I's OK though, since I just got it, I can bring it back... although... I would be phone-less for a while... :(



Difficult choices, well, the ocean is priced $79 on the helio site... maybe it might cost like $129?

I bought the Pantech Duo, which if you're reading this you know it's the upscale version of the Ocean. I had to exchange/return the Duo 3 times because of the following:

1st phone - infamous faulty screen seal made it look like a lint and dust trap, delay in orientation from portrait to landscape, vise versa
2nd phone - the screen/slide would not stay locked in position, screen looked like a lint and dust trap
3rd phone - just stopped sending/receiving calls/texts, screen/slide was loose, screen looked like a lint a dust trap

FYI, I learned through this process that At&t has a not commonly disclosed policy that they will only replace a certain phone 3 times, then you have to go with something else. Actually, that's very reasonable because how often do you need to exchange a product?? However, a product SHOULD work, should it not??

So, you've been warned!! Purchase at your own risk!!]]>Jan 29th 2009 4:05PMhttp://mobile.engadget.com/2009/01/29/virgin-mobile-helio-ocean-2-unboxed-scheduled-for-launch-with-b/http://mobile.engadget.com/2009/01/29/virgin-mobile-helio-ocean-2-unboxed-scheduled-for-launch-with-b/
