Sendo X2 - what could have been...

Gooosh, what a depressive site...

Like Psion's Conan, Odin and Thor revisited again...

I knew I was working my a*** off for some reason. Besides, I know things are quiet on the Sendo front at the moment - we're waiting to see what comes out of Motorola's newly acquired R&D dept. Oh, and we're still actively searching for SSC members.

Just because a company goes under doesn't mean all of it's devices instantly vanish.

I agree. Psion vanished (at least as far as consumers are concerned).

But the Psion 5mx is still remanufactured...to this day.

But our Symbian OS v7 on netBook Pro petition led nowhere, unless we cash up for an initial order of 22,000 devices, then they'll do it.

I really hope Moto can do it this time though I doubt they would go anywhere near Series 60... I think they'd rather wait and put UIQ3 on it.

We know that the X2 will never be launched - that wasn't the point of the article. The point was that there are a LOT of Sendo X users who wanted to know about the X2. There are a LOT of people who would still like to get hold of an X2, even though they'll never be released.

It's highly unlikely that Motorola will ever release anything with Series 60 on it, but it IS known that they're doing some stuff with UIQ3 - I'm sure the talent they bought from Sendo, along with the 90 combined patents and pending patents, will mean that some of the Sendo code gets used in a future UIQ device. You never know, we might even see the Now! screen ported to UIQ! (as I suggested the very day Sendo went into administration)

Neither am I, because there wasn't any. Was there?

Sorry - probably got the wrong end of the stick. The whole "depressive" thing kinda bugged me a bit, but then again, I wasn't exactly feeling great when I wrote the reply.

Bad choice of words perhaps from my side too. When I read the review I kinda had this depressive deja vu feeling; another excellent device going down the drain; just like way back when Psion announced this wonderful Conan device running Eikon on top of ER6 with Bluetooth and then cancelled it two weeks before the launch, followed by the news that Thor (a Communicator phone also with Eikon on ER6) would not go farther than wooden mock-up and the Odin project with Moto (proto-UIQ on ER6) would be cancelled too.

This made me depressed...yet another excellent device never to hit the shelves...

It's like reading an erotic novel alone on Mars...😊

Yes, it's very true. The X2 *would* have been an excellent product, it is a great pity Sendo couldn't release it in time.

However, hopefully Motorola will pick up on some of the software which made the X2 so great (specifically Now!) and use that in one of their future phones.

infact i really miss the sendo trademark..just a few months ago i got my hands on sendo & the mishap happening 2 it was really disappointing...watever glimmers on other mobile companies still i think sendo was always one step ahead but unfortunately one step lagging behind in time...
