I plan to get the Ocean in a few months. Does anyone have it, and have anything to say about it? Is it a good phone? Any problems?

Posted by: TIM GALL

i have the phone and i love works great. my hotmail account pushes to the phone. and the duel slide is great. the apps that you can get on the phone are also top notch

just my opinon.

I got it. get one. you'll love it. Honestly I wouldn't want anything else. If batman had a phone, it'd be the ocean.

Ok guys stop talking about it. You're just making me want it more and more. Give me a few days, hopefully sometime this week.

You won't be disappointed. The customer service is great and the people are friendly...only downside are the hours you may call customer service. Since there aren't a gigantic amount of Helio customers atm, the phone lines aren't 24/7...yet. The best thing about Helio is the way they actually listen to their customers concerns. Just a few weeks ago they decided to charge users a monthly fee to gain access to what they called "video virus", which most importantly contained access to Mobile YouTube. After thousands of Helio customers emailed and phoned in our anger towards this new development, Helio has decided to stop charging for access to Mobile YouTube (and the other sites contained in video virus). How many other cellular companies have you seen or heard of doing something like this?

Cliffs: Helio rocks!!

put it this way, if there is a god - he made the ocean. ....thts ironic ha.

The ONLY PROBLEMS WITH THE OCEAN-

-you may only surf the net while listening to music

-Lag, its tends to lag now and then. but not too much. trust me.

-you will feel like you should have spent more money on it.

Posted by: Avery38944

Still no ocean. Because im 17 i dont have a credit card, so i cant really order it unless i get my parents to, which is my plan. I thought my dad would get it for me but he wants to "Check it out" first, and is hinting that he doesnt want me to get it. Yea nothing ever goes right for me. Now i just have to ask my mom when she gets back from vacation. She will be swayed and struck by the awesome family and friends deal. haha But no mater what, i WILL be getting it soon.

Im so impatient.

Only while listening to music? Typo?

I dont care about lag as long as it actually does what i want it to do. Plus its a step up in all possible ways compared to my current razr.

Posted by: Carlan600i

well, yea. the only thing you can do while your playing music is surf the net, this gets annoying because im always talking on aim and texting people and i always have to stop the music and exit the media player in order to read my msgs. that is a main problem of the ocean. the lag is mainly when ur in AIM. its no big deal tho.

I was in the same position as you, im still 17. i loved helio and i needed a job bad, i knew all about it, and i realized the helio kiosk in my mall was hiring. i talked to the owner for about 30 minutes and he ended up calling me a day later. I still work here (im here right now......) and it gave a great reason for my parents to let me use there credit in order to get helio. but good luck to you.

Ordered tonight. Ill get it probably next Friday (shipped to moms house and wont see her until then.) Will post from it hopefully then. Seeya

Posted by: Avery38944

Flight was cancelled thursday night and didnt get ocean until friday. Called for the port, yet to go all the way through. So far it has been amazing. Been using IM and what not and it is just awesome. Only problem so far is that i think the phone is locked, and the default 0000 code isnt working. Neither are several other ones you would think it is.

i love this phone man. the planner is great. pictures come out top notch. texting is cool because of the dual slider and the music and video player..awesome. i love it. the only thing i wish they would have done was allow texting while listening to music. im constantly emailing and txting i have to put my phone on airplaine mode to listen to my music. oh and the compatability for the 2gig mem card...sweet!

Posted by: Avery38944

Ok heres a little update everything is gret to me. Except i dont know about calls or texts because helio has taken 2 weeks to port my number. Thats the only bad thing that has happened so far

Posted by: hellfisher

First, my porting experience. two hours after i called to port from at&t to helio my old phone said "no service" (good) and my ocean would not work (bad). i waited 24 hours and called again. they gave me these instructions, as the ocean still thought the number that came on it was the correct number. after i followed the instructions and told the ocean what its correct number really was, it worked. Might help others, so here it is...

Dial

##43546#636#

this should take you to the service number directory

select edit

select edit 10 digit MDN

Enter in the number xxx-xxx-xxxx (number you want to port)

claim 1 sign (?who knows what this means---i hit the flame button)

enter 10 digit MSID

if there is a number in the MSID slot delete it and type in

618-306-7215 (i'm in a 618 area code---who knows what will work for others)

Helio CS is friendly, but worthless.
Their "live chat" link has never worked.
Setting up helio mail account online did not work twice, then did. Who knows what was going on.

So far, I can't get email to "push"---that is, notify me when I have new email. I set the phone to give an alert, but it does not (using helio mail).
Please respond if you know a fix for this.

Ocean is a battery eater---I haven't done much music or video, and no games, and it only lasts about 3 days.

has frozen a few times while surfing---r&r battery.

VERY cumbersome process to get your own ring tones or pics for use in contacts.

Posted by: Avery38944

I got tired of it and called and had the port canceled. They gave me a new number in like 2 seconds. So far everything is cool. Texting and calls are smooth. Everything seems fine now.
