Saw the fone at a roadshow at raffles (city area),
fiddled around with the fone abit.
fone is slightly broader than the 6600.
button hard to get used to...

Pic quality is excellent..... no lag when moving around viewing.

Havent gotten to try the speakers though. wuz in a rush

Selling here at SINGAPORE DOLLARS $988. no contract.

I don't like the Sendo X, I like the N-Gage or 6600 much better!
I only like the idea of the flashlight and the mirror at the back.

I don't think Sendo X will be released in Australia ...

Only time will tell!

well as for sendo...... damm they take wayyyyyy to long to release the bloody thing.....
imgagine.... supposed to be last yr.... till tis yr still no news.

Anyway as compared to major brands like ie. nokia, moto, siemens
sendo is not well know here. there's no main office or distributor.
So products might not have good local support or servicing.
which i think is important.
Nokia Care center here is excellent. very fast service.
Moto( not too sure) but can be that bad.
these brands of hp has been here for quite awhile.

Now to think about it.... i m pretty tempted to try the siemens...
shit broke rite now....
rather than wait for the slow arriving sendoX.
yes the light and mirror might be nice.... as well as its home screen.
but what about support and warrenty?
if there wuz any problem wont it take forever to send it back and forth?
seeing that as possibility frm the time they take to release the fone.

TZE...
est? about 1k considerin that starhub will be the one bringin it in. as stated on sendo's site.... *hub is their carrier. or what.... i dunno.

350pounds... convert abt 1k plus.
but have u thought abt support??? i mean incase of s/w issues......or physical parts problems.... warrenty will be under *hub for sure.. and knowing they take hell of a time rectifying problems

well we definately wont have to worry abt siemens.

riise.... for mp3 u choose me????

GUYS... what u think abt siemens pricing? will it drop fast like other brands or models?
the thing abt this sx1... the buttons... and symbian not much local users frm sg knows how to use it well?
if so... do u think the price will drop fast or slow?

well, depends, i aint seen the fone myself, so i cant b sure.

software wise, it aint the best, so all the strong points are on mp3 (stereo), user friendliness and the cam, which i heard is superb. but no doubt, it will drop fast. almost all fones drop fast in value.

only fones i seen value staying high, are p800, which drop onli after p900 came out.

well, all tt of coz is juz my opinion. but sx1 wun stay for long.

Well i had a chance to play with the sx1 and when compaing it to the 6600 the sx1 screen lags when in the camera mode ,the 6600 just seems to be less laggy.

i did tried it at Starhub Tampines yesterday... my thumb is no long enough to type sms by one hand :( , so sad, the menu doesn't look that nice compare to 6600, u may still use other function while u use the mp3(speaker). The scroll joystick doesn't that easy to use compare to N6600....but i still like it very much.

hey riise i tried it today at Tampines mall as well... at M1.....
the sales girl had it hanging around her neck.... refuse to unclip it for me... so had to test it.. while its straped to her neck! LOL....
Damm aweful position.

mp3 sounds fine..... though hard to hear as its crowded there..... damm my bloody head wuz at her B%^&* area... how bad can it get????
smsing had to get used to as.... its yup hard to get used to the button layouts.... but hey... i did get used to my X3650..... why not this???
LOL!!!

Am planing to give it sometime for the price to drop b4 grabbing one... whoknows? maybe the sendo X will be out by then...

Just by looking at this phone, it seems nice. I've seen one on Ebay AU for AUD$1,200!

Just by looking at this phone, it seems that typing SMS is extremely awkward. Is this true?

LOL, lucky u press the right button.?? , i try it at Starhub, in SaleGirl's hand, she passed it to me so i can test. Me too waiting the price to drop. I quite sure i will get this rather than SendoX. P900 nice, touch screen but no radio and no joypad so it will be a bit difficult to use. O2 XDA II nice but expensive, no radio too... !

riise....

nah.... think and pondered over it....
might get the sendo if it ever comes out.
currently will see how many users in sg 1st.
m sure alot of sellers for 2nd hand sx1 by next month.
Singapore people .... sigh... sad to say... not all into this... more into for face!! getting newest fone!! if not its for status.... u ask them got what s/w.... ha? whats that???
LOL!!!!!!!
cmi.............

so if thats the case.... pretty sure price will drop fast....

but on comparing.... i'd get the sendo if possible.... by looks... it still looks normal......

oh 1 thing worries me.... the SX1 screen....
u shld see my 6600... aftermaket faceplate.. the screen's scratch pretty bad!
LOL!!! no changable face or screens for sx1.... wonder if its pretty bad how much siemens gonna charge for changing it?

That is true, sometime i believe Siemens is stupid, like my SL45 (still with me), u knowh how much i pay to change the original casing? S$ 1**.00 ! Why..emm may be the German smart, like Ferrari, who can modify it LOL.

Most ppl out there not really know abt S/W, when they saw my 3650 with Chinese...their face look :-o , haha... now waiting for ppl sell their SX1...wating waiting.... :D .

well then again there are many plus and minus. ey?

Sx1 os6. more available apps...
removable mmc slot without taking out batt.

6600... damm the batts in the way.
lesser apps...
no unlimited video recorder as of yet.

feel that os 6 is more stable?
