hey guys John render and TechnoBuffalo here with an unboxing for you of the LG Expo for AT&T Wireless this phone is making a lot of noise for two reasons the first it's one of the few care released smartphones to feature the snapdragon 1 gigahertz processor which is crazy fast by comparison the iPhone 3GS for example has a 600 gigahertz processor so this is market ibly quicker I'll see how that translates to actual real-world speed improvements or multitasking abilities the second is that this is phone also supports a pico projector which is a small projector that catches to the back - lets you well obviously project whatever you'd like I don't have the projector with this phone but we'll take a look about how it handles with the processor it's running Windows Phone or windows mobile 6.5 as you might know it and it's going to run you $1.99 99 after rebates and a two-year contract so enough of me talking let's go ahead and dig in we use the obligatory little knife to this cut into the FedEx box there's the phone piece I don't think the projectors in here there is the phone itself this was just released we've got some 18/2 information you got a picture of the phone on the front and your typical AT&T box letting you know that it's got Wi-Fi is indeed a touchscreen has GPS which is I believe assisted GPS so it'll use cell towers and it's GPS chip and it has a five megapixel camera and of course it's the touchscreen version of Windows Mobile 6 4 5 previously known as professional Wi-Fi touchscreen ah stuff we just ran through take a look at some of the rest of the specs here it's of course a 3G phone talktime up to five point three hours standby time 15 days the Wi-Fi B&G bluetooth 2.1 it's a 480 by 800 resolution touchscreen weighs 5 point 2 ounces it's got a micro SD card goes up to 16 and the rest of the Windows Mobile sort of slew of things looks like this box took some beating in transit okay the phone is still okay I have not used a phone that's taking advantage of the Snapdragon processor so I'm really curious to how it works the same chip that powers the hd2 and I believe a Acer phone as well so go ahead and take out the packaging some information a QuickStart guide here is the phone itself which is actually a lot smaller and thinner than I expect it to be push that off to the side let's check out what else comes in the box your standards lieu of accessories got your charging headers I assume connects to some form of USB cable which is right here and let's see what sort of standard this is if it's a private area or if it's appears to be microUSB we've got a pair of stereo headphones with mic and looks like a volume control on it that's quite nice we've got a stylus so this does not have a stylus embed in the device you have to actually attach this they'll think to it the stylus pops out super annoying hopefully you're not going to need to use a stylus all that much there it is you know it just pops back in its retractable it's using a stylus because this is a resistive screen it is not a capacitive and your battery of size the batteries here I'll let you get that man at 12:00 time it's probably at least 1200 milliamp hours I would assume let's take a look here if it tells us 1500 million power battery this is a quite a big battery it's actually light as well let's take a quick look at the phone here is the touch screen looks like that's some sort of optical go down to the camera focus some sort of optical trackpad we've got your end button or your call button your end button and a back button I don't know if there are some sort of virtual buttons that will show up there on the left side advise you've got a volume rocker up and down on the right you've got your camera button you've got a probably a lock or a smart key and your micro-sd which is nice to have it right on the side so I mean it's hot swappable you don't take off the battery to access it five megapixel camera with LED flash and the battery release door does look to be a quite a nice phone all running through the full paces and see how it works and also it's a little bit on the chubby side because it's got a full evidently four row QWERTY keyboard one first blush does look to be pretty nice keys it looks similar to what we saw on the touch pro2 they're rectangular keys a little bit of raising mechanism there they do feel very nice a little bit of a squishy feel but not bad I think this is a keyboard you could definitely get used to and you've got your sort of weird arrow navigation keys and some shortcut keys embedded there for use with the function button go ahead and slide that back and if you had the projector the battery actually comes off or the battery door comes off projector sits right on the back hopefully I'll get a chance to show you what that looks like at some point stay tuned to the channel for a full review of how this handles and how the Snapdragon processor compared to other devices if you're looking for a size comparison if you're considering the LG Expo I'll show you how it compares some of the more popular phones out there today here is the iPhone 3GS here is the just-released HP I pack and listen also for AT&T it's a touchscreen windows mobile 6.5 phone as well different form factor for the QWERTY board but you get a thick mist comparison if you're interested in any other of these phones here is the xperia x1 by a sony ericsson which is noticeably thicker and lastly here is the original blackberry storm for size comparison sort of stack all these up together that one right there is the expo in case you are keeping track at home I start to see how they all stack up in a big cellphone sandwich there the expo does look to be a pretty nice you can stack up with the rest of them anyway guys hope you enjoyed and I will see you in the next video bye bye
