HTC Wildfire Unboxing | Pocketnow By Pocketnow

Hey guys its Jeff Farina with pocket now calm, and it's time to unbox the HTC Wildfire smartphone. The Wildfire is an Android device that is really geared toward the budget-minded consumer, with a very little price tag in a very affordable price tag for an unlocked smartphone. So, rather than keep you waiting, let's just go ahead and jump right into that. Unboxing! Alright, and we are back and as you see right here, we have the shipping package with the HTC Wildfire here in the shipping envelope. So let's go ahead and rip this guy open. This is a true unboxing.

It really puts you here with us as we do the unboxing. So we do get the package start just with a little easier to open all right now. The box itself is very small. Well, let them say very small, but it's smaller than most, and that is because this device is a smaller form factor than in most as well. Looking at the box right now, I'll actually zoom in a little.

So you can kind of get a better picture here, as you can see it as a bunch of faces all over the box. This box actually has a striking resemblance to the palm design to a palm and initially had changed you with some of their other devices. Now looking at the box itself, it got and gives us some highlights here now it does incorporate HTC Sense. So it's going to talk about the French stream. The fact that you can personally recommend your apps.

You have the widgets, which is your know, a benefit of the Android. You have the widgets, which are a benefit of the Android OS, as well as the caller, ID, etc. , etc. Now the main thing here that you want to take a look at is actually some of these specifications. It's a five hundred twenty-eight megahertz CPU, which is a little slower than what we're used to at this point in time.

Once again, it is a more consumer friendly device which that means with lower price, comes lower spec. It is preloaded with Android 2.1 as well as HTC Sense. Now the main thing you do want to take away from here is that it is a 3.2 inch touchscreen. So it's a little smaller than most of the phones that we've been using as of late, such as the Samsung Galaxy S and the HTC for gee. Now, let's go ahead and cut the tape and get this guy fully open.

Now the box just slides, right, open right here to actually show you your device. Now we've actually gone ahead and opened the box up. It shares a very striking resemblance to the Google Nexus One packaging granted it is smaller to the smaller device, but the packaging itself is very, very similar to that. There's also some design sense here that you can see from the Nexus One now once again, here's the box. We will put this box aside, and we'll get to the phone laughs, we're actually going to make you wait on that, give it a little of a cliffhanger, and we'll get into what's in the box first.

So, if we have some manuals from HTC to contact us manual, some warranty all that fun stuff that you get with every box. We're going to have the adapters themselves and these are going to be the UK type power adapters. Because again, this is an unlocked phone. So, as you see here, we have the UK prongs now for charging. It does use the micro USB they're, also going to give you the sync cable for that, so you can actually plug this guy into your computer.

Sync it up this way as well as charge it, so there's your micro, USB, cable right there, and they're also going to give you a set of headphones in the box itself, which look to have a play/pause and possibly an answer phone and hang up on the phone call as well as a microphone all right. Now. We're actually gone ahead and get to the meat of this unboxing here, which is the HTC Wildfire itself. As you can see here, there's a smaller device, a smaller form factor, we're gonna, have a nice little change of design. On the back now, we're going to pop the battery out just to be sure that it is in fact in there and sitting correctly, just we can turn this on.

Give you a startup for the first time. So then we did check is the batteries, and they almost like a little sled plastic sled. So it doesn't turn on while it's shipping, which is actually kind of a little cool design. That way the battery is already in the device itself. Now we will go into more detail on the hardware itself in our hardware overview video, but for now we're just going to go ahead and turn it on just so you get the nice HTC logo, splash screen and right off the bat it does feel very similar to the Nexus One.

It looks very similar to the Nexus One, it's a little shorter because it is a smaller device. However, it definitely shares a lot of the same design sense here, alright, and we are now fully booted up, and it wants us to select our primary language and, of course, we're going to go ahead and select English here, and it's going to tell us to remove the back cover and insert the SIM card. I'm going to skip this step for now, just because we're NASA put the sim card in just, yet I'm going to skip the on-screen tutorial just so we can kind of get into showing you the phone itself right off the bat. Of course, it is equipped with Wi-Fi. We will worry about that later on, and it's asking if we would like to use all of Google's settings the time and the date we're going to skip for now as well, because the sim card, once we connect to the AT&T network, it will automatically pull that down, and they do tell you to.

You know connect with Facebook with Flickr right off the bat, so it really kind of gives the basic users the people who don't already know to go ahead and do that a little of a tip to say, hey, you know you can get this much more out of your device by doing this, etc. , etc. So now we can get the helicopter view. Is it just mentioned by pinching in and out I should see right there, which will give us a total of seven screens and, of course we have the ability to swipe left and right, and is your typical HTC Sense. That's one of the nice things about, since a lot of people say that it canceled on the phone and that sort of thing, because it is a skin.

It definitely is one of the more intense skins out there. However, the nice thing about it is it's very consistent. If you change from any HTC to another HTC device, you're going to have cents on there, so it's like picking up the same phone, it's in a different form, factor or footprint. What we're going to do now is go ahead and get this guys set up, and we'll bring you some more videos coming very soon. Stay tuned for our software overview, our hardware overview and then our second software overview, followed by a final review.

Once again, this has been the HTC Wildfire stay tuned. Please give us a thumbs up, thanks. Everyone.
