Reviews of the Helio Fin
-
CNET Review
The Good: The Helio Fin is an extremely thin phone with an impressive feature set that includes a 3.0-megapixel camera, a music player, built-in GPS, EV-DO support, direct media uploads to Flickr and YouTube, and more. It also has great call quality.
The Bad: The Helio Fin has a tiny external display. It lacks a self-portrait mirror, a dedicated camera key on the side, and a dedicated speakerphone key. It also has a flat keypad that's unpleasant to use.
The Bottom Line: The Helio Fin is perhaps too thin for its own good, with several design compromises that place slimness over usability. If you can look past these flaws, however, the Fin is a feature-packed phone with excellent performance.

Review Summary: Helio's first flip phone washes up on shore. Is there a shark in the water or did someone's surfboard crack on the rocks?
