How long you willing to wait?

125 replies · 29,581 views · Started 24 January 2004

Just wondering how long ppl are prepared to hang around for this phone before starting to look at other options? could well be the same delay as for the sx1. also, im sure the 6230 will scoop up some of sendo's potential customers if released prior to sendo x.

Forever practicaly!
I have bought the n-gage as a temp adn it suits me fine. I do most of my program testing on the n-gage so when i get sendo-x i have some ready made programs for it.

Like all fickle customers, I'll wait until something better beats it to the market. Getting a bit fed up of all the non commital "we expect to ship sometime next month" statements tho 😡

If the Sendo X is a reliable, quality product, it will instantly become the premier Series 60 mobile. I'll give Sendo until the end of the year to sell it through T-Mobile USA.

Arhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

I can not wait much longer.
Expansys has the SX1 and it's looking very attractive now..
A friend at T-Mobile say it has not even been given a date for release by T-Mobile and their current release schedule goes up to April....

Pleeeeeese some one tell me the wait is nearly over..

I'm getting itchy feet at the moment, my 7650 is dying a slow death, the 4 key is tempermental, the power button has a life of it's own and lack of memory is getting me down

At least it still runs Bemused

Nearly bought a 6600 the other day, but there is lack of Orange stock at the moment

Will probably give them until the end of Feb for something firm otherwise I'm outta the Sendo X race

i think ill be steering away from sendo pretty soon myself, i love the phone but getting sick of waiting. in the meantime another phone has just got my attention, the sharp gx 30. its got all the main features along with a 1megapixel camera!! check it out.

is this missing anything that the sendo has got?

My 7650 is dying slowly too - tempramental keys, occasionally puts itself into headset mode (with no headset plugged in), memory nearly gone...

It's really no wonder Nokia are the market leaders, they've released a 3 or 4 gen 1 s60 phones and a gen 2 s60 phone, when the other manufacturers have yet to release their first s60 to the world at large.

I'm really losing faith in the sx1 - siemens went on and on about making it 'bug free' before release, and as soon as it's released it has some quite major bugs. bah.
Sendo X - will it ever arrive? If it does will it ever get to my corner of the world?

I think the 7700 will be here by then, probably the new communicator too!

A friend has the new motorolla flip phone, screens is very similar to the sharp gx20/30 (i haven't seen a real 6600 yet so can't compare) - it has a vga camera and bluetooth and java games... soooo tempting...

OK I can cope a bit longer now, just ordered a N-Gage from CPW for �99.99 inc shipping, then another �20 off when I send them an old phone back!

and just to avoid taco syndrome, I'm off to order a Jabra BT250

This is crap. Does nobody at Sendo read this board? Do they not realise that by giving high hopes then not backing it up that potential customers (that could 'spread the word'😉 are getting pissed off. Surely someone knows when or if the bloody phone will be released??? I know they are having production problems, I work in electronics and know all too well how difficult it is to introduce a new product, but why give a high profile release then go silent? There must be some clever people employed by Sendo, how come all their muppets seem to work in the marketing and NPI departments???

I don't think we're a stupid bunch (lol) 😉 so why can't someone from Sendo give us something other than a bullshit answer? 😕

What is up with the power button on the 7650 ... mine doesn't work for poo ... I have to take th battery out to turn it off, and if I do that, I takes me 30 mins to turn it back on ... pushing the button 100 different ways (and let me tell you, pushing a button 100 different ways isn't easy) ... hands free has NEVER worked well on it ... but, other than that...

The 7650 rocks! 😉 But, getting memory blues, too (well, I have a PDA for more power, but still....) ... The 7700 looks cool, but it's a stylus phone, so it won't be SMS/MMS friendly (typing on a virtual keyboard isn't easy, I know, as I owned a Motorola Accompli 008) ... the new Communitor looks to rock the house ... my friend works for Nokia and has seen it and said it looks cool, but he is forbidden to talk too much about it (or show me pics, etc...) ... but, it should be cool. 6600 is a good phone, but buggy as hell.

I�m really getting fed up of waiting... i've read some mails (from sendo) in other forums regarding the sendo x...

It all comes down to the same shite ... they are don't know exactly and it all depends on the providers...

I�m seriously thinking of getting an SX1, because:

- stereo playback
- usb connectivity
- 512 mb MMC support
- MMC not located beneath battery but on the side

i really wanted the sendo X
- special graphics acceleration (makes the phone faster?)
- flash
- better camera (?)
- 1 GB MMC / SD support

this is really shite ...

excuse me for my language ... I�ve been watching to much jamie oliver on tv here in Holland...

I think they've blown it, the vga camera in the X is starting to look old, lots of lovely phones on the horizon.

yeah.. i would much rather have had them introduce it at a date not far off its release date

Regarding the power button - it's a known casualty of dust bunnies getting inbetween the contatcts. Try taking the sim cover off and giving the power button area a blast with compressed air..

Nice to hear news of the communicator. Hope it's released real soon, should be a killer phone 😊

It appears they've taken the sendo x OFF the coming soon list at phones4u!!! im getting the feeling none of the shops are expecting it any time soon!?!
this phone definately does not appeal to me as much now as it did before!
does anyone know of any decent phones out on the horizon that could compete with the sendo?

i too want to know about these other phones =]
something equal to or better then the sendo
sendo looks to be a good phone and all.. but this waiting is just too much.. or im impatient

A mobile software company I deal with say me the official release in Europe is now planed for the 3GSM show on 23rd Fed.
Which by coincidence is when a few of the webstore have it list as being released..

Lets hope so 😉

Fingers crossed...

Will

I am starting to look at another cool phones too. Sendo really disappoints me as they postpone the release date without any official update news. The phones I have looked into are Sanyo V801sa, a 3G + Tri-Band GSM phone in Japan, and Mitac 8360, a flipped smartphone in Taiwan. Anyway, I will wait till the end of Feb and make my final decision.

(^_^) I have one expectation Sendo will do: In that two month waiting period, Sendo will upgrade the display and camera to 260K TFT and 1.3MP in order to complete with the others.

The thing that concerns me is the reliability of the X once it reaches the market. There have to be reasons why it has been delayed this long and with no 'official' announcement as to why or when it will make it into the public domain it gets you thinking. I know of production start up problems and also problems with getting the necessary approvals but how do you think these will affect the consumer? Not sure I trust it or them enough anymore, after all they built themselves up with lo end, high volume PAYG phones. Maybe they've bitten off more than they can chew, maybe Microsoft weren't the villains they've been painted to be in the Sendo/Microsoft partnership ???

I really like the look of the Sendo X and would get one if it came out today.

But as each day passes, I will be less likely to buy one since the launch of the new Nokia Communicator gets closer.

They had better get their finger out, or they will loose out as better spec devices are just around the corner.

I just found out these three Moto phones on the web

Moto E1000

http://img.eprice.com.tw/img/prod/phone/1210.jpg

Moto V1000

http://img.eprice.com.tw/img/prod/phone/1211.jpg

Moto A1000

http://img.eprice.com.tw/img/prod/phone/1209.jpg

All of them are WCDMA + Tri-band GSM. Moto A1000 is using Symbian OS 7 as well. They all have 260K QVGA display, 1.2MP Camera, Bluetooth, Built-in Speaker,........... . I really don't know whether I should get a Sendo or wait a bit longer to get one of these Moto. If Sendo is out for sale in Feb, it becomes less attractive and a bit old.

me thinks exactly
old news before it ever came out

My interest in SendoX is fast wearing out since it's not available here. Looking at the Moto pics revives my interest in new range of Symbian phones. In fact SendoX is beginning to look outdated.

Having owned a Nokia 3650, I would appreciate a smaller Symbian phone.

Any chance of getting one of those in Europe?
