Kok di GSM Arena ditulis processornya 156 Mhz ya... ?

Facts
* Size: 93.5 x 52 x 15.8 mm
* Weight: 81 grams
* Phone memory: Up to 5MB
* Operating system: Sony Ericsson Proprietary
* Processor: 720MHz
* Talk time GSM/GPRS: Up to 3.5hrs
* Standby time GSM/GPRS: Up to 312hrs
* CPU ARM946 @ 156Mhz

kayaknya ada typo nih di press release. GSM Arena mungkin bener.

di gsm arena mmg 156 mhz, tp di tulisan di atas kok 720 mhz?
layar resistive, mungkin seperti vivaz yg tdk memerlukan stylus
warna layar 256 k, beda sm x10 mini yg sudah 16 m
harusnya harganya lebih murah dr X10 mini

Tampaknya bisa di bawah 2 juta, speknya sekelas Corby

@samehada :
Emang udah saatnya SE punya touchscreen murah...

Yup, udah gitu desainnya lebih bagus lagi,. IMO

tombol melintang di bawah layar apa ya?

berharap harganya rentang 1,5 s/d 2 jtan.amiinn.

harga murah? sepertinya itu harus dilakukan SE
mengingat kompetitor sudah sedemikian murahnya
lha wong non 3g kok
masa masih pakai paradigma lama?
seorang teman pernah nyletukin gue (menyindir): "wah elu memang berkelas, karena barang2 elu merk sony, padahal banyak merk lain yg sekualitas tapi harganya jauh lebih murah"

Gak 3G yah, mmmm bisa jadi sih 2 jt-an

gw lebih pnasaran ama OSnya..
proprietary SE tp TS? mnarik~

@tekim
Buat back, kaya Samsung Corby

not really, jangan lupa Z558 dan Aino. kalo dulu-dulu touch "nanggung", sekarang udah full touch.

Wait... Phone memory: up to 5mb
Ini serius apa bercanda ya??
Trus memori eksternal make apa dia?

@vladislaus :
Mungkin typo juga...

Kalo dari GSM Arena :
Internal : 5 MB
External : Micro SD, Up to 16 GB

What the hell T.T
K320 aja 16mb
Xixixi...
Btw, kekna di forum bule pernah ada yg bilang harganya sekitar 100 EUR deh...
Kalo IDR berarti nggak lebih dari 1.5jt ya,
Semoga

btw ini termasuk clear audio experience ga yah?

Internal memory 5MB? Processor 156 MHz???

Apa kalender gw yang salah ya? Atau postingan ini berasal dari tahun 2004 yang tiba2 bangkit dari kubur?

Sony Ericsson Yendo - W150

New people have come to Sony Ericsson; they don't remember that the company has had touch-sensitive Walkman phones, for example the Sony Ericsson W950. That is why it is called the "first full touch Walkman phone" in the press release. In reality, the confusion is caused by the fact that it is the first touch-sensitive phone on the platform (what platform is it, by the way? It is definitely not A200 as I am told in my blog).

There will be even more models like that, they are becoming the priority. One can say that the Yendo is at the bottom of the price range, other solutions will be more expensive. However, much depends on the introduction of S40 Touch, which Nokia is willing to promote using an aggressive price schedule in order to compete with inexpensive Korean devices. Therefore, the price of such devices should be around EUR 100. Being the first to announce the product, Sony Ericsson makes a preemptive strike, yet other companies are wide awake. By the time the Yendo comes to the market, it won't be the cheapest or the most powerful; it will just have the Sony Ericsson style.

The sensor screen is low-end, 2.6-inch in the diagonal, with the QVGA (240x320 pixels) resolution. On the outside, the device resembles the X10 Mini, whereas on the inside, it mimics the interface of the senior model. In the end, it turns out quite nice for the general public, just like prescription drugs. Another common feature is replaceable panels; there is one extra in the bundle; the colors are raving bright.

It is one of the first devices to sport a 3.5-mm audio jack with remote control support (and first for Sony Ericsson). Such slots are supposed to be installed on all future Walkman phones (the actual remote control needs to be purchased separately; the MH810 headset will do, albeit it costs a bit too expensive for the Yendo audience).

The device is due in October at the price of EUR 100. The latter is reasonable but not best; yet the phone will press the Korean solutions due to its different looks and good build quality. Personally I find the model very appealing; the company should expect significant sales in the segment (significant for Sony Ericsson, not the market, which is more than enough for the company).

Kalo apa yang dibilang Eldar bener, berarti Yendo akan sukses di pasaran...

^asal harganya murmer

Benar..spyro versi touchscreen ato w395 versi touchscreen lah..

lum ada bocoran harga?

menarik juga nih yendo....

soal harga, jangan diatas 1jt lah....900 aja deh....lah elm ama hazel aja 1,9jt...fitur jauh lebih lengkap....klo 1,5jt hrusnya dah HSDPA.....

@baba
keknya gak mungkin kalo dibawah 1jt
Naite aja yg jadi seri J paling rendah, pas loncing diatas 1 jt
hehehehehe

klo 1,1jt gw mau dah .....klo dia lepas 1,8jt....ga bakal bisa nyaingin corby deh....bakal jd isapan jempol belaka buat SE, coz ada genoa di harga 800rban...walopun cuma 1,3MP....

^SE sekarang kan emang nyari untung jualan hape dgn harga mahal2
kayak strategi ipon

masuk akal juga...tp iphone itu khan gara2 dimonopoli oleh operator terbaik seindonesia.....

iya juga sih
pake dibundel2 segala
dah ah, males bicarain ipon, btt aja

harga sekitar 100 euro,brarti sekitar 1,2 jt donk? biasanya harga di eropa sama harga pas masuk di indo selisih banyak gk sih? kalo gk,brarti worth bgt tuh hp

Apa kabar neh Yendo? semangat donk SE, Samsung Champ aja sudah muncul.

dari segi touchscreen memang sama
tapi dari fitur sepertinya lebih unggul yendo jika dibandingkan champ, specially music
dan harga jg tdk sebanding, mana mungkin yendo dihargai di bawah sejuta seperti champ?
kemungkinan harga yendo di atas atau setara zylo

lama bgt rilisnya?? lemoot..... keburu dilibas merk lain

ga usah blg lemot.SE tuh dah jelas pkokna pling telmi soal urusan launching beda lagi.klo.urusan teasing n announcement jagonya.buat kta tergoda.buat penasaran.bisa buat kyak kren.eh tp ditunggu2 bisa mpe berbulan bulan kmudian.

Misalnya? Kasih contoh dong... hehehe...

BTW, Nokia X3-02 adalah contoh yang tepat untuk melibas Yendo karena X3-02 adalah Touch and Type.
Jadi inget jamannya G700/G900 SE deh liat X3...

btuk sdah 3G pula n ada wlan.blum dari golongan lg cookie.ah bnyk deh ssah nih mas yendo.

minimal udah hsdpa deh buat naikin gengsi ni yendo, kecuali mau ditujukan wat pasar low end dgn harga di bawah 1jt

yg bakal ngelibas cntohnya apa ya,mungkin champ dan corby..

Champ lumayan juga musiknya,ada stereo speaker,blm lg fasilitas2 equalizer khas samsung seperti suround,wide,3D..jadi musiknya boleh diadu..sementara Headset bawaan Yendo kayaknya mirhp hpm 60,yg jelek suaranya.,nah,kalo suara speaker jelek jg,ya kelibas sama champ..mau dibawa kemana kualias walkman.. Orang indonesia mah biasanya pake hf bawaan..

Untuk hrga,kalo bnr2 sekitar 1,2 jt, masih ada harapan laah..saingan sama LG cookie yg terbaru,sekitar 1,1

btw,ngomongin soal champ,ada yg bikin ane ktawa di iklannya..

Coba liat hp yg dipake sama cowok d samping nicholas..tak lain adalah nokia C3..jelas bgt tu,cuma diilangin merknya..wahwah..hehe

Nokia X3-02 ? desainnya seperti hape cina. menjijikan. *puke*

wekkkkkkkkkk cuhhhhhh

Ternyata Yendo layarnya: capacitive.

kalo harganya sekitar sejutaan bisa dijadiin mp3 nih apalagi kalo uda ada clear bass sama clear stereo

ane udah lama pake w980 tapi sampe sekarang blm ngeh,yg namanya clear stereo tu yg mana..kalo clear bass sih ngerti..tapi clear stereo gk ada menunya..
