HTC Legend unboxing video

Last month saw the launch of a few new HTC devices, the HTC Legend being just of of them and it seems that this one will be the first to go on sale.

So the Legend review units seem to have started to arrive with various journalists over the past few days and ours arrived just about an hour or so ago. Wasting no time I’ve grabbed the camera and recorded an unboxing and demo video for you.

In the video I’ll take you on a tour of the hardware and then we’ll have a brief look at the operating system and user interface. I’ll record another video later on and will look at more of the applications in greater detail.

We’ll also have the full review for you once we’ve had time to give the Legend a thorough road test. As you know, we wont write a review of anything until we have been able to use it properly!

After the jump you’ll find the video as well as a couple of teaser photos…

Acer Aspire One D250 unboxing video

Android is definitely going from strength to strength finding its way on to ever more mobile phones from different manufacturers and other products such as the Archos 5 portable media player. Now, with the release of the Aspire One D250 we’re starting to see Android on netbooks too!

We’ve been reviewing quite a few laptops and netbooks lately and you may have seen the title of this post and thought I’m sure that tracyandmatt have reviewed the Aspire One already!?

However the model we are looking at here is one of the newer ones, released at the end of last year.

There are so many of these small form factor laptops/netbooks available now one is pretty much spoilt for choice and it’s often a difficult decision to make. Manufacturers are having to come up with new ways to make their own models stand out from the crowd so perhaps Acer have achieved this by making the Aspire One D250 run Android as well as Windows?!

Our Aspire One D250 review is underway but for now take a look at the unboxing and quick demo video below for a taster.

Sony Ericsson MBW-200 Bluetooth Watch unboxing video

Something a little out of the ordinary for you for a Sunday afternoon. There are tons of Bluetooth devices out there and there have been a number of Bluetooth watches in the past so when I first heard about the Sony Ericsson MBW-200 I thought it would be some ugly, chunky affair that no-one would be seen dead wearing. However, further research in to the product revealed something quite different. The MBW-200 looks quite like an ‘ordinary’ watch, pretty attractive and functional as a timepiece without being to large or overly garish.

I decided to ask Sony Ericsson if I could have one to look at. I think the request surprised them, they even queried that I meant the Bluetooth watch when I asked for the MBW-200!

Whilst there wont be a full blown review of the MBW-200 I will write up my thoughts and comments of the watch once I have had chance to give it a proper try.

Take a look at the unboxing video I recorded below, you’ll see a quick ‘tour’ of the watch as well as seeing how it charges and the overall packaging, which I think is really decent. I’d say it would make a decent gift for anyone that loves their gadgets!

Samsung B3410 unboxing video

Samsung released the B3410, also known as the CorbyPlus or the Delphi, at the end of last year. It seems to have become a pretty popular pay as you go handset. With it’s sliding QWERTY keyboard and decent size display it seems to be one to appeal to those that send a lot of text messages or use social networks apps such as Twitter or Facebook.

With its Hybrid Touch & QWERTY layout with a variety messaging and multimedia features, the Samsung B3410 is the perfect companion for socially active youth who want fast, convenient connection with family and friends. Complete with slide out qwerty keypad, Samsung B3410 provides optimised SMS, MMS and email support, a threaded message inbox, easy access to SNS, Support for multiple IM services and Bluetooth messaging.

However, with no 3G connectivity and having its own Java based OS, does the B3410 have a broader appeal and what experience does it offer? Well the full review will be here for you within the next few days but until then check out the unboxing and brief demo video below for a taster…

Palm Pre demo video

We waited and waited for a Palm Pre and finally those nice folks at Palm have kindly sent us one!

I have completed the review and it will be here in the next day or so, but in the meantime here is a little teaser in the form of a video. Like we have done with a few other popular devices, below you will find a short video of me showing a few of the Palm Pre’s features and apps, as well as comparing the Pre with a couple of other Palm devices. I think this follows on nicely from Matt’s Pre unboxing video that you may have already seen.

Did I like the Pre?

Well, you will just have to keep an eye on the site to see the review! If you don’t follow us on Twitter please do so and we will tweet as soon as the full review is live. http://twitter.com/tracyandmatt
