JKK and I have had some fun tracking our Viliv S7’s from South Korea over the last four days and it turns out that the German customs organization is a little tighter than the Finnish one. No surprise there! Consequently, JKK picked his up from the DHL office this afternoon and has already videoed the unboxing. Remember this is a retail version of the high-end, 3G+voice, 32GB SSD S7 that should be available at Dynamism very soon. As a bonus, you get to see the very girly white leather case!
Viliv S7 – Full specifications, other videos, gallery and more on our information page.
A live session is still planned for tomorrow but depending on whether my S7 turns up, we may push the convertible shootout to Wednesday evening. Stay tuned for the final information but whatever happens, we’ll be online on Tuesday evening as planned.

I don’t know if it’s girly or not, but I have to admit I find it butt-ugly in white. Call me shallow, but I would not consider this device unless it were made available in basic black !
Anyway, good on JKK ! There’s always another race Chippy …

At the end of unboxing when jkk turned around the screen,on the center of the screen,the screen deformed ugly!

It is a better device than i originally thought and yes black would look MUCH better!

Any news in the “international” version with the upgraded CPU and secret extras? I like the look of this but would like it so much more if you had some extra horsepower under the hood.

That’s a relief!
Is yours a different model from JKK’s unit? Does he always luck out and get the 3G versions?

Hi Chippy:
Great videos. I really appreciate your and JKK’s reviews. I personally prefer this one with a reasonable keyboard to X70 which has no keyboard. I wish they had a S5 and a X70 with a slide keyboard.
