Apple iPhone vs. Helio Ocean
« on: June 15, 2007, 05:28:56 PM »
OK, so we all know about the new "smartphones" coming out, if not, here is some info:


Helio Ocean
http://www.helio.com/page?p=devices_ocean_static


Apple iPhone
http://www.apple.com/iphone/


Which one do you want the most? Personally for me, I think the iPhone is just overkill, and blatant "let's see what the fanboys WON'T buy" marketing. It's also VERY crippled. At least you can watch Youtube on it, but is that really such a buying point?  :-k Also, I'd be SO worried about that huge-ass touchscreen getting broken.

However, the Helio Ocean is EXTREMELY badass. Dual-keypads, awesome sleekness and blackness, the immediate search engine for the web, great stuff.


What do YOU think?



Oh and btw, THE HELIO OCEAN SUPPORTS .MOD PLAYBACK.  8)

I'd probably get the iphone, but since I am stuck in a contract with sprint I won't. Which service provider will the ocean be launching with? I might end up with that one.

I don't think it's carrier-crippled. OK, so I lied. Helio is the provider. They have a zip-code thing, so you can see if you're covered or not.

I hate cellular telephones.

Adding PCE console specific layer on top of that, makes for an interesting challenge (no, not a reference to Ys II).

All these stupid cell phone fags getting Alzheimers in their 30's are going to be hilarious.  You know the ones I'm talking about, the queers that walk around with those f*cking stupid blue tooth ear thingies on talking 24/7, I can't wait until they all get brain cancer.

Why the hell would anyone want a phone that is "smart"?  I bet it has no real intelligence.   I think having a smart phone is like saying "Hey look at me!!!  I'm a trendy homosexual!!"

I have a cell phone only because I have to (for work). I hate the f*cking things. It gives random people a way to bug me any time they want. 90% of the time I don't care what they have to say.

Last year I had this chick working for me who had one of those damn bluetooth ear things in her ear 100% of the time she was working (and probably not working, too). She was constantly talking to her friends. And I mean CONSTANTLY. I fired her annoying ass. People that walk around with those things are soooooo f*cking lame.

You can rest assured I won't be buying any kind of "smart phone" until my current phone calls it a day and "smart phones" are the only option left available as a replacement.

I will not be getting a new cellphone. I have a SHIT phone already, and it is good enough. :P The last thing I'm doing is getting an expensive phone, from Apple no less. I want a sturdy phone, an Iphone would literally shatter the first day I got it would I ever get one. :P
