hey everyone Daniel Webster here from packing.com and today I'm going to show you the hardware tour the verizon touch pro2 so we get started at the top of the device at the top we have a notification LED to the right of that we have the earphone speaker covering a metallic mesh to the right of that we had the light sensor below that we have the verizon emblem we have an LED backlit touchscreen LCD display this is the resistive touchscreen of course we have the zoom slider for sliding an application such as pictures and opera mobile we have a HTC emblem right here we have the call start button the windows button they return our back button and the call and and power button it actually took me a minute to turn on this device because I assumed that the top button on this device was actually the power button like it is on the other touch pro tues but it's actually this button here so if i push on this button it'll turn on the device and then it will ask me to it'll say backlight is off so I've soft to press this button which is kind of weird so I'll just turn that off turn off the backlight and we'll move to this side of the device we have the volume rocker so up and down pretty simple no other buttons on this side move to the bottom we have the proprietary info which is also a mini USB right here we have a 3.5 millimeter headphone jack for stereo headset we also have one of our microphones right here this is a stereo microphone device so this is the main calling for stereo or for speakerphone there's another microphone on the cycles will show you in a second we'll have our stylist a nonmagnetic stylist but when you pull it out it actually turns on the device as you can see we'll just turn off this now move on to the other side we have one of our other speakers for conference calling move on to the back of the device we have a lanyard hole right here so if you want to put a strap on this device you can do that as well we have this global scene that's etched into the back of the device along with the brushed metallic bezel around the 3.2 megapixel camera and the mute button for the conference calling feature if we open up the back of the battery cover we have all of our normal equipment under here we of course head of our battery on this device we have a stereo speakers so one on each side of the camera this is also a notification LED so when the device is muted it will actually turn I think red we take off the battery we can pull out the stylus there's little instructions on here and how to get the sim card out this is a dual gsm and cdma device so it'll work pretty much anywhere in the world we can just pop that out put it back in right here we have a slot for a microSD card so it can support 32 gigabytes of memory we also have the reset button underneath the battery cover so it's a little bit annoying to have to take off the battery cover and push the reset button so just close up this here also if you want to put the cover back on for some odd reason it's a little bit easier to take out the stylus and just put it back in and open up the device we have a keyboard it's a standard Cordy five row keyboard and it works very well I'm actually surprised of how well the keyboard is it's a little bit different than some of the other touch pro tues some of the button configurations are a little bit different like for instance the of the function one is a tilde opposed to an exclamation mark so if i compare this device to a few other devices we have the newly released samsung omnia here and as you can see the screen is a little bit smaller on the touch pro 2 than it is on the omnia it's also a little bit thicker as you can tell right here it's a little bit thicker than the samsung omnia and about the same width so if you look at that one a little bit different than the sprint touch pro 2 + button configurations but i'll go into that in a video later on the original touch pro a little bit thinner then they touch pro the keyboard of course it does tilt up on the newer device opposed to the older device close that and an xperia x1 screen is a little bit larger on the touch pro two opposed to this one also button configurations and is about the same thickness as the xperia x1 and the for a credit card sized object it is a little bit taller than a credit card let's see it's about almost two centimeters taller than a credit card nearly the same width about one millimeter to wider than a credit card sized object so be sure to follow us on the software tour coming up next on the verizon touch pro2 and shortly i will be featuring a comparison of the cdma gsm hybrid touch pro tues for verizon and sprint thanks for watching
