Thank You!

Is it a joke ?

Why do you think that? This is not the first time developpers ask such things here!

The guy is asking for people to test a game on the sendo x, not test the actual device itself. But seeing as the x is not yet available I doubt he will get many emails 😊

Hi,

Well, i've just e-mailed the guy to help out with the testing.
And, as I work for Sendo, I have the devices to hand 😊

Seriously, it will be out VERY soon now. Hang in there guys+gals...

32MB of on-board storage, proper sized keyboard accessory, excellent built in MP3 player (playlists), hot-swap support for SD cards as well as older MMC cards (1GB SD tested OK!), etc, etc...

X-man...

How "soon?"

Well, sorry, this is my 2nd fault on this site 😊 I have asked the same on the D700 forum 😊

As soon as you get it, please contact me, it's not a joke!

How soon is soon? By the end of this week? This month? By the end of this decade?

You work for sendo?

Yes, I do work for Sendo. The handset is being released in various countries, and this is all due to happen ASAP. I am not privvy to the exact dates (not in sales), but it is all getting exciting in the office!

I can confirm this. Via forums and website logs.

Actually you might be suprised by the number of people visiting this site from Nokia, Sendo, Sony Ericsson etc.

nokia 6630 is comming up shortly

more than 300� for a sendox it's a crazy price.

8 month of delay,
4 mb of ram.

ngage games don't work

smart movie don't work.

I'm going to hold you to that (j/k)... Really though I hope so. I just got a response from van Hooren saying that they'll be shipping w/in the next few weeks...

The 4MB of RAM is what is free from the 16MB on-board. Sonic-N and Puyo-Puyo work fine, but some larger ones do not, which is a pain. We are working on it though... Lots of JAVA games and SIS programs work fine though, so not too bad. 12-bit colour JAVA games work nicely too (try some on an SX1 - get greens and blues).

Does that mean that it still is not ready for release?

what about smart movie?

NO, it is "ready" for release, but the are constantly improving the firmware, BUT i doubt that they improve the N-GAGE compatibility, which is in fact an illegal operation!!! But it is NOT released yet as Sendo promised before!

You'll need more than 6 MB to run games properly. Most of the games run fine on the Nokia 7610, but newer games do not run on any other than N-GAGE devices!

The 65k screen is always a problem (ashen does not run properly, Desialles Soccer does not run properly, Tiger Woods PGA Gold is not running, The Sims is not running (main app close error) ...

So the X won't be better, even worse since there is nopt enough RAM to proceed!

But who cares, just buy yourself a cheap n-gage (99 � here) and you can play these games 😊

No, it IS ready for release. Some of us in Sendo are keen gamers too, and obviously we want N-Gage games to work also, especially as the X has a hot-swap MMC slot (only just available on the QD model).

Apologies, missed that bit of the original post. I hadn't tried that software, but just downloaded the trial version, and it works fine with the two demo videos supplied. I've tagged in some images of SmartMovie running on the X below.
That should help prove two things, (a) it works OK, (b) I work for Sendo.
And yes, the handset is sat in our keyboard keyboard accessory, as identified by the icon in the top status bar, just to the left of the BlueTooth circle.
Sorry about the quality, was in a rush to get them done.

And a screen capture of some games I have installed (including Sonic) 😊 ...

I appreciate all the replies. Thanks a million!

plinkykev,great news but please don't post anything in refference to N-Gage games on other devices but the N-Gage series.

I saw the huge attachment keyboard you can purchase for
the Sendo X. Is there anything else available on it?
I can't see doing email w/ something that size or holding the phone keys down.
I'm very interested in this phone. I jusy haven't seen adequate info on typing.

I've been vascillating between the SonyP900, Sendo X &
Nokia 6620. Any opinions on which is the best?
Also, do the features that the P900 has but
Sendo X doesn't make a major difference?

THANKS SO MUCH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Agreed GhostDog, and sorry. Was just upset that quite a few people are saying the games won't play at all.

On the subject of gameplay, the external keyboard does make intricate moves really easy and accurate (eg: in Bounce for example - did all 11 levels). The keyboard is an expandable version, and is similar to that produced for the Compaq/HP iPAQ, so folds down nicely, and is very handy for SMS's too.
You can even charge the handset while it's in it, so no loss of power when bashing the keys in Darxide 😊

Karyn - other accessories include the usual stuff: spare battery, cradle (quite stylish), bt headset, bt car kit (both very nice with the voice dialling facility built into the X). A USB cable and stereo headset are in the box.

Thanks for the info. DO they come with the Sendo X package?
The P900 has a virtual keyboard built into the software.
Any chance of that happening with the Sendo X?
Or anything remotely close?

I really love this phone but the lack of an intergrate keyboard
is killing me...

I have to make up my mind on which is the best smartphone out there!
THANKS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hi Karyn. The actual standard in-box accessories are charger, stereo handsfree headset, battery, PC software CD, manuals. The rest are extra's, to be purchased seperately. However, I have heard that certain operators may be including some items as standard, such as the cradle or a memory card. This is up to them though, and so depends what the networks are offering in your country. Many people don't buy any extra's, so including them would be a waste, and the thought is to keep costs down, and let those who need them buy them, or maybe choose a slightly more expensive pack, that includes it.

As for a "virtual keyboard", that needs a touch sensitive screen, which the X does not have, as well as the Symbian UIQ operating system to handle it.

I've used the P800 and P900 and they are good - large display and touch screen. I just found them too big as a phone, and too small as a PDA, but that's just me, others love them. Suggest you try each one in a shop, and see what is best for you. Price / size / weight / features / battery life / etc are all factors to consider.

Thank you. If I can find them in a
non-virtual store, I will indeed try
them out! 😃

thank's for all plinkykev.
but I think

thath 8 month of delay is unforgivable.

i think that i will wait the 6630.

For me the sendox is the most dissapointed think i have ever seen.

thank's for all plinkykev.

plinkykev can you upload a video taked by the sendox?

the viedeos taked by the sendo xi have seen are at 4 FPS and in the features it puts 15 FPS,

can you upload one video? i want examamine one,

(sorry abou my bad inglish lexic, i'm of spain, thanks
