HTC Jetstream Unboxing

2011-10-17
what's up everyone John right you're from TechnoBuffalo here with an unboxing of the latest tablet to grace AT&T airwaves this is the HTC built Jetstream let's go ahead unbox it and see if it can take off no all right so here is the HTC Jetstream one of the first devices and AT&T s line up to sport not only that 4G logo which you see with the HSPA+ but those LTE right below it those three letters so very very very important unfortunately we don't have LTE in many markets but if you're looking to pick up the Jetstream hopefully you will have LTE in your market at some point in the near future AT&T said they've got a pretty aggressive rollout plan so here's a tablet we'll run through all the specs in a few minutes HTC Jetstream there's a picture of the jet stream on the back 4G broadband Android 3.1 honeycomb of course 10.1 inch HD widescreen HTC French stream and a full HTML browser this is running a skinned version of honeycomb with HTC Sense sitting on top of it alright so let's go ahead and dig in we'll go through the rest of the specs as we go this was sent right from HTC it looks like this guy's been unboxed before the second unboxing I suppose alright so here is the tablet and I have not seen one these guys yet in person so I'm kind of curious all right doesn't want to come out I'll shake it out I'm shaking right now because can't see it okay so here is the Jetstream push it off to the side for just a minute see we're gonna get in the Box got a power cord and it looks to be proprietary power as is the case with most of the honeycomb tablets out there most tablets in general they require more power than micro USB can give but for syncing you do have a micro USB cable Quick Start Guide HTC Jetstream all that kind of business and some other warranty information in there blah blah blah let's look at the jet stream itself let's power it on hopefully there's enough juice and I will run through the specs power on boom HTC okay so as I mentioned earlier we were looking at Android 3.1 this is being powered by an incredibly capable 1.5 gigahertz dual-core processor for those of you keeping track at home it's the apq 80/60 processor i read that from notes i got next to me android 3.1 honeycomb 32 gigs of internal storage one gig of ram this guy has a 10.1 inch capacitive touchscreen with a resolution of 1280 by 800 LTE support a huge beefy battery 7330 milliamp hours of course HTC Sense let's go ahead and take a look at the butt of this guy boom what we were looking at right there next to an LED flash is an 8 megapixel 1080p camera which can shoot video at 30 frames per second it's actually dual LEDs and on the front none of that vga business we have a 1.3 megapixel shooter it's capable of being used with HTC scribe pen so you can draw right on it with a sort of passive magnet magnet magnet magnet magnetic that's the word magnetic stylus that you can use to write notes or draw pictures or all kinds of business this is the HTC scribe pen will take a look at this guy in the review we did cover it a bit in the HTC Flyer overview alright so all this sounds pretty awesome right you ready for the kicker let's talk about the price this guy and this is not a exaggeration it's going to cost six hundred and ninety nine dollars with contract if you want to buy it without a contract it's gonna cost you eight hundred and forty nine dollars $699 the contract eight hundred and forty nine dollars without a contract he wants us guy also has support though for HSPA+ so that's a plus alright so let's walk around the tablet here on the top got a 3.5 millimeter headset jack your power and lock button living right there hello nothing on that site to say what's the top or the bottom of each tab we can see all Orion on the bottom here there's that proprietary charging port got a microphone down there volume rocker up and down interesting thing about this proprietary charging port you can plug in both the power or a micro USB cord into that same port batteries sealed in here it is a brushed aluminum look pretty substantial speaker this is not Beats Audio despite HTC higher down on some devices but this is a very capable tablet if you're not gonna be scared from the price you are gonna get a capable tablet here so let's take a quick look and HTC Sense which I have not seen yet on a tablet Wow doing it's all kind of weather thing it looks like I do have service it says 4G we don't have LTE in Southern California so that is HSP plus variety let's go ahead dig in and let's go to TechnoBuffalo comm and see what things look like so being an Android device we'll have full support for flash to be able to get websites and apps as they were meant to be done and with a gig of ram and a 1.5 gigahertz processor you're not gonna have any sort of slow down this guy should be an absolute screamer it's one of the best SPECT tablets actually on the market so we'll bring this down just a little bit and with the high resolution screen 1280 by 800 things should be pretty crisp and clear so there's this test I always run pages still loading button HSPA+ it is loading pretty fast some interesting tweaks here to the web browser at HTC adits you've got everything right across here tab search bookmarks and menu you can see all that kind of business let's go ahead and jump back home see what other kind of honeycomb tweaks we're going to have here both the tasking still the same that we've seen I really like how Android handles multitasking especially on the honeycomb operating system I like the way it looks it's visually appealing and it's really handy to use so let's see what some of the widgets we got here think of bookmarks widget all the stuff we've seen on other HTC Sense devices so you can find a blank homescreen and check out some the other widgets hey look at that I do scroll around you get sort of that carousel pick one you can see all your home screens so we can pinch out there's a blank home screen and let's go ahead and look at our widgets so it will jump on over to all widgets well a lot of calendar options here too calculator really handy to have a calculator so you have a ton of different choices calendar this is one of my favorite HTC widgets the calendar options looks like they translated over pretty nicely to the tablet operating system and a lock clock and your switch from widgets apps and shortcuts is now down here a lot of clocks a lot of clocks that is a ridiculous amount of clocks some featured apps footprints friend channel french stream Gmail and Google search HTC likes mail a lot of other goodness here go ahead and jump on over to app see if we get any other HTC goodness it's a lot HTC goodness HTC goodness it just it makes good stuff navigation awesome and that's a free addition to Android it's actually one my favorite Android features that I mentioned this over and over again but I think it goes into the radar at most people on any Android device there at least any modern Android device you're getting a free turn-by-turn navigation with voice directions there's no subscription you got to pay no $5.99 a month built your carrier and it works really well the voice is kind of robotic but who cares it works and it's awesome so if you're like me and you get lost trying to get home that really that sells and for me I don't got a lot of great features but for someone who gets lost that is just a must-have so Polaris Office is gonna be included in here so you can go ahead and open up like your office applications that's great let's go ahead and see what else we got in the apps department HTC hub it's where does he eat GC hub so you needed a sense accountant signed in I'm used to seeing HTC hub on Windows Phone 7 wrong button and go ahead you can personalize it actually take a look at that so you can personalize the different scenes here pick what's best for you so social HTC or AT&T current let's go ahead and jump to HTC and see what that looks like go loading whenever I guess funny story whenever I go skiing and I'm on a ski lift or snowboarding or something and you get off the chairlift and just prepare to unload my the only one that ever laughs every time I see that so just three dozen skin students we have wallpaper different scenes you have skins here as well lock screen so different lock screens so this isn't it's going take a look at the lock screen this is one other thing I like about HTC Sense especially on phones trying to open an application you can just drag it right into there and you'll launch directly to the application you want it and you can set what you like to have there so pretty neat so we run through a full review of this guy and all kinds of other jet stream business so leave a comment down below anything that you want to see in particular for a quick size comparison I'm gonna go ahead and zoom the camera out a little bit with hopefully not making you guys nauseous in the process I'll then making a promises now let's do a size comparison with snap pet to take if we see a difference here in the orientations this is the sixteen by nine so you'll see video so that was meant to be seen on a widescreen then this standpoint this is definitely thinner tablet this guy arguably more SPECT though packing more business in here so this is the jet stream are you guys interested in the jet stream can you get past a price as a price not matter to you are you waiting for the inevitable price cut I'll be curious what you guys have to say then you guys picked one of these things up they are available now from AT&T either online store or Best Buy Amazon or you're asking your grandma for Christmas whatever a lot of ways to get it you can get it now John Rhett enjoy from TechnoBuffalo and
