Fat Joe took some time out to give us a brief walk through of the Helio Ocean. We don’t dive too much into the tech side, but more the music, ringtones, and music videos. It’s pretty cool you can download full music videos right to the handset, and believe […]

Helio’s new Ocean handset has got people breaking through the glass! Well, almost. The demand for the phone is so high that the soon-to-be-opened New York City Helio store has begun selling the Ocean in addition to the other 4 flagship locations. They aren’t there all day, but if you catch them at the right […]

Helio has released the new hotness a bit earlier then expected. As of today you can find it online and in their 5 flagship stores (Santa Monica, Palo Alto, San Diego, Denver, or NYC). If you are looking for it today in other Helio retailers, you will be out of luck till later on in […]

Thanks to a tip we received, all signs are pointing to a May 21st release for the Helio Ocean. The general consensus around Helio shows a "general release on May 21st" and "limited/internal/partner release is 5-8 (days?) prior." The Helio Ocean is one of the most feature-packed handsets to come along, not sure if you heard of […]

Helio, the cell phone provider that brought us the first MySpace phone, now offers unlimited mobile-to-mobile calling for all of it’s "All In" members. The catch is that you pay for all of the services in their "All In" package, then M2M calls are now free. If you pick and choose your features a la […]

Take a look at Helio trying to whoop up on the iPhone. This Sony Mylo look-alike, does things you’ve always been wanting, but now it’s finally all in one device. It features a dual sliding mechanism, reveleaing a full QWERTY keyboard or a number pad, yet still is able to be slimmer and lighter then […]
