Device unseen, maybe. Sight unseen, no.
Apple.com had pictures of the device long before they waited in line or clicked 'buy'.
Gotta agree. When I heard gold, I thought of Mr. T. The gold they showed was much classier than that.
I thought "sight unseen" meant not having seen it in person. At least that's how I used the expression.

In person, it looks so different.
