The Helio Ocean takes a gander at both elements of cell phone devices by providing a dual slider, which gives you different functionality depending on what you're going for. The first configuration is a full QWERTY keyboard so that you can easily text message or email. The second is a standard number pad for more typical cell phone usage (i.e. phoning people). With all of this sliding action, you can expect a slightly thicker cell phone - it's definitely not a RAZR, but at 0.86 inches, it's only slightly larger than the Blackberry Pearl at 0.57 inches.

I like this in theory but I'm not sure how often you'd be switching back and forth, so the thickness factor is a pretty big deterrant for me.
