hey guys jon rettinger with john for lakers calm with an exclusive unboxing for you of the samsung SGH i907 also known as the samsung epix on a tease network this phone is not replacing my iphone it was just sent to me as a review unit for a couple weeks so i'll use it play around with it on the weekends for a day or two and let you guys know what i think and then send it back so let's go ahead and go over the specs here again it's on 18 tease network it's running windows mobile 6.1 it's tri-band UMTS hsdpa it's got 256 megabytes internal rom and up to 150 megabytes internal ram it's got a 320 x 320 screen qwerty keyboard with an optical mouse actually it's got an 1800 milliamp hour battery GPS Bluetooth media player and all kinds of other good stuff so I'm not really a Windows Mobile guys this will be interesting to use for a little while and see what I think but i'll give you guys an honest review of it so let's go ahead and get to the unboxing first thing i will show you guys the box here let's go ahead and move this down so here is the box with the SGH i907 on the front AT&T logo letting you know that has Wi-Fi gps and male capable and has a camera top of the box same thing same logos and some more branding on the back we've got some product specs on the side just some AT&T business the other side's made T&T business so let's go ahead and open this bad boy up and see what we have and this is the first time this is being opened we've got looks like a getting started guide just some windows mobile stuff which I'm going to need cuz i am not terribly familiar with Windows Mobile at all getting started CD with windows mobile 6.1 software probably going to use Windows via bootcamp to sink this with anything got a quick start guide probably going to need that as well and here is the good stuff so let's see what they threw in here looks like a proprietary adapter Samsung's proprietary port to a 3.5 millimeter headset jack listening to music probably never use up like a seeking cable here again Samsung's weird flat you proprietor USB to regular USB the wall charger nothing fancy there just a wall charger battery whoa this is a monster monster battery here um think it's thick I'll show you guys a size comparison here so here is the iphone by comparison the battery is to get that lined up there thicker than the iphone so let's say big battery 1800 milliamp hours should get you through a full day and a half of solid 3g browsing so i'll be nice put that off to the side here's the device itself go ahead and move the camera up here and i'll show you so this is the samsung going to take it out of the plastic here it's thicker than i expected it to be okay so i'll give you guys a real quick walkthrough of it this thing right here it's actually an optical trackpad it treats it almost like a trackpad on a laptop you move your finger around a little cursor here will show up and you can move it you can also turn that off and treat it like a d-pad just go up or down left or right and it is actually a full touchscreen phone it looks like the black jack and the blackjack two people are calling it actually the blackjack 3 but that's not the official name again it's the epochs so touch screen with what i believe is half the feedbacks i mean when you touch the screen and give you a little bit of vibrating and this one features what's called a resistive screen meaning it registers touches by pushing two layers of film together not like the capacitive screen on the iphone which he made of glass and is used through electron transfer this actually feels a little bit squishing you have to actually push down so let's see what else we got on the device here there's the front of it obviously with a full qwerty keyboard and some shortcut buttons down on the bottom for internet for calendar for phone and for email on the loose left side device here we've got a power button right there and volume toggle up and down on the right side it's like there's the charging port and the headphone port right there we all this will also take up to a 16 gigabyte microSD card which is apparently hot swappable right on the side they didn't think I didn't get that one of those included here sent to me by AT&T spr just to review i'll be getting actually a couple phones coming through here to show you guys so something new for the john for lakers people out of getting a little tired of the apple stuff back the phone pretty clean back with a two megapixel camera and go ahead and open this thing up here and see what looks like in the back inside is pretty much all battery and a little spot for sim card close that up i'll give you guys a size comparison with but i usually compare size wise the iphone it's going to move this down so here is the samsung epix which actually available now on AT&T i believe for 199 with a two-year upgrade and here is the iphone you can see size-wise they're just about the same will stack them on top there not much difference stack on the other way so you can see I bones maybe a little bit wider thickness the epics definitely has the thickness category one it is appears to be significantly thicker than the iphone but it will be interesting to see what it's like to have an actual hardware qwerty keyboard again I've gotten used to not having that for the past few years on the iphone so guys jon rettinger with john for lakers calm with a unboxing for you of the samsung epix i'll do a first boot up video and i'll do a review video for you guys and let you know what i think so i hope you enjoy leave some questions and again this is just a review unit not replacing any of my current phones just going to give it a shot for a little while and let you guys know what I think dr. guys soon bah
