From calls, messaging, search, entertainment and the speed of 3G, Ocean has it covered. Easy on the eyes with a flowing minimalist face and a soft-touch surface, the shape-shifting Ocean slides vertically to reveal a traditional alphanumeric keypad for comfortably making calls, sending quick texts or surfing the web, as well as horizontally, to reveal a separate full QWERTY keyboard suitable for heavy-duty messaging, web searches and full-screen landscape viewing of crisp images and video. Ocean answers the question of full keyboard for messaging speed or traditional keypad for voice without the compromise of a QWERTY on your cheek; finally, you can have it all.

With Ocean, your email, text messages, picture messages and Instant Messages are conveniently located all in one spot, and are just a touch away. Ocean's integrated messaging dashboard includes out-of-the-box built-in access to AOL® email and AOL® Instant Messenger™ (AIM®), Yahoo!® email and Yahoo!® Messenger, Windows Live™ Messenger, Windows Live™ Mail, Hotmail, Gmail™, EarthLink® email and Helio Mail. Ocean also supports push mail from Yahoo!, AOL, and MSN Hotmail. You can also wirelessly synchronize your Microsoft® Office Outlook® email, calendar and contacts from a Microsoft® Exchange Server with Mail for Microsoft Exchange.

Ocean's breakthrough Contact list seamlessly syncs with Yahoo!, AOL and Helio Mail address books, allowing you to find the quickest way to reach a friend and tell them where the fun is. Either pull up a Contact through Helio's unique UI or begin typing a name from Ocean's idle screen and Smart Dialer searches Ocean's address book and pulls up full contact information, complete with icons to show if a person is logged in to Yahoo!, AOL, and Windows Live Messenger™.

Now searching is easier and faster with Ocean's integrated search, accessible click-free from the device's idle screen. No need to open a search box, just begin typing on Ocean's idle screen and the device automatically switches into search mode so you can find a contact, message or quickly search the web. Ocean also features a unique HTML browser so you can choose between favorite Helio WAP sites or surf any web site on the net. Ocean's web browser also offers a mini map feature so you can navigate where you are on a web page and zoom in and out for easier reading.
