I was wondering if anyone on here was planning recording a video unboxing their iPhone 4 on YouTube when they receive it on Thursday. I think I might if I am able to activate my phone first! I'm so excited I can hardly wait!!!
 
Haha :D

I usually take pictures of the process. Whether its a new rifle, electronic gadget, or iphone. :D
 
I'm more interested in using it than taking pictures or video of it. No doubt they'll be 100 people doing it trying to be first anyway, so doesn't really matter.
 
I would, but I plan on being naked, with some red wine and Barry White crooning in the background...

I don't think any of you want to see that.
 
Do you honestly think I'll be able to buy an iPhone and then sit with it in my car, unopened, while I drive home?!

This guy has his priorities right. Open box, load Pandora, drive drive drive.
 
This is as good a place as any to ask this question: what is the deal with all of these unboxing videos and photo sets whenever people get new Apple merchandise? I've never understood why this is done. I have a friend that always posts a couple dozen pictures every time he gets something new from Apple, which always leaves me asking 'WTF'? I love my Apple products, but can't imagine doing something like that. When did this become a ritual?

So people that don't have the products can live vicariously? *shrugs*
 
Yep

If you have a video that is popular enough, you will get an email asking you if you'd like to sign up for YouTube's revenue sharing program. Then you begin making $$

Yep I have had a couple that qualified for the revenue sharing but I had some music in the background that was not mine so I could not get it.. :( I may do a unboxing video just not sure yet.
 
wouldn't someone in Europe have the advantage of being the first to post an unboxing video ?

Besides, what is up with those unboxing videos ? What can be so great about unboxing an apple product and making a video of it.
 
The whole unboxing thig is meh, whatever. I'll be nice.

I see the purpose on a tech blog before release but that's it.

If it is just a phone then why are you here reading all this?:eek:

In hopes that some sane person will point out how incredibly stupid unboxing videos are, and then inform us all that instead he's hoeing to make an indeoth video of something useful - the HD camera, facetime, multitasking, battery life etc etc. Seeing something emerge from a box ....mehhhhhh.
