can pull that off apart from the bottom there we go sticker removes all right open up the box and hear that you're going to get quick start guide letting you know how to start quickly a uverse mobile application this is kind of one of the cool things that Windows Phone 7 has if you have eighteen t u-verse you not have to pay an extra fee but if you don't have uverse and you can pay it believe it's going to be about 10 bucks a month I get access to a ton of online content you can actually download right to your device so go ahead and push that off to the side take the show on the road here is the HTC surround this has virtual BB digital mobile surround take a look at that in later video and demonstrate it but we'll push it off to the side for just a moment you are also going to get inside box the usual things I suppose limited warranty you've got a safety and regulatory information got your micro USB charging cable your wall port which is a pretty small actually well ports plugs right in got the battery i discussed top time let's see what milliamp hours it is typical HTC looking battery and this is going to be of size but i pulled off to the camera see if I can see here three point seven volts 1230 milliamp hours there it is and that is all you're going to get in the box actually the last thing I'm going to get is a pair of stereo headphones with mic alright so push that off to the side and let's take a look at the device so this does have a 3.8 inch screen the resolution of 480 x 800 of course capacitive touchscreen peel off texting and driving it can wait which of course it can and here it is guy typical array now of Windows Phone 7 button that are actually mandated by Microsoft you've got your back button your windows essentially your home button and a search button got on the left hand side of the device absolutely nothing on the right hand side device we have a volume rocker right there and a dedicated camera key one of the neat things about the device and i'll show you in just a minute we can also have the 5 megapixel camera with flash one of the cool things about the device actually slide it out you get this Dolby Digital virtual surround sound which clearly you can't have a surround sound with the phone but it really just makes things sound a lot crisper it might be saying why would somebody want this well if you're playing games on a device or watching movie you're going to get better sound where I see the most utility is using speakerphone on conference call I had a chance to demo this in New York and the speaker it sounds much less teeny than standard of smartphones so while the virtual surround sound you know it's questionable usage using this for conference calls are going to be fantastic and we slide it out you're also going to get access to this little kickstand so you can now stand it up while you're on your conference call or watching a movie or even playing a game with some sort of external accessory it's going to stand up nice and easily for you push it off to the side when the phone is slid down you don't have access to it sort of a new design the bottom you got your micro USB charging port and that is about it course you have your 3.5 millimeter headset jack and your lock and power button on top let's do a quick size comparison here with some of its friends here we've got the samsung focus also windows phone 7 powered and see the difference there instead the thickness test so the surround is a little bit thicker but it's probably taken up by that speaker let's go ahead and bring in an android phone of course this is the evo 4g 4.3 inch screen you can see a little bit of the difference right there and lastly let's bring in the iphone 4 for comparison purposes and see that they look relatively similar a slight design phones and we will do the stack and science compare here we'll make a big fat cell phone sandwich and see if we see any difference so there are all the sizes right there is the last one if i can fan it out is the surround and we guys be sure to stay tuned to the channel for a ton of coverage on all the windows phone 7 devices including the HTC surround i'll demonstrate how this virtual surround sound thing works and whether or not it lives up to its name that button right there in case you're wondering will turn that surround sound on or off hi guys i'm jon rettinger
