IMO, mending X1 pake WM 6.0 trus rilis pertengahan taon aja. Ini lebih make sense daripada nunggu sampe 2009. Jaman segitu mah udah keduluan TyTN IV ber-WM 7.0 ato (skenario terburuk dan paling memalukan), keduluan Symbian 9.5 S60 5th ed Touch.

SE, realistis dikit dong. Loe mo buang seri R, seri R mo gagal kek, mo busuk di kapal kek, gw kagak peduli. X1 ini kan kelas premium. Jangan sampe kempes sebelom balapan dimulai.

Windows Mobile 6 udah ketinggalan jauh. Motorola Q9h yang menggunakan Windows Mobile 6 aja udah release sejak akhir tahun 2007 yang lalu.

What’s New

Windows Mobile 7 will dramatically change the way we use mobile devices. It will emphasize the use of touch on the device, as well as motion gestures created by using the device. It is, absolutely, Microsoft’s effort to beat back the iPhone, and the iPhone is referenced several times in the document.

Windows Mobile 7 will use touch gestures, similar to how the iPhone does. You will be able to flick through lists, pan, swipe sideway, draw on the screen. A lot of emphasis has been put on making navigation easier and doing away with scrollbars, including a new scroll handle that allows for multiple ways of finding items extremely fast.

Windows Mobile 7 will use motion gestures, something the iPhone does not. It will not use an intricate and complicated series of gyroscopes and accelerometers. Instead, it will use the camera on the phone to detect motions and create appropriate actions. You will be able to shake, twist and otherwise manipulate the phone and get things done. The phone will be able to perform actions when placed face down on a surface, and it will know when it is in your pocket or bag.

Windows Mobile 7 will have an exciting locking screen, that will allow you to play around with it, draw on it, shake it and completely otherwise mess with it.

Windows Mobile 7 will have dramatically improved visuals, different from the iPhone and much more similar to the dark and futuristic visuals of Windows Vista. It will feature graphical transitions, subtle effects, and other things to make it more interesting to look at. This is not detailed in the document, but featured in the multitude of screenshots.

Windows Mobile 7 is designed to use the finger, not the stylus, though many devices will be required to include a stylus. It is designed to be easy to use with the hand, including one-handed, and to be fun to use and easy to understand. It is designed to be used on devices with no buttons, few buttons, lots of buttons, full keyboards, and devices without touch screens.

Windows Mobile 7 is clearly designed for better media playback, with screenshots indicating a much-improved Media Player and photo gallery application. There is talk in the document of a games mode. Mobile Internet Explorer runs full-screen web pages in a minimalistic interface, and has “tabbed” browsing, except you can switch tabs by shaking the phone.

The keyboard has been improved, but plans for a full touch keyboard, a la the iPhone, have been shelved until a future version of Windows Mobile.

Below are my detailed notes. Some of it is raw, some of it is very detailed. It is accompanied by screenshots direct from the document which show off other features planned for Windows Mobile 7.

Fisik "Sony Ericsson XPeria X1" buatan HTC.

Concept Kick Slide (kalo dalam keadaan terbuka akan melengkung) curi dari Motorola Rizr Z8.

wah, gue masih make WM 5, lom juga upgrade ke WM6 dah mo muncul WM7.

beneran tahun 2009 nih munculnya X1?
kalo bener harganya 4jt bisa bener juga
gue bisa beli nih HP hehe...

@jigonx
Cek PM bro.

XPERIA X1 akan menggunakan Windows Mobile 6.1 Professional bukan Windows Mobile 6.0 seperti yang terdapat pada beberapa smartphone (WM6 Standard) atau PDA Phone/Pocket PC (WM6 Pro) yang sudah beredar saat ini.

WM 6.1 Pro sendiri belum di-announce secara resmi oleh Microsoft.

Mengenai informasi tentang release date dan expire date di atas, sebenarnya sudah pernah di-posting di thread Portfolio 2008 secara lengkap, termasuk juga untuk accessories. Dan kebenaran datanya masih dipertanyakan karena beberapa hal jauh berbeda dengan apa yang disampaikan sewaktu Press Release masing-masing produk.

Mudah-mudahan SE belajar dari pengalaman sebelumnya sehingga tidak terjadi delay yang parah seperti jaman P990 dulu.

Seharusnya contoh seperti pada W880 kembali diterapkan oleh SE di mana waktu announcement dan release date gak nyampe 3 bulan kalo gak salah.

Dari Windows Mobile 5 ke Windows Mobile 6 tidak terlalu jauh berbeda. Dari Windows 6 ke Windows Mobile 7 sangat jauh berbeda. Rp 4 juta udah kemahalan untuk tahun 2009 karena banyak handphone-handphone yang lebih keren dan canggih.

weks... X1 rilis februari 2009..... masih taun depan...

degdegan juga nih... apalagi OSnya pake WM 6.1 yang relatif baru...... jangan2 seperti waktu dari UIQ2 ke UIQ3..... si P990... speechless.... karena gue ga ngerasain suka dukanya P990 waktu baru launch.....

OS baru itu biasanya datang dengan banyak improvement dan hal-hal baru... dan tak lupa diiringi juga dengan bugs2 baru...

First review of Windows Mobile 6.1 Professional published
February 01, 2008 [Pocket PC phone] | By Edward J. Rutkowski.

Windows Mobile 6.1 will be unveiled officially in about 2 weeks at Mobile World Congress 2008 (watch our first-hand reports from there!) but already now somebody has managed to play with it!

Here are the highlights:

* Office Mobile now includes also One Note Mobile application - apart from Word Mobile, Excel Mobile and PowerPoint Mobile, one new application is available - it can record voice notes and drawings and textual notes
* Internet Explorer now has function "Zoom Out" what enables page-overview mode and better overall navigation through web pages
* Windows Mobile 6.1 still is based on Windows CE 5.2 so no upgrade to Windows CE 6.0
* SMS chat view mode is available so SMS messages can appear in threaded-way - more comfortable to follow SMS conversations
* instead of "Settings / Memory / Running Programs" now a Task Manager is available with possibility to set settings of executed threads/processes like CPU (indication of dual-core Windows Mobile devices?) and memory
* new menu item "Managed Programs"
* the much expected improvements in usage for finger based navigation - are nowhere to be found! (apparently users will need to wait till 2009 for Windows Mobile 7 to get them)

Antara kalimat pertama (warna biru) dengan "jawabannya" (warna hijau) gak nyambung sama sekali.

Kalimat pertama (warna biru) berisi pernyataan bahwa "barang lawas belum tentu lebih jelek dari barang baru, tergantung kebutuhan dan usernya". Contohnya seperti bro inyong_pwt yang katanya sampai sekarang masih menggunakan smartphone/PDA Phone ber-OS WM5 yang notabene merupakan barang "lawas" karena saat ini sudah ada yang ber-OS WM6.
Atau juga banyak orang yang sampai saat ini masih menggunakan handphone keluaran tahun 2003 ke bawah, misalnya, sangat banyak bisa kita temui di mana saja.

Kalimat kedua (warna hijau) kalau gitu mengomentari apa ya? Apa maksudnya semua orang harus menggunakan suatu produk yang mutakhir biar tidak dianggap ketinggalan jaman?

bener bgt bro..memang ada beberapa orang aneh ( "Freak" ) di sini yg kadang kalo balesin postingan gak baca dulu baik2 apa yg mo dibalesin

back to topic,
moga aja Windows Mobile 6.1 Professional yg notabene barang baru ini gak banyak bug-nya deh waktu keluar nanti

gue org ketinggalan jaman kali

gue masih make WM5 PPC di dopod 838pro n WM5 smartphone di samsung i600.
Mo upgrade kayaknya gak terlalu significant, pengaruhnya di speed lebih kenceng katanya (tapi posisi habis di falsh ama di tambahin aplikasi kan berbeda ya), apalagi dukungan aplikasi yg belum banyak n kompatible. lebih banyak n kompatible ma WM5 (ini aplikasi juga tergantung kebutuhan lho ya...).

cuma sayang aja kalo X1 keluarnya beneran taun depan.

buat organizer... gue malah pake pure PDA Palm Tungsten T5 dengan Palm OS 5 yang belum pernah muncul2 updatenya Palm OS 6 .... lebih jadul lagi....

tapi semua kebutuhan kerja gue bisa dilayani dengan baik sama si Palm.....

dan gue meng quote statement gue sendiri di atas

udah ah.. .jadi ngawur gini....

so.... Xperia kalo harganya di kisaran 4 - 5 juta okelah.......

ngomongin selain OS.... Xperia sama G900 bedanya (secara fitur dan fungsi selain kibor qwerty)... kira2 apa ya?

HP keren *untuk kondisi sekarang*, sayang pas keluar udah basi...

pusing ah ,,

Blm tentu OS terbaru bakal lebih baik dari segi end user dibandingkan OS sebelumnya.
Contoh gampangnya aja, berapa orang yg masih bertahan dengan windows XP (salah satunya gue) dibandingkan dengan yg menggunakan windows Vista.
Menurut gue, kita liat aja dulu ntar announce Windows Mobile 6.1 Professional ini, apa kelebihannya dibandingkan WM 6
