HP's iPAQ 100 series gets unboxed on video

You've already tuned in to see Nokia's newfangled N82 get unboxed on video, so here's yet another one to feast your eyes on. HP's kinda-sorta delayed iPAQ 100 has finally made its way out (in a non-commercial box, though) to be pored over, and PocketPCThoughts took the time to carefully unbox the unit, spin it around a time or two and toss out a few first impressions for good measure. Granted, you're not likely to find any edge-of-your-seat suspense here, but those still on the fence about picking this thing up can hopefully get a better feel for it after peeping the video posted beyond the jump.

*** SPOILERS ****

When he removed the 100 and surprise - the battery was behind it, that was my favorite part!

When he started pulling the box apart to see if there was anything else hidden in there, I could hear my heart pounding but was not rewarded when there wasn't anything else found. I didn't like that part very much.

"Ops I dropped it" - Quality...I doubt that HP would like you anymore... You know what that means? No more pre-release products from HP...

I do prefer the HP 210 (or whatever it's called) but its being Delayed SOO many times that I almost think it'll be coming out Q1 2009....

Great video... Rushed but still useful...

Looks good ... though it's getting harder to go with a device that doesn't have phone capabilities ....

Wow...that was like watching grass get pulled...or uh, getting teeth grown...

Why the hell does nobody recognise a UK plug?!?!?! Seriously, I know what a US plug looks like!!!

"This plug here is for Europe"

I'm pretty sure that the United Kingdom is located somewhere in, near, or around Europe.

[Simon @ Nov 17th 2007 11:08PM]

So presumably you will know that the plug he was talking about when he said that is a continental european plug, not a UK plug. The UK plug is the 3-pronged one that he unpacks last, and evidently has no clue about.

Why give him high ranking?? He's a smartass, and he was wrong!

[Hung @ Nov 20th 2007 10:45PM]

Yeah bro, sucks, don't it?

No kickstand. I refuse to buy another PDA type device that doesn't have a kickstand. I will wait for the Cowon Q5. It runs Windows CE so it will sync with my desktop applications.

If you aren't getting a PDA phone, you might as well get a VGA PDA - not really getting who would want this other than kids in grades 1-8.

Was gonna say the size and rubberized back reminds me of the HTC Excalibur/T-Mobile Dash, best phone.

I love the way he gets out the power adapters, picks up the one for the UK and has no idea which country its from. Gotta love them Americans ;)
