About this deal

Sendo freely admit that the Sendo X is later than announced, but to be fair to them, 15 months before the launch they were still working with Microsoft on the Z-1000, and hadn't even seen one line of Symbian code. You want to know how long a smartphone takes to make? Ask the boys from Birmingham.

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." Sendo's solution is to offer operators customised phones that can be ready for retail shelves months ahead of their bigger rivals. Because of a unique manufacturing process that starts in China and is completed in Holland, Sendo phones can be made in different colours and in different shapes, with the operator's brand and special buttons, as well as embedded software for graphics, games and ringing tones, all bespoke for each operator. 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. Microsoft's dalliance with cellphones is interesting for a couple of reasons. Firstly, because phones are morphing into a computer platform of great social value in unimaginably great volumes, only they're pouring into a terrain, a business that Microsoft doesn't yet own or fully understand. Microsoft was clever enough to understand that volume economics worked, when Bill Gates with great foresight engineered the PC DOS license. So Microsoft understands volume economics. That we know. Brogan believes the company is ideally placed to meet this need by offering unique physical designs and customised software.Its manu- facturing technique also means it can ship products within 48 to 72 hours. A basic electronics module is manufactured in China and shipped to the Netherlands.They're a bunch of geeks who don't share their hoard and don't know how to partner a relationship, the market tells us. They act like children! And the world seems to be stampeding - irrationately or not, you decide - to the Euro-Asian model, even adopting technologies that don't really work just yet - such as WCDMA, rather than Qualcomm's smarter cdma2000 - because they offer the buyers a choice of multiple (non-US) suppliers. Which maybe isn't so irrational if you think about it. You can redeem your Trade-in Bonus as a monthly saving on your Pay monthly airtime bill or as credit on your Vodafone account. You can't get your Trade-in Bonus as a bank transfer.

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.

To go along with the GraphiX chip, we've got the SoniX sound system – any sound requests sent to the main CPU are again intercepted and passed over to this system, rather than going into the regular Symbian/Series 60 sound code. Where this is most noticeable is in the MP3 player. Unlike the original Nokia N-Gage (but like every other handset) the Sendo X has a software based MP3 player. But because of the SoniX chip, it's a lot smoother and you can multi-task with a lot less 'pauses' than on other handsets. And we've got stereo sound through the supplied (stereo) hands free kit, which will please the audiophiles. Sendo was a British manufacturer and supplier of mobile phones founded in 1998 and based in Birmingham. [1] The company went into administration in June 2005 and its technology was bought by Motorola. [5] For Laptops / Tablets: lets you select a monthly Device Plan Credit Agreement (3-48 months) with a 24 month Data Plan. You can pay off your Device Plan early, and if you do, you can then keep your Data Plan on a 30-day contract or leave. If your Data Plan ends for any reason, you will need to keep on paying your monthly Device Plan (either in full or monthly) 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. The big mobile-phone manufacturers are continuing to innovate, making smaller, lighter phones with more capabilities for delivering WAP services and media-rich content from music clips to directions to restaurants. Sendo has several models of its own in development, including its first WAP phone, which will be ready in the second quarter.

Virgin and Sendo have co-developed the phones that will be on the market in the UK in the next three months. The phones will have a distinct shape and special buttons, as well as a prominent Virgin Mobile brand. "These are small, cosmetic things but they are increasingly important," says Mr Day. 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) If an operator sees that his red phones are out-selling the rest, he can call us and we can deliver a new casing within 48 hours anywhere in Europe," says Thomas Leliveld, director of commercial operations for Sendo. Right then, connection options to your Windows PC are as follows. Infrared. Bluetooth and USB. Infrared and Bluetooth are self explanatory, and similar to other handsets (but it's nice to have the option of either). The USB needs a little bit more in-depth investigation. When we're running a Trade-in Bonus promotion, you may be able to get an additional bonus on top of the trade-in value for the phone you're trading in, when you buy a new phone.
