SE cuma LOGO-nya doang, tidaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaakkkkkkkkk. . . . . . . . . . .

I'll miss SE butterfly keyboard, I'll Miss SE

harganya kira-kira kayak siapa ya...

mirip samsung F700. gimana ya... kayaknya fitur2nya blm banyak kepake deh buat gw yg sekarang. gw skip yg ini dulu deh. karena ga bakal sanggup beli juga yg <3,5 juta ada ga ya? paling C702

sama bro, gw jg gak demen hp model panjang gini
lg ngincer C702 juga

It looks really really good yah! Keren abiesz...
Tapi gw punya bad feeling neh. By the time it gets released, udh rada basi. Mudah2an sih gak bener ya.

aneh juga ya ditulisnya sih baru keluar Q3 2008 tapi uda di beritain skrg,jadi bikin penasaran jak...

harga nya bisa ama kyk E90 waktu keluar pertama nih kalo liat spek nya kyk gitu...

wah wah wah... udah langsung rame nih...

top bener nih gebrakan SE...

seperti yang sudah ditulis diatas, mudah2an bener2 ngga molor keluarnya, dibilang Q2 2008, berarti sekitar April - May 2008.... kalo kelamaan keburu basi..., btw, belum ada info perkiraan harga yah....

Gw naksir berat nih, mudah2an pas keluar ngga gila2an harganya, 6 - 7 juta lah, jadi akhir tahun bisa di bawah 5 juta... ngarep nehhh

nanggung ah hp ini, hari gini gak ada video call, buang aja ke laut he..he

KEREENN !!! Jatuh cinta pada pandangan pertama neh gw. Fiturnya uda diatas E90, Jadi kaya hp gabungan E90, HTC Touch, Dopod U1000 , pengennnn.

soal video call, bener nih udah confirmed ngga ada video call... busyettt dahhhh.... video conference juga bakal ga ada donxxxxxx

ui-nya gak nahan keren bgt+motion sensornya lage.Kayaknya udah mendukung TouchFlo mirip HTC touch

Truzz truzz.... maksudnya optical joystick navigation apaan sih..??

Dari yang opernah gw baca di esato sih itu berarti : Brush your finger over the navigation key to move pointer on screen.

Jadi ada 4- way d-pad dan optical slab kaya yang ada di laptop, buat gerakin pointer/cursor di layar, semacam mini mouse lah.

oh geto... kayak navigation nya ipod kali yah... kayak touch pad di notebook

************************************************
Di ajang pameran Mobile World Congress 2008 yang berlangsung di Barcelona mulai hari ini, Sony Ericsson curi start dengan membuka tabir 7 ponsel yang akan dirilis tahun ini. Yang paling menarik adalah perangkat XPERIA X1 yang ber OS Windows Mobile, dengan ketebalan body 16,7 mm, yang tampaknya untuk mengimbangi pasar Communicator E91 dan HTC TyTN II yang kini dianggap kian merajalela .

XPERIA X1 yang merupakan perangkat GSM ini terlihat lebih kompak namun tidak mengorbankan ukuran layar, dengan layar touchscreen WVGA 3 inch (lebih unggul dari E91 yang tidak berteknologi layar sentuh) dan design slider menyerupai HTC Shift memuaskan keyboard fans dan touchscreen fans. Kelengkapan koneksi juga lengkap dengan dukungan bluetooth, Wi-Fi, HSDPA, HSUPA hingga fungsi GPS (koneksi dengan satelit GPS). Tidak lupa bagi pencinta audio video on the move sarana slot memori Micro SD telah tersedia, lengkap juga dengan colokan standar 3,5 mm untuk headphone Shure anda. Tersedianya kamera 3,2 megapixel yang merupakan ukuran ‘pas’ sebagai attachment pada email / dokumen, serta kemampuan browsing internet juga mendapat perhatian dari Sony Ericsson dengan tersedianya 9 website pilihan untuk ditampilkan pada satu layar untuk memudahkan akses pada site favorite anda .

Jantung dari XPERIA X1 adalah chip dengan kemampuan prosesor 500Mhz Arm CPU. Perangkat onsel ini akan dirilis pertengahan tahun 2008 dengan harga yang belum di tentukan. (Sumber: [tautan dihapus])

mantaapp...fitur sih top yah mnrt gue..cuma kalo dari design..hmm..agak2 kuno gak enak..gua sih selalu demen produk2 SE yg konservatif2..P1 tuh masih lebih bagus menurut gua dari sisi design..biasanya SE biarpun konservatif tapi tetep keren..tapi yg ini kok..hmmmmm....tapi tetep gua suka deh..hehehehe..

video call juga gak perlu2 amat sih gue..hehehe..gak perlu malah..cuma sayang bgt ya baru 65 ribu warna..hehehe. jadi inget T610 gue dulu....

tapi pake windows mobile 6.0 apakah akan terjadi serangan2 virus khas windows?? soalnya selama ini pake SE enaknya kan bebas dari virus..ribet donk ya kalo virus2an gitu..

tapi most of all..MANTAAAPP...dan hebatnya..kayanya gak ada rumor2 nya ama skali yah??? hebat banget sembunyiinnya SE...kalo P1 kan ada tuh..P5 ..P3..P10 kampung rambutan.. dll dll.. malah aslinya aja belom tentu ada..gosip en design2 bikinannya udah rame (bahkan tabloid pulsye udah nampilin 2 kali..hahaha)..nah ini kayanya bener2 rapet..atau gua yg kuper?? ada yg pernah denger selentingannya gak ttg X1 ini?

selama ini sih sony kalo bikin sub-brand..pasti sukses ya..walkman (sampe orang nyebut music player aja walkman..padahal merk) kasus yg sama juga terjadi pada discman..handycam (yuk kita beli handycam..yg dibeli entah merknya apa.) Bravia(belom sehebat diatas)....koreksi gua ya kalo salah. moga2 XPERIA ini sukses dah..

menurut gue sih harga pertamanya 7.2 juta..SE sih biasa masuk akal harganya..gak hasil khayalan..hehehe aneh2 aja hp lah 12 juta..hehehe..

oke deh..sekian dan MERDEKA...nyil unyil unyil unyil....

@RAIN_MASTER
Sekali lagi tentang layar 65 ribu warna : ini masalahnya ada di OS nya, yaitu Windows Mobile 6, yang memang hanya support maximum sampai 65 ribu warna.
Tapi dengan resolusi WVGA, yakin aja deh layarnya pasti superb.

Bocoran tentang X1 memang agak2 rapat, gak seperti yang lain. Memang ada spekulasi sebelumnya waktu ada berita (beberapa bulan lalu) bahwa SE akan bekerja sama dengan HTC untuk bikin smartphone dengan OS WM, tapi tentang design nya memang si Venus pada gak tahu sama sekali. Malah P5 (Paris) yang ditunggu-tunggu belum muncul sampe sekarang (masih menunggu hari Rabu).

Tro, emang P5 mau bener2 di umumin yah... ngga malah bersaing tuh ama X1 kalo launching berdekatan... tapi ngga papa sehhh... biar SE lebih banyak pilihannya.....

Selain P5, apalagi nih yang bakalan diumumin..??
Mudah2an aja semuanya kluar tahun ini
