Samsung Galaxy Gio Unboxing

The retail box of the Samsung Galaxy Gio believes in smaller is better. The tiny box finds room for a microUSB cable and a charger, an SD-to-microSD adapter with 2GB worth of a complimentary card and some leaflets.

The disappointing thing to note is the lack of headphones (European retail unit). We got wind that some regional versions will have a set enclosed (Asian), so it will obviously be a regional thing.

Samsung tried to make amends with the 2GB microSD card but the headphones absence may not go down well with the end user.
