Nokia >> siapa gak kenal produsen HP asal Finland ini... E90 saingan terberat ( beware SE )

LG >> LG Viewty ( ini juga ga kalah kelas ^^ )

HTC >> HTC tytn II

Windows Mobile gak support layar lebih dari 65k mkgn spy bisa menghemat battery.. CMIIW

HTC TyTN II yang keren aja juga masih 65k..

ngomong2 proccesor-nya apa ya?

Mantap kali neh....positioningnya smartphone SE dong.... iya..processor apa RAM dan ROMnya berapa?

@Gustaurus
Layarnya memang cuma 65k karena Windows Mobile 6 cuma support layar sampai 65k warna.

@ILCapitano
Yang pake Symbian masih ada kok, yang udah diumumkan bersamaan dengan X1 yaitu G700 dan G900 dua-duanya pake Symbian UIQ. Yang masih harus ditunggu -- mudah2an 3 hari lagi -- yaitu P5.

@All
The good things about this X1 :
* Layar 3" dengan resolusi WVGA
* Video recording : VGA @30fps
* Connector : microUSB
* Memory card type : MicroSD

say no to winblows...

harusnya desain xperia.. tapi pake UIQ3.. itu baru mhanstabh..

Nanti P5 tetep pake Symbian kan? Coba kita lihad gimana head to head nya X1 dan P5.. :-)

@ryolasta
Tunggu P5 kalo gitu.

@Mata_Teduh
Yup, seri P bakal tetep pake Symbian UIQ dan QWERTY. Tunggu 3 hari lagi buat P5.

Di sini khusus buat ngomongin X1 aja ya?
Info lagi : 3.5 mm jack.

Keren... Keren... Keren... Dahsyat... Akhirnya SE keluarin jg The Real Ultimate One! (minjem nicknya TS...) heheheheh... Siap2 nabung deh...

Buat gw ga ngaruh banyak selama smartphone/PDA blm bs install photoshop...

menurut gue winblows cukup bagus untuk PDA, selain user friendly (menurut gue lagi) juga bisa ngetes program yg menggunakan C#.. Arc slidernya cukup keren dan blm pernah ada saat ini (cmiiw)

Tapi kok anehnya masih pake aGPS ya??
