The PocketSurfer2 arrives at SMS Towers

By on April 18, 2008 in Devices

After the previous post (‘What’s this just arrived?’), I took a more in-depth look at the PocketSurfer.

Well, actually, I just unboxed it, worked out how to switch it on and registered.

It’s not really a one-handed device, you’re best to use both hands I think, so that made it difficult when QIKing. Anyway have a look at the video above and you’ll see the screen and the speed. It’s smart.

During the video I wasn’t quite sure where you’re best to order them. I thought it was Widget.com — and I was right.

I thought the price was 149 pounds. Almost. Just a wee bit more — £179.

They’re in stock at Widget right now (Widget are the UK distributor) so if you’d like a play — and, come on, who wouldn’t, if you order now you’ll have it by Monday or Tuesday.

It’s worth a look, too. I’ve registered and activated the device. Now I just need to charge it for four hours, then I’ll get straight into playing with it.

    Love your stylish one-handed (maybe a world first?) unboxing video — Scoble ought to be worried!
    ;)

    How accurate is the GPS-like, cell locator?
    Can you use it like LocateMe on GoogleMaps?

    Which mobile network is it using?

    Before you do another video, how about writing the website url and price on a Post-it note with a marker pen so you can zoom in on it at the end for a few frames?

    Nice one, Ewan!

    I’ll answer those questions very shortly HeavyLight — I’m just waiting for it to finally charge.

    And you’re right, a post-it note is the way ahead!

    It’s kind of ‘blair witch’ meets unboxing at the outset… :-)
