Helio’s iPhone-fighting Ocean handset just got another weapon in its arsenal – Exchange ActiveSync support! Contacts, calendar, and email (as long as you have the support of an Outlook Exchange server) are all synced on your Helio Ocean. And, the new Helio file Viewer makes viewing all those Word, Excel, PowerPoint, and PDF file attachments that much easier.
The best part? Helio is offering their Exchange ActiveSync and File Viewer service for FREE! Well kind of. Helio plans on hooking you into using their product by giving you 60 fee-free days of service, but, on that 61st day, Helio’s going to hit you with a $10 per month fee.
If you’ve got an Outlook Exchange server handy (oh, and a Helio Ocean, of course) this sounds like a pretty good deal to us. We’ll just conveniently forget the fact that our Windows Mobile-packin’ HTC TyTn has built-in Exchange support.
