Helio today is launching the Fin, Helio's first flip phone. It is based on Samsung's Ultra series clamshell, like Sprint's M610 and AT&T's A717, but even thinner at 11.4 mm and with an upgraded 3 megapixel camera. The Fin shares the rest of the Ultra's features including stereo Bluetooth, microSD slot, large QVGA display, OLED caller ID display, and 100 MB of internal storage. The Fin shares the Ocean's new unified messaging app. Helio is also launching two new services for both the Fin and Ocean: turn-by-turn GPS-enabled driving directions by Garmin, and an update to the HOT (Helio On Top) home screen feature that can integrate any RSS feeds the user wants.
