hey guys it's Jeff Farina with pocket now calm and it's time to unbox the HTC Wildfire smart phone the Wildfire is an Android device that is really geared toward the budget-minded consumer with a very little price tag in a very affordable price tag for an unlocked smartphone so rather than keep you waiting let's just go ahead and jump right into that unboxing alright and we are back and as you see right here we have the shipping package with the HTC Wildfire here in the shipping envelope so let's go ahead and rip this guy open this is a true unboxing it really puts you here with us as we do the unboxing so we do get the package start just with a little bit easier to open all right now the box itself is very small well let them say very small but it's smaller than most and that is because this device is a smaller form factor than in most as well looking at the box right now I'll actually zoom in a little bit so you can kind of get a better picture here as you can see it as a bunch of faces all over the box this box actually has a striking resemblance to the palm design to a palm and initially had changed you with some of their other devices now looking at the box itself it got and gives us some highlights here now it does incorporate HTC Sense so it's going to talk about the French stream the fact that you can personally recommend your apps you have the widgets which is you know a benefit of the Android you have the widgets which are a benefit of the Android OS as well as the caller ID etc etc now the main thing here that you want to take a look at is actually some of these specifications it's a five hundred twenty eight megahertz CPU which is a little slower than what we're used to at this point in time once again it is a more consumer friendly device which that means with lower price comes lower spec it is preloaded with Android 2.1 as well as HTC Sense now the main thing you do want to take away from here is that it is a 3.2 inch touchscreen so it's a little smaller than most of the phones that we've been using as of late such as the Samsung Galaxy S and the HTC for gee now let's go ahead and cut the tape and get this guy fully open now the box just slides right open right here to actually show you your device now we've actually gone ahead and opened the box up it shares a very striking resemblance to the Google Nexus One packaging granted it is smaller to the smaller device but the packaging itself is very very similar to that there's also some design sense here that you can see from the Nexus One now once again here's the box we will put this box aside and we'll get to the phone laughs we're actually going to make you wait on that give it a little bit of a cliffhanger and we'll get into what's in the box first so so if we have some manuals from HTC to contact us manual some warranty all that fun stuff that you get with every box we're gonna have the adapters themselves and these are going to be the UK type power adapters because again this is a unlocked phone so as you see here we have the UK prongs now for charging it does use the micro USB they're also going to give you the sync cable for that so you can actually plug this guy into your computer sync it up this way as well as charge it so there's your micro USB cable right there and they're also going to give you a set of headphones in the box itself which look to have a play/pause and possibly a answer phone and hang up on the phone call as well as a microphone all right now we're actually go ahead and get to the meat of this unboxing here which is the HTC Wildfire itself as you can see here there's a smaller device a smaller form factor we're gonna have a nice little change of design on the back now we're going to pop the battery out just to be sure that it is in fact in there and sitting correctly just we can turn this on give you a startup for the first time so then we did check is the batteries and they almost like a little sled plastic sled so it doesn't turn on while it's shipping which is actually kind of a little cool design that way the battery is already in the device itself now we will go into more detail on the hardware itself in our hardware overview video but for now we're just gonna go ahead and turn it on just so you get the nice HTC logo splash screen and right off the bat it does feel very similar to the Nexus One it looks very similar to the Nexus One it's a little shorter because it is a smaller device however it definitely shares a lot of the same design sense here alright and we are now fully booted up and it wants us to select our primary language and of course we're gonna go ahead and select English here and it's going to tell us to remove the back cover and insert the SIM card I'm gonna skip this step for now just because we're naka put the sim card in just yet I'm going to skip the on-screen tutorial just so we can kind of get into showing you the phone itself right off the bat of course it is equipped with Wi-Fi we will worry about that later on and it's asking if we would like to use all of Google's settings the time and the date we're going to skip for now as well because the sim card once we connect to the AT&T network it will automatically pull that down and they do tell you to you know connect with Facebook with Flickr right off the bat so it really kind of gives the basic users the people who don't already know to go ahead and do that a little bit of a tip to say hey you know you can get this this much more out of your device by doing this etc etc so now we can get the helicopter view is it just mentioned just by pinching in and out I should see right there which will give us a total of seven screens and of course we have the ability to swipe left and right and is your typical HTC Sense that's one of the nice things about since a lot of people say that it canceled on the phone and that sort of thing because it is a skin it definitely is one of the more intense skins out there however the nice thing about it is it's very consistent if you change from any HTC to another HTC device you're gonna have cents on there so it's like picking up the same phone it's in a different form factor or footprint what we're gonna do now is go ahead and get this guys set up and we'll bring you some more videos coming very soon stay tuned for our software overview our hardware overview and then our second software overview followed by a final review once again this has been the HTC Wildfire stay tuned please give us a thumbs up thanks everyone
