Welcome to Technogravy! I write the second half of this blog, with less technical language than Dwayne would give you, thus making Dwayne the guru! Anyhow, coming back to the un-boxing and my first blog post here: Here is our first unboxing video of the much loved android phone - HTC Desire. (hallelujah!!)

Watch me unbox it here: Hope you enjoyed watching that. The camera aint the clearest but it worked well enough for me to show you in the unboxing video like I needed to. Thanks for watching! GYAK
