Hi All.
I've been entering some info on other threads in this forum, but as they are now getting off topic, I felt it might be better to open a new thread, with a bit more info about the Sendo X.
So, firstly some info, which might be new for some of you, detailing items which are "extra" to the Sendo X, in addition to the usual Series60 operating system features:
- 32MB of BUILT IN storage space (in addition to whever size memory card you insert)
- Hot-swap memory card slot that takes MMC and SD cards - 1GB SD card tested OK (rs-mmc and mini-sd will also work, with their respective adaptors)
- PC connectivity via BlueTooth, USB and InfraRed
- iSync support for the Mac OS (even does the caller ID images)
- LED flash for the still camera
- Mini mirror next to the camera for doing self portraits
- 2x and 4x zoom on the still camera AND the camcorder
- Unlimited recording on the camcorder (well, limited to the storage memory you have 😊
- MMS Image Editor (add clip-art, etc to an MMS image prior to sending)
- MP3 player with playlist support - handy for albums, artists, moods, etc
- Stereo headset support
- Document Viewer, supporting many file types
- Web browser
- Voice control (for opening applications, and, more importantly, voice dialling)
- Laptop sized expandable keyboard accessory
- Now! screen, providing a simple, yet very customisable "home" screen, with History and Favorites tabs
Also some seemingly minor changes, which actually really enhance the useability of the handset:
- Top status line, visible anywhere in the handset
- Screen wrapping available, which makes navigation around the phone system really fast (easy to go off the top or bottom in menus and lists)
- Increased backlight timeout settings (up to 5 minutes), so no screen going dim halfway through reading an SMS !
- Backlight brightness setting, allowing better adjustment of the actual backlight, rather than just the colour brightness.
And finally, a couple of images:
The keyboard accessory:
A menu screenshot (and no, these are NOT built into the handset!):
What about T9 dictionary? I've looked trough the pdf on Sendos website and theres no mention of any dictionary..
I got the impression that the X couldn't play MP3's???
CeIT - T9 Dictionary - It is certainly is in there. On the general subject on languages, I think the Sendo X has the most built-in language options of any Series60 handset.
IRONLUNG - MP3's - Not sure where you heard that. RealOne player is built in, like all S60 units, which does not play them, but there is a separate MP3 player, and it's got some nice options. The headset unit for calls is actually a stereo unit, with a volume control dial, and so makes the Sendo X into a nice MP3 player. There is also the hands-free option, using the built in speaker, which is good too.
At the moment I am waiting for an email from sendo regarding the release date of the sendo x. I hope it's soon!

Thank you for your quick answer, can you possibly list the available languages? I'd like norwegian to be available on the phone, the menus are not really important but i'm used to a norwegian T9. In the pdf i downloaded norwegian is listed as a possible future language if the phone is to be released in Norway, but i don't really expect that to happen this year so if i really would like this phone then i would probably have to order it from England or something 😎
what about sendo and consumer IrDa?
The sendo x has an IR port if that's what you mean...

I asked them the same question at the beginning of the week. The response was that it was to be shipped within the month to numerous European countries...Let's see what your response consists of, hey flipitw.
i was woundering if the handsfree speaker is stereo or mono!
it does mention a dual channel but doesnt confirm the stereo thing!
the real one player of the sendox accept fullscreen to view videos?
onther question:
the sendox is the only smarphone wit h modem 14 kbps.
this means that i can conect the phone to intrnet with my dial-up conextion?.
or it's only a vulgar modem to GPRS conection?

no, consumer IrDa port is IrDa like on nokia's, you can use it like normal remote control for tv, hi-fi (not only 1 meter like on sx1)

Nokias are not any better.They go up to 2 meters,TOPS,so i guess its a similar if not the same IR ports.
A nice little review (well, impresions actually)

I was going to post a link to that 😊
Its good that they recommend it and seem to feel it's a bit faster than other series 60 phones!
