nanya lagi
kalo yang merah, bekas tapak tangan gampang keliatan dibodinya ga?
kalo update status di Twitter / FB (masih musim ga sih) pake apps yang bawaan vivaz, di keterangannya munculnya apa ya? from symbian device ato mobile device/mobile web?

bodi belakang vivaz gak glossy kok, jadi gak akan berbekas sidik jari

di vivaz udah ada app fb langsung, kalo twitter gak ada deh
gw belom nyoba app fb, krn fb gw lagi deactivate
mungkin bro directore bisa jelasin

tapi layarnya tetep nyala waktu terima telpon?
ato bro tekim bisa sharing kondisi layar hape kalo lagi terima telpon, nyala ato mati dan locked?

pas nelpon, layar tetep nyala
matinya sesuai setingan di standby (setingan layar mati kayak hape biasa lah)
cuma krn vivaz ini layarnya resistive, jadi kalo layar nyentuh kulit pipi, gak akan respon
jadi kalo mau putus telpon, pake tombol off aja
selama telpon, layar gak bakal kekunci

ga lemot kayak nok** yah, dong
kalo sms terkirim (delivered) atau gagal terkirim ada tanda v atau x di sent item ga?
kalo di symbian UIQ atopun OS SE kan ada tuh

kalo gagal, ada notif tulisan failed di sms nya di folder sent items

o iya, betul juga dan sangat masuk akal
kenapa di review gsmarena dianggap sebagai kekurangan yah
wong ga akan terjadi apa-apa kalo kesentuh kulit muka...

apa ga kebalik bro?
setau gw, kalo liat screenshot vivaz di gsmarena, diatas ada tab berlogo t warna ijo (twitter punya)

pengen sih ganti X10 mini..pgn baca2 dulu reviewnya.. tp nih vivaz mau di jual dolo..beneran tuh harga X10 mini 3jt?
sebenernya sayang juga jual ini vivaz..dari hp2 yang da perna gw pake..vivaz yg paling mantab..
cm gara2 nyoba hp apel kegigit separo itu yg layarnya capacitive (lebih enak menurut gw) pgn ganti sony yg capacitive juga dan pgn tau OS Android nya itu..

mending beli ipod touch aja....trus vivaz nya di jadikan acces point dijadikan hotspot..kan ipodnya jadi serasa iphone lrn ada konektivitas internet via wifi..kalo ndak salah symbian ada aplikasi yang bisa bikin jadi hotspot ya..

oh ya bro tekim, install sms preview dimana yah?? terus udah pernah update blm? entah update firmware atau OS nya gitu??

yaaa...itu sudah maxudnya

@novazli
Di layar vivaz dah terpasang screen protector otomatis pas qta beli + dapet 1 tambahan screen protector cadangan di paketannya
Jadi di paketannya dapet : henpon, charger, hf (kualitasnya krg bgs ), kabel usb, stylus, pouch, screen protector 2 biji (1 dah ditempel di layar + 1 cadangan), manual paper

Iya ding, gw salah
Revisi : di menu vivaz dah ada applikasi twitter sama fb (preinstalled), cuma belom gw aktifin

@shater
syang banget kalo vivaz dijual demi Xten mini, secara spek hardware vivaz jauh diatas Xten mini
lagian, utk hape TS, layar 2.55inch terlalu kecil, gak enak buat ditoel-toel

sms preview dah gw install, sistemnya : dia nampilin sms langsung di homescreen begitu ada sms masuk
jadi bisa lgsg qta baca smsnya tanpa masuk ke menu message
cuma, pas mau aktifin, butuh registrasi dari operator via gprs
jadi kalo ganti kartu simcard, ya registrasi ulang (kayaknya sama providernya sms preview, nomor simcard qta dicatet)

utk update fm, gw belom pernah, krn sampa saat ini belom ada gejala2 negatif di vivaz

bro jones make vivaz juga ?
kok diem-diem aja nih

ga pake. kebetulan aja kemarin pegang jadi sempet utak-atik. hehe

kok megang doank, ga diembat?

ga nyaman ama OSnya

@jones
gak nyaman gimana ?
OSnya lumayan firendly user kok

perbedaan User Interface sama Satio apa ya? ada yang bisa kasih perbedaan mendasarnya? sehingga bs menjawab kenapa trit Satio Jarang muncul ke permukaan ?

99persen sama persis, beda di wallpaper flash(flow) aja setau gw.
Satio ga rame karena, harganya di atas Vivaz, hardware kalah, ga ada yg make di fp

@Samehada
owh....gitu ya....jd Satio cm menang camera 12 MP doang.....lg cari2 referensi hp tuch skrin yang UI-nya bagus....kepincut jg sama review LG-nya si Tekim nih....

Kalo UI bagus jangan Symbian, LG Mini boleh tuh

hahaha
ntar ane posting gambar wallpaper si mini yg bener2 jernih
hampir gak keliatan dot pixel saking rapatnya di layar
harganya juga lumayan murah utk ukuran hape layar hi-def
