07 April 2009

Bring your beat to the street with the new Sony Ericsson W205 Walkman™. The W205 makes the Walkman™ phone experience more accessible to consumers and is perfect for those who want all the classic Sony Ericsson mobile phone features while enjoying music on the go!

London – April 7, 2009 – Get the most out of your best music and favourite radio channels with Walkman™ player, FM radio and TrackID™ music recognition. The slider mobile phone comes with a complete package of entertainment features and the power to set up playlists to ensure you have the right music no matter the occasion. Share your tunes with friends via the speaker phone function – if you love your music they will too.

Need a change? Tune into the FM radio to listen to the latest news, music, sport commentary and talk shows. Heard something you like? Use TrackID™ to name that tune and artist, and you can even record a sample of a song from the radio to use as your new ringtone.

“The W205 is perfect for those who love portable music but have never had the Walkman™ phone experience.” said Timo Maassmann, Marketing business manager at Sony Ericsson. “The W205 is a stylish slider phone allowing you to enjoy your music wherever you are – whether it’s on the bus, at college or chilling in the park. You can also share more than music with the 1.3 megapixel camera. Capture the action in stills or video and send them to friends via MMS or via Bluetooth™. The multiple phonebook function is an added bonus - share your phone with your family but keep your contacts separate from theirs.”

betul... 1 respect dari saya buat anda

Baik t250 ato t303 keduanya sama2 Arima.. Cuma beda UI doang..

T303 lbh bagusan dikit.. Dia selain support 5 alarm, juga bs set msg alert per contact lyknya A2 generasi ke 2..

Dan fitur yg lumayan bgs buat hp lowend yaitu bs rekam radio buat djadikan ringtone..

Dan di w205 ini sdh support utk itu mengingat spec & UI nya lebih kurang sama dgn t303, 3 softkey layout, 1.8" 65k TFT..

CMIIW..

Ah, iya nih. SE kayaknya agak telat deh soal resolusi.

Harusnya layar 128x160-nya SE tuh udah naik standarisasinya jadi 176x220, trus yang 176x220 itu udah jadi 240x320.....

Terus yg 240X320 jadi 480X640.
hehehe
SE yg feature phone soal layar kalah dengan nokia, samsung, dan LG
6260slide aja layarnya udah HVGA.
Kapan giliran SE ya?

Bener juga.. tapi rada OOT dikit nih..
Kalo nokia malah dari 128x160 langsung ke 240x320, ga pake 176x220..
Belakangan low end nya kayak nok 5000 udah 240x320 juga walopun tetap 65k..
Padahal harganya di kisaran 1j-an juga..

Berarti res 128x160 bener2 low-end se low-end2 nya..

berarti sekarang HP2 SE yg low-end ngak ada yg "layak beli" yah? (paling ngak, buat kita2 yg di FP ini)

zaman sekarang kyknya pixel gak dipatok *VGA deh...
gak mengikuti hukum kelipatan VGA...
pixelnya ngacak semua...apalagi kalo hape2 landscape...
Xperia kan gak ngikutin kelipatan VGA

paling aneh LG --->240x400 ???

sekarang masih tren di QVGA...padahal dah taun 2009...
bener2 ketinggalan sama jepang...

Nope.. Its WQVGA.. Wide Quarter VGA..
Sebenarnya W995 sebagai feature fone juga udah WQVGA kok.. Resolusi videonya tapinya..
X1? 480x800 = WVGA

Lah.. Ngerondanya kan malem, makanya bisa OL siang2... LOL

Ini pada ngomongin apa sih kok tiba2 ke resolusi layar semua?

Guys.... lihat2 dong... W205 itu kan angka setelah W cuma "2"... dan jangan harap resolusinya VGA atau apapun selain maksimum 128x160.

1 : 96 x 64
2 : 128x128 atau 128x160
3 : 176 x 220
4 : 1028x768 --> In your dreams...
5 : 176 x 220 atau QVGA
6 : QVGA
7 : QVGA
8 : QVGA
9 : QVGA
