Mantab banget neh hp

Windows Mobile lagi

Wi Fi nya udah b/g kok.
menarik nih HP, sayang cuma 3.2 MP, knapa ga 5MP ato 7,2 MP skalian yak?
pasti mantafffff tuh kalo kameranya segitu.

Untuk lebih jelasnya tentang Windows Mobile dan hubungannya dengan LCD dan jumlah warna, kalau sempat silakan baca-baca di blog Windows Mobile ini : Having More Colors Is A Good Thing, Isn't It?

Di sana dijelaskan kenapa Windows Mobile sampai saat ini belum bisa menggunakan layar lebih dari 65 ribu warna (16-bit) (meskipun secara teknis Windows sendiri sebenarnya support sampai 32-bit/16 juta warna).

sebenernya WM6 bisa smp 16 juta warna sekalipun, cuma mungkin dengan pertimbangan semakin banyak jumlah warna malah semakin menambah berat kerja prosesor makanya cukup dikasih 65 ribu warna aja ya..cmiiw.

arc slider tu maksudnya sliding bengkok gitu ya? kayaknya kok mirip di hp motorola baru yg seri apa gitu deh..

@Sabre_Zoo

Tul.

Lagipula, kamera 5 MP "disimpen" buat Paris dan (mungkin) Beibei.

Kamera 7 MP "disimpen" buat seri Cyber-shot (K atau C).

bukannya qwerty geser kaya dopod? btw, model arc slider di X1 ini blm pernah ada deh kayaknya di pda yg lain?? cmiiw.

kaya' tytn II (kaiser, kalo ga salah) bro, itu juga aga' tilt dikit.

tapi . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

bener kata b0_risk, ni ponsel kelas berat

prosesor kenceng, memori gede, layar lebih "padet" & lebar, mini USB, microSD, gps (mudah**an masih support garmin mobile), dan masih "banyak" lagi. jadinya "kebanyakan", pasti harganya juga "banyak"

sementara masih M600 dulu deh, tapi kalo tabungan dah cukup, trus blom ada Mnext. kaya'nya diembat juga nih

Hayo2, terus apa kekurangannya dibanding merk lain ??
E90 uda lewat kan? Comunicator Nokai yg baru gimana, lewat kaga.

Yang pasti Windows Mobile uda better dari Symbian, apalagi 'cuma' Symbian S60 huhuheuhe.

@TRO
Taruhan bro pasti ntar ditanyain lagi soal color hhhehee

HSUPA, kayaknya cuma jadi pionir doank. lah donk dukungan jaringannya minim

hihihi... kalo dibandinging ma merek tetangga, seri EGO... selama ngga bisa touch screen .. kalo browsing masih geser kursor sana-sani, atas bawah, kanan kiri.. capeee dehhhh.... pegel tangan nehhh .... browsing nyuamannn tuh pake touch screen...

X1 spec mantap... terus apalagi coba yang kurang.. wifi lengkap... jadi ngga ada lagi ntar yang tereak2 pake SE ngga bisa akses hotspot gratisn dimal2 heheheh

Memory
* Phone memory: up to 400 MB
* microSD™ memory card support

kok sepertinya udah gak pake M2 lagi nih? ada apa gerangan dengan SE??

Soal pake micro sd, bukan pake M2... bukan karena X1 odm nya HTC kale yah...??

setelah dipikir2 mengingat ni produk oem dari HTC ,kyknya klo LCD buyatan HTC (dopod,xda,etc...)

gak gitu bagus yah saturasinya jauh banget pas bandingin sama PPC Samsung ,jangankan Samsung sama M600 gw aj kalah bening (bukan berdasarkan 65k ato 260k,tapi kecerahan serta vivid displaynya) itusih menurut pengalam gw pk xda bener gak tuh??

TRO warnanya cuma 65k....
