Samsung's OmniaHD gets high-def unboxing

by Darren Murph May 31st 2009 @ 8:08PM


If watching the N97 crawl out of its Espoo-designed packaging just isn't enough for one day, how's about this? An unlocked Samsung OmniaHD (or i8910, if we're being proper) has found its way into the ever-loving hands of one mareskino, and he was kind enough to unbox the thing on video. Better still, the quality here is second to none, and we'd bet you'll be drooling by the end of it. If you're ready to prove us right / wrong, hop on past the break and mash play.

[Thanks, Curtis]

Nokia's N97 unboxed on video -- somehow, someway

by Darren Murph May 31st 2009 @ 12:22PM


We always heard that where there is a will, there is a way. Said mantra has never been more exemplified than in the video past the break, as someone halfway across this great planet has seemingly procured what could be the very first shipping N97. Still, we'd like to point out a few things here: first, Nokia has yet to officially ship these things, so there's at least a sliver of a chance that by mashing play, you'll actually be watching a KIRF unboxing, and in turn, supporting terrorism. Also, we can't understand a word the unboxer says, so again, he could be explaining just how elaborate of a fake it is, and we'd never know. Needless to say, you should definitely proceed at your own risk.

Update: Seems another fellow got one, and he's got pictures to prove it.

Vodafone's HTC Magic gets unboxed on video

by Donald Melanson Apr 28th 2009 @ 12:34PM


While white seems to have been the color of choice for most official demos of the HTC Magic, there's also a black version headed to Vodafone (and other carriers, eventually), and the folks at Netbooknews.de got their hands on one of those once mythical handsets for a video unboxing. As you can see above (and in the video after the break), the packaging is a pretty sparse affair, as are the bundled accessories, which includes only a USB cable, a power adapter, a basic wired headset, and a case that apparently "feels a little cheap." And, if by some chance you still haven't seen the Magic in action, you can get a glimpse of that in the video as well.

Plantronics Voyager PRO gets purchased, unboxed early

by Darren Murph Apr 20th 2009 @ 1:52PM


Plantronics isn't planning to share intimate details about its Voyager PRO Bluetooth headset until April 23rd, but evidently its supply chain executives didn't exactly touch base with marketing before sending out stock to Best Buy. Jeff and John both managed to procure the $119.99 Bluetooth headset over the weekend, and we've got the shots to prove it. Based on the teaser site down in the read link, this here headset should be it's most advanced yet, but for a buck twenty, it better answer and respond to our calls without us having to intervene.

Update: Plantronics pinged us to say the price point here should be $99. Interesting.

[Thanks, Jeff and John]

Samsung Propel Pro review

by Darren Murph Apr 16th 2009 @ 4:25PM


Earlier this month at CTIA, AT&T launched quite a few new phones into its lineup, one of which happened to be Samsung's sophisticated, college-educated Propel Pro. For a smartphone, the design is quite unorthodox; rarely do you see a WinMo handset that looks more like a square than anything else and can easily double as a mirror for the fashionistas. Engineered specifically for those who favor texting but can't afford to live without the luxuries that come with owning a bona fide smartphone with a bona fide data plan, the Propel Pro caters to an interesting niche. Follow us past the break for our thoughts on the just-launched handset.

LG Arena KM900 unboxed far away from trade show crowds

by Darren Murph Mar 3rd 2009 @ 9:16PM


We already saw every angle of LG's newly launched Arena (or KM900, if we're being formal) at Mobile World Congress last month, but there's just something calming about witnessing an unboxing free of nearby gawkers and devoid of spiraled cables tethered to alarm systems. Seriously, you can't grasp the significance of it without giving the read link a visit, so here's what you do: click, indulge, then return and admit that we told you so.

LG Versa finds its way out of a Verizon box

by Darren Murph Feb 21st 2009 @ 8:24PM


At least on this Gregorian calender sitting here in the office, March 1st is still a few days off. True though that may be, it hasn't stopped at least one LX9600 (or Versa, if you prefer) from getting unboxed from its Verizon Wireless packaging. There's no indication of what truck this fell off of, nor if these phones may actually go on sale a few days early, but one thing's for sure -- this unboxer definitely did the honors in a high school cafeteria. Classy, no?

Sprint's Treo Pro gets glorious unboxing

by Darren Murph Jan 30th 2009 @ 3:46PM


Yeah, we've seen human hands grace the Sprint-branded Palm Treo Pro before, but we've never seen shots like this. Somehow, someway, the lucky souls over at WMExperts managed to grab hold of Palm's latest entry into Sprint stores, and rather than just gloating about it privately, they chose to host up a nice gallery of unboxing shots for all to enjoy. And really, they're super enjoyable. Head to the read link for more.

Softbank's iPhone 1seg tuner / battery charger gets unboxed

by Darren Murph Jan 3rd 2009 @ 2:35PM


If you're American, don't even pretend you care about this. 'Cause you don't care about mobile TV at all, and we've got the facts to prove it. For those parked in Japan, though, you have every right to get jazzed. Softbank's 1seg TV tuner / battery charger has finally been loosed on the carrier's home turf, and the lucky cats over at DVICE were able to acquire one and give it a whirl. Setup was said to be a breeze, the 1seg pickup was crystal clear and the device itself was satisfactorily lightweight. As for downsides, the entire app is in Japanese, and even with the extra juice, watching TV on the go zapped the life out in around an hour with brightness maxed. Check the full writeup and unboxing gallery in the read link below.

HTC MAX 4G gets a proper unboxing in Russia

by Darren Murph Dec 21st 2008 @ 11:12PM


Oh, HTC. Why do you tease us? For the legions of phone fanatics not located in Russia, the images hosted up in the read link are about as close as you all will ever get to Yota's HTC MAX 4G. The world's first GSM + WiMAX handset has been acquired by an evidently affluent individual who reportedly threw down around $1,300 in greenbacks in exchange for this gem. Those familiar with the HTC Touch HD won't find too many dissimilarities, but we'll stop bothering you with these "words" and allow you to give the images some careful attention.

Nokia's ravishingly red E63 gets unboxed on video

by Darren Murph Dec 16th 2008 @ 12:30PM


We already know just how classically sexy Nokia's E63 is, but there's just something in the pits of our stomachs that gets revved up by a video unboxing. Even more so when the handset is draped in a seductive red coating. If you're in the mood for a pinch of Nokia-style teasing, head on past the break, dim the lights, fire up a few candles and mash play. Or just the latter if you're short on time and motivation.

LG's KP500 gets proper unboxing

by Darren Murph Dec 15th 2008 @ 3:10PM


LG's KP500 looked attractive enough under imperfect lighting conditions, but just in case an in the wild gallery wasn't enough to satisfy your curiosity, Daily Mobile has found the time to give the touchscreen-based handset a proper unboxing. We didn't spot anything out of the ordinary (no aliens or Easter Eggs, for instance), but we were delightfully reminded of just how slim this bugger is. Have a look yourself in the read link.

T-Mobile Cameo digiframe gets unboxed, toyed with

by Darren Murph Dec 10th 2008 @ 12:35PM


The unique, cell-connected T-Mobile Cameo has been on sale just under a month now, and our brethren over at Engadget Spanish were able to acquire one for testing. As always, they unboxed things first to satisfy your never-ending desire for undressed gadgets, and even threw in a few impressions to boot. Essentially, setup was a snap, and operation couldn't have been simpler. Now, if only there were a way to make that monthly charge for staying connected simpler to digest; hit the read link for lots more shots.

Nokia E63 gets unboxed, examined

by Donald Melanson Nov 12th 2008 @ 4:31PM


We've seen spy shots and official shots of Nokia's new E63 handset, but nothing quite makes our day like unboxing shots of a fresh new device (even if it's a pre-production unit), and the folks at the TamsS60 blog have thankfully come through on that front, and offered a few impressions of the phone for good measure. Of particular note, they say that the E63's keyboard layout is "a lot less annoying" than the one on the E71, and the "weird type of rubber" used apparently feels better to the touch as well. Anyone looking to ditch their E71 should also be aware that those changes affect the size of the device, so you're out of luck if you were hoping to hang onto your E71's case. Hit up the link below for some more pics, and keep an eye on the site for a full review that's promised soon.

Italian HTC Touch HD gets unboxed, looks highly desirable

by Darren Murph Nov 8th 2008 @ 1:02PM


Not that you don't already have an awesome idea of what HTC's luscious Touch HD looks like from all the hands-on love it's been receiving overseas, but how's about an official unboxing in Italy to really put the cherry on top? Go on, Europeans -- enjoy your Touch HD. It's not like we want one in our part of the world anyway. In fact, don't even bother checking out the read link, there's nothing worth being completely envious of in there, anyway.
