I'll tell you the problem at the end.
So, the box looks like this. Nothing fancy except it's made in Korea. Odd. I was expecting Finland or some Scandinavian countries.
Top view of the box. Just like any other AT&T smartphones. |
I covered the IMEI numbers. I don't know what that is, but it looked important. |
This is a SIM card key. You need it to open the card tray. |
Things that came with it. I like the design of the charger. I guess they've got the design cue from Apple, but this one is much smaller. |
This is it. I guess I should have put something else on the side for the size reference, but it's definitely larger than Galaxy S or iPhone 4S. |
Bottom. |

One thing to note is that it didn't come with a wired headset that most phones come with. I guess they realized that most people use bluetooth headset nowadays.
The very first impression out of the box was "heavy", although I can't really tell the weight difference between this one and my old Galaxy S.
So, now the problem I mentioned on top.
It does not have data connection. Wifi is fine. It's just that 4G network connection is dead. Engadget reported there are a number of customers with the same problem. When I first saw the article I thought, "oh poor things. They just got the phone and have a problem already" and it turned out I was one of them.
Nokia said it's a software problem (Microsoft!!!) and the fix will be available after 4/16. They're offering exchange to a new phone, but I already personalized this one too much to switch today.
I guess I'll just stick to the wifi until then.
I'll write more about the Windows Phone experience in a few days.
