Product Review: iPhone vs Helio Ocean
Well I just got my first new smart phone/pda. My main issue was being able to check my emails on the go. I started looking around and to my surprise there are not that many choices around.

The Helio phones are only availble in the US. I have checked out both the iPhone and Ocean phones and would like to do a general review and comparison.
