Talk:Helio Ocean

In addition, the interface is not the most user-friendly. There is no ability to skip words or to the end of a line when editing, for example, and no cut & paste. It takes sixteen key-presses to change from a bright display and unlit keyboard (for sunlight) to a dim display and lit keyboard. The forward slash is an alt-key combination with both keys on the right side of the keyboard, which makes web-browsing a two-handed or contortionists' proposition, and keyboard mapping inconsistencies make using some applications difficult - for example, entering addresses into Google maps, when one selects numeric input from the keyboard, the space-bar stops working, so entering 1313 3rd ave requires 5 key-presses to get the space in between the number and the street. Keep in mind that the Helio does not support word-wise navigation, so if you miss something like that, it could take a while for you to navigate back to the right place in the control... If you add a memory card and set it as the default place to store pictures, you have to manually move the pictures to the main memory before they are accessible from a text message. There is a raft of details like this, that a user would be unlikely to discover until using the device for a while.

There are also ergonomic problems - the included headset is very pretty but will not fit functionally in most ears, rendering it nearly useless. and the speakerphone is almost completely useless, sounding not much louder than the earpiece at full volume, and quite tinny. And there is no functional sync app for this particular Helio device available on any machine, nor any mac-compatible music sync app.
