I hope they pull it off this time, they had a lot of great ideas with the Sendo X (stereo output, 32MB memory, SD cards for expansion, today style screen) but sadly the phone was released far too late and in an unfinished state.

So all the apps which will run on the likes of the 6600 will also run on this model? Oh how i wish SE had a phone like this!

In theory, I had a lot of trouble getting the Sendo X to run any S60 apps, it's not been that much easier with Nokia's own 6630 either - I never had any problems installing apps on my P900, whereas with the 6630 I have to browse forums to find what is working and what isn't before even bother trying. I'm disappointed with S60 in this respect.

Why did they have to ruin the X's looks like this? The X2 is ugly as sin.

Also, one of the blokes who runs allaboutsymbian has spoken with people at Sendo and was told that it's running the ancient Series 60 1.2

Price: 290$ (US DOLARS)

The intention of Sendo is to bring Symbian to a whole new range of users and maybe that's why the recommended price form the producer web site is $290 or 220. The phone it will available for sale in July.
