The Sendo X smartphone was launched in the UK in November, after a long delay. The Sendo X is a tri-band GSM/GPRS Class 8 phone running Symbian OS / Series 60 with Sendo enhancements. Talk time is 4-7 hours and standby time 100-170 hours, according to Sendo.

The 16-bit TFT screen measures 176 by 220 pixels, the processor is a 120MHz ARM unit with 64MB of RAM (32MB available), it plays MP3s and polyphonic ring tones, it synchronises PIM and email data with your PC, and does SMS, MMS and email (IMAP, POP3 and SMTP). It’ll even view a variety of PC document formats (Word, Excel, PDF, PowerPoint, ZIP and others) and has built-in Bluetooth, infrared and USB connectivity.

The Sendo X has a built-in digital camera (with flash) that can record video clips up to half an hour in length. It is unique unlike others because it has built-in photo editing software so you can tweak your cameraphone photos before you send them off.
