did anyone actually buy this phone? Any feedback?

RM1050 Ori in Penang. Ap just Rm80 cheaper. How much in KL?

no ori unit in Pg yet. They just said about the price. Many shops cant say what the price is in Pg. They dont even know whats in the box. As far as I know other country gets a 2G memory. Those stalls said no memory in there. I suspect those are the APs. So, just have to wait.

I kinda like the idea of small form. I love the PDA feature, but I dont spent hours looking at the screen. So, I'm kinda ok for the size.

The only problem are, dont know if the Android 2.1 release early next year will provide video call, file transfer via bluetooth.

The battery is confirm not easily replace. Need to send to SE center for that if required and dont know how much. mesti kena kaw kaw if change battery...

I do agree. Is small and if people likes to reply long SMS.. not a good idea. Or those spent time typing and FB should stay away as well. But for those who just wants to read update, I guess thats just find.

The video call can be made if you get the right software installed. Need to go to android market to buy it I guess.

But remember, SE Android utilized some sort of UXP interface which sound like interesting. Want to take the risk? oh well.

The review is not as bad as I thought. Is good actually. I mean for a small device. The QVGA is enuf for a small screen but not good for some aps written for more than QVGA resolution.

Well, hope the Android 2.1 and the new UXP interface helps to lower these limitations....

I'm a guy, I dont like big phone either. I mean, I cant easily put it in my pocket. I'm using SE W880 for ages now, is time......

interesting, can AP unit be updated later? I mean now it has android 1.6. Already announce 2.1 will be release.

If include a 8GB memory how much?

Very interesting. I just want to know whether AP unit can be updated or not. Also, the warranty covers the touch screen and the LCD screen?

sounds good. since the battery and the touch screen may need service, I better get ori.


tmrw is good. I called SE yesterday, they said end of the month....

you can check whats running. Turn off GPS if you dont need it. Even the icon is not showing, you might be turning it on. Go to setting>about the phone> battery status.

You could see what using up battery. The screen so far is eating the power the most. So if you keep on playin on it, it will not last a day. Some games from android market is really addictable.

Juts got mine yesterday. Play with it and setup everything including wisepilot. If you dont have dataplan, make sure timescape is on manual mode. Or else, it will update the screen base on the time you set. Set longer to pay less but not so real time update.

downloaded bluetooth file transfer. very good

Ori RM1050. Comes with 4G memory yeee ha . 2 covers. If you choose white, it comes with pink. If you choose black, it comes with red.
Free screen protector but I removed it as it made the screen less sensetive. so I wonder if I need to have one since it is a scratc proof

Very smooth actually. No lagging at all. I install many free software from android market. The games are really fun.

When upgrade to 2.1, I think it will be even better. I hope so.

X peria Mini 5mp camera.. not bad le:

Added on June 23, 2010, 2:36 pmgot it from perangin mall, penang. Is original.

The touch screen need sometime to get used too. but it takes me a day to play around and get used to it. Yes is small, but the screen is bigger than my current phone actually. The video VGA is pretty good too. Not as nice as the vivaz HD of course. But good enuf and good quality.

This phone is perfect for those got unlimited data plan. You get all the updates you need in real time. But for those who are not, w wifi update also great


wise pilot works nice. Not the best, but it works. I need GPS when I go to KL anyway. Tested with my wife Vivaz with wisepilot, works great. next, I need to see if papago can be isntalled. I'll wait until the Android 2.1 install.

The fishing & guitar game is really fun. ha ha ha ha I personally play guitar and the phone game me a funny way of playing guitar. ha ha ha

yah.. the white actually is a pearl white. I bough the white one. Is unique to in away...


Today I tested my GPS. Wisepilot used 14% of the total battery. the display used up 55% wow. The rest are pretty low. so the display really eat up the battery if you keep on playing with it. Or else, if idle, it will take up 14%. So, assume idle mode 20% for whole day. That could last perhaps 3-4 days plus some simple call.

well, which gadget could last more than 1 day if you keep the display on more than 3-4 hours? whuaa ha ha

so, the comparison may not be fair. but, I compare to my old phone. I hardly look at the screen unless I pick up call and sms. But this current one got so many to see, FB lah, youtube lah. and the game... is killing me, then got gps pulak. Saja turn it on to go home....

waste my time only... whuaa ha ha

so far, I'm very happy with the phone. Never hang, never lag...really COOL!

the groundfloor, somewhere in the center. they sell more SE phones. they own 3 booth actually. the company name is Starfone communication. Just arrive Tuesday. So if you go last week, not yet lah. But AP got already a few weeks back.

So far, no issues. But take note on these:

1. The phone is design to get connected. So if you dont have unlimited data package, make sure to turn off the data traffic. Or else, you will accidentally update your FB, twitter of what ever you register there thru the 3G WAP.

2. The key pad is design for the mini. so is not the same as other phone. You will need to get sometime to get used to. If you have big thumb, then it will be a problem to sms with one hand. but since this is a smart phone, using 2 hands is very common. The screen is sensitive, you just need to learn. I'm almost there and only 2 days of ownership. going to sms like a pro soon . ha ha ha

3. GPS need data loading. so you need to turn on your 3G. this may take a few RM from your account. Is just some small data load. Is not much depending on locations. So, turn off all these including the 3G if you dont use it.

4. You need to PC Companion instead of PC suite. So, backing up your contact is a pain as you need to do it online. But I copy my contact to my SIM card instead.

so far... thats all...

I think if we turn off many non-related update in the GPS, no data will be downloaded. but, the 3G need to be on. The GPS it self is free, or not really. wisepilot will last for 30days trial. Later need to buy the licence. Or wait for papago or if I need, buy the weekly usage. Is around RM12 per week. Not too bad as I dont need it that often anyway. turn on GPS only when I need it when I go down KL.

Hmm, I didnt know it wont work on 128bit card. I guess some of the features you need doesnt appear in the phone anymore.

As for torchlight, u can turn it on permanently, just switch video mode and on the light. Or simple solution is download aps from Android Market.

as for managing sms, I think they are apps in android market that could help that. I dont know either. SMS is not really important for me.

honestly, to be in Androids platform mobile, it would be more fun to be techy. Or else, you might suffer some difficulties. You will have lots of questions which related to your old phones capability which you may not realized.
For example:
1. bluetooth transfer, you need to download apps from Android Market or those available free, you need to install that in phone or else, android doesnt come with that feature. so far, most android phones will not have that feature.

2. No video calls, not sure if this will be solved in the update soon to Enclair 2.1

3.NO birthday reminder, again.. download from Android market.

So, Androids phones really have lots of capability. You just need to find the one you one and install. In some cases, you need to buy it too.

So.. all the best, and maybe this phone can jump start your interest to discover the world of Androids......

yah, i installed bluetooth file transfer. Works great. can transfer while view pictures or video.

i just a saperate SMS aps. works like wonders.

also, a voice activated aps. It will read out the name of the person when calls or sms comes in. it work in parallel with your ring tone too.
