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.

keypad J132 keras banget. males gue ngetik SMS. gue juga punya J120, tapi gue justru lebih suka J120 yg lama deh. heheheh.

nyesel deh beli J132, cuma bagus animasi dan suara ringtone doang.

O gitu ya? Gw juga tadinya rada minat sama ni hp untuk gantiin j120 gw.. tapi karena ga terlalu banyak peningkatannya ga jadi deh.. Untung ga jadi beli.. Hehe..

Btw gw ngerasa j120 masih rada keras juga tuh keypadnya terutama kedua softkeynya karena dia agak naik ke atas gitu.. Mungkin juga gw pas beli awal2 keluar.. Gw pernah coba demo unitnya udah ga gitu keras kayak punya gw..

Eh kalo ngetik sms lemotan mana ama j120?

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..

IMHO : bila hape punya mem internal (walopun cuma beberapa ratus KB), brarti tuh hape bisa diisi wallpaper en ringtone...jadi bisa dikoneksikan ke komputer...
Nokia en SE jadul aja bisa diisi ringtone polifonik lewat komputer
(kayak counter2 pengisian ringtone di mall)
Pasti lewat komputer kan...

Btw tadi liat K330 yang item ijo keren..

Iya...gw juga ngiler k330....lebih milih k330 malah....

tapi kok tritnya k330 sepiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii

Keknya salah satu hape terlemot didunia dalam hal ngetik sms : J120 dah...

Semoga seri J berikutnya udah diupgrade....

Masa hape lowend yg notabene cuma bisa sms en telp, eh fitur smsnyan dibuat lemot....trus apa yg mau diunggulkan.....

g juga pake kok J132 beli Rp.395.000 warna item

menurut g keypad nya ok kok
jauh lebih enak dari C702 saya malah...

K330 penampilan emang lbh keren,tapi pake fastport (sbg earphone,hf n charging)....nilai Minus bgt buat gw
sms di J132 ga lemot2 bgt kok,cukup normal,ga masalah buat gw yg ga butuh sms-an secara kilat
kpn lg ada hp 300rb an dgn filtur yg 'melebihi' harga jualnya..

@^

Bisa multiple phone book gak ?

Dulu gue pernah pakai seri J120 .... nggak bisa dikombinasi antara contact yang ada di SIM card sama phone memory

kelemahan terbesar SE J132 ini adalah:
- phone book gak multiply (makanya ni hape jadi hape buat nomor GSM sekunder gw)
- sms storage gak sebanyak kayak motorola yg low-end nya aja ada yg bisa nampung sampe 750 sms
- tactile feedback keypadnya gak sesuai harapan bagi texters (mungkin karena gw dah kebiasa pake SE P1i kali yach??)

kehebatan SE J132 ini adalah:
- 3.5 mm Universal Audio Jack
- Long-life battery (stand by & talk time, gak kayak Nokiyem yang hebat di stand by tapi dodol di Talk Time)
