Motorola FlipOut vs Sony Ericsson X10 Mini Pro

想替手上的 Palm Centro 搵番部後繼機,因為係一部插大陸咭的 2nd phone,等了 Palm PRE 差不多一個世紀,還未有 QWERTY 的行貨,加上中文輸入法始終很陽春,所以去留意一部纖巧的 Android 手機以方便㩦帶。

參考了在市面將推出的 Android 系列,只有 Motorola 的 Flipout (或者直身版 Charm ),以及 Sony Ericsson X10 Mini Pro 比較吸引。

在比較兩部機的硬件規格前,個人先預估一下兩部手機的差異,當中加上藍綠兩色指出較徍的表現,說到尾因為這是 2nd phone,無論點都係要 ♥ 睇價錢做人 ♥:

1) Motorola FlipOut vs SonyEricsson X10 Mini Pro 意見:

  • 用上 (M)、(S) 代表 FlipOut (M) vs X10 Mini Pro (S)
  • 橫向畫面操作,一覽內容較少 (M) vs 直身畫面,畫面比較正常 (S),Moto FlipOut 的設計上預計是橫向畫面,使用上無直身畫面方面,可觀看到內容亦較少,不過 Moto FlipOut 打開鍵盤時屏幕不會旋轉,而 X10 Mini Pro 打開鍵盤時,屏幕需要時間進行 90 度轉向。
    其實一年前都已經在國內見到有同事使用類似款式的 Hyundai 橫屏旋轉手機,感覺上 Motorola 抄襲了這個概念,不過我又頗喜歡這個設計。
  • 鍵盤有上下左右鍵易容操作 (M) vs 只有左/右鍵,缺上/下方向鍵操作欠靈活 (S),聊天或上網時,始終有一個齊全的方向鍵會更好操作,以我而言當然有一顆 Scroll Ball 更討好。而且 FlipOut 的 Keyboard layout 更佳,第一排有 1-0 數字鍵,而 X10 Mini Pro 需要同時按 Fn 鍵在 QWERTY 鍵輸入數字。
  • 600MHz 推動 OS 2.1 會否吃力,flash 就更加不濟 (M) vs OS 1.6 會更順暢 (S),相信 Android OS 2.1 以上的手機要搭配 800Hz 以上的 CPU 在運作上才有暢順的表現,以同樣 600MHz 的動力,可能執行較舊的 OS 1.6 會更好。
  • 相機只有 3M 像素定焦拍攝 (M) vs 5M 像素自動對焦 (S),可以見到 Sony Ericsson 始終在影音表現更注重,無論相機質素和鏡頭都更好,更為 X10 Mini Pro 配搭自家的音樂軟件。
  • 使用到出名的 CystalTALK Plus (M),對於 Droid 用家讚好的 CystalTALK 可以在通話中把背景噪音過濾,音質比較好。從 OS, Keyboard 以及 CystalTALK 可以看到 Motorola 對操作和話音等更注重質素,反而對影音硬件只配上普通貨色,比起 X10 mini 遜色。

    對呀,因為係副機,大前想細部一點,不過都好睇價位如何。

    According to HTC’s 2010 roadmap, there is an Android QWERTY model called “Salsa” that is supposed to be launched in June 2010. However, since its announcement in Dec 2009, no more news about this phone. I guess it may already 胎死腹中….. 🙁

    @Eric 這台 HTC Salsa 真是未見過,講開 QWERTY 機就令我難以忘懷 Dell Smoke,話下年年尾 2011Q2 先至出,到時世界變成點都唔知道喲

    我反而希望HP生生性性,快d係亞洲區出部有中文的官方Palm Pixi 或 Pixi Plus,唉(發夢)……. >.<

    Palm Pre 8G 宜家賣 ~$2600,會否考慮?

  7. terewong says:

    @Eric @Mizai 我也是 Palm 的死硬粉絲,至少還在用 Palm Centro (插作大陸咭的副機),可惜 Palm 無放我們在心中,就算 WebOS 是多麼的好,Palm Pre 速度上的遲緩以及中文輸入法等的不濟,很容易給其他廠家的 Smart Phone ( iPhone, Android, 等) 比下來。
    今早 unwire.hk 有介紹「要錢唔要貨!Palm 末代產品激抵買! 」,都係 $2680,另外 hkpug 有會員優惠,都只是 $2480 的團購價。不過,好難去決定花二仟餘元去買一台過時的小東西。

    謝謝你的分析,我也是Palm 的fans, 亦同意Android 會比 WebOS 快和 User friendly.

  9. terewong says:

    用家都說 Palm Pre 的 WebOS 是設計及應用上最為 User friendly 的, 但是跟不上時代的巨輪,以及欠缺大中華用家的中文配套,成為了一個問題。

    Motorola Charm. Actually, this one is even closer to the form factor of Treo and Centro. You may consider:

    http://www.engadget.com/2010/07/06/motorola-charm-spotted-in-the-wild-said-to-be-hitting-t-mobile/

    However, as a long-time Palm user, I still have hesitation using Android, which requires a lot of “root 機” and “改 command line “. It may not be too difficult for Pro users such as you, Tere. However, for “ordinary people” like me, I want something more straight forward like Palm which all I need to do is pick up and use. Install app is just using the Palm Desktop. That’s all. Otherwise, the form factor of Motorola Charm is quite attractive……

    Tere, so far, what is your comment on Android nei?

  11. Eric says:

    Just noticed that, in the news, it said there is a “touchpad” on the rear….. quite interesting. Makes it more attractive. Not sure whether it is also in FlipOut…..

  12. terewong says:

    @Eric CHARM is nice and I like the idea of FLIPOUT to keep the phone in minimum size.

    Android has an option to root but still good enough if you use the stock ROM. Many Android users happy with their phone and the applications without ‘root’.

    For my case, after I switch from Palm to Android, it is no longer to sync with desktop PC, all the PIM sync and software installation can be proceeded through the wifi or 3g.

    It is much convenient than using the USB sync cable, and much straight forward indeed.

    多謝你的意見及分享。 Your sharings have always been very helpful to a lot of Palm users, including me. Really appreciate it. ^.^
