Video: Samsung's extraordinary i900 Omnia unboxing -- go ahead, press the red button
Yeah, we know that the video posted after the break is a corporate promotion loosed onto the Internets in hopes of going viral. But damn if this Samsung Omnia (i900) unboxing doesn't match our vision of how these oft tiresome rituals should be. What started a few years back as a cultural goof to poke fun at eager fanboy fanaticism has now become an integral part of a product's launch identity. But this, this is the future.

I'd probably buy anything that really came out of the box like that.
I know 3G is the latest buzz ...... but what really grabbed my attention there was DivX ! nice
AHAHAHAH A..
i am lovin this .. dont care about the fone but kudos .. this rocks . :)
WOW................THAT WAS COOL.
Haha, that was wicked man, I really wasn't expecting that to happen, thought, it would just be another lame (but interesting) video that would amount to nothing!
they flick horses, don't they....
"ooh, look, tiny girls, i like that...."
akward
OMFG, that is the first UNBOXING that I have actually found entertaining. Sorry, but watching someone open a box and show how the cord is wrapped and what kind of wrapper the manual was sealed with, is beyond stupid.
so, great clip.. wasn'nt expecting that, just wonderring about shipping exploding people and fireworks in the mail... maybe china could do it all virtually? They do virtual fireworks and stuff.
fake.
Gee, really? You figure that one out all by yourself?
Now THIS is the kind of packaging that deserves the fanfare that Apple fanboys give.
Fuckin awesome.
You just pay for the packaging nowadays anyway
I thought for sure they were going to bow to the phone and the phone would destroy them with it's wrath ala Raiders of the Lost Ark
All The Borrower's blew up! D:
Best unboxing video ever!
Like that's a challenge.
AHAHHAHHAHA AWESOME! (and surprising, esp the zoom)
this needs to be a viralvid shared for all... evolution of dance topper imo
Ok it's obviously time for some Viral Oscar awards. The Voscars?
This looks shopped. I can tell from some of the pixels and having seen quite a few shops in my time.
On a slightly more serious note, I appreciate the Lemmings reference!
Nice. I love the subtle Twilight Zone reference. "If you press the red button, You will get $10,000 and someone you don't know will die." After pressing the button: "What happens to the box now?" "We'll give it to someone else......someone you don't know." Good stuff.
"Ooh look, tiny girls, I like That"........Classic
I wonder, since this viral was done in an USean accent, does this mean it is coming to the states with US 3G? I'd take that over tiny girls any day.
Why oh why does that look like a Staples easy button? I must be watching too much TV...
Is each box unique? I'd just like my box to transform into a strip club with big booty bitches please.
Wow.
And the Oscar for best voice actor goes to?
Wow.
Someone stop the bleeding.
From my ears.
Good stuff.
LOL that dude gets pissed that they got ashes on his table then proceeds to transfer those ashes to his shiny new toy.
AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!
So THAT'S where former Samsung employees go.......
