Nokia E75: Unboxing
This is the special WOM World Nokia E75 case! It seems to be constructed of aluminum, and needless to say is quite an eyeful before you even open it up! I've been told that I'm one of the first in the world to receive one, which is very cool. (Thanks Katie!) I'm sure many more WOM World testers will be reporting about their cases when they receive them. In the meantime, it's time to open this sucker up!
Here's a macro shot of the latches. As you can tell, they accept a key (the suitcase was locked when it arrived, and a key was enclosed within the package to unlock it). Let's snap open the latches and open the case!
Inside of the suitcase is a series of sequentially smaller boxes. Each one's graphics change slightly from the previous. ("Emailed", "Emailed With", and then "Emailed With Ease" appear as balloons when you progress from outside to inside. The same words are written in normal font on each box, but the same words change color from white to red on their corresponding box.) The most interior box is lined with a plush insulating liner and then filled with all of the usual accompaniments to any Nokia handset. (Charger, USB-cord, Headset, Battery, Quick Start Guide, Owner's Manual, and small brochure for Nokia Maps.) The handset as you can see is a royal red, matching all of the trim found in the box.
Sitting rather innocently, the unpowered E75 is quite unassuming. It looks almost as if it was produced by the same general cookie-cutter principles governing most of Nokia's other candybar handsets. It's the side-sliding QWERTY keyboard and cutting-edge E-Series hardware that set this handset apart from all the others. I won't dive further into that as I'm planning a full-scale review of the device fairly soon.
But now you might be wondering... "Will my E75 come in a briefcase like this one did?" The short answer is no. Unless you manage to snag yourself a special-edition E75, a consumer is unlikely to receive the briefcase. (At least that's as much as I can gather.) What will everyone else's E75 unboxing look like? Perhaps this will answer!
There's nothing unusual to be found here, actually. It's just Nokia's typical business-oriented packaging. Plain and simple are the two words that come to mind. All the packaging is cardboard and can be recycled. It's a tad on the bland side, but it does the job well. After all, most people won't buy an E75 just to get some cool packaging (suitcase), they'll buy an E75 for the phone itself.
What of the contents included with the box-version E75? Exactly the same. Same cables and documentation, not one thing is different.
