Helio keeps adding cool devices to its portfolio. Latest one is coming from Samsung and is called Fin.
Beside having the slim body, this blue-black colored clamshell hides lots of goodies under the hood. There’s the 3G EV-DO/1xRTT radio, 3 MP camera, built-in GPS, 2.3″ 262k color QVGA screen, voice dialing and standard microSD expansion slot. In terms of preinstalled apps, Fin truly shines — there’s an array of integrated Web 2.0 apps and services, we’ve previously seen with Ocean. For instance, Fin is coming with the RSS reader; unified access to email, text messages, and IM sessions; tight MySpace integration and HelioUP, which allows direct upload of (geo-tagged) photos to Flickr and upload of videos to YouTube. Impressive, huh?
But wait, there’s more! Helio Fin users can benefit from the device’s built-in GPS for free by using either Google Maps or Helio Buddy Beacon, or pay additional $2.99/day for Garmin Mobile navigation application and get verbal turn-by-turn directions!
The Fin measures 117×52x11.4 mm, weighs 95g and could be yours for $175, after a $50 rebate. Need more info? Jump over to Helio site, from where you can grab the Fin immediately!
