How long you willing to wait?

What does the E1000 use?

[Ismail]

i dont know but definetly not symbain

[GhostDog]

What is better in the specs of the E1000?I only found the 260000 colour screen.

Why would they make it Series 90.UIQ is a great User Interface,and IMO what about the most important factor,third party?None for Series 90.

BTW:Nokia doesn't license Series 90.

The E1000 probably runs on Motorola's proprietary OS.

Back on subject, I'm losing faith in the whole sendo x project now

It's been delayed over 3 months and nobody knows any reason why, Sendo have not published any information as to the reasons for the delays or given a proper launch date (just the standard, we are in the final stages of testing and hope to have the phone out within the next month)

Where does this leave us on the whole subject of support for the phone, if they can't support the release properly and keep us punters interested how the hell can they support us when it's finally released

Oh and another thing - STILL no news from any of the UK operators touting it as their new phone

Oh, I ditched my Nokia Pastie (tm) and got another new 7650 to tide me over, guess I'm gonna end up with a 6600

[DAN55]

Sendo say that there will be a new release v soon?!

[maddog]

They've been saying that for over 3 months!

[Rayman]

They don't give any confirmation or information about it's release and there's no price announced yet, just a ball park figure based on what the Italians are expecting to pay. Oh, and there's a barely readable comment at the bottom of the smartphone page on their website about not yet getting approval for the US market. What a great company.... NOT . They should have stuck to what they appear to be good at, cheap and nasty PAYG phones, leave the smartphones to the big boys

If it's not released on or soon after the exhibition in Cannes they might as well forget it IMHO. My money's gonna go elsewhere now anyway.

[DAN55]

but wasnt the SX1 delayed quite a lot?

[willbrady]

And I think we wait about 6 months from the date Nokia announces a phone untill it's in the shops

I waited a lifetime for the 3650, had to get it on import in the end - it was another 3 months untill it was in the shops and on T-Mobile in the UK

So I don't think the delay is any worse than any one else.

Thou it's still very frustrating!!!

:(

[Rayman]

But Seimens and Nokia don't have to pin their future on one new phone and its popularity within the market. They already have an established brand name so punters are willing to wait and accept the delays and they launch many new phones to the market each year. Most of their existing users will buy their brands again and again.

Sendo on the other hand is a small fish with next to no brand (apart from its cheap PAYG) and no real credibility as yet. I would have thought that by launching its flagship product and then delaying it over and over without any proper announcements will prevent it from gaining any credibility at all....

Release date slipped again today.

Why don't ask Sendo just close the company and pass the X project to the other reliable manufacturer, like Nokia or SE?! Mar 18 might not be the real release date as they will delay the release again.

...Sendo X : This New Entrant to the Smartphone Arena Sets A New Benchmark for All Others in the delaying Segment...

[dabotsonline]

Why is Celluloco's price (and for that matter, the US list price) so high?

[Rayman]

Possibly because Sendo can't get the proper approvals to sell it in the US so it may never get there 'legitimately'. Mind you, it may never get here legitimately either

Next week is the 3GSM exhibition in Cannes, one of the proposed official launch dates (for the Italians anyway). I'm gonna get a friend who's out there for the exhibition to see what he can find out....
