Are you sure? Have you tested it????? :frown:
If it is true what you are saying, then it is my money back from Sendo!!

It' s true !

works like a charm with The X,
very fast connection with the new version. Perfect 😊

Speedman, thankyou for your input. But I have read severall reviews of Route 66, Wayfinder and TomTom Mobile. Also I have been using TomTom Navigatror for some time on PocketPC and I am not in doubt in my mind what is the best solution, TomTom Mobile. Especially given the map-coverage where I live TomTom Mobile outperforms the competition.
I have been waiting for so long for this to be released for Symbian S60 smartphones, and the X being a "so called" Symbian S60 smartphone I assumed it would work on the X.
This phone is killing me!!!!!!!!!!! I feel sick, I think I need to puke!!!

Route66 does claim support for all S60 phones, including the Sendo X though, and comes on a RS-MMC (with adapter) so it can be used in the 7610 as well as the rest of the range.
i'll let you guys know how the route 66 mobile works out. I have one on my desk at the office (was overseas yesterday) and i'll be installing it today. I need to get to a odd address in London tomorrow night so it should be a good test!!

FANTASTIC!
i've just sold my Alpine SatNav (couldn't be bothered carrying the panel around) and TomTom Navigator 3 for my xda2 (you think the X has battery life issues?!) and have plumped for the Route 66 Mobile version.
It is as easy to install as shoving the card in the phone and selecting the icon that has appeared. One sms sent to register the thing and we're up and running.
The screen is great (in full screen mode) and recalculates the route very quickly. One of the best things over the Alpine unit i had is that the turn commands come through my jabra BT headset so passengers don't get the music cutting out every minute!!
a couple of crashes when i wasn't exiting the program properly (just clicked back to the phone without closing the app) but now i've figured that out - it's cool!
If a call comes through, the phone switches back to the phone screen but the app runs in the background. Switch back to the Route 66 app and you can watch the map just without the voice commands! excellent!! :icon14: :icon14:

Do you use a bluetooth GPS module too? And if so, how the hell did you get two BT devices to work simultaneously?

This is not possible ! 😉
i've not performed any magic guys! I have them both paired and authorised and it works perfectly. Who says you can't use more than one device at once? My Microsoft bluetooth mouse and keyboard work fine together ?!?.
I did just wonder if the connection to the bluetooth GPS module was lost when I was on the call but normally when that happens, you get the message 'connection to Bluetooth midule lost' or similar and you don't see the road moving under the red arrow on the screen. It did follow me around a roundabout so it must have worked. I'll phone someone this morning and i'll navigate to work and post up later on.

I can't offer any first hand experience on this - so far I've only used Bluetooth to sync to my Mac - but I do remember reading that Sendo don't use the standard Symbian (or is it Nokia?) Bluetooth stack, so maybe the X is more capable than other Series 60 phones.

The Sendo X is "not more capbale" than any other Symbian phone, I have adressed Sendo directly with this issue earlier, and the say that the Sendo X DOES NOT support concurrent bluetooth connections! (Connection to more than one bluetooth device simultaniously)
I have now tested TomTom Mobile myself..
And, IT DOES NOT WORK on the Sendo X!!!! :frown: :icon13:
What a MAJOR BLOW for me!!!! :frown:
I tested it on my friends Nokia 6600, and the software is just excellent, the user interface is truly nice and intuitive!!!
Sorry, but this isn't rocket science...
Tom Tom Mobile WILL NOT WORK on a Sendo X because Tom Tom requires Series 60 2.0 and the Sendo X uses Series 60 1.2!
The two versions are not completely compatible with each other!
It's not a bug!
Using Series 60 1.2 was a design decission taken by Sendo when they started development on the phone, and they have published all along that this is the version they're using. It is therefore up to the customer to check that the software they want to run on the phone is capable of running on Series 60 1.2.
(as it happens, the only phones to use Series 60 2.0 (that are currently released) are the Nokia 6600, 7610 and 6630)

Hey mister rocket-scientist!
I don't know where you did get that information from (Series 60 v2.0 and not v1.2) since TomTom is not providing ANY information to my thousands of mail
about that!
I have NEVER claimed it was a bug! You are english it seems, so you should also
be able to read english! And I have known all the time that Sendo X was running
S60 v1.2 and not v.2.0. Still I hoped (assumed) that TomTom was making their
software capable of runningh on most Symbian units possible, and also the
Super-Duper Allmighty Best Smartphone ever made, with Sonix DSP Audio, Graphic
Co-processor; the Sendo X.
The fact that TomTom chooes not to make their software S60 v1.0-1.2 compatible
just shows how outdated the Sendo X allready is!!
None of mye favourite symbian games work. Well, let's try to forget that and use
it as an office-phone, but hey QuickOffice v2.0 Premium (with editing capabilities)
does not work either, well let's at least try to use it as a navigation tool, but hey
TomTom Mobile does not work.
Hey, let's try to make phone calls with it !!
What??? You can't hear me on the other side !?!??
*no comment* 😡
You can't blame Sendo for a completely independant 3rd party application developer choosing not to support a platform, Sendo have no conrtol over what they do!
Calling the X out of date is also calling a lot of other Series 60 phones out of date. The Nokia 7650, 3650, 3660 N-Gauge, N-Gauge QD, Samsung D700, and Siemens SX1 all run Series 60 1.2. This is the vast majority of Series 60 devices on the market!
Only the Nokia 6600, 7610, 6630, 6260, 6670 and Panasonic X700 run Series 60 2.0, and some of them aren't even available in the market place yet!

When Sendo raises expectations to the level they did, they must also reckon
people get dissapointed when the product does not live up to it!
I bought this phone because I wanted something better than all the other
phones in the market, looking at the specifications and the marketing of
Sendo of this phone I was sure to get that.
Man was I wrong!!
well, I tried it on the way to work and it did allow me to use the phone and the navigation at the same time. If it doesn't allow the use of two at once, how do you account for the voice instructions coming through the jabra headset? You could argue that it multiplexes the bluetooth connection to briefly switch to the headest to play the voice instruction and then switch back to the bluetooth GPS module before Route 66 notices the GPS module missing.
When I have the Route 66 program running, the bluetooth icon on the phone has the brackets around it (O) to indicate a constant connection.
Now unless the GPS connection is lost and the navigations continues to work WITHOUT any GPS assistance, I can honestly say the headset and GPS module work together. Normally as soon as the GPS is lost, you lose the scrolling road and the red arrow disappears leaving just a dot in a circle (just like when the GPS is acquiring Satellite fix).
If you say it can't work, then we'll have to agree to disagree!
Struyk wrote:If you say it can't workI'm glad to hear it does work, I'm now wondering whether this combination will work on other Nokia phones....
If Sendo says that it doesn't support concurrent bluetooth connections it doesn't mean it won't work. It may just mean that if you have problems then they won't try to fix it. 😉
Companies often have lots of unsupported features in their products.

Hey Pelwell, I'm about to get a Sendo x and mainly because of the compatibility with a Mac (OS X). Can you tell me if the sync works good with the X? Did you have any problems? Do you also use any GPS/Navigation software? I'd like to know first hand from a Mac user if you have any issues before I buy one. Thanks a lot man!!!
Good luck, firemlian, I gave up on my Sendo about a year ago when the network unreliability, poor microphone and general sluggishness became too much to bear, and went back to my snappy, reliable 6210 with a good battery life.
But to answer your questions: I never had any problems syncing with my Mac - that was probably the nicest part of the system. In common with all(?) Series 60 devices you can't sync notes (e.g. only the headings of To Do items are transferred), but calendar and address book entries work just fine. I'm still a 10.3.9 user, but I have no reason to believe that iSync in Tiger wouldn't work just as well.
I have no navigation software, so I can't help you with that.
