US 3G operator Helio has just released its newest handset, Ocean. Another full-featured device for a still small service packed with advanced applications, Ocean is a dual slider, which means it slides one way to reveal a numerical dial pad, and another way to provide access to a full QWERTY keyboard for messaging.

Emphasizing Helio's half-Korean roots, the Ocean is built by Samsung, and the device sports a 2.4 inch VGA screen, 2 MP camera, 200MB of internal storage and Bluetooth stereo for wireless listening, among other features. It also features GPS and MySpace integration, two items present in other Helio handsets. The biggest difference is that it sports integration with a pretty wide range of messaging protocols, making it something of a smartphone for the young and hip.
