what's up everyone John Rhett enger' from TechnoBuffalo here not got an unboxing for you of the Nokia search a new Kourtney smartphone from 18t Wireless this puppy's gonna run you $79.99 on a two-year contract after a $50 mail-in rebate this is running the Symbian s60 wireless operating system which is the most popular mobile OS in the world and I've never used it so I'm sure looking forward to giving it a whirl the fact that it hasn't penetrated the US market as much as it has Europe and the rest of the world is quite interesting so I am excited to get cracking so let's go ahead and open this up and you know what we got to open it with the big old back so go ahead and dig in the cactus tab myself alright go we will slice our way in this was just released a little while ago so it's a very new phone actually a much bigger AT&T box and we're used to seeing it's much longer and flatter so there is there's a picture of the Serge letting you know on the front that it's got mail it's got a camera it's got a GPS and of course it's got a web browser and the one cool thing about the web browser on this is actually it's flash enabled meaning you can go to youtube.com and you'll see a web page it looks just like it would on your home computer and you can actually play the YouTube video right from your browser in addition to a ton of other cool Flash content that a lot of websites have so let's go ahead and see what else we got in the box package contains box look looks a little beat up but it's a new device so it's probably the first one to open this here's some specs its quad band edge and of course HSDPA meaning it's 3g it's four point four nine by 2.2 four by 0.39 inches weighs point four three eight ounces it's got a 2.4 inch display up to 16 million colors at 240 by 320 it is very nice it's got a pretty beefy battery up to 4 hours talktime but standby time up to 16 days it's got bluetooth and full HTML browser a flash support like I mentioned instant messaging PDF and there as the smartphone features that you would expect so let's go ahead and take a look at the device we'll go through all those features and when we do the review when I did the review using the Royal we so here it is welcome to 18 T on top of the box pretty simple AT&T fair that we're used to seeing here is the device and as usual just put that off to the side for a minute it's like the battery is tucked into the side go ahead and pull it out see how big this battery is the nokia BP 4 L I know that they label out of their batteries three point seven volt 1500 milliamp hour battery which is really nice it's kind of thin so it's nice to see a that bigger battery in that small package let's see what else we got in the box we've got the charger it's what kind of charging port using a proprietary Nokia port and we've got your getting started guide that nobody ever reads getting started CD and some random AT&T information nothing that's exciting over there so let's go ahead take a look at the phone and it's got a nice Giotto it's definitely a plasticy material we'll go over all this in the review let's take a look at what we have on the front we've got a four-way navigational pad looks like there are two buttons that will probably light up when it's powered on right there and there are a few others right on the side as well but it looks like they need to be powered so they're probably backlit we've got three hard buttons right there and you've got your full slide-out QWERTY keyboard on first blush it does appear to be a very usable keyboard with some nice throw in the keys it's got a great big space bar which I like we'll go through all that in the review alright take a look at the top of the device you've got your two point five millimeter headset jack looks like you can also be used for the charging port I believe that'll probably fill right in there we have looks like there's a USB port it feels like it's probably microUSB let's take a look well interestingly enough there weren't any micro USB accessories so that was quite interesting yep Micro USB nothing on the bottom on the side of device you've got your volume rocker and it looks like a camera button to power this camera right here so let's go ahead and power this thing on and take a walk through some of you guys like to see the inside of the phone so here we go there's your SIM card slot and battery just slides right on it going to put this back in this back goes on very similar to the g1 I mean you got to push a button on the bottom and kind of slide your thumb all the way around to take off the back let's go ahead and to power this on and see what it looks like so the power buff backs on snapped on there so there we go it is loading up let me take off the screen protector got that whooshing noise continue using phone in offline mode no so you get your ridiculously loud three Geographic and here we are and using the Symbian operating system which I have to admit have no idea how to use so take this as a first blush of the OS like the batteries got a really nice charge in it and those buttons that we were looking at earlier that we're backlit were indeed backlit so you've got a stand and an N key we've got two soft buttons I think we have a web browser button here we've got a menu button a button that probably launches the email messaging client which it does let's sort of interesting phone it's got this lip on the side that it uses when it slides out to make it sort of a rectangle but it's not so flush which is kind of interesting that's like the device does have a built-in accelerometer that was a pleasant surprise as well interesting let's check the speed when you slide this out peers to be relatively fast certainly faster than most windows mobile phones I'll say so I'm very excited to use this and give the mobile OS estrade this is running the Symbian OS I believe version 3.2 of s60 and again the one thing I want to clarify this is a two megapixel camera so hope you enjoy for exclusive content be sure to check me out on Twitter twitter.com slash John for Lakers and if you want to learn more about TechnoBuffalo twitter.com slash
