Golla Mobile Bags Review & Contest

Tuesday, June 10th, 2008

If you haven’t noticed, we’ve kinda been going review crazy lately. Well, not exactly crazy, but more reviews than we’ve done in a long time (Oops, we’ve been slacking!). Shortly after the Helio Ocean skins were added into the Helio Store - Order Accessories page, they added in these odd things called Golla bags. Turns out, they are actually pretty cool. Helio has been nice enough again to send us some to review. And since I can’t wear them all at the same time, (I could, but it would look kinda weird) we are going to hold a contest to get rid of them.

  • Garmin Car Mount Review

    Thursday, June 5th, 2008

    Ocean all suctioned.

    Oh boy, was this a fun one to review. Helio sells this “Garmin Car Cradle” from their online store (under the “Order Accessories” link), and I had no clue what it really did or was even like until Helio graciously sent us one. When I first opened the box it came in, I was sort of wishing that I still had no idea what it did or was like, as it doesn’t come with an instruction manual, and all these scary pieces were just taunting me in the bags. Without an instruction manual, it was a doozy trying to assemble it. After finally getting it all together and figuring how to make it suction to the window, it actually isn’t half bad. Overall, it’s very useful, especially since you can use it with a multitude of devices.

    Ocean Skin Contest Winners

    Saturday, May 31st, 2008

    Prizes

    Just a week ago, we reviewed and held a contest for the new Helio Ocean skins. We had a great turnout for the contest, most likely because it involved one simple comment (You lazies). We’ve selected the winners at random from the comments on that post, and here they are!

  • Thanks for participating, and don’t be jealous or disappointed if you didn’t win! We love giving stuff away, and I’m sure you guys love getting the stuff we give away! If you missed the review, you can read/look at it again here.

    We also received many messages about where to purchase the skins from, and it is kind of hidden away (*wink wink nudge nudge Helio*). To purchase them, you just need to login to your account at https://selfcare.helio.com, and follow the link titled “Order Accessories“. Make sure your Ocean is the active device on your account, otherwise you won’t be able to view the skins for it. As well as having the Ocean as your current device, you will also need to be logged into the main line of your account if you have more than one line.

    Still having problems finding it? Click the following picture, it should expand, and look for the green arrows.

    Here it is.

    Helio Mysto Reviewed

    Wednesday, January 16th, 2008

    Well - The Mysto’s officially here. What do we think?

    We’ve actually been sitting on this review for a few days, hoping that any applications unique to Mysto (namely TellMe) might become available a few days prior to launch to give reviewers a chance to write’em into their reviews. No such luck.

    With Mysto launching later today, we’ve decided to go ahead and publish the review sans TellMe details. We’ll be amending the review in all the proper places once we’ve gotten a chance to play with any applications that launch this morning with Mysto. Update: We’ve been whispering sweet voice-recognized nothings to TellMe for the past day, and have updated the review with our experiences.

    Got an itching topic we didn’t cover in the review? Let us know in the comments of this page, we’ll try to clear it up.
