Ain’t No Fin Thinner than This : Helio Fin

Helio has just come out with what it’s calling the thinnest flip phone in the U.S. Dubbed the Fin, it’s a Samsung device that has a thickness of only 0.45-inch, thinner than Motorola Razr.

The Fin is a blue-black magnesium-shell flip phone, coupled with a simple design. From the looks of it, it appears to be an improved version of the Samsung D830, which is a GSM phone currently only available in Europe and Asia.

Some of Helio Fin features including :
- a 3-megapixel camera
- 100MB of memory.
- EV-DO mode capable,
- a full HTML browser with page zoom,
- a 2.3-inch QVGA display,
- a microSD card slot,
- built-in GPS,
- stereo Bluetooth,
- a music and video player that supports MP3s, AACs, MPEG4s, and H.264 video,
- and full featured messaging options.

Email options include POP3 and IMAP support, web email access, and push mail support for Yahoo, AOL, Windows Live, and Helio Mail. Similar to the other Helio devices, the Fin also supports GPS services like Buddy Beacon and Google Maps for Mobile.

But that’s not all — the Fin also comes with Helio’s recently updated HelioUP software that will allow you to upload photos and videos directly to Flickr and YouTube.

Also, at long last, Helio has made its H.O.T.(Helio On Top) feed reader customizable, meaning you can now add all your favorite RSS feeds to the feed reader and have the latest headlines stream in on your phone’s home screen.

Available at only $175 with a $50 discount, the new Helio Fin sounds like an ultimate deal for gadget lovers.
