Sendo Accused of Sabotage

1 replies · 3,387 views · Started 05 February 2003

Microsoft has finally decided on how to do away with Sendo's unreasonable assumption that doing business in a fair and professional manner would benefit everybody by throwing back the accusation that Sendo deliberately tried to produce a crap phone, or to put it another way; that "management determined to release an unstable and unreliable product". The only evidence that Sendo wanted to produce a dodgy product (which is what any company breaking new technology into a young market would want to do :roll: ) is that they originally chose Microsoft's Smartphone 2002 platform, but surely, Sendo can argue that any flaws found in the phone were 'features' or 'design decisions'? Anway, for more information view this article on The Register and see for yourself....

After all, it must be perfectly reasonable to assume that Sendo would have wanted to enter the smartphone market with a duff product. Any company breaking into a new technology wants to fail and flop on its arse because that't how to succeed, isn't it?

So where do we stop? Will Microsoft sue Orange for deliberately making the SPV unusable? Can we sue Microsoft for releasing Windows with bugs which it knows about?

:roll:

Good old Microsoft.

Find out more here from the BBC Online web page.

Apparently this has been a matter if duscussion at 3GSM. This thread on MoDaCo is to do with Marc Brown, Microsofts representaive on the Sendo board. Why did he not let Microsoft know of Sendo's financial position and stop Microsoft being decieved by them? Worth a read.
