With Helio downsizing its operations, possibly in preparation for a takeover from Virgin Mobile USA, there are probably mobs (in the loosest sense of the term) of Helio customers worried that they may never get to lay hands on the Helio Ocean’s smarter, better, faster, stronger successor, the Helio Ocean 2.
Alas, their worries might not be misplaced. Helio could very well follow the path of all those other MVNOs that just couldn’t manage to turn a profit. Does that mean the Helio Ocean 2 has to go down with the ship? Well, actually, it probably does.
But, at least we’ve got some in-the-wild footage of the Helio Ocean 2 for all you Helio fans to drool over. This here Helio Ocean 2 was caught on film and posted to YouTube. Cosmetically, the Helio Ocean 2 bears an expectedly striking resemblance to its forebear, but with all those requisite spec-bumps contained within, the Helio Ocean 2 is most definitely smarter, better, faster and stronger than the Helio Ocean.
Unfortunately, the video has been taken down, but at least we have this image of the Helio Ocean 2.
Now, we wait to see if Helio can hold out long enough to actually launch this handset.
