But I need it for testing 😊

Oh well, off to

😊 tut tut tut! Thanks for alll the information plinkykev, its great to be able to talk to an insider about the Sendo X!

can you upload a video taken by the sendox? i want examine it. thank's.

if it's posible, at the best posible quality

Hi plinkykev,
MANY THANKS for all info e news about X...

PLEASE, I have some questions for you:
1. You says "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", well...

IMPORTANT: then, it will be possible in future, through firmware updates, have more of actual 4MB of RAM or more of free 6MB (free max RAM available reading from manual) of RAM for other applications? For example, better consuming RAM memory from actual programs or killing manually some process...

2. IMPORTANT: Always through future firmware updates, it will be possible upgrade JAVA MIDP v1.0 to 2.0? Or, for example, using MP3 for ringtones (I don't know if this is technically possible, though...)?

3. IMPORTANT: Do Bluetooth have some blocks type? Now is it possible using via bluetooth, for example, ADSL connection of our PC home for navigate *free* on Sendo X? For example, Nokia 6600 got some gateway block for this, though now some people have solved programmatically this problem...

4. Will it be possible enable and disable Now! with speed without lost information of info recorded on Now! (panels, customized shortcuts, etc...)? This it'll be great for theme look on our X, then it would be only wallpaper in show... 😊

Excuse me for long questions (and my bad english ^_^;; ) but I think that they are IMPORTANT for Sendo X community

Hi Matthia,

Taking each point in turn:

1. We are always looking at ways of getting more out of the handset (speed, free disk space, free RAM), so if a new idea is found, we will make it available of course.

(on the subject of upgrades, the Sendo X will be user-upgradable over a web link and USB cable. I think the Siemens SX1 does this too, but have not tried it)

2. (a) I am not sure about MIDP 2.0 coming onto the Sendo X. It may also depend on our Series 60 licence agreement.
(b) MP3 ringtones are not currently supported on the handset. This may be something we add later, as demand grows.

3. I have seen this BlueTooth / ADSL link mentioned on some forums, but have not tried it myself. I will do some investigating. (someone may want to PM me with setup info to speed this investigation up 😊

4. The Now! screen is integrated into the system, and is a nice feature, so I do not think this will be something we will remove, or disable.

No problems on the questions or the English. I just hope I am answering things OK for everyone here.

Also, has anyone seen this : http://www.infosyncworld.com/news/n/5055.html

I told you it would be out soon... 😊

First of all, MANY THANKS plinkykev! It's VERY important to know news about future firmware developing.

Ok, perhaps now isn't very important large free RAM available, but we hope that Sendo then will release better optimizations. For, ehm... better nG@g3 compatibility too 😛

Ok, can you ask for it, please?

Yeah, is it possible??? However, I think that there are MANY MANY persons like MP3 ringtones. In mobiles forums, newsgroups it's among first questions about a mobile 😊 but no one mobile got it, Sendo X could be the first! 😊

No plinkykev, I think that Now! features is great!
I told if is possible actually (or in future) disable (no remove) temporarily, pressing a key, Now! feature just for a better looking on whole wallpaper during stand by (no screensaver time) of mobile and enable again re-pressed same key, then without lost info and records (shortcuts, calls, etc...) on Now!

Yeeeeeeeeeeeah, in Italy it would be distribuited this wednesday, I have already reserve it 😊

i think mp3 ringtons its a stupid idea.

the poliohnic tones too.

i only want the phone rings with a simple midi when anywone callsme.

anyway i don't like nokia,and again to wait for this phone nother 5 months to come out with out somethin like 7610 did(no stereo sound)

6630 is stereo, and have control time exposur for moved images.

I don't like nokia too because he always forget to put an important thing to the phone.

the 6630 is the only phone of nokia I like.

the phone will me avaiable in 4 month or before,

al least nokia is a serious company that make "quality" phones and don't dely 8 month for a damn smarphone like sendo.

as I am going away to spend 500� in a smartphone of a little serious company that does not inform during 8 months of the state of the phone and that has only 4 models in his catalogue.

i thik this one doesn't have the front camera(so if is 3G where is the front camera??)so another bad mistake for nokia

Give Sendo a chance. They delay with the Sendo X was to make it a great phone. They could have released it months ago but it would have been buggy and not a great product. I would rather wait for the Sendo X than buy a substandard phone that's already out in the UK.

they forget FM radio on all phones, ngage QD, 6600...6630... all have somthing bad,

but al least this problem have solution because nokia hace a hearphones with radio implemented,

have sendo earphones with radio to the sendox ?

NO.

Hi, sorry, I forgot to reply to this one !

Right, here are two videos, one SMALL format (128x96) and one LARGE (176x144)
Other than that, they have the same camcorder settings:

Audio: On
Quality: High
Frame Rate: High
File Size: MMS (just to keep the size down - there are many size options available)

The small one is running at 14.84 fps, the large at 9.55 fps
Also, I used the x2 and x4 zoom modes while recording, so they show that feature too. Hope this helps !

Right click them, and "Save Target As", then play in Nokia MultiMedia Player or RealOne Player.

Hi again plinkykev,
seem good Sendo X movies and 2x-4x zoom.
To the point, 2x and 4x zoom on photos are very pixelled seen on Sendo X screen and on Pc monitor?

Please plinkykev, can you reply to me previous questions (it was on your previous reply about MP3 ringtones in future firmware, ADSL via bluetooth, enable and disable Now! feature on-fly, etc...)?

No, the x2 and x4 zoom modes are generally OK on the handset and monitor, as hopefully seen on the videos.

As I said, these things may come along, depending on operator and user requirements, but not immediately. I've not had a chance to test the BlueTooth link yet.

Hi plinkykev,
thanks for all, please always info us about future firmware upgrades... Sendo could keep a 'Request Area' on their web for this...

Ad other question (if it's possible answer for Sendo): "Philips Camcoder Pro" work on Sendo X?

lot of thnks for the videos.

--------------------------
it seems that to obtain the 15 fps that promises tendo we will have to record the video to a miserable resolution.

I thinked that with 120 mhz and a graphical coprocessor could record to 15 miserable FPS to 144x176 pxls
