@TRO
kalo hpm-64nya dikasi sesuai warna casing, kek hpm-70ny w910 merah ato hpm-64nya w380 si keknya gakpapa...

ni thread tenggelem dah!

gak banyak yang minat yah ni w760??

malu ah ama thread hp kembaranny yg bagai pinang dibelah kampak (c702)!

Gw dah beli

Plus nya:
model nya bagus
speaker phone nya bagus
ada gps

Minus nya
cuma 3g data doang ga ada buat video call.
kamera juga ga gt bagus.
waktu denger lagu kadang2 lag (putus 2-3 dtk).
handsfree bawa an nya hpm 64 padahal gambar iklan di koran jelas2 tipe hpm70. gw ganti ke yg lbh bagus baru kerasa suaranya mantap.
buatan malaysia tuch, gmana ya kualitasnya?

ada yang jg udah beli?
Please commentnya juga

masalah denger lagu yang keputus-putus, itu juga kejadian di beberapa A200 lain waktu make firmware awal.

mungkin bro masih pake firmware awal jadi ada bug itu juga. coba diupdate ke yang paling baru aja firmwarenya

gw juga baru beli.
semalem ke BEC, nyari yang merah gak ktemu. adanya yang item ama silver.
ambil silver, 2.85 jt+ screen guard.

first glance, lebih bagus dari yang gw harepin.
slidernya berasa kokoh, keypadnya enak buat nulis. shake controlnya juga lebih enak dibanding w910.
kamera 3,2 mpxnya ga jelek2 banget. Java performancenya juga bagus. trus kalo katanya pas nyetel musik suka ngelek2 1 ato 2 dtk, gak kerasa tuh. suara speakernya jelas lebih keren dari w910. thank God. gak rugi deh gw beli.

@ superbonto

mw nanya dunk..tu walkmannya pake clearbass seperti w980 ato masi pake megabass? trus lemot ga, klo buka phonebookny? thx..

fonbuknya lebih cepet dari w910 tapi lebih lambat dari w850.

clear bass?? bukannya yg clearbass ma clearstereo cuma w980 doang? yg gw bli masi megabass... tapi uniknya kalo ga dikasi headset equalizerny ga bisa dirubah..., trus gw bingung gimana caranya nge lock keys tanpa ngebuka-tutup slide...

ni HP layarnya terang banget! udah gw setting 50% tapi tetep terang! lagian, a200 2nd generationnya cantik abis tampilannya...

sekarang di media managernya ada games juga! browser bawaannya juga udah sama kayak k660....

GPSnya blon nyoba, gaktau cara makenya soalna... hehehehe

cara make GPS coba maen2 ke thread C702

kok masi megabass ya? Pdhl menurut review gsmarena, mobile-review udah clearbass, yg equalizerny ada gambar2 gt..persis kayak w980..wahh jd kecewa..
