what's up everyone jon rettinger from technobuffalo here with an unboxing for you of the verizon wireless mifi 2200 intelligent mobile hotspot so what this does it will take verizon wireless's evdo rev a signal suck it in and kick it out as a Wi-Fi hotspot so essentially what that means is you've got a Wi-Fi hotspot anywhere you go so you can connect your laptop your cell phone anything with Wi-Fi you can connect to this just as you would any other Wi-Fi network taking it one step further this also lets five people connect to it so if you're out with some friends and they need a signal you can have five people hook up right to this actually is a pretty nice concept and it's just about the size of eight credit cards stacked as you'll see in just a moment let's go ahead and get to the unboxing and if you're interested in one of these it will run you 149 then a fifty-dollar mail-in rebate so just about a hundred bucks or you can get it without a contract for about two hundred and sixty dollars and you can spend about sixty dollars a month for a five gigabyte plan or I believe forty bucks a month for 256 megabytes I'm not a big fan of contract so I think getting this off contract makes more sense and certainly that five gigabyte plan is the way to go it is definitely expensive but five gigabytes they say is about eight hours total of streaming video continuously so it is a decent size so since is an unboxing let's take a look at the box there's a picture of the device right there the mifi 2200 you've got some stuff at the package includes but we'll see that in a minute another picture of the device and that is about it let's go ahead and dig in we got the obligatory knife for this try not to stab myself all if I do I promised upload the video there we go okay but open it up and see what we got I should mention that sprint has one of these as well exact same concept it's just white and their plans are exactly the same price so here it is be mine 520 200 and it is actually very thin i'll do a size comparison for you guys in just a moment looks like it uses micro USB as well which is nice that it's not a proprietary port put that off to the side dig into the tray you've got your setup information no big deal you've got your battery of size 11 hundred and fifty milliamp hour battery and they claim about four hours of battery life with this which is quite nice that's four hours with up to five people connected you can also charge it via USB using this micro USB to USB cable and it'll work while it's charging as well and then we've got a wall charger that looks like we also have a little pouch to keep it in let's see if this is a leather pouch or what it's made out of now just sort of a soft cloth material nothing terribly fancy there and all you have to do is activate this thing once and it is completely good to go so let's take a look at the size I'm go ahead and move this off to the side it is very very thin which is quite nice let's say we want to compare it to a devices at you're familiar with for example here's the iphone 3gs you can see it's much smaller saket on top it's also noticeably thinner you could very easily put this in a pocket or slide in your laptop bag and always have Wi-Fi wherever you are and this also comes with full protection so you can use wpa or a ton of other encryption methods make sure no one else that you don't want is hopping on your network so there's with the iphone how about an old classic here it is with the original RAZR you can see it's pretty close in size and lastly here is the HTC hero so taking a look around the device we go ahead and peel off the plastic no whooshing sound it kind of like that on a pillock classic from a new devices you've got a power button with an LED indicator light there and when you're connected it'll blink to let you know that you are hooked up and again you'll need to set this thing up once and you are good to go there's the battery door right there warning remove label before battery assembly okay so we will pop this out and just like a cell phone it's got a battery eleven hundred and fifty million power battery it's not huge but it should be pretty good it's already a fingerprint magnet as you guys can see and I am excited to use this be nice to always have internet wherever I go so hopefully it will be worthwhile and live up to the hype anyway this is a jon rettinger a technobuffalo for exclusive content be sure to check me out at twitter twitter.com / john for lakers i'll see you guys in the next video bye bye
