I work in a phone shop and I can tell you unequivocally that this particular mobile is a piece of scrap. Half of what we sell develops a fault within 28 days, there is no camera and the menu is about intuitive as a Shetland pony!!

N/A · #3 04-03-2004, 10:23 AM

lazylazydave, as far as I'm aware, it isn't even available yet, so half of zero isn't much to sell.

You must be thinking of some other phone mode, I presume.

2nr · #4 04-03-2004, 10:24 AM

but... but the phone isnt even out yet..

[edit] yea what N/A said.. im guessing your thinking of mpx200

Rayman · #5 04-03-2004, 11:14 AM

Easy guys, dont be too hard on him!!
It does LOOK pretty tasty... but 2nr.... at the end of the day its from The Beast of Redmond so until they come out with a handset that you dont have to send back within 2 weeks, its not worth getting excited about... plus, its not ready until 2nd half of the year (probably nov/dec)

Series 60 on Symbian v6 is tried and tested... Sendo would have to go some to make it unusable á la MS Windows Mobile etc

The MPX100 will leave the sendo standing!

GPS + Wifi addons, decent buttons. The MPX looks awsome.

GhostDog · #8 14-03-2004, 04:02 PM

It looks nice but no info on CPU and RAM suggesting that there might be cutbacks in that area plus it runs Windows Mobile Smartphone 2003.

BTW:There are more then one Bluetooth GPS solutions available for the Sendo X.IMO,The X is a better option if they release it soon enough.

If i wont buy the Sendo x, i might probably wait until Telme T939 will release!
At the time i own a Telme T919. It has quit a bad Firmware, but Hardware is ok.

The MPX100 is my all time dream phone!

Looking at my past phones:

E200 - V Good, poor battery, buggy.
E100 - Good, poor battery, buggy.
SPV - Good for the time, poor battery.
MPX200 - Great phone but I don't like flips that much, old OS.
Treo 600 - Awful screen, awful dreadful buttons, unimpresed.
Nokia 6600 - good buttons, battery, dreadful PC sync software, weak OS
P900 - Too big, too much of a 2 handed phone.

Looking to the future:

Sendo X - Average buttons, OS could be better, average looks, too little info available.
MPX100 - Looks fantastic, great buttons, good battery, wifi, GPS, right size, everything I want and need from a phone.
