wow! mudah2aja bener..

modelna keren pisan uy... entah kenapa ngingetin gw ke mobil sedan (lho koq ke mobil sedan? )

Widih.. yang merah keren abis loh.. waaa... naksir..

W lan ? numben nich ada...semoga aja bener

kok kayak samsung u700/600 ya, pa perasaanku doang... tapi keren nih hp... harganya berapaan ya? ada yang tau ga

Ini perkiraanku kenapa gak ada front camera buat Video Call di gambar W760, baik yang dari website SE maupun yang live pics :
Kemarin pagi waktu baca2 Press Release gw coba buka2 juga website SE yang Indonesia maupun beberapa negara lain, ternyata belum ada tuh di daftar hape2 baru yang baru diumumin itu (sekarang sih udah ada). Akhirnya gw masuk ke SE Global Portfolio, baru deh muncul yang W350 dan Z555. W760 kok belum ada?
Beberapa saat kemudian gw buka lagi Global Portfolio, muncul deh W760 tapi baru W760c saja, belum ada yang W760i. Sekarang sih W760i udah muncul juga baik di Global Portfolio maupun di website SE yang berdasarkan negara.

Nah, dari kronologis di atas : adakah kemungkinan bahwa SE "salah" sewaktu masukin gambar2 di Press Release, maupun sewaktu W760 dipajang di Las Vegas dalam acara CES pada saat announcement, adalah bukan W760i tapi W760c?
Soalnya kalo W760c pasti gak bakal ada front camera karena semua hape SE yang "c" kan Non-3G.

semoga saja. tanggung banget HP entertainment ga ada kamera videocall. kalo ada sih gw uda ga ragu lagi bakal nabung buat ini

@LaNDo
Perkiraan gw di atas itu masih menyisakan 1 pertanyaan : kalau bener yang di gambar2 itu versi Non-3G (yang gak ada front cam), trus di versi 3G-nya, seandainya memang ada front cam, kira2 tu front cam bakal ditempatin di mana?

@semua deh...
Menurut beberapa orang di esato, spec WLAN kemungkinan besar adalah KESALAHAN yang sama seperti waktu Press Release Z558 dulu yang terulang kembali di W760.

GPSnya Assisted loh, (A-GPS) bukan GPS biasa. jadi sepertinya butuh "bayar" ke operator deh

Iya, kan di Press Release-nya pas ada kalimat Wayfinder Navigation ada tanda note angka (1) kalo gak salah, terus di keterangannya ditulis : Requires subscription, jadi harus langganan = berbayar...

kayaknya sebelah dalam tombol A-B masih muat deh kalo dikasi kamera videocall

ugly and cheap-like

Ada juga yang bilang jelek...
Udah liat di thread W350, dibilang jelek juga. Di sini dibilang jelek juga. Belum buka comment di Z555, tapi pasti dibilang jelek juga ya?
