what's up everyone John Rhett enger' from TechnoBuffalo here with an unboxing for you of the Samsung Drive I've had a decent amount of requests to cover some feature phones on all major carriers this is the first video that's going to help to sort of serve that market this is a feature phone for AT&T it's gonna set you back just about $20 on a new two-year contract let's go ahead and get to the unboxing I'll go over some aspects as we're doing it so as with any unboxing with me would get to the awkward hacking and slashing with the big ol knife let's see if we can dig into this in here alright excessively avoiding my fingers which is always a pleasant feeling pull off the FedEx wrap and here we have these drive itself it is a slide-out phone I'm not even sure if it's a touchscreen or not but we'll go over the specs and see what we have so it's a picture of the box on the front it's got obviously mail a GPS att's new social cast and a two megapixel camera it does have a 3 x digital zoom it does have an HTML capable web browser I uses AT&T video service which is called CV so you can get news forward to weather sort of like a mini TV it's got a music player messaging threaded text messaging it does have video share which is kind of cool and of course a slide-out QWERTY keyboard let's go ahead and take it out and let's see what else we have on the box here looks like it's just relaying the same messages and I don't believe that this is a touchwiz phone that's sort of Samsung's UI that we've seen on other feature phones see if god your typical CD which I don't know how many of you guys look at a Quick Start Guide quite small here is the device itself texting and driving it can wait of course that is correct it can wait it's a very thin phone for a QWERTY that's got a relatively robust keyboard there it's big enough to type on a little test that in just a minute we'll see what else we get in the box we've got a very small battery let's see what size this is it is 1000 milliamp per watt hours so it's uh not the biggest battery in the world and the charging port with look at Samsung is done with proprietary and we're now on to microUSB which is quite nice let's go ahead and pop in the battery and before you actually take a look around the device so you do have a full QWERTY keyboard here let's see how that works the type on but I like to take back what I said previously the keyboard is actually a bit cramped and feels that hard to get used to there's a decent amount of throws and the key and they are a bit raised despite it being a slider generally on slider phones the keys are flat you can feel around them you can feel the keys but if you've got big thumbs like I do you may have a hard time but I'll use this for a little while and we'll see if maybe time will make this a bit easier to type on as is the case with most phones so you've got a standard array of buttons on the front here we've got the 2 megapixel camera on the back with no flash or self-portrait mirror I took there's a speaker grille on the left hand side you've got your volume rocker up and down camera button and your USB charging port that activates ett services I believe that's what that does I maybe the video share button send end back and two soft keys so now let's pop in the battery and let's see what we got going on ok so you've got the battery and the device gonna go ahead and slide the back on and we will power it up and see what this looks like this is not a touchscreen by the way I mention that I was unsure earlier so we'll go ahead and turn this on and see if we can get that satisfying whooshing sound from the screen protector we do indeed see if we can get some power right through here it may be too dead to charge there we go there is a bit of juice and while that is booting up upsetting a bit more about the phone does have a built-in FM radio which is kind of cool it's capable of streaming radio as well subscription music services and a teen teens mobile music again has a full video and music player which supports mp3 AAC AMR deck and the wave WMA eye melody and a ton of other formats which I don't know as far as multitasking goes they say the simultaneous voice and data as do all of 18 T's 3G phones please insert the SIM card so it's not gonna let me go through and check out the operating system until I put in the SIM card teve SOS so let me do anything nope so we'll take a look at the device a bit further in upcoming videos this has just been a quick unboxing of the new Samsung's Drive a feature phone for 18 t Wireless if you're in the market for a texting phone you may want to keep an eye on this and keep an eye on the channel I'll give you guys a full write-up and review anyway John Rhett enger' and I'll see you in the next video buh-bye
