context_page_description: The Helio Ocean was a dual slider Internet-enabled multimedia wireless mobile device sold by mobile virtual network operator wireless carrier Helio, and manufactured by Pantech Curitel. A distinctive design feature of the Ocean was its dual sliding mechanism — when slid down in the vertical position, it revealed a telephone keypad. When slid down in the horizontal position, it revealed a 35-key QWERTY keyboard.
  Since their acquisition by Sprint Nextel, Virgin Mobile USA terminated the wireless voice and data services of those customers who had an Helio Ocean or other Helio branded devices on May 25, 2010. Customers had until this date to transfer their wireless phone number to another wireless carrier without loss of service. A deactivated Helio Ocean can still be used as a digital camera, allowing images and video files to be downloaded via the included USB interface cable directly to a computer.
context_section_description: The Ocean was a prime example of a converged device. In addition, to telephony functions, the Ocean's functions included those of a camera phone and a portable media player. The Ocean device had several advanced features, such as stereo Bluetooth, a 2 megapixel camera with flash, an MPEG-4 video camera, 3G speed EV-DO network support, built-in GPS, MMS support, and a removable battery.  
  The Helio Ocean had a considerable number of features at the time of its release. Standard programs included a Web browser, a calculator, an alarm clock and a calendar. For communication, the device included caller ID (with support for photo caller ID), a speaker phone, a voice memo recorder, a record call feature, address book (with multiple online syncing abilities), T9 Text, and Korean character set support.
