Sony Ericsson Press Release :

Sony Ericsson bolsters its entry range with a duo of phones that offer effortless ways to stay in touch

17 June 2008

Sony Ericsson today announces two new entry-level phones, designed for lasting communication. With superb talk and standby times, torch functions and FM Radio the J132 does the basics well. Add the camera and Bluetooth™ functions to the K330 and you get further features on an equally straightforward phone.

Singapore, 17 June 2008 – Two new candy-bar phones from Sony Ericsson, designed with simplicity and value for money in mind. The J132 is a talk and text phone with FM radio and stereo hands free kit; the solid feel and dust-resistant keypad make it an ideal everyday companion. For those wanting a clear-cut camera phone, the K330 with video capture and Bluetooth™ sharing is the obvious choice. This phone also offers FM radio listening via speakerphone or stereo headset.

“There are certain phone features, such as a large phonebook and torch functionality, that are considered key to consumers in developing markets ” says James Marshall, Head of Portfolio Marketing at Sony Ericsson. “We’ve made sure that both of these phones pack all of the essential features and appeal to anyone wanting a durable, no-nonsense mobile.”

Everything about the J132 is uncomplicated. Its clear and bright screen coupled with its one-click shortcuts and easy-to-use navigation key means that you are ready to text, search for a number or access the FM radio without fuss.

Since the K330 supports Bluetooth™ it can easily be teamed up with handy accessories such as the new Sony Ericsson Bluetooth™ headsets HBH-PV715, 720 and 740.

Belom ada yang beli ya ni hp?

Btw tadi liat dummy yang warna item ijo..

He.. Keren juga buat low end.. List ijonya bikin ni hp terlihat sporty..

@Tekimania
Bro.. beli ni hp gih.. katanya ngiler kan...?

Ntar kalo kira2 ga cocok ya gw bersedia beli secondnya kok..

Jadi separonya harganya kan?
*mau enaknya doang*

Ada reviewnya disini

Summary. I think K330 is a completely unnecessary model. It doesn’t look good, it’s not that cheap either, it has nothing new, and it has no specialty. This is the umpteenth model in the entry-level segment; T280 is at least much more elegant and a while ago K series models with a 3xx model number have been positioned a bit higher regarding their specs.

Dari reviewnya sepertinya ni hp ga ada bagus2nya..

Iya emang... ni orang kayaknya emang ga pake basa basi.. apa adanya emang..

Liat aja komennya :
I don’t know what’s with Sony Ericsson these days, or it might be that only we get defective pieces, but after T700 and S302 this model also has a terrible sound quality and tampering with the volume won’t help.

Straight to the point..

Seleranya bener tuh... emang bener kan suaranya cempreng?

emang cempreng kok. tapi.... emang kalo speaker cempreng, dunia gw kiamat ya? ROFL

Btw, kalo seri J sebelom J132 (J100~J210), masih blom buatan sagem kan???

Baru beli ni hp kemaren.. Warna Green on Black ..

Terserah mau dibilang si Hongaria kalo ijonya kayak sayur ato apa kek yang penting gw suka..

Lumayan buat upgrade dari j120 sebagai hp secondary yang sekedar buat telp ma sms..

Kelebihan dari J120 :
- Bluetooth.. Jadi gampang buat transfer contact yang banyak dari hp gw satunya..
- Daya tampung contact 1000 x 3 nomor tiap contact, sms muat 450..
- Keypad terasa lebih nyaman..
- Layar jelas upgrade dari j120..
- Tipis, simple..

Kekurangan :
- Sms ga support smiley.. Padahal j120 aja udah support..
- HF bawaan cuma hpm-60, yang kualitasnya jauh di bawah hpm-62 bawaan j120.. Hpm-60 Ini jenis HF keluaran SE yang gw rasa kualitas suaranya di bawah rata2.. Ga ada bassnya sama sekali.. Jadi mirip bawaan low end nok**

Tambahan lagi :
- Cuma kamera VGAnya kayaknya parah banget.. Mungkin lebih jelek dari t250 yang katanya cukup bagus ya? Lagian gw ga gitu pake juga lah..
Terus baru perhatiin videonya 3gp cuma mentok di 128x96, tapi udah 15fps.. Perasaan w810 gw dulu yang res 176x144 aja cuma 7-10fps.. Jarang coba yang res 128x96 juga sih..

- F/w R1CC001, padahal di semcblog f/w R4 semua.. Aneh.. Ato ketinggalan jauh banget?

- Gw beli di SESC ambas.. harga 749rb.. Tadinya mau beli di batavia di belakangnya, harga cuma 680rb.. Beda jauh sama SESC nya.. Tapi kok dusnya ga disegel plastik kayak di SESC, jadi ragu mau beli..

OOT dikit..
Pas gw di SESC ada cewek ama cowoknya mau beli hp nanya2 ke penjualnya.. Dia tanya yang udah 3G yang mana ya mas? Soalnya saya kemaren beli T700 tapi kecele pas ampe rumah ga bisa buat 3G..
**dalam hati gw padahal kan udah HSDPA??**

Terus dijawab sama yang jual: oh kalo yang bisa 3G ini aja K770..
**berarti selama ini anggapannya 3G itu sama dengan videocall**

Gw sih cuma ketawa aja dalem hati, mau kasi tau ntar dikira sok teu lage..

Baru beli hari ini di telesindo, you get what you paid, fitur standar banget, kualitas kamera so-so, lumayanlah kalo cuma buat pajang foto di fb ato fs. Kualitas layar aga bikin pusing dikit (ga tau kenapa ya, gw sih jadi rada pusing kalo liat layarnya), yaaa ga ada yang menonjol, cuma keypadnya aga kurang enak aja sih awal2nya, sekarang dah lumayanlah.

Kualitas sinyal oke tuh, gw pake 3 yang notabene sinyal jongkok di daerah lembah depok (lembah gitu...) masih aman2 aja, walaupun untuk inetan ga bisa (jelaslah, sinyalnya super duper jongkok)

Kualitas headset, kalo buat dengerin radio ma ngobrol oke lah, lagian gw ga terlalu suka bass mendentum gitu, seakan supir angkot dengan eqnya yang berbentuk "SMILE" xD~

Satu lagi, fungsi torch, ini mah strategi marketing doang, apanya yang torch, sinar segitu mah cuma cukup buat ngeliat isi mulut doang xD~

Overall, hape yang lumayan oke kalo usernya cuma butuh buat nelfon dan sms aja (dan ini sedihnya apply ke gw xD~ ), pricenya turunin lagi sih seharusnya. Sama seperti kata oom di atas, ga peduli si hongaria ngomong apa, gw adem ayem aja kok makenya

TAMBAHAN :
Kotaknya....ampuuuuuun, penghematan betul xD~~, lebih eksklusif kotak minyak firdaus kemana-mana xD~~

^
pernah beli firdaus ya? LOL

Maksudnya seakan2 ada efek kayak 3D gitu ya bro..? Iya emang, karena perubahan warna layar dari berbagai sudut kontras banget.. Diliat dari sebelah kiri jadi terang banget cenderung pucat, dari sebelah kanan jadi gelap banget..
Tapi ya masih mending lah udah TFT ga kayak UBC ato CSTN..

Pernah make ya bro..

Btw f/w bro versi R1CC001 bukan?
Rasanya ada semacam bug.. Kalo udah nge-lock tampilan standby masih 'Menu' dan 'Contacts', bukan 'Unlock' ato tanpa tulisan.. Jadi kalo dipencet baru tau kalo ternyata dalam posisi terkunci.. Terus sayangnya search phonebook hanya bisa huruf awal aja ya? Misalnya cari 'Budi' hanya bisa ketik 'B' aja ga bisa 'Bu', ntar malah pindah search yang awalnya U lagi..
Gw berharap f/w update bisa ngerubah ini.. Tapi kemaren coba update di SESC dibilang system masih rusak.. Ada yang bilang malah belum ada update..
Anehnya walopun ga support USB kalo kabel data dicolokin ke PC dia otomatis langsung ngecharge tuh.. J120 dulu gw kayaknya ga ada respon sama sekali tuh.. Tapi emang ga respon apa2 sih selain ngecharge...

Oiya fastportnya lumayan kenceng dibanding k630 gw.. Tapi sayangnya di sms ga support smileys.. Padahal lumayan fun kalo ada smiley kan.. J120 gw dulu aja bisa..
