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.

whitelist ya sama kayak "accept calls"

lebih tepatnya, accept calls hanya dari nomer tertentu ajah yang udah kita masukkin...

kapan keluarnya yah...lumayan untuk seri low end, tapi bisa buat modem gak yah ...

J132 ini enggak ada kapabilitas sebagai modem. wong GPRS aja gak bisa dia...hehehe. J132 is GSM basic only

Di manual nya cuma dibilang ada 'restrict calls'..

Kayaknya sih 'accept calls' ga ada nih..

Modem ga ada lah... Tapi apa usb nya bisa dipake buat back up data ga? Suppport buat konek MPE ga ya?

Wow! Kalo emang maunya itu BACK TO BASIC ... kenapa G sekalian aja pakai yang layar Greyscale yang kayak HP zaman dulu itu, ya?!
Dulu ... HP yang paling sering I pakai itu Ericsson. Mulai dari GA628, GH688, GF768, GF788, SH888, A1015, T28s, R520s PRO, sampai yang terakhir ... yang sampai saat ini masih I pertahankan agar ON dan dipakai terus ... R520m Striking Silver.
Tapi tempo hari, pada waktu R520m lagi masalah dan lagi dalam keadaan nunggu SPARE PART ... mau G mau I terpaksa lari ke Nokia 1112i.
Karena pada waktu itu cuman Nokia aja yang masih menyediakan HP yang ABSOLUTELY BASIC. Jadi untuk sementsrs waktu itu doank I nenteng Nokia. Ini semua ulah SE yang G nyediakan HP yang ABSOLUTELY BASIC.
Poor me!

@hwars
chargernya tipe CMU-15, kabel tipis kayak nokia,ga bs copot2,konek langsung ke listrik

@adit38
whitelist? "accept call"/restrict call, tidak ada fasilitas ginian di J132,sgt basic function
contact phone hanya 300,ga bs multi number

ga bs isi aplikasi,gbr,tone.gw heran kok di spec gsmarena ketulis memori 4 mb ya??
charger nya tipe CMU-15. hf bawaanya tipe HPM-60/J tp ga ada tombol OK di panel bicaranya
volume untuk radio nya termasuk keras,bar ke-2 dr bawah aja langsung cukup keras (bar ke-1 silent)
niatnya mau nyantai pengantar tidur td malam,jd kurang pas

Ok tq bro..

Berarti ga bisa back up phonebook di PC dong ya..

Tapi emang ini cuma Hp basic soalnya ya..

Btw bukannya restrict call ada bro? Emang accept call ga ada.. Gw liat di website SE bagian try the phone ada tuh.. Di J120 aja ada.. Hehe

Oiya satu lagi bro, keypadnya keras ga? Perpindahan sub menu animasi ga? Soalnya di try the phone gitu..

Lumayan ni buat secondary..

@hwars
keypad cukup empuk.perpindahan submenu ga animasi
untuk hp dgn harga jual 300rb an (399) dah termasuk good bargain lah, dibanding dgn nokia 1208
dimana resolusi J132 lbh luas,128x128 pixel.model fisik nya jg 'berkelas',kayak downgrade W200
+ ada colokan audio 3,5" -yg bikin gw penasaran n semangat pilih ni hp (lbh sering bgt dengerin lagu2 enak n berita di fm).konon bs standby lama dengerin radio 36 jam nonstop (moga2 aja..)
+ colokan micro usb (bye2 fastport yg sux)
+ nomor xl free 17 jam* call dgn masa aktif 180 hari

Mmm gitu ya..

Tadinya kepikiran buat gantiin j120 gw nih.. Soalnya keypad agak keras.. Tapi kayaknya kok ga terlalu banyak perubahan yang berarti yah.. hehe..
Masalah fastport kalo di J120 itu terasa lebih kenceng loh dari fastport pada umumnya, gw aja heran..

Ok lah bro.. Well thx anyway..

@hwars
j120 ada whitelistnya.

Maksudnya 3,5mm jack kali bro?

Emang sih, tapi menurut gw kalo di J132 dan dibandingkan dengan J120 belum terlalu ada peningkatan yang siginifikan.. Soalnya fastport di J120 ga gitu bermasalah, dan micro usb di sini cuma bisa buat charge doang.. Kayaknya sih ga support buat konek PC buat back up phonebook ato transfer gambar misalnya, padahal juga ga ada infrared sekalipun..

Kalo layar sih emang mendingan..

Padahal dulu gw beli J120 masih 500ribuan
Btw tadi liat K330 yang item ijo keren..

Masa sih bro?

Yang ada cuma restrict call, Accept call ga ada kok..

Eh maksudnya fixed dialing..? Kalo ini emang ada sih.. Di J132 juga ada, tapi kan ini artinya melakukan panggilan untuk no tertentu saja..

Setau gw whitelist bukannya bisa menerima panggilan dari no tertentu saja? CMIIW

'whitelist' itu istilah dari merek apa? di SE gak dikenal istilah itu mangkanya mungkin gak ada di HP SE. yang mewacanakan istilah 'whitelist' di thread ini bisa jadi belum pernah pakai merek SE. kalo istilah keren 'accept calls' adalah yang dimaksud, itu baru dikenal di SE.

@heats
pernah pake k700, tp krn bertahun2 kemudian pake symbian nokia, lupa namanya di SE accept call.
Sori bro..
@hwars
eh gw itu nanya, lupa kasi tanda tanya.
He, maaf yach...

What..?
Hehe.. Ga papa kok bro.. Namanya juga cari informasi..
Btw tadi sempet liat dummy nya, nyoba keypadnya ga terlalu empuk, mungkin karena cuma dummy ya..

keypad nya rada identik dgn keypad antidebu milik nokia 1200/08/09 yg jadi satu material penutup,
otomatis emang debu jd sulit menyelinap masuk
cuman ada 'benjolan' di numerik keypad nya,tdk merata seperti nokia punya...lbh kerasa gitu

Kalo tulis sms lemot ga bro? J120 rada lemot tuh.. Kalo awal2 nulis ga lemot, tapi pas tengah2 suka kalah cepet sama ketikan jari kita, misalnya mau tulis 'sony' jadinya 'rpnx'..
