Low tide for my (helio) Ocean
Ugh. What an awful title.
So my phone is starting to go on the fritz. The screen is taking its sweet time in lighting up, if it all. I don’t think I will have a lot of options for myself in the meantime. There are no Helio stores to get a repair, which means shipping it out, likely at my own expense, and being without my phone for who knows how long.
If you’ve seen me with my phone, you know I use it mostly for texting, email and web surfing. Without my Ocean, I feel pretty naked, cold, and terribly alone.
Worse yet, I have about another 6-7 months on my contract, which means I can’t simply jump to a new carrier— at least without dropping $175.00 to get out of Helio.
I love the Ocean despite its many flaws, and Helio overall has hassle free payment plans, but from what I’ve seen of the Ocean 2, I think I’m going to end up a iPhone owner. The question is simply when.
