April 13, 2010 – London – Sony Ericsson today announces a new duo which continues the iconic award-winning* Sony Ericsson Walkman™ phone legacy.

Sony Ericsson Zylo™ and Sony Ericsson Spiro™ also feature the human curvature design that is now consistent across the whole Sony Ericsson portfolio. Beautiful and timeless human curvature also incorporates an ergonomic keypad which makes the handset easy to use.

“The Sony Ericsson range of Walkman™ phones has seen tremendous success since it was first launched in 2005 having sold more than 130 million handsets to date – and we are still seeing a great appetite from consumers. Today’s announcement aims to satisfy this demand by making the Walkman™ phone range available to a wider audience.” Said Jenny Maltesson, Marketing Business Manager at Sony Ericsson.

“By combining the best of the Walkman™ functionality with a myriad of social networking capabilities, Sony Ericsson Zylo™ and Sony Ericsson Spiro™ offer consumers the chance to access and get a taste of what our Communication Entertainment portfolio has to offer.” Concluded Maltesson.

file tipe FLAC itu gmana cara ngedapetinnya? downloadkah? ato ada converter khusus dari audio cd ke FLAC?

kalo ngegrab FLAC dari Audio CD saya biasanya pake XRecode
ini juga bisa convert ke macam2 format.
atau kalau gak punya lagunya bisa download2.. kalo saya biasa cari torrent..

kok di GSMArena tertulis kalo masih megabass ya? jadi bukan clearbass donk..

Superb sound

Be good to your ears. High-definition FLAC format gives you great sound quality. Complete your W20 with a premium headset and enjoy a clear audio experience (not supported by included headset).

itu ditulis sendiri di website Sony Ericsson nya..
btw, liat tulis MegaBass di GSMArena di bagian mananya ya? saya yg gak nemu atau udah di edit ama GSMArena?

dan juga.. liat deh komentar dari SE nya sendiri.. headset yang diberikan bukan premium.. LOL..
jadi musti beli apaan? Sennheiser yang seharga 1 juta baru dapet audio quality yg dimaksud?

Megabass disebutin di halaman 4 reviewnya gsmarena bro,, coba dicek lg di gsmarena,udah gw baca 2x dan blm diedit,masih sama.. jadi yg benar yg mana nih?clearbass apa megabass?

btw,soal headset,beli yg keluaran SE aja,tp yg kualitas atas.. pake hpm 77 aja,dah hi fi quality tuh

di aplikasi media go mungkin disertakan buat convert ke flac.

media go terakhir (terbaru, versi 1.5 build 304) tidak ada buat convert ke FLAC, adanya AAC dan MP3.
gak tau dah kalo ternyata yang bawaannya Zylo secara ajaib berbeda dengan Media Go standar..
tapi pas saya update media Go saya dari 1.3 ke 1.5 yang paling baru, disitu ditulis, nambah support ponsel Zylo..
atau gak tau dah kalo ternyata kalo colok Zylo ada opsi buat ke FLAC...

mungkin ini yg dimaksud bro grupies:

The Zylo has the latest Walkman player. Across the Media Center menus, you can enjoy screen auto-rotation. The player is compatible with numerous file formats, including the regularly used MP3, WAV, WMA, M4A and E-AAC plus the MegaBass equalizer preset and Stereo widening. Surprisingly, the Zylo also supports the HD FLAC audio format – an open-source lossless audio codec.

@hikaru
iya,bro. bukan clear bass ternyata.. tp megabass..
megabass kalo dipasang headset yg non-HPM 70 enak jg kok didengerin, jd bassnya gk kegedean...kalo pake hpm 70 keterlaluan bassnya.

Btw,udah ada yg beli blm ni?

nah, lebih percaya SE nya atau GSMArena nya?
btw, SE kadang juga suka salah begitu juga GSMArena.
SE waktu itu pernah salah (yang pernah saya lihat kesalahan technical information tentang HPnya): di Yari dulu pernah disebut ada shake control, padahal nggak ada. X10 pernah disebut 18 bit, 24 bit, sekarang 16 bit (yang benar sih 24 bit, tapi nanti kalo sudah diupgrade ke 2.1)
GSMArena banyak banget pernah ngelakukan kesalahan info, tapi cape nyebutin 1-1.
jadi bisa jadi SE yg salah, atau GSMArena yg salah.. nah sekarang pertanyaannya.. lebih percaya ama yang mana? atau mau coba gambling? :P

lebih percaya pinjem orang yg udah make sendiri... setelah OK, baru beli,hehe

Lebih percaya EA di fp

warna nya masih yg pink aja ya ?

kan GSMArena punya alat test yang buat ngebuktiin kekerasan suara dari loudspeaker dan kualitas output audio yang dihasilkan dari suatu handset.

Loudspeaker test di GSMArena belum tentu bisa dipercaya bro.. w910 dibilang excellent, tapi kenyataannya...cempreng..
w980 dibilang good, tapi kenyatannya..cempreng bgt (soalnya gw pake nih hp, jd tahu betapa cemprengnya spiker ni hape)
sementara w995 dibilang average (rata-rata), padahal jauh lebih bagus kualitas suara speakernya dibanding dua hape yg gw sebutin di atas.. nggak secempreng hape2 tsb..

kan loudspeaker testnya ngetest seberapa kencang suara speakernya.. gak perduli cempreng atau nggak?
memang disitu dibilang kualitas outputnya? yang dibilang good, average, excellent, dll itu kan kencangnya suara atau nggak.. CMIIW.

kemaren waktu ane nanya di se ambas sih semua warna ada, silver, black, sama pink.....

moga2 minggu ini udah ada dummynya... penasaran gedenya seberapa....

td gw liat di bec bner cuma ada warna pink.dtoko2 biasa juga.

@hikarukaze
coba perhatiin, ada kategori pink noise/music..
kalo bro mw buka prosedur test,ada keterangan kalo pink noise/music itu ttg kualitas musik dr loudspeaker.. jadi gk cuma nilai kerasnya aja..kualitas jg dinilai.. nah anehnya di situ,speaker yg kualitasnya baik justru kdg cuma dpt kategori average,sementara yg kualitas jelek malah sering dpt predikat excellent...

loh, kan itu yang dinilai itu rata2 dari voice, pink noise & ringing... jadi kalo ringing dan voicenya bagus, pink noisenya jelek.. tetep kebantu kan?

mau dilihat dari nilai pink noisenya pun w995 masih kalah dari hape2 cempreng (misal w960, w980 dan w910)... nilai pink noise w910, w960, dan w980 justru malah lebih baik dari pada w995..

jadi masih diopertanyakan tuh, soalnya kenyataannya suara speaker w995 lebih baik dari w910 dan w960..

nah, gsmarena ambil nilai rata2nya.. kasimpulannya, semakin tinggi nilai pink noise, semakin bagus suaranya.. tapi kenyatannya..duh.. mending didengerin sendiri, atau hasil review oleh FPers aja deh..hehe

piss..

blum ada yg beli ya...ayo direview dunk...musik dan kualitas foto dan videonya...w705 ku suara musik via hpm 77 dan mw600 super dasyat dan detil bgt...bass dan treblenya mak nyus...klo zylo bgmn ya

desibel di dalam suara itu, setahu saya sih hanya kekencangan suatu suara saja. gak tau deh kalo ada pengaruhnya ke kualitas.
CMIIW.

piss juga ^^

sebenernya pink noise tu maksudnya apa sih? gangguan merah muda?hihi.
kalo emang itu bukan mengarah ke kualitas,berarti GSMArena tidak benar2 mengulas kualitas musik lwt speaker.. sangat disayangkan soalnya sebagian orang lebih suka dengerin musik lwt speaker.. tp sebagian lho

@Yoga
karena gk dipakein hpm 77,blm jelas juga kualitasnya sebelum nyoba langsung.. btw,zylo dibekali headset seri apa ya di box nya? kayaknya rada unik tu,tp bukan hpm 60. ada yg tau?

Pink noise itu adalah noise dengan spektrum yg luas.

Mungkin MH-300 seperti Yari?
