Manufactured by Pantech, the Helio Ocean 2 retains the best of the original Ocean and brings us a number of exciting enhanced features. Comes equipped with a wide display, an optical sensor touch pad, a tabbed browser and more, it is a feature-rich handset that pleases Ocean fans and tech-savvy youths.Same as its predecessor, the Ocean 2 has a fun dual-slide design, which reveals a 12-button numeric keypad when slid vertically, and shows a full QWERTY keyboard when slid horizontally. Its 2.6" OVGA display, supporting 262,000 colors and 240x320-pixel resolution, will change orientation between portrait and landscape modes automatically. Measuring 4.65" long by 2.28" wide by 0.81" thick and weighing 5.89 ounces, it is rather large and hefty, but its oval shape makes it feel good holding in hand.
To simplify web browsing, the 3G dual slider sports with a touch-sensitive navigational pad, which allows you to scroll pages or move the cursor by swiping the pad with your finger. The tabbed full HTML browser includes a new feature called Helio Connect, offering one-click access to the popular social networking sites, such as Facebook, MySpace, Twitter and Flickr. A text-only mode is also supported for the browser to load page content faster.
The messaging ability of the Ocean 2 is another highlight of the device. Other SMS and MMS messaging, it supports Ultimate Inbox instant messaging using Yahoo, AIM, Windows Live and even Google Talk. On top of that, users can enjoy plenty of email options, including Yahoo, AOL, MSN Hotmail, Gmail, Helio Mail, EarthLink Mail, plus access to your personal POP3 or IMAP email accounts. It also comes with Microsoft Exchange Active Sync support for corporate email, contacts and calendar entries.
In addition, GPS function is on-board to provide different location-based features. You will find Google Map for turn-by-turn directions, traffic information and more. There is also a GPS-based search with voice recognition named TellMe, a friend finder called Buddy Beacon, and the Garmin Mobile GPS application for moving turn-by-turn directions.
The Ocean 2 delivers great multimedia features as well. With a built-in music player, you can play audio files in WMA, MP3 and ACC formats. You can also buy and download music and videos from the Helio Music store. Its 2-megapixel camera does not have auto-focus or a flash, but after taking a photo, you can easily upload it to sharing websites using HelioUp and add tags or descriptions to the photo. The handset boasts 512MB internal memory and allows storage expansion up to 4GB via its microSD card slot. Music lovers will also love the included 3.5mm headset and stereo Bluetooth support.
Packed with features offering user-friendly web navigation, integrated text messaging and great multimedia experience, the Helio Ocean 2 is definitely a fun and powerful device that challenges both feature phones and smartphones in the market.
