hey guys it's Joe the Android guy the Motorola Droid 4 is the latest in the droid family and it's also the latest Android powered smartphone with a slide-out keyboard what comes in the box let's go take a look this is the packaging that the Motorola Droid 4 for Verizon comes in it's relatively simple you've got barcodes on one side some basic FCC disclaimers and recyclability on the other over here we have some information that it's TV compatible and trademarks and all kinds of stuff along with a notice that a device restocking fee may apply if you return or exchange this device up on the top packaging contents what comes inside the box the front is a very simple Droid 4 and on the back is really what makes the Droid 4 stand out which is this nice slide-out keyboard so let's go ahead and open it up and see what we get so inside the box my verizon rep put the Verizon 4G LTE micro SIM package then we have the phone itself we'll get to that in a minute underneath this kind of folds up we have a wall wart with looks like the USB plug is down in the bottom so this plugs into the wall and the power plug comes out there next we have our nice USB cable this one is a little bit dissimilar from what we've become accustomed to with previous droids but still it'll do what it needs to of course it has a micro USB on one end and traditional USB on the other we also have our backplate and something else inside there which we'll get to and of course our obligatory manuals product and safety warranty information yadda yadda yadda all that stuff that nobody ever reads so that's what's in the box let's go ahead and open up this backplate and opening that we have a kind of an instruction sheet here telling you how to put everything together and then down at the bottom of that package this little pink bag and that pink bag is simply a little pokey thing looks kind of like a oppressor now why do you have that eye I don't know is there a reset who knows it doesn't say but there's a barcode on it we'll find out and let you know in an upcoming video but let's go ahead and plug this in we'll open up our micro sim now this phone does have a microSD slot some of them are coming without them there's our micro SIM go ahead and just pop that off the card and set it aside to insert that we lift this side and that lifts up this little kind of rubberized gasket shows a picture of what it's supposed to look like so we'll go ahead and put the SIM in like that if we had a micro SD which there was not one in the box that would plug in right there one other interesting thing of note this battery it says right here is non removal don't attempt to remove it dad I don't know quite how I feel about it it looks like it's removable you just have to kind of cut this warranty tape to get at it but it's very clear telling you you know don't do that on the back let's go back to the instructions to insert the micro sd we already did that there's the grommet cover the Micro SIM micro SD and it notes again the battery is not removable shows us how to install the backplate so let's take that little instruction sheet off go ahead and set this down now there is a nice little tabby thing right there you set the backplate down has kind of a nice texture to the back and then that little thing goes up now that's where that little pushy thing comes into play now it's locked in place till you take this pushy thing and push it in this little hole which releases that little plunger that's holding the backplate on so kind of an interesting design fairly novel that you have to have that little piece and I think a paper clip would probably do just as good in there so that's the unboxing in the next video we're going to give you a hardware walk-around and first boot of the phone so make sure you stay tuned for that four pocket now showing off the Motorola Droid 4 I'm Joe the Android guy
