Expert Review of the New Helio
The latest cell phone from Samsung is the Helio Fin. Not only is this the smallest and lightest Helio phone, its also the thinnest flip phone. New on the Fin is Garmin's mobile GPS application, which gives voiced turn-by-turn directions to specified addresses, or to search for POI such as restaurants, bars, ATMs, and gas stations. The GPS service on the Fin costs $3 per day, at the moment there are no monthly plans available.
On the Fin's Web browser you can zoom pages and images on the fly, while there is a mini-map that shows you your position relative to the rest of the page. Web pages are rendered to the phone with the help of Google optimization. The Helio Fin has a built-in 3.0 megapixel camera, which produces impressively sharp snapshots for a cell phone. Other worth mentioning features on the Fin are voice calling, three-way calling and a loud speakerphone.
