Teen Mobiles

The Helio Ocean has came out with a sequel to original that came out nearly two years ago. It still has its dual slide design, Bluetooth, 3G, GPS and well-integrated messaging app challenging phones on both sides of the feature.But can it compete with the new samrt phones in 2009.

The phone mite look the same but it's offering a lot more than an MySpace app to lure in users this time, with 2GB of internal storage, touch controls and a slew of software tweaks. Its sure a whole lot better than the first. It has a better media player that allows you to play music in the background as you text, browse, run that opera. It also pauses the music if you play a youtube video and resume when the video is finished.

As for app side of things there's nothing thats really just exciting, although Buddy Beacon 2.0 proved much more useful, thanks to a new Facebook and the free WHERE widgets offering up anything from ticket info to weather forecasts or local gas prices. TellMe looks to be subscription only, however in our testing its voice recognition proved top notch and easy to use, giving the same information you'd find in the Google Maps app, but with just one button press and a word into the mic required.
YouTube, MySpace, File Viewer and the Opera browser are also back, Helping to shift things in favor of the Ocean 2 are Helio's exclusive services, while Helio Connect doesn't replace a full fledged app, one tough of the flame button brings customized news and social network access from the main menu, while Helio Up makes sure your pictures and movies go straight to Flickr / Facebook / YouTube or any combination desired. But, All in all, this is a good media phone , if thats all you're looking for in a phone.

Comment and tell me what you think about this phone

Thanks
