The new Helio Ocean phone has been getting good reviews from multiple sites....don't know about the service.
myself I just signed up with Cingular/ATT for 2 years...I hate contracts, and have not had a cell phone for 7 years now, but for less then $60 dollars I got a 2GB MicroSD card, Motorola brand car charger, and the Razr v3xx from Amazon.com.
Yeah the Ocean is supposed to be release Spring 07..not sure what the cost will be yet but I think I'm going to get it. The stuff they include in their service is awesome. For $65/month I get 500 peak time minutes (that's enough for me) plus free nights/weekend/nationwide minutes, unlimited text including pic and video, unlimited IM, unlimited myspace mobile, unlimited GPS through google maps, unlimited web surfing, unlimited file transfers, and 3G service.
That is TONS better service than what I'm getting from Cingular/ATT.
And the Ocean is a dual slider with a 2 megapixel with flash and 200mb of internal memory..that's impressive.
