Helio Ocean now $99 after rebate, Ocean 2 around the corner?

As Virgin Mobile, Helio, and SK Telecom debate their collective futures behind closed doors, life goes on for Helio's customers and potential customers. It's been a little while since the scrappy MVNO's released any hardware, let alone a blockbuster like the Ocean; we'd reckon they're about due to wow us, and a new offer on the original Ocean might just foretell that new stuff's around the corner. After rebate, the Ocean now goes out the door for a totally reasonable $99 -- which might actually end up seeming like the most unreasonable $99 you've ever spent if the rumored Ocean 2 gets official soon. We're just sayin'.

I talked to a guy at a kiosk and he mentioned that there was infact an "ocean 2" comming late this year.
