French Release???

Everyone using a French Sendo X REALLY needs to know when the update will be available. Anyone with the news of when this will be released, please state it here. I keep checking everyday of every hour to hope for a surprise (which really shouldn't even need to be this way) only to find out I am being let down again. I wasted another 15 minutes today trying to make a phone call, and it seems like it is not going to go away on its own. I am tired of maintaining false hope which is just plain damaging.

Are you not selling your phone anyway? I gave up on waiting for a firmware that works and have put my sendo on ebay. im going to end up loosing around �100 on this phone, but at least then I can just go back to my k700 that i know i can use as a phone.

What do you expect, $441 buy it now, no bidding. I got mine for around �200 (which works out at around $50 cheaper).

You may have more chance if you let people bid, you never know, you may actually make more than when you force people to pay one fixed price.

Oh and one more thing, you do know that if someone buys this phone and it doesnt work, like you say it doesnt, they are going to be asking for their money back quite quickly.

Point is that I purchased this phone The first week it came out. I am sure yours didn't come with extras. I am pretty sure it's clear now. I know how to sell, and if I wanted to get rid of it, believe me, I also know how. I not surprised it hasn't sold so no worries here. L@@K, I am still smiling! 😊

Fair enough, was just saying 😊

I've sold a good few things on eBay myself, made some good profit on some items 😊

i just sold my sendo x! i sold it for a bit of a loss, but a few hours later web retailers were selling the phone for less than i sold it on ebay for! good timeing egh

yeah, that would be me. they are good... 😊

Also, after the recent 60D upgrade, I now can use my phone like a phone. So I am keeping it. MP3 player still doesn't let calls through if your are playing mp3s or pause. You can receive a call if the player is stopped though.

I know its still early days as I have only just installed the portugese f/w into my french X but I am now getting reception in places that I couldn't before so thats good news, still waiting for somebody to call or txt me now though, after the probs I have been having, nobody calls me anymore :frown:

But if its ok to use as a phone now then the chances are that I will keep it untill the next gen of smart phones comes out.

I would just like to say thanks to Mart-is-good again for sorting out the portugese f/w, you did a grand job mate!!!!!

'60' Firmware is now available for French units purchased from : FNAC Centrale Dachat, Euro Communication Equipments, Sarl Expansys Southern Europe, Audim telecommunications, Sabatier Fils

'60' Firmware is not yet available for France: SFD & SRR or UK: Vodafone.

Looks like I spoke to soon,

I have lost all my panes except "My Pane"

Cr*p phone is going back now.

Cya hope you all sort your probs out.

Im sorry it didnt work for you. I still find it very strange that some people have so many problems, and some have none???

Well my Sendo is now boxed back up and in the loft.

I received my p910i today and love it. So it s a bit bigger than ht eSendo but the build quality is superb and I have full functionality which I didnt have on the Sendo.

And unlike the Sendo I can make phone calls with it too.
