I just ordered the Helio Ocean and never even considered the iPhone. They touted the iPhone like it was new technology and yet my Windows Mobile PDA (Qtek 9100) does much more than the iPhone.

I still prefer my Windows Mobile PDA because of Microsoft Office and all the other things I have downloaded; but the Helio Ocean and unlimited plan trumps everything else out there.

It seems like iPhone users are very upset with the attention Helio is getting. Had I been sucked into the iPhone I would be upset to.

I have an ocean phone with Helio. I love the phone. Most of all because I didn’t go out and pay $600.00 like some of you suckers did. I only paid $150.00 for my Ocean. Old Stevie from Apple really pulled one on you guys, but guys, once a sucker always a sucker and you guys will be back for more. Now why do I love my Helio Ocean phone? Most of all how much it coste me per month to use it. $99.00 plus TAX and that is an unlimited plan talk time and data is included. Oh my Ocean works as an I Pod also that is really all the I Phone is, isn’t it

This device looks ugly, and the screen doesn’t look that great. The first generation is lacking in some features, and the edge network sucks but I’m usually in range of a wifi when I want to view You Tube videos on the iPhone… even when away from my house. The edge network is fast enough for all of the other features, but admittedly would greatly benefit from 3g.

I am sure the 2nd generation iPhone will blow away not only the competition but even the 1st generation iPhone.

The advantage of iPhone is not any one feature, but it’s unique bundle of features … as I’ve been saying since 1979 … http://paullevinson.blogspot.com/2007/06/iphone-arrives.html

Why would apple need to respond to this? Despite what we geeks may think is cool, it hasn’t been shown that people will pay much for features such as being able to upload to utube, or myspace. Remember 500,000+ people bought an iphone in the first 3 days… how many Ocean’s has Helio sold so far?
