On the app side things are again very familiar, although Buddy Beacon 2.0 - once we got it running - proved much more useful, thanks to a new Facebook tie-in and free WHERE widgets offering up anything from ticket info to weather forecasts or local gas prices. We adjusted after a few days and didn't have a preference for either the old or new design in that respect. Additionally, the number pad is now on the bottom third of the dual-slide mechanism, not a big deal, but just enough to throw off users upgrading the first time it's opened. The "Helio" branding across the top (portrait) or left (landscape) now lights up, red while charging, blue when fully charged or for messaging alerts.

Overall the face design is the same, with four multifunction buttons around the screen adjusting to software and orientation changes.
The red finish on our limited edition model - the first, and for the time being only, type available at launch February 12 - combines with the all glossy front panel to give this model a more sophisticated look, and the slight taper along the sides brings not only a welcome slimming effect, but makes it more comfortable to handle in portrait mode. The hardware should be immediately familiar to Ocean 1 owners, while closed the Ocean 2 is slightly thinner and just a bit longer, making it just that much easier on our pants and jacket pockets.
