And I’m just about to buy my Ocean. Now I can’t decide if I should wait for the Ocean II, or go ahead and dive in. I want my QWERTY phone so badly and I love the Helio Ocean as it is now. I don’t really care for the Touch Screen revolution. Just means that it’s easier to break because you’re always touching it in my opinion. I was trying to call K&M tonight to order my phone. Are they closed on Saturdays?

forgot to mention that R&D has a unit
similar to the samsung u740 ‘alias’.

this is going to be the new flip or clamshell
replacement for the fin. not sure how far
they are in the design process. but the guts
will be like the u740.

rumors are true.
virgin & helio has to decide who will run the company.
helio will probably take over the virgin name.
earthlink still wants a piece of the action.
currently, everything is being put on hold.

one more thing…at least the for the Ocean II
will either be introduce in the next 2-3 months.
it will be thinner, touch screen, still rounded corners,
still dual slider, pantech will manufacture the units,
& it will be also alittle wider for a larger screen.
[colors are still being decided, but don't hold your breath]

R&D are looking to redesign the kickflip.

Heat will probably stick around, but will have colors:
blue, gold, red, & maybe silver or something dual tone.

this under consideration…korean board members are
real conservative & not pushing for colors, however
american complaints are the lack of color to attract female clients.

i was inform of this from the los angeles office insider.
i just needed to give an informed report on the situation
of helio without someone making up rumors.

hmm i guess i shouldnt of said negotations, should of said “prelimanary talks”. Its sad that one day SK denies that there were no sort of talks with virgin and any talks about a merger were “groundless”. Pretty pathetic I say. I have been around the block with these merger deals and “comitments” to the company. Seen MVNO’s come n go. I have sir, invested way to much emotion and money into this company. I have spent more than 50,000 dollars into this company in the last 6 months for them to Deny any sort of talks of a buy out or merger then come to find out they were lying. HMMM TJ you need to learn a little something something about true comitment to your company, not lie about it. Which Sk did.

It’s how I eat, its how I bathe, it’s how I sleep. Helio puts food on my table, i cant say the same for you and your unconnected interest other than being into “gadgets” but i’m on that leven and then some. So for me not to be interested professionaly and a bit emotionally would make me a crap employee.

omg, it’s not even “negotiations” for anything, it’s just two companies talking about working together. So, Mr. Kevin McBride - you were wrong. You stomped all over this site yesterday trying to make it seem like you’re the ultimate insider with top level information when your constant lack of professionalism betrays you at every turn.
