what's up guys jon rettinger john for lakers calm here with an unboxing for you of the treo pro by palm it's an unlocked device it's not out on any carrier so you have to buy it direct from palm and it's unlocked for gsm networks so if you're in the US AT&T and t-mobile 3g lonely work for AT&T by the edge will work fine on t-mobile I explain more of the video enjoy the unboxing and use it for a little while and give you guys a nice fat review have a good one I guess one last thing this is recorded before the minnow HD so ignore the black bars over here you can't see my hands but goes behind the black bars by yes alright guys let's go ahead and get to the unboxing here is the palm treo pro is available directly through palm and only able to be purchased as a gsm unlock device meaning it has not been picked up by any carrier yet and this is right now a gsm-only device some real quick specs on it it's got a 320 x 320 screen so it means it's square it has hsdpa UMTS so that means it's 3g compatible it's actually only 3g compatible with AT&T network you can use it with tmobile but you'll only get edge speeds it's got Wi-Fi built-in gps bluetooth 256 megabytes of memory a 2 megapixel camera removable battery micro USB port 3.5 millimeter headset jack have a bunch of other goodies it really is a feature-packed windows mobile phone so without any further ado let's go ahead and get to the unboxing so here's the box it's got a picture of the device it's kind of got a weird slant to it it's actually if you hold it up sit sit a little bit of an angle it's kind of neat assign a device just lists list the specs err on the side of the box the back back view of the device and the side some more specs on it it really does have a very high quality field of the box since it's being sold directly from palm they don't have to agree to any carrier specifications for boxing's they really were able to do their own thing and they really did a nice job it has very nice feel to it reminds me of opening an apple product for example so it's got this sleeve that slides out here we've got the box again go ahead and open this up we're going to break the seal down here piece of tape and there we are with the device there's some orange like some orange a styrofoam up top and presented right here with the device will put that off to the side for just a second there's a hard plastic shelter pull that back I'm getting started guide with palm with the corner push in so you can grab it let's see what's in this getting started guide here a packaging is really nice definitely feels like you're opening a quality product so just some information on device looks like some information on Windows Mobile we've got us recycling program so I'm recycle some old phones and inside there's a sheet of plastic here it says palm on it if you can see and hear all the accessories actually kind of laid out with this weird orange paper let's see what we get in the box we've got a USB connector it looks like it's micro USB it's not mini USB but it's nice to see palm go with some sort of standard we've got like that's where the power cord plugged in there's a u.s. one so it probably just pops right in for charging and they also included a 3.5 millimeter set of headphones which are palm branded very nice pull that out of the box kind of slinks out of there and there's some legal information down there at the bottom go ahead and take a quick look at the phone itself it's got a really nice feel to it just on initial my first initial a touching of it it feels very high quality it's got very glossy looks like it's probably gonna be a fingerprint magnet you go ahead and zoom in a little bit here so you guys can see it all right it's got a full run facing Cordy keyboard very similar the other palm devices this is a little break from palm to go from their bulky kind of crotch poker design with the antennas to a really sleek thin design or they have to give them credit looks very nice let's go ahead and compare it to some other devices that are popular right now you've got the obligatory iphone comparison and we've got the just-released blackberry storm problems for next to each other you can see that the treo pro really stacks up actually quite nicely with them all so in a real quick size comparison the treo pro is definitely a little bit narrower than the iphone that looks to be almost identical thickness wise next to the storm it's for me a little bit less and narrow and it looks a little bit thinner than the storm two as well so guys I'm going to go ahead and use a device for a few days and give you guys a full review on it but I'm very impressed with palms design on this just on initial impressions they really did a solid work with it so let's actually it's walk through the device reel faster so we've got a full qwerty keyboard on the front we've got a send button a end button you've got your windows button a calendar button a mail button and an okay which is essentially a back button on the top of the device you've got the obligatory palm ring to vibrate switch and a power switch on the left side of the device we've got a volume up and down toggle and a soft key and on the right side of the Vice looks like we've got a voice dialing key on the back there's your micro USB in your 3.5 millimeter headset jack a little bit weird is on the bottom and on the back there is your camera with the nice palm branding and it's like there's a little speaker grill there too it did really nice to see a phone without any carrier branding on it i really enjoy zinc just a phone the way it was meant to be so guys like i said before i'll go ahead and do or use this for a while and give you guys review hope you enjoyed jon rettinger with john for
