a little later than expected thanks to some winter weather the nokia lumia icon arrived in my office in this giant Pelican case why don't we get it out of the case and out of the box I'm Taylor Martin this is PocketNow and this is the Nokia Lumia icon uncasing so what we have here is the Nokia Lumia icon for Verizon and as you can see it came to us in this giant sturdy heavy Pelican box we're not sure why we don't really care why it's just awesome that's all we know and as you can see it also has icon they are branded on the front so I don't know why this exists why it had to come to us like this but I'm not complaining because this is awesome it's a new experience it's different and it's not just like unboxing any other phone that's probably why they did this but without too much delay let's get inside this awesome case and see what it's about yeah if you flip it open you got this nice red glow that's awesome but you also have this paperwork here this is just some standard stuff to tell us about the phone the Nokia Lumia icon on Verizon tells us what we've already been hearing for ages now that it has a 20 megapixel PureView camera 5-inch 1080p display and a 2.2 gigahertz quad-core Krait 400 cpu that is part of the Snapdragon 800 chipset inside it also has 32 gigs of storage which that's not on here and that's to get 2 gigabytes of RAM and awesome awesome other things to boot it's one of the most high-end Windows Phone devices we've seen especially for Verizon also just to clear the rest of specs out of the way it also has a twenty four twenty milliamp hour battery so let's get this out of the way and see what this is all about so here's the handset that's awesome we're gonna move to the side of course and see what else is under here get to know your phone product safety warranty guide that is your SIM card and your two other things that is gonna be your AC brick your power brick as well as a microwave you micro USB cable for gene so standard stuff there you also get these Nokia purity pro wireless headphones as well so they've got NFC embedded as well as user controls and this nice case and we've also got some plexiglass down here so yeah actually down here we also have a wire in case you don't want to listen to them wirelessly power brick for AC power product information guide and under here we have a micro USB cable so standard stuff there awesome that it includes these headphones I want to check them out I had the original purities not the purity pros but I definitely want to check these out and see how the wireless sounds but let's get all of this put aside this awesome case out of the way it's a giant case which doesn't fit in a view and let's take a look at what we're really here for the phone itself the nokia lumia icon on Verizon and this is one of the first really truly high-end windows phones on a CDMA carrier and that's awesome we haven't really seen anything to this caliber or degree on something like Verizon or or Sprint here in the US and that's awesome we've been waiting for something like this for a while now so as you can see here the hardware is very stark and bold and squared and industrial and I like that I think Michael probably will as well and as I said earlier this is a 5-inch 1080p ClearBlack display so we're happy to see 1080p and we're gonna power at home while we do this little hardware tour as well if you take a look at the bottom all you have on the bottom here as well as some branding is a micro USB port on the side you have a camera shutter key power button the volume rocker the top is a 3.5 millimeter headphone jack as well as a SIM slot which you can actually just pop open with your finger it looks like maybe I can't get to that but we'll do that later and this side is completely clear and black then you have your speaker port here on the bottom which is nice and big as well as the 20 megapixel PureView camera so this thing looks awesome it feels very heavy and sturdy in the hand and it is powered up let's get started and see if we can skip through this I can't remember if you can skip through without a sim so this thing is actually running Windows Phone 8 the Nokia Lumia black update but I don't think it's actually gonna power on right now or power up or activate because the sim card is in the Pelican box I forgot about that so it's not going to turn on we can just take another quick Hardware tour while I say some other things and close out the video like stay tuned for the full review which should be up next week or late late this week at the very soonest will have some comparisons up gonna compare this with the 1020 of course and some other Android devices and then we'll do a full review on it so stay tuned for that until then I'm Taylor
