Storage
The phone has a large 64 MB internal storage memory of which 32 MB is
available for user applications. Nevertheless, the phone is capable of expandable
MMC and SD cards. Now users can have large memory capacities in their phones
for storing all the features the phone can do. As if that wasn't enough,
the system also supports hot-swapping. Easily plug-in or remove the external
memory cards as and when they require.
Connectivity
The X is a very well connected phone. It features all the latest PAN
(Personal Area Network) technologies. Bluetooth, infrared as well as a USB
data cable are included in the package. All this will ensure a seamless
experience. Sendo has also mentioned that they will shortly be releasing
a new Bluetooth car kit and headset.
 The
good news is that the Sendo X supports user installable firmware upgrades.
This means that users will have less trouble when they want to upgrade
the firmware.
The phone also has an excellent document viewer which supports a wide
range of file formats like Word, Excel, PowerPoint, PDF and ZIP. A CD is
included in the package which contains over 40 additional document viewer
plug-ins that will enable users to view other file formats on the phone.
Sendo officials have informed us that the phone will initially have a
language pack consisting of 7 languages., English, Dutch, French, German,
Italian, Portuguese and Spanish. A simplified Chinese version is also on
the cards.
Conclusion
Overall, the phone introduces some excellent features which take it beyond
the realm of the ordinary crop of PDA-phones out in the market. The main
rivals undoubtedly are the upcoming Sony Ericsson P900 and the new smartphones
from Samsung and Handspring.
While offering better memory handling capacity and entertainment options
than the P900, it remains to be seen whether the so-called enhanced Series
60 platform is really enhanced or not.
But the phone stays true on the catchphrase designed for it: "See More,
Hear More, Connect More, Do More." It certainly has a "More" feeling to
it. The phone should be officially released before the end of the year,
in time for the holiday shopping season.
