IMO this phone has everything that's good in Series 60 and in Smartphone 2002 + Great hardware.
I just can't believe my eyes.

I've never used a phone by Sendo-
but there is no denying the power of a Series 60 phone-

This definitely puts major pressure on Siemens and their 'still delayed' SX1-

And, in my opinion, this totally trumphs Nokia's own 6600...

Posted by: ciscoboi

I'm very impressed. But very annoyed now. With the P900 Officially announced yesterday, the 6600 and SX1 coming out soon, this changes my mind about what hardware to get. Given the fact that Nokia next week may announce more new hardware, hopefully they will bring a worthy competitor. However, I'd doubt they will have a device with 32mb of User accessable ram on a device. Maybe Nokia will be creative and integrate a flash into their new phone....

OMG OMG OMG I"M FREAKING OUT!!!!!!!!!!! THIS IS THE PHONE OF MY DREAMS!!!! I'M WILLING TO SPEND UP TO 500 BUCKS IN IT, WHEN IT COMES OUT!!!! JUST READ THAT IS COMING TO TMOBILE!!!! WHEREVER IT ARRIVES IN THE WORLD I WILL BUY AN UNLOCKED ONE TO WORK IN THE US!!!!!!! AMAZING PHONE!!!!!!

PERFECT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

:wowwow:

1 Question: ANy one know the actual size???

Posted by: sc0rpio

impressive specs. camera flash, sd support, hefty RAM, sendo's version of PC suite, included apps on cd, voice commands. let's see how the hands-on reviews are before getting overly excited (difficult, i know

).

gotta love the competition in the smartphone category!

Posted by: ranz

sc0rpio: that's exactly what I was saying earlier, I can't wait to see a review on this baby, and some REAL pictures instead of this simulated image, so we can check out the thickness, the screen, and figure out what joystick it uses, cause I can't really understand what this joystick looks like and what are the moving parts!
I'm guessing a review will come along soon... especially if they plan to release it before the end of the year!

PhoneManiac: that was kinda ma initial reaction, I was stunned and speechless

it's suppose to be quite small.. it really is lightweight.

What I love most is the "homescreen" that actually works just like "smartphone 2002"'s great homescreen feature.
This is simply A M A Z I N G.

Just found an article about this phone this morning. Wow!! A Series 60 smartphone that is not handicapped in anyway! I.e...

Camera with flash
Hot swappable MMC and SD mem cards
65k screen, normal button layout, GraphiX co-processor for a smooth real-time viewfinder
64 voice polys
Built-in MP3 player
32 free megs
Plus, an attractive brushed metal finish

I can't find any size specs on this phone, but it does say that it weighs 120g, therfore it weighs 10g less then the 3650 and 10g more then the SX1.

The screen size is the same as the SX1. Can someone photoshop up a comparison of the sizes of these phones based on the fact that the screen sizes are the same.

Finally, here is a link to the official Sendo X site.

Well, if you live in the US, I'd say it's seriously flawed, along with
all the others mentioned - no 850. That means it flat out doesn't
work on a substantial part of GSM as deployed in the US. I guess I can still dream that one day handset manufacturers will actually consider the US in their product roll-outs - or maybe that US providers will flat out refuse to carry products that don't. I know the non-US market is much larger with far more people willing to change phones with each new feature so I guess I don't completely fault the manufacturers. But man, is it so much to ask, at this point, for 850 support in at least 1 of the new devices that really seems to have it all? Nokia did it with 3600/50 and 20/60,
Seimens did it with S55/56 and SL. But not 6600, SX1, or this, or
even the MPx200 (made with an American OS by an American
handset manufacturer - yes, I know, it probably wasn't made by Motorola but it's got Motorola's name on it so they had to, at least, approve the specs). One day...

Maybe they'll come with something comparable to the t610-t616.

I was speaking feature wise. The phone will work fine for me. It would definatley suck if you would not be able to use it where you are.

Posted by: nemik

*sigh* US has to be special again with its 850 band, as if 1900 wasn't enough :

.

but it will work fine for me with t-mobile as well. oh i can't wait for this phone. seriously, if this one's rf and sound quality is as good as 3650's (even a tad worse i could live with) i can forget all about the SX1.

It has 1900Mhz so it will work in North America (USA & Canada & Mexico). My only issue is ...Remember Microsoft's first initiative into smartphones...."Stinger" and Sendo was the first to announce they had a device?!!! Well until 2 competing companies released their details, then Sendo gets screwed by M$, then launches a lawsuit, then bails out of Microsoft Stinger (this was due to M$ had an exclusive contract with them.) Well, that didn't go so well at all. Then, this................now this time its Nokia that's got a stranglehold on the Symbian OS. I just hope that it actually makes it to market; not just another prototype hype!!!

This spec is awesome; especially because it's in a T-616/630 form factor and similar in appearance in size.

This will be my next "smartphone" for sure!!!!

wow, now this does look like a decent s60 phone, much better than SX1 and 6600

"The Sendo X will be available first in southern Europe -- Spain and Italy," Marijke van Hooren, Sendo's communications director, told ZDNet UK. "It will be available in the UK either towards the end of the year or at the beginning of 2004, depending on approvals...
Also the price will be about 500 Euros or about 438.154 dollars..

OMG!!! this is exactly what I've been waiting for, It's a dream come true, 32MB, MMC AND SD, camera with flash, stereo output, and maybe their SoniX and GraphiX engines do improve things even more, but that isn't needed anyways

This will definately drop both 6600 and SX1 sales to the groud.

btw...THANKS SENDO!!!!

Posted by: PhoneManiac

The way I see it Sendo X's will soon rule the world!!!!!!!!!!!

:evileye:

Posted by: shaolinmonk

the price seems pretty good might have to grab one myself.

Posted by: PhoneManiac

My mistake!!
I looked it up in a website and they did the convertion wrong. It is actually 500 Euros which is about : 589.867 USD. http://www.translatum.gr/converter/currency.htm

Posted by: f_Enzo

I love competition! now the prices of the three phone will drop faster

I think so, because if you look at the picture you can see in its screen it has an [options] and [about] red boxes,
so I'm guessing you need 2 selection buttons to activate them!

If you still can't see them look closer, also to drool over: (if this pic is a tad big I can change it to a link)

Posted by: nemik

only thing i don't like about it is that the design reminds me too much of the moto c350..bleh!

I sent this on Monday this week.

Please read the link to the register. Bluetooth

Dear Marijke van Hooren
I have been closely monitoring the evolution of both the smart phone and the Symbian OS.

I am very in pressed with the Sendo X, what delights me even more is the phone was developed in the UK and is based on Symbian OS.
I have two questions: 1 when is the phone available in the UK? 2 can it be purchased sim free.

One small problem has come to light, I came a cross this, Bluetooth is attack vector for mobile phones

As the Sendo X has blue tooth, Is this problem going to effect the phone? If so, can a patch be put in place to block the issue?

Kind regards

Posted by: huiben

the more I read about sendo X, I more being impressed by its hardware. It just has every possible hardware that can fit into this phone. Just hope it live up to its promise. (and don't delay 20th times, ok)

oh man oh man....this is the phone that has pretty much everything a modern smartphone should have!!! only thing that would really put it over the top would be a 1MP camera..but i guess thats asking for too much :-) but i saw a mini-review of gsmarena.com....they didnt say too many good things about it..i mean they were just prototypes and hopefully they get the bugs out when the phone comes out...now if RF is as good as the 3650's (to me the 3650 is the freaking benchmark as far as RF) this phone will be soooo in demand that i wouldnt be surprised if it sells for $1000+ time to sell one of my kidneys!!!

Posted by: Jax826

hmm..i dont like the design...but other than that...it's awesome^^

Posted by: john74

sound great and all but i read this and it kind off turned me off..especially the screen brightness comment......However, the size of keypads is too small, making them not comfortable to press. The five ways controlling trackball is not easy to press too. The phone is shorter, but have similar width with Nokia 3650. We cannot describe it as small, while we still accept it as a smartphone. We tried a short time, finding that the first prototype not as strong as its described. The Sendo X 65K TFT screen is not brighter than only 4096 STN screen of Nokia 3650. The processor is not pretty fast (taken from http://www.threegmobile.net/main/in..._detail&nid=223 ) I HOPE ITS JUST A PROTOTYPE THING THAT WILL BE IMPROVRED,IT SAYS IT BUT THE SCREEN RESOLUTION ON A PROTOTYPE PHONE HAS GOT NOTHING TO DO WITH IMPROVING SOFTWARE RIGHT??

the latest information i've read on this phone is amazing!!

complete voice dial and recognitition software - u dont need to add a voice dial to use voice dial against someones name -

i think the information was at www.mobileburn.com

check it out

Posted by: nemik

"And one last thing of note, it appears that the Sendo X will support user installable firmware upgrades. That's always good news."

that's it! now i can be one of the first to get it! i usually always wait because i'm afraid of bugs and don't want to have to ship out the phone to the company. oh this phone will be the best ever!!!!!

Posted by: tiger33

is the sx1 not already out in germany

if you check www.sl45.com and the forums there it seems that alot of people have them?

Posted by: nemik

no, noone there has it yet. but its said to come dec 2 or 12 to portugal and austria and maybe france, not sure.

but if you go to the siemens mobile site, you can sign up to be a beta tester for the sx1. I think they pick 5 people. they send you the phone, you play with it for 2 weeks, submit a report to them, and then you get to keep it! oh man i hope i win!! although i still think sendo x will be better.

Posted by: Rome425

any news?

Posted by: huiben

one of the pic in the review seem to show that Sendo screen is much darker than 3650... i hope that can be corrected with software

it should work without problems, specially on tmobile since they don't even use 850. as for unlocking it, I'm sure there will be methods available as soon as the phone is released, that is if it's locked.
