Thinking inside the box.
Today was a big day for BlackBerry, the company formerly known as Research in Motion. It was the big reveal of BlackBerry 10 and the new-generation devices, the all-touch Z10 and the QWERTY-based Q10. All attendees got to take home a Z10 phone, and we couldn't wait to unbox it right at the event.
Check out the video below to see our very own Jane unbox the demo unit of the Z10. We're not sure if this is indicative of the final retail packaging, but it won't take long to find out with the Z10 hitting the UK tomorrow and Canada next week.

The point of an unboxing video is purely to unbox the device and show off the packaging. Is it a little nerdy to care what kind of packaging the latest gadgets come in? I guess, but we're always curious. Sorry you didn't get as much as you hoped from the video. Perhaps you'll prefer some of the other videos we've got on the way. Thanks for reading, and sorry you feel like you wasted your time!
None of the latest devices have choppiness, android 4.0 addressed many of the code efficiency problems.
My LG optimus G has absolutely no choppiness, it's blazing fast and smooth of course it also has a quad core processor. My EVO 3D also isn't choppy or slow at all.
Your problem might be that android can throttle down a processor when at idle, whoever designs the phone can set the frequency to conserve battery life, it may take a second or 2 to wake the device up and allow the processor to throttle to full speed. Your phone just sucks, get a better device or try a custom ROM.
Also excellent ref. to porting Android apps to BB, or even running them natively in the BB OS. THAT can make the difference for this phone.
I'm sorry but this is not entirely true. I've been using a Samsung Galaxy Note 2 for over a week with the latest "project butter" update and it still gets the occasional choppiness, though much improved from before.
Who cares what's in the box? Was it going to be a surprise that there's a manual? (OMG FRENCH AND ENGLISH; I had no idea Canada had not one! But two! Official languages) and a charger?
Post a video with the phone running and you putting it through it's paces.

What exactly does unboxing mean to you that you didn't know what was gonna be in the video?

I'm hoping the demo packaging and retail packaging are not one and the same. The phone itself feels solid and compact, the packaging feels thrown together. Sure, it's a silly thing to worry about, but when looking at Apple's packaging or Google's packaging for any of the Nexus devices, it doesn't compare.
I think you might be right... but if I was Blackberry, knowing how the 'unboxing' crowd generate the first impressions of a new product on the web (even though I'd be the first to admit it's a bit silly)... I'd not have let that box out of the closet.
She does say "zed"
