this is terry davis for pocket now calm and this is the unboxing video for the UK sim free palm centro so let's take a look what's inside the box when you get your palm centro first of all you come to your usual collection of manuals so what have we got we have a quick reference guide which is a complete user guide showing you how to use the Centro hardware itself and the software that's contained on there there's a CD which allows you to install software onto your desktop or your laptop this allows you to copy files music files and video files from your desktop to your palm centro and also synchronize things like your contacts and your diary there's a leaflet which shows the accessories that are available for the palm centro and i'm sure these will grow as the launch takes off there's a list of support numbers should you need it for America Asia Pacific Europe across the world for all the contact details for support and a reedus first it's a quick user guide which shows you how to go about charging your charging your new central and the accessories that you'll get inside the box now just bring the device itself to one side for a second let's see what accessories we have inside here so the first thing we come across is this distinct cable which is one end this is the USB for going into your into your PC and the other end is a proprietary connector which will synchronize and charge the the Centro when it's connected to your PC the headphone that this supply is a single mono earbud which acts as a hands-free kick you can also listen to music but obviously it's still only going to be mono on that now this is just a pre-launch release version so then that they may be an intention for them to put a set of stereo headphones in there because it does play music and is aimed at that young market so that there may be a set in there this is yet to be confirmed the charger is a proprietary charger which fits into the bottom of your of your your palm centro and a standard block charger that plugs into your wall now the thing that I like about this which is quite clever is you can actually eat gummy you can see here it's got the UK standard fitting on there but if you just pop pop this off underneath it seats late like on date on the ipod charges it's got the u.s. fitting there as well and it also comes with with Europe and Asian fittings on here so you've pretty much covered for most of you travel throughout the world for charging your sentra wherever you go so that's what's in the box now moving on to the device itself as you can see it's quite small it's as they call candy bar sized fits nicely in the hand it's got a 320 320 touchscreen it's fairly slim just running around the device underneath there you can see there's the the connections for synchronizing and your proprietary charger slot there and just underneath there is the microphone hole as well on the side here you have volume controls of down volume controls and there's also a button there which you can program to be kind of a hot button that you can use for any accessories that you want on the top and as familiar with parm you've got the the button that allows you to switch from ringa to vibrate which is handy if you're in meetings you can slit you hand in your pocket flip it across and the sound goes off on the side they're still there still keying in there with an infrared connector and just below it only if you can see that there is actually a little door there and that's where your your your micro SD memory card goes and there's also a little look just on the corner there which allows you to connect the lanyard if you like to pop it around your wrist just for the Nexus extra security looking at the front of the device below the screen we've got the power on and the standby button and then the receive calls button and you've got quick access to to to your your applications through through four independent key buttons there and you've also got the d-pad control with the the central selection key with the palm logo on the sensor there i'll leave the keyboard to last because I'll just flip over to the back here now it's got a 1.2 megapixel camera which does video and still shots unlisted there they're very good quality considering it's only 1 point 2 megapixel but they're very good and and it's it's got the speaker there for playback of your video now if i look at the keyboard i was i was when i first saw this keyboard i was a little suspicious of it shall we say because it looks it looks a little bit fiddly to use but i don't know if you can see in there in profile this actually got beveled keys and they're rubberized so it's actually very easy when you're using it to feel which key you're on you can you your thumbs tend not to press three or four keys at once it's very accurate and quite sensitive and i'll go through that in the demonstration that i do later so there is the UK version of the sim free palm centro
