Helio Ocean is using under EV-DO, that's 3G.
Helio | Ocean, Heat & Drift cell phones: Camera, MySpace Mobile, 3G Internet, 3D Gaming & more
yea i saw that at Fry's store and I played it. It is very light and nice feeling...
Helio is a Mobile Virtual Network Operator that uses Sprint Nextel's 3G network to handle its voice and data service.
I am not sure if Helio provides a special data plan for deaf subscribers like Sprint & ATT.
Deafclimber, it would be cool if Fry's Electronics could speed up with expanding into Atlanta/Buckhead and Cobb County.
2PAC, is this skick killer? Many people buy this????

It a cool looking device but you will have to use Helio Network so it seem to be a small network which is mainly cities based network. It probably going to be X'ed like sidekick outside of cities 8-P
At&T is suppose to come out with a device similar to Helio Ocean in August for thier network called DUO which will run WM6 on it and you should be able to get TAP plan on DUO.

No, Helio is under Sprint coverage.
Look at deafclimber's comment
Helio Coverage Map | Helio.com - Mobile Devices, Phones, and Wireless Service for You
Here the coverage map ..
Not many high speed 3G in USA for helio .. maybe look like about only 45 or so locations all in major cities and slow older 1xrtt data is very limited in USA.
but Voice coveage "Blab Away" pretty much whole USA same all other network cell phone with is no good for us deafies =P however SMS txt message should work fine on same voice coverage.

2PAC, I don't think this suit on you. Because I observe you, you like HIGH TECH DEVICE like iphone, treo, on and on. If you get iphone, you would be FIRST iPHONE DEAF across USA!Yup but I'm thinking about it.

via 8700g~I have an Ocean, but I'm not deaf. I bought it to try it out for communicating with my boyfriend who is deaf. Personally, I love the phone, and I use it for data more than talking. The communication clients on it are fast, and I love the interface of it. Right now, they have a-la-carte services available if you just want to use it for data, or so forth, but I think it would be more costly that way. The plans are a bit pricey for my income (college student working part time internship), so I wish they would release something like 250 minutes/unlimited data--or of course data only plans. Until they do something like that, its just not worth spending 65 before taxes if you will just be using the data.
Helio uses the Sprint network mainly, and Verizon for roaming...I wish there was more 3G available, luckily I live close enough to Charlotte that my town is still within range.
