Helio's Ocean 2 spotted in all black attire

by Darren Murph posted Feb 13th 2009 at 5:09PM

While the Americanized version of Helio's Ocean 2 has gobs of red accents (thanks, Virgin Mobile!), many have wondered if an all black version would hit the scenes as well. Clearly, that answer is... well, maybe. A South Korean Helio page shows two variants of the newest Ocean, with one devoid of all those fiery accents. Obviously, we've no way to tell if this thing is ever coming to US soil, but this just might be the excuse you needed to hit up Seoul for an extended weekend.

This is not a "South Korean" version, it's not even available in South Korea at all. This is a release for Helio powered by SK Telecom, which operates in the US, and is simply the same services, just targeted to Korean-Americans and/or immigrants. You would not be able to find this phone in Seoul, or anywhere in Korea.

The poster of this obviously didn't read the original link
"Looks like it is indeed. This render of the Ocean 2 decked out with a black bezel was hiding in a Helio page intended for Korean-American customers, and it appears it might even be for sale already for that market. It might mean a trip to a Korea-town dealer or calling up a Helio CS rep and asking real nicely, but if you’re waiting for a slightly less vibrant Ocean 2, you might be able to get one now."
