hey guys it's joe from pocketnow.com and i got a treat in the mail today and i'd like to show you the unboxing of it it's the HTC Desire HD let's go look alright so here we go with the HTC Desire HD now this is an Android phone it's got some pretty impressive specifications on it the least of which is of this huge mammoth screen in fact looking over at the specs on the back of the box we've got a 4.3 inch display all kinds of cool stuff but that's not what you're interested in you want to see what's in the box so let's go ahead and do that unlike other Android boxes that lift up this one slides up and inside we have the device it's wrapped in this protective screen very nice device this is like a Nexus One but a little bit bigger at least the screen is ginormous dual flash all kinds of cool stuff we'll come back to the phone in just a minute inside here we've got your necessary stuff smart start the guide contact us warranty a bunch of other stuff that we really don't care about in these we'll come over here into the box and we've got since this is a non US native phone we've got this little adapter that's a an adapter for the power now what kind of power do we have well just the regular HTC wall wart and then this of course is where you connect the two together which of course doing on camera is not as easy as you'd think so if I were non-us that would be what I need to plug into the wall now it's unfortunate that there isn't a u.s. prong on it so I'd have to get another one of these wall plates to do it but it's USB so I don't really need to worry about that let's go ahead and see what else is in here of course you've got the USB cord and I really like how you've got these Roundy if you will they're just a little bit nicer to look at a little bit nicer to plug in and plug out but that's all I need I can take and plug this microUSB cable into a regular USB port or into another USB wall wart and be able to supply power to this device so if you are in the u.s. or really anywhere else in the world that uses a different prong setup than this you're okay just go ahead and plug into your existing device and you're just fine we also have a nice headset which has some squishies in a clip I won't open those right now right there in here so kind of like we're used to a really nice looking headphone jack kind of slim not quite as slim as what you'll see on the Apple products but slim nonetheless and then of course it's got your microphone right there with see if I can get it out your up/down call answer play pause track next yada yada yada right there so nothing unusual so let's go ahead and take a look at of the device itself okay first of all we're gonna take off this protective membrane and it has a little hint up here on the top to show you where you can pull that tab to get it off I'll just move that out of the way now first and foremost this is a huge screen I mean huge to show you what it looks like compared to a g2 we're lookin huge screen but moving right along up at the top we've got a very large speaker with a little LED flash indicator down on the bottom we have our capacitive buttons which are in the same orientation as the g2 home menu back and search and menu is spelled out it's no longer the menu icon HTC branding on the bottom since this is an HTC phone down on the bottom you've got microphone micro USB and your headphone jack moving over here to the side you've got your volume up down rocker it looks like but wow that's funky okay so this isn't a rocker up here it's this button right there and then down there so it's not really a rocker it's more of a soft area of the phone that you can push in to get it going up and down so that's unusual I have to see how that works out power button is on the top over on the other side is blank and then over on the back you'll notice this is a very rounded I don't know if you can see that very well on camera but it's a very rounded back which fits very nicely in the hand especially the curve of the palm right here so it feels really nice but coming back to this we've got our noise cancelling microphone our 8 megapixel camera which will also do 720p video HD video and then a dual flash now I really like the dual flash on there as if one flash weren't enough to blind you you got two down on the bottom we've got some branding for Dolby mobile & SRS Wow HD sound and then of course the large silver HTC logo on the back all in all a very nice very solid phone so there you go with the unboxing this is the HTC Desire HD in future videos we'll get into first boot we'll get into what comes on the device what the Sense UI looks like on it and all kinds of cool stuff so make sure you subscribe to this playlist which I'll give you a link right here subscribe to the playlist subscribe to our Channel and of course if you want to see unboxings like this give us a thumbs up for pocket now I'm Joe Levi
