Samsung Omnia Pro unboxing video

The Samsung Omnia Pro will be the second Omnia branded handset that we’ll look at this week as the Omnia Lite review is already under way.

The Samsung Omnia Pro

The Samsung Omnia Pro B7330 (Aka Pro Scala) is one of any a few Windows Mobile Standard handsets out there at the moment, even fewer are of the forward-facing QWERTY keyboard design. The Omnia Pro goes pretty much head-to-head with the HTC Snap which has been around a little while now.

The Samsung Omnia Pro ships with Windows Mobile 6.5 Standard, you need to upgrade the Snap to get to 6.5, and is a good looking handset. There’s isn’t a great deal of difference between WinMo 6.1 Standard and WinMo 6.5 Standard visually, the difference is no where near as obvious as Professional 6.1 vs Professional 6.5 but there are a number of differences under the hood.

James is reviewing the Samsung Omnia Pro at the moment and will undoubtedly be comparing it to his HTC Snap. We”ll have the review for you soon.  Until then we’ll leave you with the unboxing video below.

Sony Ericsson Aino unboxing video

Last week our friends over at Clove Technology sent over the Sony Ericsson Aino for us to take a look at. First impressions were that it was much like any other slider-style handset, it has a 3″ limited functionality touch-screen a numeric pad under the sliding screen and 8.1 mega pixel digital camera. It’s not until you turn the Aino on that you realise that the screen is a little different to your average mobile – it’s a full 16.7 million colour display. Now you may wonder if that makes any difference and looking at the spec, I wondered the same, but when you watch video or look at photos on this handset, there’s a clear difference.

The Sony Ericsson Aino

As well as having that lovely display, the other thing that sets the Aino apart is that it comes complete with a mini docking station and a bluetooth headset with media controls. An excellent idea!

So we’re in the middle of reviewing the Sony Ericsson Aino at the moment and we’ll have that for you over the next week or so. For now then take a look at the unboxing video to see what’s included.

Today you want more than just the facility to make calls and send text messages and email from your phone.  With the Sony Ericsson Aino, the limits of mobile communication and connectivity are taken to a whole new level.

With the Aino you can keep up to date with the latest videos and music with the ‘Media Go’software.  It helps you transfer, play and organise all your music, photos, videos and podcasts from your PC simply and effortlessly to enjoy directly on the Aino via a WiFi connection. No more wires, no more searchig – always the latest fun.

Control your Playstation 3 and access its media content on your Sony Ericsson Aino anywhere, anytime using Remote Play.  Connect to your Playstation3 by using the Internet or 3G. For TV lovers there is the ability to enjoy the PlayTV service on Playstation 3.  Watch, pause and record live TV from a huge range of free channels all from the Aino, while on the go.

Watch the movies with the crystal clear 3 inch screen and listen to music in superb quality and with increased freedom – thanks to the stylish Wireless Stereo Headphone MH100 and matching Charging Stand EC100 included with Aino.  This powerful phone offers a full range of exciting features to support the entertainment experiences on the phones such as, an 8.1 megapixel camera.

HTC HD2 retail unboxing video

Yesterday I have a nice ‘gift’ from our friends over at devicewire.com, the HTC HD2 which is now the full and final retail version.

The HTC HD2

This is just a quick unboxing video of the retail version of the HTC HD2 so that you can see what’s included in the final package. If you want to see the HTC HD2 in more detail or for a full tour of the user interface and a few of the applications please look at our HTC HD2 demonstration video that I recorded earlier this week.

James and I are jointly working on the HD2 review so that we can get it online for you reasonably quickly, we were waiting for the retail version to complete the review incase of any changes. We’ll have that for you soon so please do check the site regularly.

EDIT: Our extensive HTC HD2 review is now live on site.

Powermat unboxing video

A few months ago, when we were away in the US we went to one of my favourite shops, Best Buy, and saw a huge display of Powermat products. I’d heard about the technology which is basically wireless inductive charging, but to that point hadn’t seen a product to make use of it.

The Powermat essentially comes in two parts. The mat itself, available in office/home and portable versions, and a ‘receiver’ unit. The receiver comes in a variety of forms from a simple Powercube that comes with the Powermat allowing you to charge USB devices to a selection of ‘jackets’ to fit iPhone, Blackberry and Nintendo DS.

The nice people from Powermat sent me over a review unit to take a look at so in the video below you’ll see the home/office version of the Powermat as well as the Powercube and a receiver/dock for the iPhone/iPod.

There are many other receiver units available so head over to the Powermat site to see if they make one for your favourite device.

No more tangled mess of cords or searching for the right adaptor, simply place your enabled device on the Powermat to charge. Featuring a full range of wireless charging solutions for all your favorite devices, Powermat is compatible with iPhone, BlackBerry, MP3 players, cell phones, headsets, hand held electronic games, digital cameras, and GPS units. Whether you charge at home, at the office, on the road, or in all of these places, Powermat has a solution for you.

HTC HD2 demonstration video

Yesterday we unboxed the HTC HD2 and promised you a video demo of the user interface and some applications, well here’s the video!

Obviously we’ve only picked out a couple of things to look at else the video would have been a week long but we’ll comment on more of the apps and general usage when we come to do the full HD2 review later this week.

As I said in the previous post, please keep your questions about the HD2 coming and we’ll try to answer them either straight away or in the review itself. You can submit your questions via the HD2 forum thread.

EDIT: Our extensive HTC HD2 review is now live on site.
