Clinton Unboxes the O2 Zinc

Posted on 19 March 2007 by


Clinton Fitch just got his hands on an O2 Zinc, and he has the unboxing photos posted for your enjoyment.

He says, “When I receive the FedEx package I immediately opened it to find the fantastic packaging that O2 does on their devices.  If there is one that you have to give O2 credit for, their marketing department knows how to make a great presentation!  The top of the box is the white-silver color of Zinc with the Periodic table symbol for Zinc, Zn, imprinted on the top.  Nice attention to detail I must say!

I started Gear Diary on September 30, 2006, and my goal was that this not be an easily labeled site. We all have gear that we use daily – some of it electronic and some of it organic. I think it is fascinating to explore the equipment that makes our lives easier, more entertaining, more productive, and more manageable. My hope is that Gear Diary visitors will find this site to be a comfortable and friendly place to discuss interesting topics – and not only those that are tech related, as well as a location to discover various types of gear – whatever that term may end up implying – that they never knew existed. My specialty is in-depth reviews written in a layman’s terms, because everyone can understand technology, sometimes it just takes a little translating. +Judie Stanford
