Retrolicious Olympus E-P1 Micro Four Thirds Camera Unboxed, Goosed in UK

The wonderfully retro Olympus E-P1, recently fondled by the hands of beautiful Chinese models, has been subsequently unboxed and fondled by the rough hands of some lucky guy in the U.K. https://gizmodo.com/olympus-e-p1-micro-four-thirds-camera-goes-legit-with-1-5292179 We get a good look at the interchangeable lenses, the rig itself, as well as a shot of the pretty pedestrian box. As…

CrunchPad Prototype Caught Taking Off Box And Baring All

This is a rumored "extremely recent" look at a CrunchPad prototype. What do we learn? First, the demo man says the tablet will be out by this year, "for sure." The other is that the video guy is a klepto. The sharp, colorful packaging isn’t quite what people will see on launch day, but it’s…

Video: Palm Pre Unboxed

We don’t know where, when, or by whom this was filmed, but it looks very real to us, confirming our earlier suspicions that the Pre will be packaged in a box. Update: https://gizmodo.com/palm-pre-box-shots-leak-suggest-pre-will-come-in-box-5249934 It’s from CES says Josh T. It’s the same difference to me, because I am indifferent to unboxing, but if this isn’t…

Lucky Nikon D5000 Owner Unboxes, Tests His Kit A Day Early

Flickr user Kadath got his mitts on the Nikon D5000 a day before Amazon is scheduled to make the new kit available to the masses, so of course he unboxed it and took test shots. https://gizmodo.com/the-nikon-d5000-ships-april-27-5225948 Judging from all those CB radios car stereos in his Flickr set, this D5000 might be stolen.

How Do You Feel About Unboxings?

We’ve stayed away from unboxings lately—in the last year or two—but we wanted to get your take on them. How do you feel, as a reader, about our unboxings? https://gizmodo.com/weirdo-unboxes-wifes-breast-pump-220240 Here are the two sides of the argument. On the one hand, we feel that unboxings convey no real information (who cares about people taking…

Question of the Day: Do You Get a Thrill From Unboxing Gadgets?

You know that old saying how the anticipation of an event can be greater than the event itself? Well, that seems to be allure behind unboxing. It is that magical moment where expectation meets the acquisition of the object you desire—and it can last as long as it takes to excavate your new toy from…

T-Mobile G1 Unboxed, Ready For Belt Clips Everywhere

Here’s the first full unboxing of T-Mobile’s G1 Android phone which, despite the rabid anticipation of the device, manages to be pretty boring. We’re glad to see it out in the wild, but the lame carrying case and decision to include the trademark uncomfortable HTC earphones, complete with a chunky mic. But as my mother…

The Most Realistic Unboxing of All Time

Product unboxings are generally sterile affairs, boiled down to Hollywoodesque over-simplicity, ignoring blister packs and steel-impervious plastic for magically opened, perfectly photographed gadgets. Well, here’s a real unboxing made for the rest of us. And to the average male Giz reader, the clip evokes the same vicarious pain of watching a guy get kicked in…

BlackBerry Bold Unboxed with Barely Controlled Enthusiasm

CrackBerry has a video unboxing of the BlackBerry Bold from Rogers, showing it side-by-side with other BlackBerry phones as well as the King iPhone. No real surprises here, as the Bold hasn’t changed since our hands-on, but it’s always nice to see a shiny new gadget emerge from its cardboard home. [Crackberry]

Uncrating the First Surface Table in Australia

Unlike many gadgets, the Microsoft Surface Table isn’t something that a lot of consumers get a chance to unbox for themselves.

White iPhone 3G Unboxed, Definitely White

Is This the First iPhone 3G Unboxing?

A poster over at iPhonePortugal has revealed some photos of what they claim is the first iPhone 3G unboxing. Apparently it’s the 8GB version, and it certainly looks it, with its rounded back already carrying fingerprint smudges. The packaging is pretty convincing too, though we wonder about the folded-paper look on parts of it. Plus…

Ugliest iPhone Box Apple Never Designed

Here’s a fake of an iPhone 2 Unboxing. Yeah, I don’t even think Apple considers using cardboard in their boxes unless it’s covered in a glossy finish. Ordinarily, I wouldn’t post something like this, but I think we can use this as an example of what happens when non fanboys get in on the fake…

HTC Touch Diamond Unboxed, Looks Diamondy

We got hands-on time with the HTC Diamond when it was released, but nothing beats taking photos at home under optimal lighting conditions.

Alas, Poor RAZR, I Knew You Well

Yetro is something so unfashionable it has yet to be retro—and probably will never be. Example: my RAZR. I’ve had it for almost three years now. I hate it. Actually, hate is too strong a word. I pity it. My mobile phone with its nauseous blue-painted interface, its ability to change its ring tone to…
