what's up everyone John retinue from TechnoBuffalo here with an unboxing of the Palm Pre - this is a sequel many years in the making but perhaps not the sequel people were looking for this is the GSM unlocked version let's go ahead and break the seal so the Palm Pre 2 is gonna come in two flavors right now it has an unlocked version which will work when the ATT's 3G network or t-mobile's edge network in the US only available unlocked and it's gonna cost you just about $500 there hasn't been a US carrier release on the GSM size however it's widely assuming that Verizon Wireless is going to carry the pre 2 on the CDMA side go ahead and use the big ol knife to break this seal here go ahead and hack on into that comes in a very big box what I assume they're going to be a small phone it will run through all the specs here once I can dig it out there we go so that's not the most eco-friendly packaging here is the palm free to box go ahead and push that off to the side let's go ahead and run through what to expect on this guy so it's got very similar form factor to the Palm Pre in the Palm Pre Plus 3.1 inch touchscreen the resolution of 320 by 480 this guy does have webOS 2.0 it's got a upgraded and one gigahertz processor five megapixel camera with LED flash and it's got Wi-Fi B&G no in here is anywhere to be found unfortunately you know palm made a fantastic offering system with webOS I think it's one of the best operating systems around those are gonna come to multitasking but it's hard to experience the goodness if you will of the OS when its hampered by really really crappy hardware like we saw I believe on the pre and the pre plus it was really last generation stuff that was released in a present generation market so we'll see if the pre two sort of fixes that and makes it a very enjoyable experience using an excellent operating system then pull off the little plastic sleeve here see we can do that it's always harder than it looks if I can push this guy out there we go so Palm Pre - there's a little bit of plastic here to break and there is indeed it'll bust out the knife again and cut this open hopefully this is gonna work yep all right let's go ahead and dig into this guy I have not seen one of these yet in person I will say just right now the first bat looks very similar to the original Palm Pre so a lot of people thought the Palm Pre - is what the pre plus should have been see what else we're going to get in the box I do like Palms packaging that's where that hard plastic shell lift it up and you've got all of your documentation pull that back I guess lift that thing up and there should be some there's another tab to pull there should be some sort of accessories in there which there are indeed we've got pull it out stereo headphones with mic we've got a very small wall to USB cable in there which not want to come out I'll fight for it there we go and we've got your micro USB charging cable and that's about it inside the box all right so enough of the accessories let's take a look at the phone itself here is the Palm Pre - and on first blush it feels very similar cut to the pretty plus it's got the touchstone inductive charging back let's go ahead and slide this up and see if the keyboard looks like looks almost identical here to the older version let's see if it feels any different the keys do have a bit more feel and throw to them it's got sort of now the soft touch of rubber sides this would be a bit harder to feel on the screen well I've definitely very dusty is now a made of Gorilla Glass couldn't push that off let's bring in the Palm Pre Plus and see if you guys can tell a difference if I pull off this plastic here very very very hard to tell which ones which especially if I take them off camera mix them up and put back on first blush you're gonna have a hard time telling other than maybe from a dust factor here that this is a pre to really the way to tell is by that rubber lip around it so I'm gonna use this guy for for a little while what you guys know what I think you know we'll power it on and do the whole Web OS boot up and see what this thing looks like and sort of see me right there hello it's got the mirror on the back there's the camera and you know what you guys know if this is gonna be a worthwhile investment it's certainly not a cheap phone I have to get since it is only available unlocked but it doesn't tie you into a contract so I know there are a lot of palm fans out there I'm John Breton German TechnoBuffalo and I'll just give you guys a tour of webOS 2.0 in an upcoming video bye bye one thing I didn't want to show is this guy's booting up we've gone through a handycam gorilla salad here I wanted to give you guys a quick tour of the device which are emitted in that first unboxing so on the left hand side you got volume up and down and the phone does feel very nice in the hand and sort of round a pebble s feel like it's prompting me to put in a SIM card on the right hand side there's the micro USB charging port a bottom we've got microphone on the top you've got the profile switcher to make go from vibrate to ring and a 3.5 millimeter headset jack guys now I really will see you the next video
