I just got an email from Sendo, because I pre-ordered the unit on their website. In this email, they told me, that the Sendo X is just about to be released. But they are just waiting for the GO from the Software-Section. They say, that the final units will be send at the end of Cebit or latest at the beginning of april. I hope, it will be very soon!:D

what do you think, will it be cheaper cheaper than 6600 and sx1?

ill have to say that the price would probably be very cheap

sendo might probably want to make up the lost time;)

I already paid 100 Euro precash for ordering the phone. When ready to ship, I have to pay the rest of the money. 419 Euro.
So all together 519 Eurobugs. A bit expensive, but it´s worth the price!

I preordered it too, but due to the release at the end of march i fear that everbody could but it then at different places for a cheaper price ...

I've pre-ordered mine from about 5 different places.
I'll see who gets it first and whos the cheapest before I decide which one to buy it from :)

Will

whats the sort of uk £ price? i hope it is no more than £300 ?!
if its more than that i think a lot of people will go for the nk6600 or similar?

If we take the value of the currently estimated price of the sendo x(519 euros) the price in pounds is about 360. So yes it is slightly more expensive than the 6600 but we shall see if it is better!

It´s definitly much better than the 6600.
The 6600 is just plastic crap.

where do you all pre order it from

My pre-order is with Expansys.
Still no details on their website regarding price/availability though :

http://www.expansys.com/product.asp?code=108279

Does anyone have any inklings into what UK networks will be supporting the Sendo X and how long after the phone is released that it would be available for the various networks, especially on the T-Mobile front?

Also how long do you think the sendo x will take to become reduced in price and part of a special offer as you see in most of the UK tabloids every day?

I think the phone looks great and the specs say it does everything i would want it to that the 7650 doesn't.

I really hope they announce this soon as my current handset has started to turn itself off at random intervals. Most annoying. So I need a new handset now. If the sendo x doesn't appear soon I may have to go with the 6600 ...

scary! ive heard that the 6600 is full of bugs :(
..and there are no self upgrades available, so that will mean lots of trips to your local service center!

but come on Sendo, give us some good news!

Sorry it's too late, the newer phones have cleared the horizon, I'm not investing in a phone with only a VGA camera.

1.3mpixel will be the norm in a few months.

Maybe job, but the X still has an impressive features list.
Paul

tomorrow i will post some good news about this great phone!

and the goods news for today is?

.... in uk shops this week... maybe??? ;)

....or maybe next month more like! :(

sorry but any news..maybe fiday!

yeah will wait for fiday(whenever that is)

Yawn yawn yawn yawn yawn.....

I've had it with Sendo. How many release dates can be made about the same phone??? There's a definate feeling of deja vu everytime someone thinks they know what the release date will be. I have totally lost faith and interest in this phone ever making it to public release. Anyway, from what's been said about the example on show at CEBIT it is a long way off being ready for public consumption.

My upgrade date is up in April and my money is going elsewhere even if the X does get released before then (unlikely). I'm sure that all buyers of the eventual release will have hours of fun upgrading the buggy software ;) :D

In the words of Homer Simpson, "So long suckers"

true....but atleast they will be able to upgrade it, unlike the buggy 6600!

:D Has anyone got any more info on the release date and price of the Sendo X in the UK, especially for use on Virgin mobile. I have always stuck with Senndo and I will persist and get the Sendo X rather than the other smartphones. Of course there are going to be delays with a product so technologically advanced. :D :icon14: thumbs up for the sendo x :icon14:

Release will be End of Mai in Germany, Beginning of Mai in Spain & Italy, no rumors about UK so far ... :D

How many times have we heard that?
Where do you get this information, still nothing on the sendo site?
Celuloco say April27, but again me thinks they just make up a date.
Oh well - heres hoping...

;)

well i hope that is the date as its my birthday on the 27th what a great present that would be, hope sendo are watching... come on make my birthday :)

I'm sick of waiting to be honest, quite happy with my 6600

The following words are a very personal opinion. So don't be offended by them.
I followed this thread since december now. Ever since I found the phone on the internet. Logged in two,three times a day to find out the status of the Sendo. Recommended it to friends as the best value on the market. But today in my search for news about the Sendo I stumbled over the remark "the MOT MPX rocks". Even though i was kind of ignorant to other products since the Sendo fever got a grip on me, I got curious. I knew abot the MPX's 100, 200. But was unaware of the MOT MPX. I know what comes next. Oh no, not a MS phone. Well, probably I have more reasons to hate that system then some of you do. As my work is very much related to the MS Operating System. I chose,choose and will choose a fare share of technology just to avoid MS. On the other hand most of the non-mainstreem technology I chose in the past (like Betamax video, Atari computer etc.), is at the moment stored in my basement as useless dustkeepers.
I still believe it was the better technology in due time. Unfortunatly the mainstream is usually of a different opinion. Maybe some of you will agree that the mainstreem has it's advantages. Most of the cases it's cheaper, easier to maintain (more Information and services are available), and you get a quicker grip on spare parts or additional components. I was looking for a phone with a nice design, lot of functions and up to date features. The Sendo had it,but in two three month it will be definetly outdated. I also like the all in one idea. And with the MPX I will fullfill a small dream of me, and I don't mean the 1,3MP camera with a flash. It is to have a complete and dynamic(TMC) navigation installed on my gadget. Two minus points is the MS operating system and the weight. (180gr.) But the size and the features are just awesome. I have to admit the statement the MPX rocks is really true, at least in my humble opinion. All the best to the people who are still willing to wait for the Sendo X. I am sure I still will be jealous when I see somebody actually using it. But well. Let's see who will get his device first, as the Motorola announcement states that it will be out in the second half of 2004. I am curious. Cheers from a very dissapointed former Sendo X believer.

i'm following sendo since the announcement of the sondo z100 which was a phone based on ms smartphone. i pre-oredered it only to see it canceled shortly before release. i'm a loyal believer in ms products (call me what you like) and never had any trouble using ms products, so i have to admit that i not always be happy with decissions made by ms. but i'm a happy user of ppc's (never looked at palm so, but like the sony clie's), that i had a spv (ms smartphone) and now use a xda2 (ppc/pe). i never looked back at nokia since getting my first s/e and i took a big look on the p900 but at the end got the xda2 that i'm more than happy with... i have to admit that i'm thinking of getting a new phone and i'm considering the SendoX or the Mot mpx100. the MotoMPx can't really be compared to either the SendoX nor the mpx100. the MotoMPx is a PPC/PE, more like the xda2 but only clamshell and with a smaller screen. i'm not at all excited of the MotoMPx, but what does that matter ;) and if you compare the SendoX to the new Sagem ms smartphone (what really makes sense) they are nearly the same phones but with different os. and i hope the Sendo makes it to market before the Sagem. but we well see...

At Celluloco for 899,- It says they have 30 Items in stock. Thats Murphys Law, I decide not to have one anymore and they start shipping it.

30 in stock, but hte price...

Bullshit, there are NO items in stock, read this:

Thanks for taking the time to write to Celluloco.com. Here is our
feedback on your request:

If you click on Sendo X's page itself, you will see that the item still
sits very much as a PRE-ORDER mobile. Currently there is no firm ETA on
its release from Sendo. We apologize that all of the related thumbs are
not speaking the same language throughout the site. We will be fixing
that very soon.

Best Regards,

Celluloco.com Support Team


It is not released yet, but maybe on monday i can tell you more ...

We are waiting for the 'news'..........

:)

What exactly do you mean by NO items in stock. I was at the celluloco page on the 22nd and they had the 30 items listed at that time. 5 hours later, the stock of 30 was gone. When I locked in today, they had 30 items in stock again. I tried to order one and it actually works. I canceled it before the last step as I will not pay 899$ for a Sendo. But nevertheless it worked. I can't state if celluloca has the phone really in stock because I didn't order and receive one. But neither can you, if you are not the distribution manger of Sendo, and even then you couldn't be to sure. I purchased quite a few items from different companys like Sony or Siemens even before they were shipped officialy to the distributers. And it weren't always beta types. In one case the main responsible manager was complete unaware that the product was hitting the market unofficially. She wouldn't lie to me. Blood is thicker then water. If you know what I mean. There are always ways to get things earlier, depending on the price you are willing to pay and your connections. The unofficial ones. ;-) So let's not argue if celluloco is having them or not. As we both can't prove the opposite. All guys are waiting for the news you promised. I hope you have some today.

I phoned them up. And a representative told me they have the phone in stock. Who is going to prove whats right or wrong.

Well, their website currently says 'pre release' orders only.
I have been on their pre release waiting list since the phone was first announced a couple of months back - and they have never contacted me to say the phone was availible.......

Lets hope they have them in stock awaiting the official 'ok' from sendo to release them ;)

Hello,

the X will be shipped beginning at the 15.05.2004 to spain & italy. At the moment all major mobile newspapers are "equipped" with a final hard- and software version. The X is expected to be released here in germany shortly after, which means 'til 31.05.2004 :D

@guest I

You are able to read, aren't you?? The comment i wrote with in my last post was the OFFICIAL answer from celluloco ...

There is NO X available NOW ...

What about here in the UK?

but what about the uk?!! surely Sendo havent forgotten us! :(

I've been away from this forum for months and I have to chuckle to myself that you guys are still rattling on about the release date of the Sendo X - you were discussing that in January!

The X is old hat now. Go and buy a Moto MPX100. I bet that will be out sooner and it's a far superior product.

i would take the bet. the mpx100 will come out LATER then the SendoX. simple as that... sendo is going to ship the phones in may, Moto is going to ship the mpx100 in the second half of 2004. and i would bet that this is not june/july for sure... (but i lost so many bets, who really cares...)

Sendo May.....yea right!

May 2005 maybe ;)

But the Sendo is now an 'old' phone compared to what's due to be released, the MPx100 isn't. And it doesn't matter if it is shipped before the MPx, if indeed it is, it's still LATE!!!

Sendo waved goodbye to the boat about 4 months ago IMHO. :wavey: :hahaha:

At a recent smartphone meet in London (last week), the MPX100 was there for all to play with. Who last played with a Sendo X?

According to shopforphones the mpx100 isn't out till late 2004. Is this right?
http://www.shopforphones.co.uk/motorola-mpx100.htm

2Q which is June onwards.

Why is shopforphones's website so far out with the date if its supposed to be Q2?

2Q which is June onwards.

Hmm, I guess it depends on each manufacturers 'year' but usually the quarterly breaks are: Q1 Jan - Mar, Q2 Apr - Jun, Q3 Jul - Sept, Q4 Oct - Dec...

Could be wrong tho, and often am ;)

Even better :)

only a month to go then! ;)

im pretty hacked off with sendo for still not issuing any official new/dates on their site. v poor :(

latest from sendo...

Indeed the phone most likely will be available in Spain before the UK. UK is planned for June.

Price is determined by the operator, but to give you some idea. Approx. 500 Euros without subsidy and SIM free.

Best regards,

Marijke van Hooren

how much is 500euros in american dollars?

how much is 500euros in american dollars?
Approximately 600 dollars....

Currently about USD600.

Currently about USD600.

Didn't I just say that :?

nk6600 just dropped below £300! if 500euro comes out at £350ish, then this might be too much?

Didn't I just say that :?Sure, but I had my reply window open for a while before I hit send & your reply wasn't visible when I wrote mine.

not my favourite design! :(

I JUST SPOKE TO SENDO TODAY, THEY SAID THEY ARE JUST FINIALISING THE LAST BIT OF SOFTWARE AND WILL BE READY TO GO IN A MONTH, YEAH RIGHT ? THEY COULD NOT GIVE ME A PRICE, ME THINKS THEY WOULD SAY ANYTHING THAT I WOULD LIKE TO HEAR

i don't like the things i hear lately from sendo. i preordered the z100 that was not released at all, i preordered the x and it's getting delayed from one month to another... i canceled the order today, no more x for me sendo. try to sell that to others... (which i think shouldn't be that hard, a lot people are still waiting for this) it's sad, i just wanted the x to play with and see what they come up with after the z100, but, even if it's only a week, it's to late for me... i can live with my other phones very well and save the money for another gadget. goodby sendo

Good news:

Expansys has updated their sendo page

Price of £299. Sound good to me! :)

I've just got this email from Sendo:


Dear Mr Wolstenholme,

We will be shipping the first phones this week. The UK however is not the first market. I expect that we will ship in the UK in June.

Best regards,
Marijke van Hooren

I've just got this email from Sendo:

Yep, can confirm the news:

Yes, but it is thursday tomorrow....how many days a week do sendo work ???

Hi.
Just got this email today.

I was travelling. It therefore took me somewhat longer to get back to you.
We will be shipping the phone in the coming days. However, the UK will not
be the first market. I expect that we will ship in the UK in June.

I cannot yet give you the network name, since the network buys the phones
from us and they want to decide when they announce a new phone in their
range. Price without subsidy and SIM free approx. 500 Euros.

Best regards,

Marijke van Hooren

:rolleyes: :rolleyes: :rolleyes: :rolleyes:

Just in case anyone was wondering about him talkin about network name? I asked what networks it was going to be released on.

Sendo x for 500 euros? You must be joking.hehehe.I was reading how you were waiting so long for it to be released and in the end prepare to pay 500 for last year technology phone. I am sure it wont be realesed again for months and if it is then all good applications made for symbian wont work on it and you will be crying to sell it and buy decent Nokia 7610.

Around £350 is the current UK SIM free price


Response (MVanHooren) - 28/05/2004 10.13 AM
Approx. 350 pounds without SIM and without subsidy.
