SE W760 Press Release

Kasian W760...

Dengan harga yang hampir sama memang lebih worth C702 deh kayanya....

gambar-nya g cek sih emang dari W760 koq, tp kaya dulu, g liat hasil K630i juga bagus, g cek metadata jg bener...tp pas g beli....weleh...ancur...bingung ?

Malah yg di luar review K660i biasa aja cenderung jelek..... eh gak taunya cukupan bagus kan ?

W760i vs C702i hahahahah heheheheh hihihihi hohohoho......

yg beli W760 mungkin karena faktor design aja sengaja biar ga bisa divideocall

G sih masih suka VidCall, cuma temen2 g udah pada gak mau, dlm arti 3G-nya di off, kalo mau internet baru 'on'

Lagi, VidCall juga susah, dulu sih waktu masih baru kan sering tuh, nah pas dpt VidCall lagi di tempat rame, gak siap pake HF or HF BT, ya jadi-nya pake bahasa isyarat deh

Pas sekali-nya pake HF/BT.....gak ada yg VidCall

So....fitur VidCall cuma kepuasan utk pelengkap aja......

Syukur kalo yg masih kepake misalnya utk keluarga, lagi tugas di luar kota/sering . tp apa 3G saat ini masih Ok ?

Waktu pertama 3G XL, paling bagus tuh..... lama2 tambah parah...so males juga

jgn lupa loh....

brand Walkman tuh masih laku mpe sekarang...
bisa dibilang ini kan salah satu walkman terlengkap..pasti banyak yg buru deh..(tarohan kerupuk yuk ma gw..hahaha)

sama kyk brand cybershot yg masih laku mpe sekarang...
tapi hape2 SE yg ga punya brand tapi sebenernya fiturnya ga kalah, malah kurang laku kan..misal T650i (maap ni bro TRO..hehe)

so..gw tetep milih C702 sih..haha secara gw dah punya W600i gitchu...eke jeung...=D

Hahaha... it's so exclusive man... that's OK : hape premium emang bagusnya gak laku biar tetep terjaga eksklusivitasnya.

Gile, W760 di dugem langsung ready stock yah? Kenapa gelombang sebelomnya macem G900 malah jarang yah?

harga sama, mending W702 eh C702 kemana-mana lah...

W702? wah, uda bisa dioprek? ::

dah ada yg beli?review nya dong,modelnya sih lumayan

Sdh beli kamis lalu. warna red.
Bagus menurut saya. Internet (pake i***) ok banget.

Menurut saya kelemahan/kekurangan-nya:
-- kamera tidak autofocus, mesti di-slide kalau mau motret.

wow, merahnya dah ada ya,mantabs,
basis modelnya kurang lebih sama dgn seri w580 ya juga s500

beli brp bro?

3.199.000
Beli di CEMAS, karena berisik situasinya, jadi ga tahu kalau speaker agak "mbrebet"...
Sabtu sy bawa ke Service, ga ada spare-part, disaranin dibawa ke yg jual (Selularshop). trus saya bawa ke sana, eehh... langsung di-swap sama yg baru. Red juga.

Mantabs dah.

masa yak W760 ga da kamera depan buat vidcall? soalnya gw ditunjukin sama product managernya SE, waktu acara e-lifestyle kmrn dia bawa prototypenya (SE 123), gw bilang sayang ya ga bs vidcall... eh dia protes jangan salah... sambil nunjukin titik kecil dibawah layar sblh kanan klo ga salah kelihatannya itu mmg lobang kamera, tp CMIIW yah....

gw ga sempat ngetes soalnya, lg grogi mau syuting wkt itu :P

bukannya titik kecil itu light sensor bro..? harusnya ditest dulu sih biar yakin..

iya, menurut gsmarena

[tautan dihapus]

itu light sensor.

gue baru mengamati2 hape2 SE yg berkamera depan dan yg ber-light sensor. kalo kamera depan itu, lingkarannya terdiri dr dua. lingkaran besar, dan lingkaran yg lbh kecil di dalamnya, smcm lensanya kyny. klo light sensor itu lingkarannya polos aja.

yg di w760 tampaknya sih lingkaran polos.

soal hasil2 foto di halaman sebelumnya, kyny sih emg hasil foto w760. pertanyaannya.... "dieditkah??"

wah, klo itu mmg light sensor, product manager SE bisa2nya salah. Kesalahan yg semestinya ga dilakukan seorg product manager nih, product manager divisi walkman lg... mesti gw ksh pengertian nih, mesti ikut FP dan kenalan sm teman2 disini supaya tambah wawasan soal produk yg dia jual

headsetnya dapetnya yg type hpm64 ya, yg ada tulisan bassreflex, sayang, bukannya type W stdnya mustinya hpm70 minimal

jadi blom di review neh....?? o ya kelengkapannya dapet apa aja??
