We're still waiting for our HTC HD2 review unit to drop, but somewhere in the world there must be a secret supply of the promising Windows Phone as SoloPalmari have managed to acquire one for a swift unboxing. Your home experience won't quite be the same as this - they admit this isn't the final packaging, in fact - but considering we'll gobble up just about any live HD2 footage we can find, you won't hear us arguing.

‘unboxing’ Stories
HTC HD2 gets video unboxing, stokes lusts
Samsung Moment first-impressions
It’s not the first time we’ve played with the Samsung Moment, but today we’ve had the chance to take Sprint’s newest smartphone away and unbox it. The Moment is the carrier’s second Android handset (after the non-QWERTY HTC Hero), packing a slide-out keyboard, 3.2-inch AMOLED touchscreen and both EVDO Rev.A and WiFi b/g. Check out our hands-on gallery, unboxing video and some first-impressions of the Samsung Moment after the cut.
Apple new iMac first-impressions
There’s been plenty of rumor and speculation over the past few months, but Apple have finally unveiled their updated iMac desktops, and we’ve already got the 27-inch model here to review. Already up for sale in the Apple Store for $1,699, our review unit has a 3.06GHz Intel Core 2 Duo processor, 4GB of DDR3 memory and ATI Radeon HD4670 graphics. After the cut, our image gallery with some hands-on first impressions.
Apple new MacBook first-impressions
With their entry-level MacBook sticking at $999, Apple have obviously decided that avoiding the price-race to the bottom is no way to better the last quarter’s excellent financial performance. We’ve just picked up our 13.3-inch polycarbonate MacBook review unit, and to be frank we can’t blame them; it’s a little thicker and a little heavier than the 13.3-inch MacBook Pro, but it’s also quite a bit cheaper, too.
Apple Magic Mouse hands-on
While the new 27-inch iMacs may be Apple’s eye-catchers, especially in Apple Stores, it’s the company’s new Magic Mouse peripheral that will find its way to the most desks. By junking the trackball of the Mighty Mouse and replacing it with a touch-sensitive surface, Apple have not only catered for the demands of desktop users calling out for multitouch, but bypassed ongoing reliability frustrations of the mechanical ball. After the cut, our live Magic Mouse gallery together with some hands-on first impressions.
HTC Tattoo video unboxing & first-impressions
The HTC Tattoo may not have the flagship appeal of the HTC Hero, but with its entry-level positioning it has the potential to introduce a lot more users to the Android platform. HTC have kept costs down by choosing a smaller display and using a restive touchscreen, though you still get HSPA, WiFi b/g, GPS and the company’s latest UI enhancements. A Tattoo landed on SlashGear’s desk today; check out our video unboxing, first-impressions and comparison gallery with the HTC Hero after the cut.

Nokia N900 video unboxing
The Nokia N900 was the stand-out device from Nokia World back in September, and we’ve been tracking the Maemo 5 smartphone ever since. Imagine our surprise, then, when a pre-release N900 dropped onto the SlashGear test bench today; the hardware is final, so the 5-megapixel autofocus Carl Zeiss camera is onboard, together with HSPA, WiFi b/g, a 3.5-inch 800 x 480 touchscreen and slide-out QWERTY keyboard, and you can check out our video unboxing and gallery after the cut.
Thermaltake Level 10 case gets unboxing
Thermaltake's Level 10 PC case is half monolith to computing excess and half work of art, and we've been hoping the company would greenlight a production run since we first spotted it. Happily that's now happening, and if you'd like to see what $700 of chassis looks like then MaximumPC have the unboxing for you.

Sharp NetWalker PC-Z1 lands for unboxing, MID comparison
Sharp's NetWalker PC-Z1 may not be the device for everyone - after all, a 5-inch touchscreen clamshell MID with a tiny QWERTY keyboard and 800MHz ARM Cortex A8 processor makes it a pretty niche handheld - but most people can appreciate a mini-laptop so we're pleased to see the first unboxing over at Pocketables. Jenn of course is no stranger to MIDs, in fact she has a UMID mbook M1 on hand to compare the PC-Z1 with.

FunTwist Fiono 330 Ion-based nettop gets video unboxing
FunTwist isn't a name we're particularly used to hearing, but the company's latest nettop - the Fiono 330 - shares the exclusivity of being one of the few such desktops with NVIDIA's Ion chipset inside. Quietly released in Japan last month, Netbooked picked up the compact PC and delivered a video unboxing which you can see after the cut.

AT&T 3G MicroCell lands with buyers, unboxed
We could argue whether it's AT&T's oft-appalling network performance or simply basic femtocell curiosity that's driving interest in the carrier's 3G MicroCell, but either way there's an unboxing online. Confirmed as trialling in Charlotte, North Carolina (and nowhere else yet, unfortunately), one lucky owner has documented his new-toy experience on Flickr.

Sony Ericsson XPERIA X3 unboxing? Looks fake to us
Do you love Sony Ericsson enough to fake an unboxing of their upcoming Android smartphone? Now there's no official confirmation that mobile-nova's unboxing set of the Sony Ericsson XPERIA X3 - aka "Rachel" - isn't legitimate, but having peered through our handy loupe at the pictures we're not convinced that this is the real deal.
