Sendo M550 - Blue Silver (Tesco) Mobile phone

Product Information

Brogan believes the company is ideally placed to meet this need by offering unique physical designs and customised software.Its manu- facturing technique also means it can ship products within 48 to 72 hours. A basic electronics module is manufactured in China and shipped to the Netherlands. While Sendo's Software Store will be able to re-issue codes, a lot of items are going to need some negotiation with the original author. And while this is the way forward, and I know that it's going to happen, it's one of the few truly negative points about the handset. Summary – Why Choose the Sendo X? Apart from the issues mentioned above, I've no hesitation in recommending the Sendo X to people looking for a good all around smartphone. When it was proposed it was up against the Nokia 3650 and the Siemens SX-1. It's beaten them hands down. Now, even though there will be a few people who won't touch it with a barge pole just because it's not at the bleeding edge with the latest Series 60 build, the feature list on the Sendo X rivals (and just about out-guns) the Nokia 7610, which is it's current competitor. That says a lot for the forward planning of the designers. Ringtones are pretty impressive. While we've no support for the Nokia standard monophonic ringtones (are there still people out there using these on Symbian phones?) we've got support for 64 voice polyphonic ringtones, along with the ability to use AMR, WAV, MIDI, SP-MIDI, XMF, Real and SMF – which should just about cover any format on the planet. The only format it doesn't cover for ringtones is MP3 – because it's 'difficult' to tie in the phone side to the MP3 side of things. So while we can convert these on our computers to wave files, it's hard to explain to regular users why this should be the case. Connect More Desktop Connectivity The uncomplicated Mr Brogan is highly motivated, but not so driven that he can't guide his team. For example, he coached a very nervous Mr Leliveld before his first sales pitch over a couple of beers. "Hugh is very good at motivating you even if you don't know how to do something. He will always take a few minutes, and help you see how to do it," says Mr Leliveld.

sendo", which in Japanese means "what the future holds". Sendo seemed to have the right ring, so to speak. For Mobile: lets you select a monthly Device Plan Credit Agreement (3-36 months) with a monthly Airtime Plan. Phone Plans over 12 months require a 24-month Monthly Airtime Plan. You can pay off your Device Plan early, and if you do, you can then keep your Airtime Plan on a 30-day contract or leave. If your Airtime Plan ends for any reason, you will need to keep on paying your monthly Device Plan (either in full or monthly) In March 2005, Sendo made an objection to the European Commission regarding Ericsson and their patent and licence management after being sued. [15] So, being one of the first journalists in Britain to get a hold of some production versions of the Sendo X (not that we haven't been playing with the beta models since Christmas last year) I thought I'd get some quality time in with the Smartphone from Birmingham. Alas, I've had to write this interview in the wee hours of the morning, because once Vikki got a hold of the Sendo X and the bundled game Funny Farmer, she wasn't going to give it up unless I could prise it out of her cold dead hand. Where's The Phone Been Then

But it was never a partnership of equals, alleges Sendo, and after promising that StinkerOS was ready in the middle of last year, Microsoft used the delays to uncover Sendo's integration secrets and carrier relationships, and then cut off their air supply, using this knowledge to promote its new sweetheart, the Orange SPV instead. Sendo's tale Games programmers are going to be interested in two things. The Java programemrs will want to know that the Sendo X is using MIDP1.0 (not 2.0) which keeps it on a par with the N-Gage. There are a few new API's that Sendo have included for the programmers. And as previously mentioned, the C++ programmers can take advantage of the two co-processors, without having to alter their code. A Whole Bundle of Accessories Sendo is about cosmetics but the company has also designed and manufactured a phone that is small and light but efficient enough to stand up against the Big Boys of Nokia, Motorola and Philips. The chips that run the phones have been co-designed with manufacturers including Texas Instruments, and the number of parts in the Sendo phone has been cut from an industry average of 550 to 400 parts. All this helps cut the cost of making each Sendo phone by – for some models – nearly half the industry average. Mr Brogan says Sendo should break even when it sells its 500,000th phone. Sendo are pushing the X in four areas... See more, hear more, do more and play more. Let's use them to look in more detail at what's still at the top of my list as the most desirable Series 60 handset in the world. But first... The Phone Itself When we're running a Trade-in Bonus promotion, you may be able to get an additional bonus on top of the trade-in value for the phone you're trading in, when you buy a new phone.

We're talking lots of memory here. Lots and lots. There's a total of 64mb Flash memory, some of which is used for the Operating System. All told as a user you've got around 32mb left over to store your files, applications, programs and documents. Given that the Nokia 6600 has a massive 6mb for storage, you can see how flexible this extra memory makes the Sendo X. At this point Brown suggests that Microsoft convert the share deal into a loan, repayable in three stages, and in February (last year), Sendo agrees. Stinker still hasn't shipped, so Sendo can't sell a phone. Microsoft refuses to pay Sendo some capital that was scheduled under the earlier agreement, Sendo alleges, and by spring the relationship has deteriorated to the level of legal threats.The big mobile-phone manufacturers are continuing to innovate, making smaller, lighter phones with more capabilities for delivering WAP services and media-rich content from music clips to directions to restaurants. Sendo has several models of its own in development, including its first WAP phone, which will be ready in the second quarter. Now, remember that Microsoft had no business relationships with carriers as a handset provider, while Sendo staff were pretty well versed in what to do. This, Sendo alleges, is what Microsoft's "Master Plan" was all about. As it claims: Sendo's description of a "master plan" to rob it of its secrets might look like paranoid nonsense, were it not for the fact that in that SDMA, Sendo's demise was in foretold. Microsoft had far more to gain than it had to lose by seeing its partner fall.

The world of mobile phones has just uncovered a new and compelling industrial riddle: what have you been able to do with cars, kitchens and golf clubs for years that you should be able to do with a mobile phone? A new Birmingham-based company called Sendo thinks it has the answer: customisation. In short, you could put this next to a Sony Ericsson T610 and it would look like a regular phone. Which is important if any smartphone is to break out of the geek market. Could the Nokias do what we are doing? Sure, they could, but they don't," says Mr Brogan. "A 100,000-unit deal for a Motorola is not significant. When the market is 420 million mobiles and these guys have 20% of it – so they are making 80 million phones – when someone says, 'Can you divert 10 software engineers on this (customisation) project?' it just doesn't represent a significant enough opportunity. But for a company like Sendo, 100,000 phones is, well, we get four of those and that's great." Donath, Andreas (26 February 2001).

Sendo's solution is to offer operators customised phones that can be ready for retail shelves months ahead of their bigger rivals. Because of a unique manufacturing process that starts in China and is completed in Holland, Sendo phones can be made in different colours and in different shapes, with the operator's brand and special buttons, as well as embedded software for graphics, games and ringing tones, all bespoke for each operator. Sendo freely admit that the Sendo X is later than announced, but to be fair to them, 15 months before the launch they were still working with Microsoft on the Z-1000, and hadn't even seen one line of Symbian code. You want to know how long a smartphone takes to make? Ask the boys from Birmingham.First things first, this replaces the static wallpaper screen that most Series 60 phone have. While you can put a fixed picture as one of your Now! screens, that's not taking advantage of the flexibility it has. It's made up of various 'panes', where each pane is a function. One of them is the 'Today' screen equivalent. Another lists your favourite applications. And so on. You can add panes yourself, move them around, change the colours, in fact you can do pretty much anything with them.
