well folks emailed sendo with a few questions and this was the response (u my not find it very useful!!)
"Thanks for your email. We expect to ship in the UK next month. I am not yet in a position to announce with whom. Since the operator is our customer, it is upto them to decide when they want to announce a new product.
To give you some idea about prices. In Italy TIM will be offering the Sendo X without subsidy and SIM free for approx. 500 Euros.
Best regards,
