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 117x52x11.4 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!

Dusan has been using smartphones since their introduction and is now following the latest trends in the industry. The "convergence" is what he's most excited about, and writing about it is the next logical thing to do. He thinks that using a smartphone is what everyone who cares about their time should do. In addition to his interests in mobile phones, Dusan also loves to experiment with the latest web and mobile 2.0 services. The idea of accessing and managing your information from any device no matter where you are simply amazes him. Whether it's an online to-do list, note taking service or a video sharing social network, he's there to try it out. He admits though, he's still searching for the ultimate web-based organizational tool, which "sings" perfectly with the mobile PIM application. Dusan used to run SymbianWatch.com which later became part of IntoMobile. He lives in Serbia, South-East Europe, from where he edits the site on a daily basis.
