We promised it was a comin’! Helio’s first clamshell device is called the Helio Fin, and we’re really liking it. While not the biggest fans of Samsung around here, the Helio UI is where the device really delivers! You can see Samsung hints here and there, but for the most part it is all Helio. The hardware itself is actually impressive — very sturdy, great keypad — awesome camera, too! As you saw earlier, the Fin supports most of what the Ocean offers like AIM, Yahoo, Live Messenger, including push email. It’s really small and thin. We just wish there was a real LCD display on the outer flip. Sit back, and check out the pictures in our gallery while put it through the paces and put a formal review together!
