HTC Inspire 4G for AT&T - Unboxing & Hands-On

2011-02-03
it's a phone that hasn't come out yet and it's got my name on it it's been so long since I've experiences and yet it feels so familiar what's up everybody I'm Noah see right there Noah Kravitz from TechnoBuffalo we should write that on there just so everybody knows Tech no Buffalo believe it dad you say believe it and this is the htc inspire 4G for AT&T all right it's the inspire 4G it's the first of this new wave of 4g phones that were announced CES to actually be in our hot little hands and it's the first 4g mobile phone offered by AT&T now AT&T is calling hspa+ 4g which apparently it now is according to the itu I'm doing an article on 4G and what it means and everything I've had to rewrite it like nine times so trying to you know get around like what it really means to consumers and they keep changing it and everything but anyway it's the first 4g phone from eighteen t will be available februari 13th for 99 99 on two year contract so 100 bucks for a pretty high-end 4g phone running android 22 with HTC Sense on it I believe it's the new version of sense big screen everything you know not about deal as far as these things go of course you know it's your monthly fee that's really going to get you not 100 bucks up front anyway inside the box you get the quick start manual you get the phone texting and driving it can wait seriously do if I ever see any you texting while you're driving i will not be happy i'm not going to you know do anything because you could probably beat me up but seriously just don't text and drive it's not it's not worth it it's dangerous to you it's dangerous to other people on the road and it doesn't matter if it's that important pull over to the side of the road and then deal with it anyway there's a sim card in here which is good because i can power it up so we will do that 4.3 inch screen 8 megapixel camera with HD video dual LED flash on the back it's got the Dolby mobile the SRS wow sound system so let's open up the battery cover those of you who have followed my dubious career as a phone reviewer know that this is often the most entertaining part of the video where Noah tries to figure out where the battery cover is on the phone and how to open it I may just give up on this one and read the directions I think I'm going to it's too it's probably very easy to e to do which is why I want to just read the directions instead of flowing around with it insert your sim card of micros they push the bottom cover how to remove it see so easy just push out look at the head easy as pie all right so sim card they wrote the number on the sim card so Lola will hide that you've also got your microSD card slot in here what's inside there an 8 gigabyte microSD card get that back on there see I'm so why do I feel so hard with battery covers all the time you would think now that I've done there well powered up power button on the top we powered up is there any power in here or no in the box you've got the AC adapter with the u.s. plug is she sees a global company I'll see the batteries not even it that's why it's in power huh yeah you've also got your micro USB cable and the battery of course these are on the HTC biodegradable corn starch based bags I'm really psyched that they do that that's pretty cool what's the power rating on this battery 1230 milliamp hour battery there you go so now I have to figure out how do I get the battery in alright so powering up I don't know if there's enough juice in the battery right now to really do anything with us when we have to plug it in the wall but while it's firing up 4.3 inch Super LCD display so super LCD is kind of counterpart to Super AMOLED and you know having to do with availability of screens and all that stuff you know whatever it's it's the new display tech on the bottom you've got four capacitive touch buttons your android buttons on the back 8 megapixel camera with HD video capture dual LED flash nothing on the right spine on the left spine you've got your volume rocker switch the evil battery cover on the top your power lock switch on the bottom micro USB port and three and a millimeter headphone jack the screen is locked you can see I'm in h plus range for g h plus now my powering down my ad better oh no we're good okay so select the language using on-screen keyboard transfer data so you know HTC is always nice with the set up the set up
