ada dong...berlaku buat semua menu yg gak cukup di satu layar
ditandai dengan garis vertikal di bag kanan (kayak di komputer)
jadi tinggal teken, trus gerakin jari atas bawah aja

Lebih tepatnya, Symbian Vivaz = Symbian X6

Apa bedanya bro
Di main menu gak bisa kinetic scrolling kan?

@samehada
bisa dong...
Kinetic scrolling kan scrolling kiri-kanan-atas-bawah pake jari kan ???
Jadi serasa gerakin scroll di mouse kompie ?
di vivaz bisa, tinggal teken dilayar, trus geser atas-bawah-kiri-kanan aja

jadi yang betul yang mana ni....?
ehehehe

@novazli
semuanya betul bro
pas kita tekan di layar, nanti di bag ujung kanan muncul bar/stick (kayak di layar komputer bag kanan)
kalo mau gerakin layar ke atas/bawah, tinggal geser jari di bag layar atau di bar/stick tsb
mirip kayak di komputer lah

jadi, dibagian layar mapaun bisa buat gerakin/geser dan ga harus pas diatas bar/stik kan?

makin bingung apa itu kinetic scrolling. samehada95, penerangan plis.

kinetic scroll itu perpindan menu atau apapun dgn cara sapuan.....jd kayak iphone / itouch yg pergeseran menu di usap / digeser di layar...vivaz di erafone dah 3.649 dan yg pro 3.899...ngiler pengen nunggu harga 2.999

hm tp bkannya tetep ga enak kalo layarnya msh resis.

Kita ngescroll list seperti contact dgn arah berlawanan dgn kekuatan tertentu yang akan menghasilkan kecepatan yang lebih tinggi apabila kita scroll dgn kuat, dan akan melemah sendirinya
coba aja opmin5 di c6, kalo scroll lebih kuat, lebih cepet kan jalannya

yup kalo masih resitif tidak nyaman scroll nya...5320 istriku ndak enak dan pergerakannya ndak smooth...jauh bgt ma itouch ku...yg layar captative

kalo di P1i, kinetic scrollnya lebih enakan pake opmin 5 beta daripada 5 final atau 5.1
tapi tetep kurang enak dibandingkan yang pake layar capacitive
btw, di P1, opmin scrollnya justru searah, jari diusap dari bawah keatas, halaman web akan bergeser dari bawah ke atas juga

setau gw deviceny symbian nokiyem prosesor ama ramnya lebih jelek dari itouch/vivaz, jadi jelas ndak smooth..

kalo gw sih udah lumayan betah ama kineticscrollingnya tube.. :P
emang perlu kekuatan lebih, tapi akurasi point-and-clicknya masih resistif juaranya.. hohoho

gann
caranya mbaut full version quickoffice n adobenya gmana??

ssmspreviewnya jga ga ada..
