The HTC Diamond Unboxed

While Judie is at Mobius getting here hands on Zincs and Advantages, the guys over at ePrice have managed to get hold of a HTC Diamond, and have photographed the unboxing for all of us to peruse.

Seems the wacky angles theme not only encapsulates the device but the box as well! I’m looking forward to giving one of these a go!

Unboxing the HTC Advantage 7510

This is going to be a much quicker unboxing than I usually like to do, mainly because it is almost 3am Texas time, and I have to be up in 5 hours to get ready for the next Mobius session. Anyway!

After our dinner tonight, Matt Miller, Ed Hardy, Joel Evans and I met up in Matt’s suite to geek out with our new HTC Advantage 7510s. I managed to capture the unboxing photos, which I wanted to take and post before I really started using the device tomorrow…


This picture of Matt is specifically for Mike Cane. ;-)

Kaz 911 Unboxes the i-mate Ultimate 9502

When Jerry and I had our meeting with i-mate during CES, one of the Ultimates that most caught my eye was the 9502. While I have pretty much given up hope that I will be getting my hands on one anytime soon, Kaz - of  Kaz 911 Rescue Service - is lucky enough to live in Dubai, where the 9502 is readily available at the Sharaff DG in Times Square Mall. He purchased one, and although he has already decided that he won’t be keeping it (possibly because it is so expensive), he has generously shared the unboxing experience…

April Fools: The MacBook Pro Unboxing

I know, I know…I made you all wait forever for this, and it’s really Jerry’s fault. He’s the one that videotaped me unboxing my gorgeous new laptop, and since it was the first time he had used the camcorder he just couldn’t seem to get it right. He was zooming in and out in all the wrong spots, my voice got distorted, somehow or another he managed to make me look really freaking scary.

Well, let’s just say that it took a LOT of special editing, but I think you will like the results…

The Samsung SGH-i620 Windows Mobile Smartphone Review, Part One

The first time I saw the Samsung i620 in the flesh was in the lobby of the Amsterdam Hilton last November. Derek Snyder had brought a white one to Mobius, and Vincent and I couldn’t wait to play with it! Vincent is one of those guys who always has a video camera glued to his hands, and before I knew it, we were shooting.

Let me take a moment to say that one of the things I like most about V is that he doesn’t look at me like I’m an idiot when I get excited about a new device; nine times out of ten, he is just as excited. I really appreciate that in a friend. :-)

The A-DATA Disney T703 Mickey USB Flash Drive Review

Were you a Disney Kid? I sure was. I grew up watching reruns of the Mickey Mouse Club…the original series. I didn’t think twice about the fact that the show was already 20 years old, or that it was in black and white, because up until second grade our TV was black and white anyway. I can still remember the show’s theme song, and I’ll bet that if you ever watched it, then you can too. Needless to say, for many people the familiar silhouette of Mickey’s big ears is ubiquitous with childhood, good times…and Donald Duck!

A-DATA has introduced a Mickey Mouse USB flash drive that rides this nostalgia train; as you can see, there is no mistaking the inspiration for this particular device. Available in 1, 2, 4, and 8GB sizes, according to the printed material accompanying the drive, “this gadget [will] fulfill your desire to keep Mickey Mouse with you all the time.”

My MacBook Pro is Here

Today is simply way too hectic for me to devote the time I need (and want) to do either a full MacBook Pro unboxing pictorial or video…and it’s killing me! I want to open my box!

Since I have a Samsung camcorder review due next week, I should probably do a video, right?

geardiary_macbookpro_01 

That means either waiting until tomorrow or maybe even later tonight - do you think I can hold out? :-P
