Helio Ocean (Pantech PN-810)

Helio Ocean
Closed Angle Open Angle Upright Open Landscape

review

The best current social-networking device, the Helio Ocean, takes the T-Mobile Sidekick concept to the next level. It's about staying in touch through every possible means, and it integrates e-mail, IM, phone calls, MySpace, and blogging in a way we haven't seen on any other device. And if you're willing to trust that Helio will make the device more powerful over time, it's a fabulous communication tool.

Bottom Line

While the T-Mobile Sidekick stood still, Helio moved forward. The wireless service provider's new Ocean handset fits neatly between the juvenile Sidekick and the buttoned-down BlackBerry as an all-around multimedia handheld.

Pros

Dual-slider design for phone and QWERTY keypads. Flexible messaging software. Very good screen and camera.

Cons

Many features aren't quite here yet, but Helio promises they're coming. Quiet speakerphone.
