Helio Cell Phones

The Bottom Line: If you can get over its size, the Helio Ocean 2 is a great feature-rich handheld with enough Web-friendly goodies to please both tech-savvy hipsters and mobile professionals.

Specs: CDMA 800/1900, Up to 323 min, With digital camera / digital player, 6.3 oz

The Bottom Line: Helio is a young mobile virtual network operator that offers high-end handsets and services.

The Bottom Line: The Helio Music store is great if you're an existing Helio customer who needs to get a music fix while on the go. However, we suggest waiting a little while longer for Helio to really ramp up its service with a full-fledged PC store.

The Bottom Line: The attractive Helio Kickflip offers high-end features, such as a 2-megapixel camera and EV-DO support, and is the better phone of the carrier's two offerings. Unfortunately, it's plagued by the lack of Bluetooth and instant-messaging options; plus, the call quality is subpar.
