Makanya sub-forum GSM yang huruf depannya "M" itu akhir2 ini sepi banget kaya kuburan karena yang mau dibahas cuma dikit, itu juga gak jauh2 dari edisi kesekian si hape hero jaman lawasnya yang sekarang ditutupi juga dengan lapisan emas biar bisa dijual dengan harga mahal padahal isinya hmmm... gak usah diomongin deh kan udah pada tahu semua kaya gimana...

Gw kan masukin tuh porum ke RSS gw. Sehari cuman ada sekitar 5 posting baru, jarang banget nyampe 8. Di antara 5 posting baru itu, 3-4 yg post si EikeJeung. Klo pabriknya bangkrut, porumnya ikut2an tutup ya???
Gold Edition?? Hahaha... MAGX ternyata gak jauh dari S40. Jalanin dua aplikasi Java kagak bisa. Apalagi 6 jalan bareng... Percuma prosesor 500 MHz.

^hush jangan omongin si "M" disini

@ryolasta
bagus yg silver bro ...
menurut pengalaman, kalo hitam biasa warnanya jadi kusam kalo udah lama di pakai ... tapi liat dulu deh barangnya ... ngga berani komen macam2 dulu
ini berdasarkan pengalaman teman yg pakai PDA warna hitam dan body metal gitu
makanya gw pakai warna yg silver sekarang

emang kalo silver tuh klasik banget menurut gue... alam bawah sadar gue... entah kenapa... banda2 gue rata2 silver .... mulai dari henpon sampe sepedah...

Eh, ngomong2 temans di esato udah ada yang megang nih barang waktu CeBit 2008. Katanya layarnya tajam minta ampun. trus hasil kameranya agak over brightness gitu.

tambahan: release datenya bulan September bo' ( Confirmed) --- eh udah ada yang posting ini gak ya?

Widihhhh, September, lumayann, ga sampai akhir tahun jadi belum terlalu basi technya.

*chana menunggu september dgn pandangan menerawang jauh[ (eh itu ada cicak di dinding, datang seekor nyamuk,,hap,,hap,,

Harusnya yg masuk ke RSS subforum OOT, pasti sehari langsung penuh

sayang ya gak semua subforum ramai, jadi informasi di FP hanya subforum tertentu aja.

ayo dong Momod ramein forum yg sepi, biar FP jadi rujukan buat semua pengguna HP bermerk (emang ada HP kagak ada merknya ya?)

jadi dateng ke FP semua informasi bisa tersedia.

kok sepi sih?? ini kan henpon keren, tretnya gak boleh tenggelem. up.

Hahaha...

Sekarang sudah tidak ada yang istimewa lagi dengan "Windows Mobile 6.1" karena "Motorola Q Series" juga menggunakan "Windows Mobile 6.1" dengan harga lebih murah dan diluncurkan pada pertengahan 2008.

Selamat menantikan kejutan pada CTIA 2008 yang akan diadakan pada tanggal 1 s/d 3 April 2008.

wah ada penampakan..bakalan rame nih habis ini

kejutan apalagi?? MOTOROKR Z6i? W191??? Loe udah ga punya argumen buat respon posting gw ya?

Emang bakal ada kejutan apa sih di CTIA?
Kalo kejutannya datang dari Nokia, Sony Ericsson, atau Samsung, atau bahkan LG sih gw masih percaya aja.
Tapi kalo Motorola? Apaan?
RAZR V9xxx? V9bb17? V9xxxbb17plus?
Selama masih pake yang namanya "dagu cakil", 4 huruf kapital dengen penambahan anak cucu cicit di belakangnya, selama roh RAZR masih merasuki semua handphone Motorola, selama itu pula Motorola akan semakin tenggelam sampai akhirnya punah ditelan kebisuan alam...
Atau mau dilapisi emas aja biar dikira produk "baru" dan bisa dibandrol dengan harga mahal biar dikira produk super canggih padahal isinya itu-itu aja?

Moto Q Series pake Windows Mobile 6.1? Boleh-boleh aja, tapi...
1. Design : yang jelas gak bakal sekeren X1, tahu sendirilah selera orang Amrik sama handphone kan? Moto Q tuh jelek banget bentuknya.
2. Pasti gak touchscreen deh. Artinya pake WM 6.1 Standard, bukan yang Pro.
3. Pastinya juga gak bakal pake customized UI kaya di X1 yang dikasih XPERIA Panel dan juga beberapa aplikasi khas SE. Meskipun ada customized gak yakin gw bakal sekeren XPERIA. UI native-nya Motorola mana ada yang bagus.
4. Diumumkan di CTIA bulan April tapi dirilis kapan? Pertengahan 2008? Di mana? Motorola yang masuk ke Indonesia kan terbatas banget. Bisa-bisa malah gak masuk sama sekali ke Indonesia.

Jangankan itu, handphone kamera 5 MP aja Motorola gak punya.... katanya lagi design yang 12 MP? Kapan? Buat tahun 2112 mungkin?
Handphone HSDPA aja dibandrol dengan harga selangit, alasannya? Hahaha.... fashion? Clamshell fashion? B*ll...sh*t!!! Motorola gembar-gemborin unsur "fashion" karena dia gak punya senjata lain aja sih.. biar bisa jual handphone mahal, weks!

jadi rame beneran nih

buakakakak...

parah euy hp moto dibilang dagu cakil, bibir doer lebih cocok kayaknya

hikss...kalo gw liat hp ini pengen nangis....

kenapa UIQ 3 tiba-tiba di balap sama windows mobile...HIkss...

up... up...

gak nongol2 juga....

hehehe.. seru neh...

btw, jadi tanggal official release dari SE sudah ada belum sehh..??
Di awal2 dibilang Q2 2008, terus ada yang bilang september, ada yang blg tahun depan
Walo ntar ngaret setidaknya ada patokan...

kapan yah..... minat banget nehhhhh
