For me one of the nicer items of news from the Symbian Expo was the announcement that Vodafone would sell the Sendo X in the UK. Priced from �70 on low cost tariffs, �30 (Anytime 200) and free on higher tariffs. The dummy phones I've seen in the shops look nastier than the real thing, so get a hands-on demo if you can.
Sendo X in Vodafone UK shops
I posted this elewhere but the the Sendo X is currently free on ANY pay monthly contract from the Vodafone website.
Its a shame the Now! screen is going to be messed up with Vodafone UI and content.
I have to find out if its available in the UK as sim-free.
Vodafone HAVEN'T wrecked anything on the X with their branding. The Voda handsets have minimal branding, all of which can easily be turned off and allows you to go back to the Sendo defaults...all Now! functionality remains 😊
