greetings all this is deke Adams with pocketnow.com and today we've got the unboxing of the HTC Flyer from t-mobile so sit back relax and enjoy the show now the HTC Flyer has been available for some time now it's just been recently that the t-mobile version this version we have here has been available made available as of sep tember 13th of 2011 let's go ahead and open up the box and take a look at see what's inside here as far as accessories go here's the unit itself which we'll come back to in just a minute nothing else inside that tray there and here we have the wall wart and it's got a proprietary kind of it almost looks like a micro USB connector but it's a bent and little air in the middle and then the USB cable also has that same configuration sim cards and these regulatory guide and the quick guide also included this box another accessory that you can get with the HTC Flyer is the HTC scribe pin which will show in the further hardware review once we get going with this particular device so let's go ahead and power up the device get it plugged in and we'll take a closer look at that so starting with the back cover you can see here I've already pulled off the cover that goes over the top of the sim card slot which is right here and also the expandable microSD card slot maximum card size is 32 gigs here and it's got 32 gigs of built-in memory as well this is a real pain to get on and off so I figured I'd start with it off for the sake of the timing this of the review and as you can see here it just kind of like snaps into place back on top of there a couple of speaker holes here on the back this is got a little bump here a little nub right here that's a little bit this is kind of Luminum unibody here and this plastic has a little more stickiness to it then you would normally expect we'll see how that works out holding it in the hand down here on the bottom is the charging port and data port volume rocker key and microphone on this side nothing here but clean aluminum here power button up on the top the HTC Flyer does work on the GSM obviously considering it's running through t-mobile service it weighs about four and twenty grams that's about 14 point eight ounces the dimensions are 7.69 by 4.8 by point 5 2 so it's it's not a lightweight device for the form factor especially if you are comparing this against like the color look or against the let's say candle absolutely much heavier in that case screen is a 1024 x 600 pixels if i can find the power button here it is a LCD display it has the i believe it's called the N trig capacitive or avatar back capacitive but the end-rig touch technology which is used for the pin technology which will cover later for are not really for we have three capacitive touch buttons and then you have a special button here which is specifically for the pin which again we'll cover more in the hardware section screen looks pretty nice and the device seems pretty quick to start with this review unit came to us already pre started so that's why you don't see any other configuration options to start here we'll play around with it some more and cover some of those other items in the software review it's got a little bit of a lip that goes around here around the edges it's got a small megapixel front facing camera I believe it's by 1.3 megapixel camera on the front and a 5 megapixel camera on the back it's running Gingerbread it's not running a tablet OS at this time but it's anticipated to be coming very shortly otherwise seems to be very nice in the hand that I can feel so far off to do some more testing on it but we'll cover that in for the reviews if you have more questions about the actual specs will have those on the website pocketnow.com the battery itself is 4,000 milliamp hours it's supposed to have a standby time about 1,400 1,400 and 70 hours which is should be a pretty good clip the processor on this is a Qualcomm Snapdragon 15 mattered megahertz it's got a gig of ram which should be more than sufficient for this device will see how it really runs with some games that it's got a seller ometer and a compass in this as well no gyroscopes that we've been able to find that wraps up our unboxing of the HTC Flyer from t-mobile if you have any questions or comments want us to test one particular item or see a particular feature of the device leave a message in the comments below will try to address them thanks for watching hm
