hey everyone it's jeff arena with pocket now calm and it's no question that 18 tease android offering is fairly weak while you can always use devices like the nexus one or the samsung galaxy s the unlocked versions you can always pop the sim card right into the phone itself and you're good to go with AT&T when it comes to the phones that are actually offered by AT&T it's not the greatest range you'll have devices like the backflip the HTC area of course you have the captivate which is a great device however now we're going to unbox a new option that has just been released on ATT and that is the sony ericsson xperia x10 well it has been available overseas for quite some time now it is finally making its way stateside and subsidized by US carrier so without further ado let's go ahead start that unboxing and see what we think alright and we're back and let's not waste any time you know yeah this guy cut open we'll just dump the bag right up the actual device is in just gonna pull it out of the box right here I'm going to get right to the unboxing all right now as you can see right in front of us we have the sony ericsson xperia x10 the ATT variant of this device the back of the box will give us some details the typical detail is about the phone itself as you can see here it has the android OS with a 4-inch screen some quick info about some of these specs as you can see right here it is a quad-band both UMTS and the gsm upgradable to 16 gigs of memory with the microsd functionality and it's a 1 gigahertz processor now this is android OS however it's only 1.6 which we will go into further detail later on and our software overview so without waiting around at all let's go ahead and get this guy opened up here all right looks like we have a great deal of manual information here to showing a set up with the battery in as you can see here lots and lots of manual info there's also set of headphones standard that sort of thing kind of give you some information about the AT&T service right there getting things going but let's get right to the beef the unboxing which is the actual device itself quick start guide and here we go the xperia x10 which seems right off the bed much much like the x10 mini living up to its name this is the full version of the x10 go figure we're actually going to pop the battery right in get it booted up but first going to put this aside enter so you'll have your typical AC adapter with the USB that's this is the AT&T version so it will work in the United States and it's going to you a micro USB port to charge which is a good thing many Android devices are using that currently and lastly as you can see here the battery is a 1500 milliamp hour battery so let's go ahead and put our SIM card right in and we'll get this thing booted right up we're going to remove the battery cover I just pulling over from the bottom here there's actually a little groove I'm going ahead and slide the sim card in and the corresponding slot now there is a microSD card included with this device and just pulling out a quick glance it is a 2 gigabyte microSD card and we're going to boot it up for the first time and just give it a quick look a quick glance into basically what to expect with this device the first time that you start it up now that there Sony is saying this is a high-resolution screen so we'll see just how well the screen performs against some of the other options out there such as the galaxy s and possibly the HTC EVO now when you first turn the power button on you of course get that haptic feedback vibration we have the sony ericsson logo and again this is very very similar to the xperia x10 mini frankly because this is the full version but phone is the x10 that is the full life like size if you will about device now it seems like there might be a slight ATT skin on this device just at first glance with that splash screen loading up there however there may not be any conscience at all we'll see what happens we do have a very unique lock or unlock mechanism here which actually swipes off into the side and we'll have all this stuff just run right from our SIM card and adjust the network location all that stuff automatically that way now at first glance once again this is quite similar to the x10 mini in terms of the color and some of the icons while the x10 mini had a custom user interface for what they were calling one finger navigation this is a much bigger screen at four inches and it seems to be the full experience what we're going to do is we're actually going to put this device through its paces as you can see here we have the app drawer we're going to actually put this device through its paces give you a software overview to be exact show you kind of what to expect that if also going to go over some of the sony ericsson custom software that is used here such as the timescape and the media escape apps as you see there we're also going to go into further depth of the hardware show you what the device is all about in terms of the overall hardware on the outside of the device as well as what is inside making this device tick and finally we're going to wrap it up with our overview on this phone so make sure you stay tuned for the next videos and as always gives a thumbs up thanks everyone
