Sendo M550 - Blue Silver (Tesco) Mobile phone

Product Information

To Americans, the telecom world's model of promoting growth through vertical investments (a Nokia or an Ericsson bails out the carriers) and through IP sharing (yeuch!), and promoting common standards (that's goddam Communism!), must look like a filthy and incestuous business. Microsoft refused with the full knowledge that this refusal would push Sendo to insolvency", claims Sendo in the filing. There's no Snake from Sendo, but they've bundled two games into the memory of the phone. The first is a pretty competent but highly unremarkable version of Pinball. It's a good distraction, and shows off the graphics and sound capability of the phone, but it's not something that you'll want to play over and over again. The company is aiming to sell a”few million”phones in the first year and said sales of less than 500,000 would be enough to break even. a b Donath, Andreas (6 June 2003).

About the blog

For Mobile: lets you select a monthly Device Plan Credit Agreement (3-36 months) with a monthly Airtime Plan. Phone Plans over 12 months require a 24-month Monthly Airtime Plan. You can pay off your Device Plan early, and if you do, you can then keep your Airtime Plan on a 30-day contract or leave. If your Airtime Plan ends for any reason, you will need to keep on paying your monthly Device Plan (either in full or monthly) In 2004, Sendo sold 5 million devices [2] and, along with other major mobile phone manufacturer, showed interest in using Nvidia's GoForce graphic chips. [14] Sendo are pushing the X in four areas... See more, hear more, do more and play more. Let's use them to look in more detail at what's still at the top of my list as the most desirable Series 60 handset in the world. But first... The Phone Itself

Orlowski, Andrew (6 January 2003), "Mobile", Microsoft's masterplan to screw phone partner— full details: Sendo in the clowns, UK: The Register, archived from the original on 20 October 2011 , retrieved 28 October 2011 . This being a civil case, we're not quite sure where the burden of proof lies [reader advice is as ever, welcome]. Were Sendo a bunch of incompetent klutzes who didn't know how to integrate the perfect phone software they received from Microsoft in a timely fashion? Or was Microsoft lying when it said it could ship a carrier-grade phone OS to Sendo in the summer of 2001? At this point Brown suggests that Microsoft convert the share deal into a loan, repayable in three stages, and in February (last year), Sendo agrees. Stinker still hasn't shipped, so Sendo can't sell a phone. Microsoft refuses to pay Sendo some capital that was scheduled under the earlier agreement, Sendo alleges, and by spring the relationship has deteriorated to the level of legal threats.Unlimited Bundle: An Unlimited Pay as you go Bundle lasts for 30 days. Your bundle will automatically renew every 30 days if you have enough credit. To opt out call 2345. Includes unlimited data and unlimited minutes and texts: minutes to standard mobiles and landlines (UK: 01, 02, 03) and standard texts (excluding MMS) to use in the UK and Zone A. Unlimited Bundle terms, exclusions and destinations Apart from the issues mentioned above, I've no hesitation in recommending the Sendo X to people looking for a good all around smartphone. When it was proposed it was up against the Nokia 3650 and the Siemens SX-1. It's beaten them hands down. Now, even though there will be a few people who won't touch it with a barge pole just because it's not at the bleeding edge with the latest Series 60 build, the feature list on the Sendo X rivals (and just about out-guns) the Nokia 7610, which is it's current competitor. That says a lot for the forward planning of the designers. Could the Nokias do what we are doing? Sure, they could, but they don't," says Mr Brogan. "A 100,000-unit deal for a Motorola is not significant. When the market is 420 million mobiles and these guys have 20% of it – so they are making 80 million phones – when someone says, 'Can you divert 10 software engineers on this (customisation) project?' it just doesn't represent a significant enough opportunity. But for a company like Sendo, 100,000 phones is, well, we get four of those and that's great."

Many promotions and great discounts at SenMall booth such as: Rohto, Loreal, Anker, Sony, Senka, Sunhouse, JBL, Xiaomi, Logitech, Triumph, Unilever... How did it know? Well, meet Marc Brown, who was by now acting in his capacity as a Sendo board member while continuing his day job as the director of Microsoft's corporate development and strategy group. Ihlenfeld, Jens (23 July 2001). "Microsoft beteiligt sich an Handy-Hersteller" (in German). Golem.de . Retrieved 15 January 2011. One of Sendo's greatest commercial strengths is that they do have closer ties to the phone networks than the other manufacturers. While there's nothing wrong with that, it does mean that the Sendo X will never truly be your own computer that you can do what you like with. The Now! screen, and the possible pushed content from the Networks is one area that I'm wary of. For Smartwatches: lets you select a monthly Device Plan Credit Agreement (over 3-36 months) with a monthly Connectivity Plan. Watch Plans over 12 months require a 24 month Connectivity Plan. You can pay off your Device Plan early, and if you do, you can keep your Connectivity Plan on a 30-day contract or leave. If your Connectivity Plan ends, the Device Plan is still payable (either in full or monthly). Watch Plans require a Vodafone pay monthly airtime plan and a Connectivity Plan (via Vodafone OneNumber)Now, remember that Microsoft had no business relationships with carriers as a handset provider, while Sendo staff were pretty well versed in what to do. This, Sendo alleges, is what Microsoft's "Master Plan" was all about. As it claims: Smith, Anthony 'Tony' (13 September 2004), "Financial News", Sendo, MS settle: Microsoft settles Sendo 'tech theft' lawsuit: Microsoft settles Sendo 'tech theft' lawsuit— Both sides 'happy' , UK: The Register, archived from the original on 20 October 2011 , retrieved 28 October 2011 Sendo's description of a "master plan" to rob it of its secrets might look like paranoid nonsense, were it not for the fact that in that SDMA, Sendo's demise was in foretold. Microsoft had far more to gain than it had to lose by seeing its partner fall. sendo", which in Japanese means "what the future holds". Sendo seemed to have the right ring, so to speak.
