SE W760 Press Release

oh ya, gw baca dimana gitu, ada yg komen(dlm b.inggris): kenapa SE ga bisa kasi layar yg lebih besar. itu ada space (warna hitam) diantara layar dan batas layar ga penting banget.

dan menurut gw: cuma demi memasang logo WALKMAN??? benar2 mubazir sih...... padahal seharusnya layarnya bisa lebih besar

@LaNDo

--> comment dikit ah: kenapa sih nulis mesti pake crazy text kaya gini? Gak Lando aja gitu...

Mungkin maksud SE ngasih layar "kecil" itu untuk menghemat batere, biar gak perlu batere kapasitas gede, biar ongkos produksi bisa ditekan? Hehehe... maksa aja deh.

Tapi ada info kurang bagus nih :

- WLAN : udah dibilang sebelumnya itu mungkin suatu kesalahan penulisan spec ---> Confirmed. Website SE sedang diedit.

- Secondary camera for video call : katanya sih memang gak ada.... ---> Under confirmation process.

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?

Iya...

Harap tidak tersinggung ya, pendapat dari lubuk hati terdalam nih, sekaligus melihat fenomena masa kini

ya gpp sih.. klo gw ke thread nokia (punten aa) pasti bakal melakukan hal yg mirip2 (mirip.. ga sama --")
yawda daripada ada yg tersanjung mending gw ga kesana aja ^^

Akhirnya SE mulai berkreasi dengan GPS built-in juga

Btw, ada keterangan berapa inch ga layarnya?

Kok gak di seri2 P ya ada GPS builti'nya??? Dari dulu udah ku tunggu2 produk SE terutama yg seri P yg ada GPSnya Soalnya aku paling hobi keluyuran alias jalan2 he..he..he.. untuk sekarang enaknya beli GPS receiver gak ya???

ini GPS murni apa cuman A-GPS doang?

mohon pencerahan para ahli..

Kalo cuman A-GPS seeh itu langkah mundur

Spesifikasi W760 yang terakhir dan udah diedit di website SE.
Yang hilang : WLAN dan BestPic, tapi Video Call masih ada lho.

ga ada bestpic toh. banyak banget kesalahan info fitur. kok dodol banget yah yg update website SE

hmm..masih menebak2 dimana kamera depannya

mo tanya dong, gw kan mau ganti HP.. tadinya mo beli W910 *dah mantep*, tp kira2 worthed ga ya klo gw pass W910 demi W760 ??

soalnya gw tertarik bgt ama duo speaker di samping dan 3,2 MP camnya...

@Atas gw

wah... masalah klasik... kalo emang suka dan dana ada, mending beli aja sekarang W910 nya... udah mantep banget tuh..kalo tetep nungguin W760, ntar pas W760 keluar, SE langsung ngumumin lagi W780 yang lebih canggih... trus bingung lagi deh, trus nunggu lagi.. trus kapan belinya hehehe

Kayaknya jadi my next Walkman Phone nih

Since ada STEREO SPEAKER nya
Dan daku dah mulai suka ama slider phone

Video Call kan bisa pake Camera 3.2 MP nya, kayak W850i kan bisa switch between front and back camera

CMIIW>

Ni bukannya kamera buat Vid call ya..?

nah itu dia gw bingunggg hhahha... dana sih ada bwat beli w910 *masih nyari stock yg warna merah*

tapi entah knp W760 koQ bikin gw tertarik lagi ya ? *gara2 duo speaker kaya w550 ama cam 3,2mp nya itu*

klo gw bandingin w760 ama w910 sih gw lbh suka layar w910 *ia lah gede gt*, ama designnya yg tipis.., hehehe

Intermezzo, code name W760i adalah Deena

koq dibikin disono ya ? apa mgkn selama ini kamera videocall terlalu tinggi

emang berasa tinggi sich mata gw engga lurus tapi keatas......aneh videocall an pake p1i

kok HP-HP seri W sekarang backlightnya warna biru sih?gak oranye lagi, padahal kan oranye udah nyatu ama soul walkman

GPS nya bagus gak ya kira-kira..? bikin boros batre gak tuh?
soalnya kalo baca di forum luar tentang GPS HGE-100 nya SE katanya busuk banget,lemot. moga aja yang dipasang di W760 ini lebih sempurna deh..

eh bener! itu gambar itu emang ada lubang di bagian kanan. di kirinya ngak ada. semoga beneran itu kamera video call. hehehe
