FCC Reveals Helio Ocean 2 As The Pantech OZII Dual-Slider
The FCC today added the Pantech OZII Dual Slider handset to its database, complete with Helio branding. This will likely become the Ocean 2 upon its release by Virgin Mobile.
As we previously reported, Virgin Mobile’s acquisition of the Helio has resulted in a continuation of the Helio brand. Virgin Mobile will position the Ocean 2 as its highest-end phone, in an effort to migrate customers from low-revenue Virgin Mobile phones, to high-end Helio phones and plans. Virgin Mobile also is using their new Shuffle phone, to encourage migration by adding Helio features such as Buddy Beacon to mid-range Virgin Mobile phones.
Some prominent features include a QVGA display, both a numeric keypad as well as a full QWERTY keypad, EVDO, stereo Bluetooth, microSD slot, full HTML web-browsing capabilities, and A2DP support.

Any better pics available…that basically looks just a little slicker than the old one. Also what does it feature that the old one doesnt? To me it looks just like the old one only a bit better. Sooooooo what would want to make me want to buy this phone instead of the iphone?
