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.”

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

WVGA tuh kelipatan berapa ya?

Ya Wide VGA juga.. Jadi kayaknya sih gini :

Kalo VGA itu lebar x tinggi = 480x640, yang 1/3 dari lebar buat nambahin tinggi... Jadi deh WVGA.. Makanya berlaku buat WQVGA yang 240x400 juga kan?

heapsize-nya terbatas, bukan soal memori internal.

Dan... gw bukan salah ketik.
Kata "atau" di atas bukan berarti "sama dengan" lho.
Maksud gw seri kepala "5" itu bisa dikasih resolusi 176x220 (misal K550, Z555, dll.) atau QVGA (misal C510, W595, dll.)

@^
O.. Brarti no di dpn adlh nomenklatur hpnya toh.. He2 ga mudeng tdnya..

Btw diliat2 ni hp kalo slidenya kebuka jd mirip2 c903.. Besarnya jg ga jauh beda.. Tp lyrnya 1.8" vs 2.4", selain beda res tentunya..
Hehe ya iyalah kepala 2 ama 9 mau diadu...

so pasti ada mem ext nya...
kalo emang dibawah satu juta, ntar gw kasih tau pembokat gw ah...

btw, kelebihan nih hape dari W200 apa ya?

Alokasi memori untuk digunakan oleh program komputer (dalam hal ini, CPU henpon) selama program tersebut berjalan (running). Poinnya adalah alokasi, buka gedenya memori itu sendiri. Memori 6MB bukan berarti semuanya dialokasikan buat runnning satu program (misal, satu game Java). Alokasi dibatesin supaya kinerja san stabilitas tetap optimal. (WhiteEye, 2009)

kelebihan dari W200 : angka 5.

kyk semacam *gw lupa namanya* di kompi ya...

disaat krisis gini, mungkin juga vendor2 hp terkena imbasnya, jadinya mereka lebih banyak memproduksi hape low end dengan fitur yg terbatas....
biar tetap eksis dan ada konsumennya...

daripada gak menelurkan produk sama sekali

O.. Maksudnya kyk RAM gt kali ya? Cmiiw

Kelebihan dr w200 ya ada lah, lyr udah TFT, kamera jd 1,3mp, udah ada blutut, bisa rec radio, dll.. Tp bs jd ada kekurangan jg dbanding w200, salah satunya heapsize td itu ya, krn mem intrnal w200 rasanya lbh bsr dikit ya, 20mb? Udah gt w200 msh asli SE, ini kan kemungkinan ada Arima nya

@hwars
peningkatannya lumayan signifikan nih :
-Blutut
-TFT
asal peningkatan harganya jangan signifikan aja...
hehehe

ntar gw pamerin ke bos gw deh, buat gantiin W200 nya dia...
hehehehe

Apa bossnya ga terlalu ngikutin perkembangan hp ya? Pake hp cuma buat telp ama sms kali ya..? Tapi yang gini malah bagus nih.. Tepat guna!

Ato jangan2 hp secondary nya ya?

lho, ganti W200 ya sebaiknya setingkat lebih baik donk. W395?

Kan bossnya orang yang 'sederhana'..

so far pake t303 mantep n puas banget kalo buat pendamping g502... (belinya waktu lauching 900rban), inbox 400an, alarm 5, tanda centang delivered di sent item sms, field kontak kompatible ama A200,
UI nya mirip ama G502 gw (dan a100/a200 lainnya)... cuman ga ada 3g, m2 ama ga install aplikasi, resolusi layar beda...
emang kalo buat hape utama si masih kurang...
baguslah kalo w205 sagem emang mirip ama t303 arima, kalo buat cadangan, ga terlalu low-end banget..
