Virgin Mobile Acquires Helio (Mobility Site)

Sun, 29 Jun 2008 15:48:52 GMT

This went down last Friday and while it’s a huge deal, doesn’t affect me in anyway, so it went unnoticed for the most part on my radar. There has been a lot of info posted Friday and this weekend about this acquisition, so I will throw some links out there for those that care. If [...]

Rumor: Helio Ocean 2 Picture and Video Leaked (SlashPhone)

Wed, 25 Jun 2008 02:27:15 GMT

Apparently while Helio Ocean 2 is being tested, a couple of videos have been uploaded to YouTube. Unfortunately all of the videos has been deleted except one, and luckily there is still a clearer picture captured on the upcoming Helio Ocean 2. The new Helio Ocean 2 will still be a dual slider phone, with the [...]

Live image of the Helio Ocean 2 (Gadgets News)

Wed, 25 Jun 2008 00:05:20 GMT

A screenshot from a no longer available YouTube video is all that we have left, but its a pretty decent image, as far as leaked images are concerned. Sadly there were few details mentioned and what we can go by is really nothing more than this one screenshot. Keep in mind, that this is a follow up to the original Ocean, and we cannot really expect a dramatic overall change. However this one does appear...

Helio’s Ocean 2 spotted on multiple videos (Gadgets News)

Tue, 24 Jun 2008 23:14:30 GMT

by Darren Murph , posted Jun 24th 2008 at 11:18AM So there's really no telling what's up with Helio as an MVNO, but there's plenty going on with the Ocean 2 handset. Just yesterday we noticed a spy shot of the elusive mobile, but unfortunately, the video in which it was captured from had been conveniently removed. Today, however, a whole host of new vids have surfaced over at HelioCity, one of which...

Tue, 24 Jun 2008 12:18:55 GMT

The Ocean has been out for a while now and I, like many, have a tendency to go gooey eyed over it. I enjoy my texts, so something like the iPhone drives me crazy. I need that extra keyboard, well now some pictures have been leaked of the Ocean 2, giving us a new [...]

Helio Ocean 2 spotted in the flesh (IntoMobile)

Mon, 23 Jun 2008 22:40:35 GMT

With Helio downsizing its operations, possibly in preparation for a takeover from Virgin Mobile USA, there are probably mobs (in the loosest sense of the term) of Helio customers worried that they may never get to lay hands on the Helio Ocean's smarter, better, faster, stronger successor, the Helio Ocean 2. Alas, their worries might not [...]

Helio's Ocean 2 Spotted (UberPhones)

Mon, 23 Jun 2008 16:39:02 GMT

Helio might be going through a bad patch at the moment, especially with all the gloomy news of retail outlet closings and a takeover by Virgin, but that doesn’t seem to stop its Ocean 2 surfacing on the internet. This picture, which was taken from a YouTube video, shows that it looks very similar to its predecessor, though it obviously will have better specs. Hopefully this will come through all the...

Sneak Peek of Helio Ocean 2 (übergizmo)

Mon, 23 Jun 2008 16:32:46 GMT

Here's a leaked image of the Helio Ocean 2 that was caught in the wild, and as with all other spy/leaked images, there is no hint of pixel perfection here. It takes on a slider form factor and looks pretty much the same as the predecessor, although the specifications are clearly superior. The source material seemed to have been removed from the current reality, so the only thing to do is to wait and...

Helio Ocean 2 in the wild (CrunchGear)

Mon, 23 Jun 2008 16:30:02 GMT

It seems a video of the Ocean 2 was up last night, but that’s clearly not the case now since we can only provide a screen shot. Not a whole lot to glean from the Heliocity message board, but it appears the d-pad is touch sensitive and the “Helio” is backlit. Looking forward to this [...]

Filed under: Handsets , Pantech , Helio , MVNOs Sure, Helio is going through a bit of a rough patch right now, what with those retail outlet closings and nasty Virgin merger takeover, but as far as we can tell, the company is moving forward with the Ocean 2 . As you can see by the above shot -- nabbed from a YouTube video -- the slider looks eerily similar to its predecessor , though we know it's...

Will Helio be the next MVNO to join the dead pool? (Gadgets Future)

Mon, 23 Jun 2008 08:42:31 GMT

It is looking like Helio customers may soon be making their monthly payments to Virgin Mobile. Recent reports coming from a Helio “tipster” are claiming that we can expect to see some of their corporate stores and kiosks begin to close very soon. It has also been mentioned that Helio and Virgin were looking towards a merger, but it seems that Virgin has backed out of those talks and the merger will...

Helio shutting down retail stores and kiosks - another MVNO's death in the making? (Ring Nokia)

Fri, 20 Jun 2008 19:33:12 GMT

With SK Telecom's Helio MVNO talking to Virgin Mobile over possible merger or buy-out deals, it seems an odd move to actually shutdown much of Helio's operations throughout the US. But, we're hearing that the negotiations between Helio and Virgin Mobile aren't exactly making waves. Add to that the rumor that Virgin Mobile is planning to [...]
