[LilTayzOfficial]

PD4L

[LazerBeem85]

Noah wheni look for videos about phone reviews i always look for videos by you first! you rock! and to anyone who owns this phone please send me a message on your thoughts because i am thinking about buying one

[ForeverYoung123100]

thumbs up for saved by the bell!!!!!!!!!!!

[MyAnaha]

is it true that you have to buy internet with this phone?

[moasses]

@MyAnaha yes unless you can get the gsm unlocked and use it with tmobile or at&t. U can use your own wifi but you'll have to pay for the data plan thats 30$ a month.

[XAutomatedOwnerX]

@MyAnaha I got it a couple months ago. If you have the data plan you get everything but TV. TV is a little extra.

[00Rebirth00]

Go fucking brush your teeth.

[ScaredKid321]

@00Rebirth00 go fucking pay attention to the video instead of looking for flaws in the mans teeth.

[Fuckin17u]

[6428classic]

dude your such a gangsta!

[redwingsfan122]

[IAMLEGAND23]

does this phone have the free apps like the android phones?

[DLOo8]

1:38.. Iphone does that to dumb ass

[MRGAMERNEWS]

what is the bst verizon phone

[RollerCoasterTycoon8]

@MRGAMERNEWS I dont wanna be that douch that says the droid but........the droid. actually to be honest. any android phone. this is a really good phone though.

[HappiiSmiles316]

does the video have a pause button where you can pause while recording and then you can resume? and can you upload the videos to you tube? I have the moto droid. it's getting annoying.

[runinpoop]

@callofdutyN3rd yes, but i dont know much about it. im not askin you, but does anyone know what the early termination fee is?

[runinpoop]

@callofdutyN3rd you have to. if you go to the verizon website, the smartphones and stuff say "29.99 data package or higher required" thats how you know

[LupeSouth813]

Is this the worldwide version

[Fox5194]

ehh

[dantehdkfh]

hahaha like how in the middle of the taping he starts talkin about football

[ryancoleman3]

im gettin this in like 7 months haha

[HappiiSmiles316]

@ryancoleman3 something to announce

[UnicycleFilms]

Is this phone worth $200?

[rockindoodcm]

thanks, i saw a lot of reviews but none ever really showed the mobile keyboard, thanks... the only thing is my contact isn't up for another year so won't be getting it any time soon :(

[dfg928]

very informative.....thank you Noah.

[FaMiLyGuYKiD97]

do u have to do a data plan on this phone?

[gibsonfenderman]

@FaMiLyGuYKiD97 You have to have the $29.99 package which is unlimted data and such

[FaMiLyGuYKiD97]

@gibsonfenderman i was at the verizon store a couple weeks ago and it didnt say it was required

[2DIGGY3]

damn this dudes teeth are busted

[alkillen]

this guy obviously smokes to much!

[gymnastlc319]

no flash?

[liberty211662]

with is better this or the droid by motorola

[redspicer]

i wont the imagio but i wont to wait for the nexus .. when does the nexus come to verizon?

[hydeist667]

engadget said it was march 23rd. but still just a rumor.

[chrisjm325]

@redspicer it doesn't

[moto815]

i like this phone,looks like iphone color i loved all black out.how much is the internet & phone in one serivce?how much do u need to pay per month?

[phoenixfire47]

I believe its $29.95 USD per month, thats what it had said last night on VerizonWireless' site, so the same price as a Blackberry plan

[LUVHURTZ11]

no offense but y is his teeth so rotten?

[redspicer]

go fuck yourself .. this guy knows more about phones then you so dont comment on his stuff if its going to be mean .

[Chris279m]

I dont like verizon. The plans are bad, but good coverage. T-Mobile rocks(: were i live atleast.

[CalebRulez2]

Remove "they" :o)

[CalebRulez2]

For such a large screen, they HTC sure doesn't utilize it for the landscape keyboard. The space bar is in the middle of the keys which throws it off, kinda weird why they would put another row, but whatever, I'm not with Verizon anyway.

[itznickaay]

Man i cant wait to Buy This XDD &nd im only 14 XD

[iiMacbookpro]

@itznickaay What does your age have to do with anything!?!?!

[ROckDEcoy]

is the versa capasitive or resistive?

[samaanOG]

@ROckDEcoy resistive

[jeff30458]

@ROckDEcoy resistive

[RiceKing623]

whats the best verizion phone

[sp1epiphany]

anything that is not an lg phone

[jeff30458]

@RiceKing623 droid or touch pro 2 well actually though this phone isn't so bad cause it had winmo 6.5 and a 5.0 megapixel camera, but no physical keyboard is a deal breaker for me.

[ThEuNdYiNg1]

@jeff30458

it must take you forever to find just the right phone then

[jeff30458]

lol i'm not even on verizon. Their plans are way more expensive than sprint, its just crazy. I pay less than a hundred bucks for 2 phones for the same thing i'd be getting for 180 with big red. Right now I'm using the htc hero(basically same phone as droid eris from verizon), but I just ordered the htc touch pro 2 because I'm hating not having a physical keyboard on the hero. I tried the samsung moment but it felt cheap and too wobbly

[daisyladii]

@jeff30458 verizon is just....idk

[oceanlol]

good review and i want this phone

[anw36]

resistive is formed by many layers using pressure. while capacivive is either heat or electricity sensitive so when you touch it works

[MrFunkeym0nkey]

is this like the eternity?

[nickredbull815]

shuld i get this or the touch pro 2? and how much wuld the bill run up 2 4 the imagio and the touch pro 2

[chestercougars52]

hey noah is it true that this phone can get viruses like a computer can.

[Eazy4281994]

i think the imagio and iphone are =

this is sick phone

[Kiraa45]

do you have to pay the $30 internet plan thing like you do with the blackberry? or can you just get the phone??

[joe48951122]

yeahh you do have to pay the extra $30 a month

[Yoursoul101]

If it had Quad GSM does that mean that it should work with Tmobile or ATnT too?

[Gizzlezification]

IT can't because it uses a verizon/vodaphone sim card. yes it's a sim card but only works with vodfone/verizon

[FatNoob3000]

yea but you can use tmobile sim cards w/ at&t so shouldnt this work the same??

[jeff30458]

@FatNoob3000 you'd have to get it unlocked to be able to use domestic sims

[jeff30458]

@FatNoob3000 but then again every carrier in america has this phone so why not just get it for the carrier you have.

[jeff30458]

@FatNoob3000 correction, every carrier has the touch pro 2 I forgot what video I was watching.

[316elite321]

what is the transcriber qwerty option?

[Imthesweetest122]

noah you are a fuckin G. You always do the best unboxing and reviews!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :)

[brightehlight]

@Imthesweetest122 lolz ikr hes like the phone god EFFING beast :D

[frozenmummy]

this looks real nice but I'm not a fan of the on-screen keyboard. I'm thinking about going with the Touch Pro 2

[chiacgo]

come on you guys iphone has 3g,wifi built in, edge, a digatly compass,voice control, 16 gig of built in memory video that you can edit.....man im done

[cobra4455]

First of all don't spam the comments w/ fanboyism. Second who gives a shit about digital compasses.

[GGotShot]

@chiacgo it has every thing but u cant spell "CHICAGO"

[chiacgo]

@GGotShot i am not trying to spell Chicago. that's my nick name Chiacgo, dumb ass

[GGotShot]

ok ok no hassle i didnt know

[Heezy2090]

well if you like seinfeld and curb your enthusiasm then you like larry's personality.

[chiacgo]

Iphone rule all!!

[paynefanbro]

NOT!!!

[Heezy2090]

typical iFanboy

[Jurkowski1987]

Do you think this HTC is Better than the HTC Touch Pro 2????

[RTackle79]

how do u not like Larry David????

[koolestloser12]

do you have to get internet in it?

[zany1poo]

yea ..... it think im gunna stick to getting the moto droid.

[SofaKingAwesome23]

whats the difference between a resistive touch screen and a capacitive?

[NateDaGreat519849]

resisitve is more pressure on the screen to control, but a capacitive slides with gentle touch, like an iphone or ipod touch if you've ever used one, hoped i helped :)

[SofaKingAwesome23]

Thankyou! I need a capacitive one! you helped alot

[NateDaGreat519849]

no problem and yea capacitive screens r my favorite too ! the new blackberry 2 is capacitive if you have verizon, or the motorola droid

[eyotbaby]

it really doesnt slide idk y someone said it did its full touch and im getting it next month

[Eagle6990]

Why didn't you show putting the battery in? I've never struggled so much to get the back of a phone off to put the battery in. I was hoping to see how you did it.

[nickredbull815]

wats htc? i hav verizon so can i get this

[iJakeV]

yes it has wifi did u even watch the vid?

[hollister62191]

does it have wi fi

[Gizzlezification]

Yes

[NickForte22]

RRREEESSSPPPOOONNNDDD... Is this a good phone cuz im gonna get a new phone and i dont wanna waste 200 bucks on a s****y phone

[Jas2Love10]

My dad got one of these and all I can say about it now is the touchscreen is really smooth. Better than a lot of some other touch screen phones I've used and almost as good as my iPod touch.

[XxDEMON2277xX]

Do i need a specific kind of plan for a smartphone if i just have a phone like the alias??????

[kodymcbanks]

You have to have a smart phone plan, there are two. The first is the one you want its 29.99 a month extra. It includes unlimited internet, e-mail, and no fees for downloads apps (thats usually 1.99 per MB) The other is 44.99 a month, its the same thing but it sets you up with a corporate e-mail account, I doubt youll need that. Every Verizon smart phone has to have a smart phone plan, even the new Samsung thats a multi-media phone has to have their 9.99 a month plan.

[jeff06CuBs08]

29.99 month

[Gizzlezification]

You can use whatever plan you want. You only have to get a completly new plan if you want to use all the extra useless bells and whistles.

[9btc]

is the droid going to have a quertey key board

[wahabinho]

Yes

[kodymcbanks]

Yes, its a slide out like the Glyde.

[lakersfan424]

hey i need to get the touch pro 2 because i need the keyborad but how would i update the software to 6.5?

[23KarlKoch23]

just get the snap..been using it for 3 month now and i am very happy. its like blackberyy only it looks better and has much better functions!

[babycarmie]

Can someone help me figure out how to use music for SMS/MMS alerts because now i can only use the stupid ringers that come with the phone

[ultrasonic344]

does anyone notice the weird discoloration of his hand?

[ghostly65]

does it require a data plan

[jackdemoff95]

is the call history thing on the homepage always there or can you somehow get rid of it????

[meaningintragedy01]

I'm stuck between this or the Touch Pro 2.

I've been planning on getting the TP2 since it was first leaked, but then this guy came up and I'm stuck LOL

[toosexy707]

get this phone not tp2

[texas1040]

Why not the tp2?

[FichDak]

neither. look up the droid ;)

[morenom1029]

theyre practicaly the same thing.

only real difference is the imagio is running winmo 6.5 which is smoother then 6.0 that the tp2 runs.

till they "officially" announce the tp2 software update id say the imagio is the better buy

[meaningintragedy01]

The TP2 was boxed with 6.1

[youngsweetgeesus]

i have a tp2 and i love it! but this does have a couple features that tp2 doesnt have like mobile tv, and vcast. if you want a phone similar to the iphone, with a 5 megapixel cam and really dont need a keyboard this would be better i suppose. other than that their the same phone

[AKingZWldAQu33nZUnVZ]

Hey Noah could you or anybody help me to find some cool game to play on new Imagio Phone. I love Action,Fantasy and Puzzle Games Thanks!!!

[BRUNO2089]

there are two things i didnt like it... first is a windows mobile !! and then bing as search engineer

[JeffersonSteelflex7]

this or blackberry tour?

[PimpBigDaddyBucks]

this definetly. its a tough decision between this or the touch pro 2 though

[RiderNia]

a Noah can you do a dog fight between the imagio and the hero

[lilray979]

man everybody stop hatin on phoneDog he does awesome reviews! love this one

[bobphillips99]

hey noah,

do you think the HD2 will come out for verizon?

[bigmandrew380]

they saying it might come on t-mobile (rumor for now) but i know for sure whatever company it does come out for i'm going to them... that is a gotta get phone...

[bobphillips99]

lol

yeah it is a pretty beastly phone..

[bigmandrew380]

have you heard of the htc touch2 what you think about that phone?

[bobphillips99]

yes i've herd of the touch2..

its not a bad phone.

it comes preoaded with windows mobile 6.5

BUT the screen is only 2.8 inches.

and its a resistive touch screen..

other phones that are similiar are the imagio(ofcourse)

and the htc hd2.(better than both of those phones) but i like the Touch pro 2 the best because of the keyboard.. if you have any questions please ask

[Doggieman1111]

too bad windows mobile blows. It's clunky, glitchy and slow. Used it for a year, would never use it again.

[SmooveLai]

imagio or touch pro2 ?

[SaMaster14]

unless you need the physical keyboard, go for the imagio.

[SmooveLai]

is windows mobile a good operator i here alot of complaints?

im thinking of waiting for the motorola sholes running on android....android seems to be a good os idk so many phones so many possibilities

[javaxsqft]

Get a fricking life!!!

[stefann1989]

woooo extra stylussss....

[danej14]

official iphone killer fake iphone killers voyager,omnia,and any touch screen that is not the imagio

[varunasingh]

What happened to your hands?

[zaustonstu992]

Why windows mobile??? :(

[poopisalive123]

I want it!!

[yungboi67]

i think we have a iphone killer ROFL

[jackdemoff95]

should i get this or the samsung rogue? and how much is this phone b4 rebate on 2 year contract?

[TheJugglingBros]

$200....and get this if u want 3g cuz the rogue isnt

[djfobtronics]

what 3g frequencies does it do?

[born2kill08]

whts better htc pro 2 or this one ?

[patrismurcia]

oh... Windows? :(

[drunkmango57]

if it was a touch pro 2 minus the keyboard, then wouldn't it really be a touch diamond 3?

[drunkmango57]

should i get this or the omnia 2?

[tuluvota]

you'll get more out of the omnia 2......you're gonna find a shit load of laggyness with the Windows operating system....or maybe wait for a month for the motorola tao/droid.....it's much better than the other 2.....plus it's gonna be verizon exclusive

[AKingZWldAQu33nZUnVZ]

Hey Noah I don't know if some already asked you but could you do a tutorial on HTC PRO 2 Vs HTCH IMAGIO when you get the time thanks!!!!

[boredboi1034]

does it require a data plan?

[derynhaze]

yes

[thenewchance]

ssoooo many winmo phones coming out lol

[Epic0fear0]

do people even use styluses anymore?

[funkdified1]

Being able to hand write things in Notes is useful to me actually. Who wouldn't like to be able to write or draw things on their device with accuracy?

I don't think a Stylus is NEEDED anymore, but it's certainly nice to have if you WANT to use it for something. Ya know?
