BungTRO:software,driver,servis->samsung kies
bung RC:kalo dunlud lwt wap gmpang instal java,n ribet g ribet tergantung kbiasaan..setiap seri samsung ada perbedaan tiap pengoperasian menunya
bung yoga:tiap hape kn kayak gitu,kcuali nokia yg agak beda..semua file yg d transfer kadang masuk d tempat berbeda
bung dewa:saya cuma memilih yg worth bgi duwit saya n untuk sekarang gk mau buang duit buat seri high end sony terutama X series
sori ya plend kalo saya bikin ribut d sini.hehe

Pernah pake SE, Nokia, dan LG. Pernah tertarik pake Motorola.

.....tapi ga pernah sekalipun tertarik pake Samsung.
-> dari dulu sistem penamaannya bikin pusing, hampir semua huruf dipake, dan ga tau tiap huruf itu melambangkan segmen apa (kalo SE kan jelas, K dan C buat kamera, W buat musik)
-> kebanyakan ponsel yang spec dan desainnya mirip2...
-> Entah kenapa sampe saat ini ga pernah terpukau sama musiknya Samsung. Kalaupun katakanlah sebenarnya kualitasnya bagus, berarti mungkin pas gue nyoba (punya temen) itu emang paketannya dengan headset yang kurang bagus.

Ngomong2... SE X8 ini kayaknya saingannya itu Samsung Spica ya ?

Saya kagum SE punya fan yg loyal banget walaupun SE udah kliatan seperti pelit fitur n costumer care.n gk mau ambil merk lain walau fitur lebih baik.
good luck with your SE phones..hehe

ya, itu.. ehm.. kadang2 kita juga ga ngerti.. hehe.

walau gitu kadang suka ada yg marah2 karena kecewa dan sumpah ga akan beli produk SE lagi. eh beberapa bulan kemudian, balik lagi pake hp SE soalnya ga cocok pake merek lain

saya sendiri udah pernah pake SE, Samsung, Phillips, Nokia, ehm. dan jujur kata saya sih user interface SE yg paling enak dan ga ribet. modelnya juga gak pernah pasaran.

UI SE emang yg paling enak n menarik

Oh, gue juga pernah beliin itu kok buat bokap. Samsung E590 kan ? Build quality-nya sih bagus ya, cuma emang UI-nya kurang nyaman untuk dipake, hasil kameranya juga standar, trus musiknya ga bagus...

Tapi di atas ga gue itung sebagai 'tertarik pake Samsung' karena ga gue pake sendiri.

@^
g bisa rasain jatuhnya harga selain SE.... jauhhhh amit2 dah... ada yg baru pake 1 minggu bedanya 1 jt booo.... mending lempar kucing aja d...

tapi kok kyknya SE skrg mulai ga ada yg mao terima y? jual nya mayan susah nih...
n kok Selular webnya cuma jual vivaz ma hazel y? mencurigakan...
gahaha...

gw baca disitusnya x8
"Seperti apakah dulu sebelum ada Facebook™? Dengan Xperia™ X8, Anda dapat memperoleh semua pembaruan status dan feeds berita yang diinginkan. Atau melihat siapa yang online dan langsung merumpi."

apakahn memang di x8 bisa chatting lsng difitur fb, spt iphone??

Pasar udah berubah..tahun ini adalah tahun hp touchscreen..
Low end boleh kalah tp high end samsung harus menang..hehe

hidup hazel.

Santai bro...
X8 memang ada di antara X10 Mini dan X10 "gede", secara ukuran fisik.
Tapi gak berarti spec-nya sesuai dengan posisi tersebut.
Mungkin SE sengaja merilis X8 untuk dipasang di rentang harga yang sama dengan X10 Mini karena meskipun kameranya cuma 3.2mp tapi dia punya layar lebih luas dan resolusi yang lebih bagus.

Kalau memang mau spec yang tinggi kayanya harus tetep milih si X10 gede untuk sementara ini....

nah maksud gue ya itu bro..
berharap bisa memiliki hape kamera 3mpix termurah dari samsung, tapi nyatanya dikecewakan
gue heran make tuch hape, enteng khan bro bobotnya...?
tapi ya itu, enteng juga harganya

akhirnya kapok dah make samsung, come back to SE

dulu barunya bro dapet harga berapa?

Hanya satu yg aku kecewa dari X8, kamera 3.2mp ga masalah, cuma yg paling penting itu harus ada qwerty keyboard, klo ada keyboard, bisa jadi hp killer nih.
