Helio's Ocean 2 spotted in all black attire

While the Americanized version of Helio's Ocean 2 has gobs of red accents (thanks, Virgin Mobile!), many have wondered if an all black version would hit the scenes as well. Clearly, that answer is... well, maybe. A South Korean Helio page shows two variants of the newest Ocean, with one devoid of all those fiery accents. Obviously, we've no way to tell if this thing is ever coming to US soil, but this just might be the excuse you needed to hit up Seoul for an extended weekend.

What's with the rotting skull looking icon in the center of the OS dial?

Friday the 13th perhaps?

Oh I just realized Engadget had been putting Jason Vorhees into all the pictures today, Friday the 13th

Is there Jason in all of the pictures? I've only seen him in about half so far.

clearly a big day in cell phones. i thought i was on engadget mobile for a minute.

Changing the phones color does not change the fact that this thing blows. I say again. 2006 called they want thier phone back.

The Ocean 2 is a highly capable phone on Sprint, a highly capable and most reliable data network in the United States. This phone can do what every other smartphone can do on the market. So. Tell me. How does it "blow"?

Engadget, I am quite pleased with you. Your photo editors capitalized on a perfect opportunity to shop Jason's hockey mask into the phone image.

Is it still too easy to quit the browser by accidentally pressing End?

That page is not for the South Korean market, it's for the Korean American market, right here in the USA.

Remember, Mysto was released for Korean Americans first, and the general market release came after:
