Yeah, this is what I have been playing with all afternoon, and before the comments start rolling in? I know I forgot to point out the video camera on the front. Ha!
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
What we have sunk to folks! Here we are watching the unboxing of a new gadget.. I know its interesting and there are at least 3 of these versions on the web.. I’ve watched all of them.. What does that say about me!
As always Judie makes it fun as opposed to the ‘hands’ review as previously noted!
Thanks for sharing this Judie!! This was a great unboxing, however, it would have been nice to have some closeups of the device (SOME hands only shots, tho this was very refreshing in that we got to see more of your facial expressions…
Dawggone that device is big!! Its got voice capabilities, and not just data, right? I wonder how functional it is as a phone. I hope your review touches on this… I’m looking forward to reading it!!

I’d say this is strictly a BT Headset-only device

Hey Judie, really good video and very popular, you got 208 views in 11 hours.

Hey guys, thanks for all the comments and critiques. As you may have figured out by my prematurely reaching up as I said “bye” at the end – the video was filmed on a tripod without a cameraman – so there was no one to do any zooming shots. However! Maybe on my next unboxing video (this was my first ever) I’ll splice in some zoom shots.
How did you like Gizmo’s little bark-fest there at the end, when Sarah came home from school? :nono_tb:
@Brandon – yeah, I realized later that I was dancing in my chair.
@Chris – it’s a full PPC Phone Edition, but I see it as being more of a data-only device; kind of like a laptop with a SIM card installed, to be used as a phone only with a BT headset (as Mitchell mentioned).
On a totally different note:
I haven’t yet stuffed the Advantage in my bag, because I am concerned that its magnets will kill the strips on my IDs and credit cards. This may be a problem…possibly a deal breaker. :ponder_tb:
How about Dancing With the Stars?? American Bandstand??

You are the hotest unboxing babe on the web. And the phone is secondary in this video.
I was thinking of buing this device. can you actually typ on it like a laptop. No one ever discuses the keyboard experience.
Keep the videos comming.
P.S. I love the doorbell and the dog barking, it adds flavor! you are the unboxing queen!

“I was thinking of buing this device. can you actually typ on it like a laptop. No one ever discuses the keyboard experience.”
Well yes and no. The keyboard is a bit small and due to size constraints isn’t quite as full-featured or as nice as a laptops, but, it is a lot more responsive and a lot easier to use than I thought it would be.
I will try to create and post a video soon about how everything works together, it’s all quite amazing.
YAY!!! The video now has the following ranking honors: #41 – Most Viewed (Today) – Gadgets & Games – All #33 – Most Viewed (Today) – Gadgets & Games – English #20 – Most Linked (Today) – Gadgets & Games – All (now on page 1 of most linked!)
