iPhone 3G S Launch: Unboxing video, Steve Sande style



Ahhhh. The smell of new electronics, released from their cardboard box after a week long journey from Shenzhen, China to Highlands Ranch, Colorado. The texture of a clean, fresh iPhone encased in its plastic wrapper. The fun of finding not one, but two little Apple stickers in your package.

Yeah, it's unboxing time at the Sande household. It's my turn to take you through the delivery of not one, but two iPhone 3G S phones on 6/19/09, followed by the luscious views of a young, unsullied iPhone being taken out of a box and activated (well, not quite).

For those of you who bought your iPhone 3G S's on Friday, this will be a fond remembrance; if you didn't buy the latest iPhone, this is a cruel temptation to get you to exercise your credit or debit card at your local Apple or AT&T store. Enjoy the view!

You have got to be kidding me!

This is JUST A PIECE OF PLASTIC AND SOME OTHER STUFF

You did made a video of how you unbox it? What is wrong with you people? I do have a Mac and an iPhone and an iPod, but I would never worship it...

Tuaw becomes the new places for the new religion -> buying products.
The only thing missing is a f***ing altar...

You are like 3 year old kids...

Hey, dude. We're just emulating our Windows friends, who have been doing unboxing videos about every piece of plastic they've ever bought and posting it on the Web for the last 15 years.

Almost 4,500 people have viewed the unboxing video, so if you don't want to watch the next one, it won't break my heart.

Now that's a very useful suggestion, Susan -- unlike some of the comments we get here... ;-)

Hey...so I owned iPhone 3G and just got the new 3G S...the 3G was my first AT&T phone, and I was wondering why I got a new SIM card with my new phone. What do I do with the old one?

very nice...now I know what to expect when my iphone 3gs gets delivered to the ATT store in 5 days. I can't wait. Only wish I were able to be at the store at 7am on sunday, would have been nice to have the 3gs by now. I will be selling my 3g as well to cover the costs.

Good video Steve. Thanks for the unboxing. I love the smell of new electronics too. I always inhale a big whiff as soon as the packaging is opened. LOL

I also put my Apple stickers on my car. I only know of these 4 sizes:

Classic Mac - rainbow apple
Any New Mac - Large White Apple
iPhone - Medium White Apple
iPod Nano - Small White Apple

If anyone knows of different sizes let me know.
