Are we likely to see the Helio Ocean in Europe?
Does it suport GSM?
Would you buy it?

Don't think it looks that great tbh..
how come the Samsung E900 is listed as a helio
it's got 136MB internal mem, 1.3MP Camera and 3G whereas the one sold here has a 2MP Camera
and nil 3G and less memory

Helio is one of the US's first virtual operator networks, like Virgin is in the UK (ie it uses another major networks signal/coverage) and basically rebrands existing handsets with slight tweeks, or pays other manufacturers to make them for them.
In this case, yes it really is just an E900 with a new name, 3G and more memory, but a lower quality camera, god knows why tho.
More memory is hardly an issue, you can buy a 1GB card for under a tenner now, problem solved.
Besides, we've got the Z650i which is 3G, 126MB memory, mem card slot, 2.0MP camera, QVGA screen and touch sensitive controls.

Yup I had that Z650i.. was nice but one big prob..
i-Mode and MP3 ringtones don't go there 02 don't tell you this
I would have this newer revamped phone if it had the 2.0MP camera it is a nice colour is it available here? only seen the Black and Pink E9's..
there dead cheap aswell £99 on 02 PAYG
cheaper on other networks too

it's never going to be available over here, it's a network branded only device made for the US market for their US only network.
