  • sidekick da best

  • to correct you Sprint use to own but now Virgin mobile owns Helio idk why they transfer over companys.

  • Sprint just bought Virgin Mobile, which had earlier bought Helio.

    Expect to see better phones pop up this year on Virgin Mobile.

  • sweet im currently with virgin mobile so this rox xD

  • When you use aim on the helio does it show your whole buddy list like the sidekick does?

  • funny this review kim kardashian had the helio and sidekick 3 back in keeping up with the kardashiana

  • hey chillafrilla!

  • its virgin mobile that merged with helio... not verison.....HELIO ALL THE WAY!!!!

  • Dude.. excellent review.

  • At what age are you too old for a side kick?

  • sidekicks would get annoying if u want to text alot bc u have to keep flipping it. it would be cool for like a week than it would be annoying. plus its huge

  • I was at a movie the other day and a bunch of pre teen girls were sitting a few rows infront of me and kept on flipping out their sidekicks and texting furiously. A man who was sitting closer to them than I was finally yelled "Put those damn things away and watch the movie!" It was awesome, and the pre teens didn't dare bring them back out.

  • fck sidekick

    helio forever

  • The ocean also has great support, its easy to work around and has access to Helio Player.

    Helio partnered with virgin mobile, and has somewhat of a small service range (i never loose calls but often dont have service where other services may). The phone its self is very easy to learn and work around, its set up so you can get through all the options as speedily as possible. It has loud speakers, you can send your own free ringtones to yourself (through a small but fairly simple process).

  • fuck helio!

    sidek3ck all the way dudes!

  • i get the helio because all my friends have the sidk3 and iphone!

  • helio is partners with virgin mobile

  • Sidekick Is WAYYY Better !

    The Helio Looks Like Shit

    =D

    No Offense Though

  • He's DEF right though, nothing more obnoxious than a million teen kiddies flipping their phones open during a movie.

  • I would choose the sidekick because i love the screen

  • helio is co-owned by earth link and sk telecom. Virgina mobile took over the company as main provider and they use sprint's network for data. so basically it's virgin mobile + sprint.

  • im going to get a sidekick 3 for 89.99

  • i think the ocean is better than the iphone the iphone is really exspensive and a lot of my friends are returning theres.

  • lmao this kids voice keeps cracking......

  • the sidekick looks lik a freakin gameboy

  • the helio is awesome ofcouse it will win

  • can you use the helio ocean in an att service?

    and does it have a sim card ?

  • Im getting the ocean 2

  • in getin a ocean

  • i always liked the sidekick but to me its kinda an ahead of its time/flashy type phone and cost just as much if not more than a phone that does better but once again i like it and i pick it over any cell phone

  • i love the sidekick a friend is going to bring me one to peru

  • Virgin Mobile bought Helio from sprint since this video was made so some things have changed

  • Can you put themes on the sidekick 3?

    Like, does it come with themes??

  • no theres a website 4 its called sk3themes(dot)com

  • yes you can put some on there

  • please do the helio ocean vs. another helio phone like the fin or something!

  • why??? the helio ocean will win anyway...

  • damn, a lotta you guys take this "phone battle" very personally. lol.

  • sidekick rox

  • for the helio u have to pay for roaming everywhere you go thats why i didnt buy so basically u can be spending hundrends of dollars just being like on a plane or boat

  • fuck u get a life

  • why does it matter??? sidekick lx (08or 09 ...or even just the basic lx) just kicks the Oceans ass! maybe the ocean wins against the sidekick 3 but is raped by the Lx . but it is just my opinion.

  • well the ocean is 2 years old the a new phone is going to be better its new duh

  • The sidekick sucks. Helio ocean was a great phone for its time. It is still better than most. If it had a touch screen people would have nothing to complain about. The ocean has way more features and it is a whole lot cheaper to use the features. Ocean wins hands down.

  • okay people are saying that the sidekick sucks.. if thats true then why do people still have the sidekick 3 and the new sidekick lx just came out.. sidekick is way better.

  • i still have a sidekick 3 and I am in love with it!

  • one thing about ocean that sucks is that it lags

    and helio doesnt have that good of a service

  • sidekick sukks its 2 big to b called a fone its yk a frikken game boy

    the only thing i lyk 4m it is the fav 5

    helio wins

  • u act like the helio is better haha wat a joke, sidekick wins

  • did you even watch the video

  • I like the Heilo because I can get it prepaid w/ no contracts, and it's only $79 for the Heilo 1.

  • helio is not with sprint its with virgin mobile

  • but they use Sprints TOWERS

  • the sidekick wins

  • SIDKEICK WINS

  • sidekick wins

  • The ocean is much better than the sidekick. I love my ocean. Also the ocean is postpaid not prepaid.

  • sidekick is MUCH better

  • HEY IS THE OCEAN PREPAID 2

  • how is it obnochtious to flip the sidekick out and call on it coz its not i do it and it is obmochtious to do it in where i live (irelnad where no one has ever seen one) i just do it 2 piss them off

  • bitch the helio is a prepaid so shut the fuck up o nd xzavier you did a guhdd job 2

  • no it isnt NumbNuts.

    go to their website it says exactly that IT IS NOT A PRE PAID PHONE

  • haha yah now the question is helio ocean or sidekick 2008

  • no its helio ocean2 or sidekick 2009

  • i got the helio its awsome

  • Haha there just lazy I think its pretty cheap xD haha funny =)

    Thanks this was awesome! I'm going to buy the sidekick 3 in 2 weeks!! =D maybe one if im lucky! Im so excited!

    Great job!

  • That was great... very professional

  • yo bro sidekick3 is alot beter.

  • helio has a small keyboard which is good for small fingers and sidekick take better pics but i pick both

  • Just to let you all know, I am having my first ever Giveaway on my main account (ChillaFrilla)! Be sure to check it out for a chance to win an awesome prize! Link in the description!

  • HELIO IS NOW PART OF VIRGIN MOBILE MEANING IT'S PRE-PAID NOW... SINCE THE HELIO OCEAN HAS BEEN OUT FOR SOMETIME NOW THE PRICE HAS DROPPED BIG TIME, THROUGH VIRGIN MOBILE YOU CAN NOW BUY IT FOR $79 DOLLARS AND THE HELIO OCEAN 2 IS $149 DOLLARS!!! & THERE IS NO CONTRACTS OR ANYTHING...

    Thanks again for doing this review,

    -mariioTV

  • This is untrue. Helio is now owned by Virgin Mobile, but the Helio phones are not prepaid. The prices that you are quoting are with a 2 year contract.

  • do you have proof or evidence?

  • im getting the

    sidekick o8................hopefully

    hehehe

  • helio is korean:D:D

    but this guy is like hates the sidekick

    but the good thing about sidekick is the simcard

    i want a ocean but no simcard so i cant get it:(

  • Is your real name gene?

  • rofl obviously he likes the ocean better and its not a fair comparison compare the ocean to the LX or the 2008? now who wins

  • DUDE THE OCEAN IS AWESOME..I AGREE WITH EVERYTHING U SAID...NOW THE OCEAN 2 IS OUT..U SHOULD CHECK IT OUT DUDE...

    --

    Sent from my Helio Ocean

  • admit it...he likes the ocean more than the sidekick 3

  • I prefer the Helio Ocean. Swivel is cool, but dual slider is awesome!

  • the helio ocean is better than the sidekick 3..... the sidekick 3 is a brick and it breaks so easily. i admit bobs adventure and the swivel screen completes my life, but the helio is easier to use.

  • There IS more space on SK3 keyboard, idiot. Look at the friggin area it's kept in. Not to mention the Ocean has a giant phone hovering over it making it hard to reach the top keys. Sorry. SK3 is WAYYYYY better than Ocean.

  • It's up to the user, what ever suits you is better.

  • trust me the sk3 has a much better keyboard than the ocean

  • RED BULL!

  • how do you tern that noise off that comes on when it slides open

  • turn off slider tone when u go 2 right settings?

  • helio sucks nuts, and can eat a load of shit. sidekick 3 is wayyyyyyyyy better

    Even the plan is better than the sidekick's!!!!!

  • sidekick 3 roxx idk anybody tht doesnt like the sk3 its roxx and the helios look realy gangster type phone and nobody lyks a getto ganster phone really

  • Actually its sprint and verizon so you have both providers. The helio ocean is an epic win. i would like to see all of you guys who say the sidekick is better back that up with a reason other than it looks ghetto. Please. Respond to this.

  • all sidekicks are better than that ocean!

  • Helio ocean is mad hawt love that phone i got it nd my freind has a Sidekick..sidekick sucks lyk seriously soo chill sidekick lovers, helio lovers...rock on!

  • just say your a sidekick hatter its not that hard to say ,but inside you know that the sidekick beats the helio

  • no wayyy sidekick 3 kicks your ghetto ass

  • yea they addded a family plan to the helio ocean but they have a sidekick rate plan for the sk3

  • sidekick 3'z r better helios look lik a ghetto piece of shyt

  • Lol u talk lyk one of those computer geeks on tv

  • HELIO IS THE UGLIEST PHONE EVER

  • Helio??? are so ugly . sidekicks design are better and sexier!

  • i got the sidekick 3 commin from ebay for $278

  • the helio phone... sucksssss asssssss mine had way too many faults.... i had a static screen once... and the buttions didnt work... and it was just gay sooooooo eyah

  • Just to correct, Helio© is currently owned and operated by Virgin Mobile©. However, when the Virgin Mobile© towers are down, they revert to the Sprint© towers. Just to make a clarification.

  • THe Helio Ocean Suksz Ass SideKicksz R Way Better

  • lurrrnnn to spell lyke yous is edgucatid you sownd lyke a retarrt333d scumb@g.

  • dont call ur father retarded dum fuck

  • lol are you sure? did you even understand anything he was saying? you seem pretty illiterate by the way you type... like i dontzxx knowzss ifs thiszx makezzs yousz cools or somthingzs but itzx reallyzx gaysz

  • haha ur funny faget get a life we all kno the sk3 isz bettah dat helio is all for u white boys dat all have crappy verizon fones

  • Helio isn't with Verizon... you're a fucking idiot.

  • can i still buy the sidekick 3?it dosent look like tmobiles selling it anymore. and how much is the oceans plan a month?and does it come with aim?

  • T-Mobile doesn't offer it anymore because that phone came out in 2005, and it was replaced by the newer Sidekick LX. Why would you want the Sidekick 3 anyway?

    The plans for the Ocean vary, you can check them out on Helio's website at helio(dot)com. Yes, both the Ocean and the Sidekick 3 and LX come with AIM.

  • ok but i want a sidekick id, and i want the $30 a month plan which is the individual basic, does aim come with that?Or do i need to buy the Sidekick Unlimited Web + 400 Messages?which is an extra $25 a month

  • nice

  • dood you are comparing it to the older sidekick! sidekick LX was out by the time you had this video...the sidekick 08 is so sweet as well....

    your pretty biased in this video...

    helo just merged with sprint! worst phone company ever among all the companies!

  • Actually you are wrong. The LX was released on October 24, 2007 if you even cared to watch my LX Unboxing and Introduction, and this video was made in September. Get your facts right before you make a statement.

  • no. metro pcs sucks.

  • sony ericsson w580i pwns!!! XD

  • Sounds like your Sidekick Racist lol.

    I like the Sidekicks better, much more organized than the Helio.

  • me 2 helio ocean iz gonna be better im getting the helio ocean on the nov 24 n den next year im gettin helio ocean 2

  • I heard that they are making an Ocean 2 and adding more features and it's going to be with Virgin Mobile

  • Virgin Mobile bought out Helio, i havnt heard anything about an Ocean threw Virgin Mobile, but i hope your right.

  • do ur research helio is SK telecom with partnership with Earthlink and recently they sold it to Virgin moblie

  • your rich and helio is the best

  • and litoslsmyname he is right the helio ocean is the best and fuck hellonwheels999s fucking story he is fucking lying because i have helio ocean

  • The Helio Phone kinda remids me of an LG RUMUR

    but i like phones with full key boards

    like mine

    i have a BlackBerry curve

    ;)

  • you can close the sidekick screen after calling smart one

  • I had a helio ocean for a good year. its a great phone to have in tell it brake on you.i called helio to see if i can get it fixed.they said no cuz my warrenty has exspired 2 weeks ago. i still one more year on the contract with them. the only way they will fix my phone is if i singed a anouther 2 year contract with them.i think that is some bullshit because there contract last longer then cell phone do. i am telling every to NOT BUY A HELIO PHONE TRUST ME ON THIS.

    p.s. thats my story

  • can we use helio ocean as a prepaid phone for cingular??

  • no you cant sorry. helio is with its own company and its not merged with at&t so you cant do that

  • this vid seems a lil biased

  • i dint want to get with a new company because i was with ampd mobile and thy went belly up

  • well i like the sidekick alot better .

  • i really wanted to know, i have a choice between a sidekick 3 or sidekick lx and i want to know which ones bigger i want the smaller one because im going to put it in my pockets i know the lx is overall better. all i really do is text. Which one should i get???

  • lx its lighter to

  • I heard this thing doesn't work in Canada or anything like that, apparantley its hard to unlock. but if it was unlocked, would it work?

  • Helio, definitely.

    I'm glad Helio merged with Virgin Mobile.

    They're gonna offer the Ocean 2 on VM.

    :'D

  • Is Helio with Cricket,Virgin mobile or with who?

    =(( I'm getting one in a week.But,I don't know who they are with

  • Helio has merged with Virgin Mobile.

    They're in the process of offering more 3G phones on VM.

    In 2009 Virgin Mobile is supposed to release the Ocean 2 on their network and plans for $100.

    You're better off waiting until '09.
