Nokia N900 and the case of the best unboxing ever

Matt unboxes the Nokia N900 but not your average unboxing. This is the Nokia Hackerbox PR pack.


This is NOT your average unboxing video!

I've been trying to get my hands on the Nokia N900 for a while now, many of you have emailed me asking for a review or asking questions about the N900 so we've been bugging Nokia for a review model almost daily!

About a week ago I had an email from Nokia asking if I would like to try out one of their new handsets, but the catch was that they were unable to tell me which one they were going to send me! Not a problem I said, we'll take a look anyway.


So a few days ago this large, heavy black plastic cube turned up in the office. There were no instructions, no list of contents, just a USB to MiniUSB cable supplied. There was no obvious way to open the box - a little puzzle! :)

So first of all we connected the box up to a PC with the USB cable to see what would happen, when Windows reported that it was installing drivers for a USB to Serial bridge and added a serial device on COM4 I thought it would be a good idea to start a terminal connection to it and, well watch the video below to see what happened next.
