Brief Overview
The Sendo X Smartphone by Sendo, an almost unheard of company until now, is a technological marvel. The Sendo X weighs in at only 120 grams and is slightly taller but slimmer than the Nokia 6600. It's brushed aluminum (with faux carbon fibre sides) look makes appear it more sophisticated than some of it's competitors while maintaining the candy bar shape.

Based on the Nokia 60 series platform and combined with Symbian software, the Sendo X has the most features available for a phone using this same form factor. The Sendo X works on 900, 1800, & 1900 GSM networks making it very versatile for all carriers on different continents. Sendo has been working closely with Nokia and Symbian to make certain the Sendo X is one of the most technologically advanced phones to come out of Europe thus far.

For that price, its a killer deal!! it looks awesome too!! Don't know if its mono or stereo, but if its stereo, this has got to be the best phone for almost under 20k.
 
Going features wise, this phone seem to good to be true for 13k, the only thing worth checking out b4 buying is network signal reception quality, as many brands don't offer the signal reception as good as nokia, so try to get a demo if possible, b4 buying and if you buy, don't forget to put up a review here :D , i'm interested too :)
 
sendo X is a damn good phone for tht price...u can alternativly also go for nokia 6600 if u r a nokia fan cause it has almost same features as sendo X....

Just check out the phone before buying it cause it does seem 2 good 2 be true like sheriff said
 
It doesnt have FM radio :( .If it would have had FM it would have been the dream phone, but i guess you cant have everything in a cell-phone.Is it available in India??And for 13K??Can n-gage games be played on this??
 
Sendo X is definitely a good buy!!
Got all the features of a high ended Sony Ericsson or Nokia phone and that too at good price.
Myself planning to get one!

* mp3 player
* FM radio
* 176x208 pixels, up to 65,536 colour TFT display

i compared with the 6600 cause it is in the same price range now and i symbian like the sendo X
u cant compare a series 40 to a series 60 phone
 
^^ i dint compare witht the interface but with the features...

Do 6600 has EDGe?
Do 6600 has mp3 player? (dont tell abt ultra mp3 player)
Do 6600 has FM?
Also 6230 costs less than 6600....

yes man , it has stereo mp3 player :eek:hyeah:
my only prob is, having such a grt feature set, it shud hav killed other phones...but i hav hardly heard abt this phone... :S
have read many reviews on net, but cant find a single reson why this phone is not the bestseller of 2004...it was announced in Q4 2003 and released in July 2004...and still no review on mobile-review and gsmarena... :huh:

EDIT:Got my answers from this page...http://www.sendo-x.com/forum/index.php?showforum=8
Loads of problems, network probs and video playback probs.... :O

sob sob....
 
I think they do it on purpose, there never will be a perfect phone. Either it will be missing high quality musc capabilitys or it would be missing megapixel camera or it will be having limited memory etc etc.
