The Friends of Helio promotion code H426008CGMBK sold me on the Ocean. This discount:
And I get free 2 day FedEx shipping. And there’s the awesome Helio Return Policy.
Yes, please. Mine will be here Monday.
**UPDATE** As of 01 August 2007 this promotion code no longer works **
Helio Ocean, Blackberry 8820, Sidekick 4, or HTC Mogul?
**UPDATE** Let’s add the Nokia E61i to the mix, shall we?
I’m leaning towards the Helio Ocean, it has everything I want except WiFi. Worried about it being a boutique wireless carrier (hello, Amp’d).
The Blackberry 8820 is perfect, but lacks a camera. I’m in love the trackball interface.
The Sidekick 4 has T-Mobile’s All-You-Can-Eat data only plan for only $29.99 a month, but no GPS *or* WiFi.
HTC has the best screen yet at 4″ but is missing GPS. Runs Windows Mobile 6, so that means it will have tons of apps to pirate download legally.
Sigh. Why can’t somebody make my perfect convergence device? All I want is:
I don’t care about music or videos, that’s what I have my 80 GB iPod for. I don’t even care to make voice calls on it, I’m quite happy with my little Nokia from Verizon. If I had to choose RIGHT NOW it would come down to the Helio Ocean or the HTC Mogul, since the Sidekick 4 and the Blackberry 8820 aren’t out yet.
Which one catches your eye?
Another sleepless night.
I looked out my kitchen window a few minutes ago and was struck by the convenience of my current living situation. Across the street I see:
And many others.
I live in a gated community with pool, gym, sauna, tennis courts, basketball courts, nice grassy lawn areas, and even a few pine trees. I guess it’s not so bad.
For now, anyway.
