A new dual-slider from Pantech with Helio branding on it has been approved by the FCC. This phone, called the OZII, resembles the Pantech Ocean in most respects and has a QVGA display, standard numeric keypad and a QWERTY keyboard for composing messages. The styling has been updated compared to the Ocean, and it looks sleeker. It has EVDO 3G and a full HTML web browser. It also comes with stereo Bluetooth, a slot for microSD cards and a 2 megapixel camera with flash that also records video. Virgin Mobile, which recently acquired Helio, confirmed that it is committed to launching the Ocean 2. While the FCC documents do not call this device the Ocean 2, this is likely the phone Virgin Mobile was referring to.
