SE W760 Press Release

c702 tyt di sini msh 2,8. ~___~
lalu td cb2 lagi w760 krn kemaren kelupaan coba2 suara dan ngetik sms-nya.
gue kesulitan ngetik sms pas pencet * 0 dan # euy. kyny kehalang bagian bawahnya yg mencekung itu.

trus speakernya tyt ga sebulat c702 ya.. jd mikir2 lagi.
tp bener deh displaynya bgs bngt. ~_~

speakernya ga sebulat c702?

yang pasti sih lebih bulet banding w910.. :P

temen gw baru beli w910 lgsung jual lagi ganti w760 gara2 spikernya butut n gw panas2in.... hehe

kalo yg di hape temen gw malah 1,2,3 yg rada keras gitu, beda ama laennya.

masih heran aja ni hape terjun bebas ke 2,5.

bagus donk. dibanding C702 emang seharusnya HP ini lebih murah karena kameranya standar, ga ada LED. plusnya secara speks mungkin cuma stereo speaker dan accelerator

yang udah make nih hp siapa ya???(bukan cumi ya)

kok gak da yang attch foto2 hasil kamera ya.....

oia, mo tanya tentang Accelometer...klo misalnya hp dlm keadaan standby, trus ditaruh dalam kantong, pastinya akan goyang2 dalam kantong, ntar acclmetrnya berfungsi gak???
layar hpnya jadi muter2 donk ngikutin posisi dalam kantong???

btw, tadi liat di salah satu situs, harga w760 udah 2.525.000 affordable gak tuh???

Setau gw sih.. accelerometer berfungsi saat kita buka menu Media.. Itupun kalo diset ke autorotate.. Sama kalo lagi ambil foto.. Jadi kalo hp dalam posisi standby sih harusnya ga aktif accelerometernya.. CMIIW

oh gue punya sedikit hasil fotonya.

asli dr hapenya bro.
klo hape SE A200 yg Non-AF itu sebenernya emang bagus reproduksi warnanya. mulai dr K660, Z770 (yg 2MP), sampe W760, T700 (yg 3MP) itu warnanya bagus2.

klo soal noise, sebenernya klo tempatnya agak lebih gelap, pasti noise-nya banyak. makanya yg paling asik sebenernya kaya T700/G700 yg punya LED. karena LED itu sangat membantu dalam motret di tempat gelap.

klo foto outdoor ga punya soalnya hapenya ga bisa dibawa keluar sih. (ntar gue ditangkep )

brarti keunggulannya seri cybershoot cuma di makro mode aja ya...

klo seri lainnya kan, foto jarak deket pasti nge-blur...

ditangkep siapa???

wah curiga nih.....

Dari situs tetangga :

The W760 has to be the Sony Ericsson phone with the most pre-installed applications! W760 comes with no less than seven pre-installed applications; AccuWeather (a weather application), Converter (an application for converting distances, volumes, weights, temperatures, speeds, areas, and the newly updated version even includes a tip calculator for when you’re out dining), Music Mate 5 (a comprehensive music composer application with support for the built-in motion sensor), Rock Bobblehead (a rather entertaining Elvis-doll application that reacts according to your movements, and makes Elvis rock and roll!), Standby World (a clock application that displays three customizable clocks, and can be used as an application wallpaper), Wayfinder Navigator 7 (the great GPS navigation application), and World Clock 3D (another clock application displayed in the shape of a 3D globe).

semua app diatas ada di w760 indo kagak....

penasaran sama app AccuWeather, cara kerjanya dengan apa ya???

AccuWeather itu cara kerjanya dengan [tautan dihapus]
Jadi klo aplikasinya dibuka, kita tinggal masukin lokasi kita, misalnya Bandung. nanti aplikasinya akan mengirim data ke internet (ke website tsb) untuk ngedapetin prakiraan cuaca kota Bandung.

Makanya AccuWeather ini membutuhkan koneksi GPRS/3G.

Klo soal aplikasi2 tersebut, sebenernya dengan modingan, kita udah bisa extract aplikasi itu dari firmware ponsel2 lain. Misalnya Music Mate 5 itu bisa diekstrak dr firmware w760, bisa dimasukin ke c702 (misalnya).

Soal W760 sendiri, gue ga bisa confirm apa yg dijual di Indo ada aplikasi sebanyak itu juga. Demo unit yg tempo hari gue oprek2 itu banyak yg udah dihapus item2 bawaannya.

Ga juga bro.
Cybershot biasanya setingannya lebih lengkap. Ada juga yg pake BestPic dll, itu fitur yg berguna banget (adanya di K800, K810, C902, K850, C905). Itu beberapa contoh aja.

Hape Cybershot/dengan autofocus juga sebenernya punya reproduksi warna yg lebih seimbang untuk foto2 indoor/dengan flash. Kalau yg non-AF itu, biasanya warnanya cemerlang banget di outdoor, terutama kalo cerah. Tapi ga jarang juga warnanya agak salah, terutama klo fotonya udah di tempat yg minim cahaya. Kira2 sih gitu.

Ditangkep polisi soalnya itu hapenya kan demo unit di SESC.

punya gw g502 (tanpa AF), hasil fotonya emang jernih bgt

tapi dengan syarat kondisi cahaya cukup/tdk berlebihan
(kyk pagi hari)

kalo malam ato diruangan remang2, pasti banyak noisenya
