Anybody who can think of anything to make the phone more user friendly, or additions or changes you would like to see on the X please add in this thread,

this is not a thread for bugs

Ok I will start off,

1, I would like some sort of visual indication that there is a text or voicemail message left for me when the screensaver is on, maybe the keypad could flash every 3 or 5 seconds or something like that untill I have read the message, something to catch my eye.

2, I would like to see the 2 little silver buttons on the side of the phone to be user programmable, the one on the left of mine never gets used and is wasted.

3, Would it be possible to use the camera flash as a little torch, for me it would come in handy.

4, The PTT button on the stereo headset doesn�t do anything while the MP3 player is active. My SL45i used to pause/play on a push, and if you held it down it would skip to the next song. That would be very useful if that could be added.

5, No Airplane mode; so you can use it to either free up memory or for hospitals/planes.

6, Ability to turn off the tones when the phone is switched on or off

7, To be able to use the flash led for night time camcorder use

8, Stereo bluetooth headset option.

9, Ability to choose not to have the fully implemented NOW! screen - or at least to be able to give it a background image that takes up the entire screen

10, to be able to change the size/font of the clock

11, To be able to turn off the red end-call button for when you are taking notes

12, To be able to edit you mp3s when an mp3 is playing

13, To be able to get it to play through all of the mp3's on your phone without having to add them each individually to a playlist.

14, The ability to turn on the light a bit longer. Especially since the camera needs a few seconds to adjust it's lightning. Photo's taken with the light always are too bright or too red. Either way colours are completely wrong.

15, Why is there no headset profile in its bluetooth stack? This is a sure problem since my PC bluetooth adapter only uses the Headset profile in its "audio gateway service". As does older headsets and/or carkits. 😞 So please if possible add a headset profile too.

16, The ability to select what items of the plugins you want to see at the Now!screen. Eg. I don't like to have the birthday's visible at the today/calender view, only my appointements. So I'd like to further select which detail of the wanted plugin gets displayed.

17, Also you cannot choose which plugin should be seen on the first "MyPlane" screen, you can only adjust their position. Is it possible to disable the view of certain plugins on that screen as well? Orshould we continue making another plane with just the items we want to see and choose that plane as default plane? ....hmmm... okay that solution works as well so perhaps this is rather stupid indeed...

18,At the fun side. The ability to have animated screen savers (like SE phones do). We definitly need a theme editor so that we can show off our design talents 😊

19, At the Now! screen we can show a picture as background. Unfortunatly it is shown fully opaque. It should be possible to adjust it's transparancy (brightness) in accordance with either the (main) text above or at user preference. Or at least make it possible to utilise the inbuildimage editor to adjust colour/brightness/contrast toour taste.

20, Oh... is it possible to remove (some of) the inbuild sounds? Some are really lame.

21, a sound processor on the mp3 player, or atleast be able to set the bass and treble manually

22, a slideshow for the photoablum

I haven't seen this mentioned recently, so sorry if it has been fixed (I'm waiting for the official UK release before putting my money down), but a phone that makes a loud noise whenever you turn it on would seriously annoy me, so it should be optional - or even customisable.

For a next device it would be incredible to have acces to wireless LAN 802.b or g or h or whatever protocol is good!!!

Just imagine how AWESOME this could be!!!

we have the sms counter on the buglist, it is actually there as you can see it when you send the text, but it doesn't show up when you are typing.

Haha, I think that is for the next gen of phones, maybe the sendo X2, and yes that would be awsome

to be able to leave the flash lite on as long as u like even if ur not takin pics or usin the cam! ALSO a sound processor on the mp3 player, or atleast be able to set the bass and treble manually(my sl45i could do that 4 yrs ago)
ALSO a slideshow for the photoablum, i know the siemens s65 can do that in landscape mode(it automatically zooms in on the pic so the pic fits the screen exactly!!)
i think most of these could and SHOULD be done in an upcomin FW, would make me even more happy with my new baby😃

Features which I'd reallywould have seen in this phone.

There are probably some other things too but these I could remmeber from the top of my head.

Hi there, I have some more items I thinks aren't listed here yet:

- Assign a shortcut button to voice record
- Remove 1-minute limit of voice recordings
- 2 cuncurrent bluetooth connections (1 for wireless gps and 1 for bluetooth headset)
- Change color depth of background images in Now pane to millions of colours instead of 256
- Show the receive time and date of messages (e-mail, sms, mms) in overview list
- A repeating alarm (eg every day at 07.00) with exceptions (weekend)
- BCC option for e-mail (now only CC is available)
- Add sort & display options to contacts (by default sorting is last, first name which can be annoying. You can use a freeware tool like nameswap but that means all names also appear incorrectly in Outlook)
- Option to re-arrange the order of shortcuts in a custom Now pane
- Option to quick-record a conversation using the Option button during a call

That's it for now!

I second the call for an option to list contacts in first name/last name order.

Also, in my opinion, leaving off a proper external volume control was a mistake, so during a call the two side buttons should work as volume up (right) and volume down (left).

Just got my Sendo X and have a couple of wish list items I'd find massively useful coming from a 6600

Ability to short cut to new message
Ability to enter name in the new message, rather than having to go to options, add recipient

I'd like the predictive text to learn which words you use most and prioritise them accordingly. This is done on phones with SE and MS software, and it's really helpful.

One example that's particularly annoying to me is when I'm typing my friend's name, "Lesley", the predictive text always gives me "Leslew", which isn't a word, or the beginning of any word in English. I also type "night" far more than "might" and the predictive text on my last phone adapted to relect that.

Another thing that could be learned from SE phones is having smilies in the predictive text. Hitting 1 three times gives options of 😊 😉 😞 and ... which is very handy.

It would be beatiful if the lights of the screen and the buttons dim out

Heres the link, you would need to create an account with macromedia.

If you have a SENDO X phone , in the phone model seleccion choose nokia ngage and put your imei. It worked for me, just remember sendo its the allmost the same as nokia ngage😉 enjoy
