Possible iPhone Killer Revealed

by Joshua Fruhlinger on March 28, 2007 at 04:45 PM


Our friends over at Engadget got their hands on an early-model Ocean, a new smartphone soon to be offered by upstart wireless provider Helio. The reviewer offers up some product porn shots and some initial impressions, all of which look pretty darn impressive. As you can see, the Ocean sports a dual-slide design that reveals a full QWERTY keyboard that's designed to be much less-cramped than those found on the Treo or Blackberry. It also includes some nicely-integrated instant messaging applications along with built-in Exchange server synching for those of you who want to get your business email while on the road. It also includes a 2 megapixel camera and 200 megs of internal storage for those who love devices that do a little bit of everything. Expect it to show up this summer for around $300, just in time to be a cheap alternative to Apple's upcoming iPhone.
