Tired of all the hoopla over the new Apple cell phone? Or just looking for something different? These worthy alternatives are already on the market, or coming soon.

Helio Ocean
Helio Ocean
Cost: $295 (with two-year contract)

While the iPhone touts a touchscreen keyboard, the Ocean has two pull-out keyboards for heavy-duty communicating. Also unlike the iPhone, this handheld allows for instant messaging (using any of three messaging clients). And with a 2.4-inch display and landscape viewing option, the Ocean also supports videos and music from Helio's over-the-air store, which enables wireless downloads. Available on Helio's high-speed 3G network, which is faster than the iPhone's EDGE technology.
