In a YouTube moment, it appears that the collapse of Helio (Virgin takeover) is not stopping the development Helio Ocean 2. In a video snapshot, a watchful eye over at HelioCity was able to pause and identify that the device is the much anticipated Ocean 2. While we remain skeptical that this is the Ocean 2 due to the overwhelming similarities to the original Ocean, the inner geek wants us to believe in the dual-sliding Ocean 2. If the video capture has you interested, the source is conveniently no longer online which only adds to our skepticism and could be symbolic of Helio’s future as our favorite MVNO network. In case your memory is less than perfect, the ‘to be confirmed’ specs are below for the Helio Ocean 2.

Helio Ocean 2 Specifications:
- 3 megapixel camera with flash (autofocus not confirmed, yet)
- Dual slider
- microSDHC support for up to 32 GB
- 1GB of internal storage, 900+MB available to user
- In-browser Flash support
- 30 fps video recording (resolution unknown)
- Touch-sensitive directional pad (think LG Chocolate)
- PC sync capable
