Sendo M550

A keenly priced stylish clamshell phone with colour screen and polyphonic ringtones. >> About this opinion I won't give an exhaustive list of features, as these are comprehensively described at Sendo's website from where you can also download the manual in pdf format for even more details. Certain comments such as battery life will be fleshed out later once I've used the phone more; this review is more of a first impression. I'll also be drawing comparisons with my previous phone, the Sony J7, to highlight the differences in features and annoyances. My review for that phone can also be found on this site. >> Why did I buy this ...  Read the complete review

I've had the Sendo M550 since Christmas 2003, when it was new to the shelves, and it's lasted me until now, with no major problem. I wont list the basic features; vsit the Sendo site and there's a massive long list, but it is a very basic flip phone. There's no bluetooth, camera or MP3 player here! The keypad is very easy to use and witha good layout for texting. The phone itself is very light, but it feels kind of flimsy, and the plastic silver finish is easily scratched. I've found that my SIM card will slip sideways alot, rendering it invalid until you take out the battery and adjust it back again. The screen is a good size, the actual ...  Read the complete review

The Sendo M550 is for people who want a small, very cool looking, simple to use, flip open, colour, £85-£100 mobile (pay as you go, depending on which company you chose). If you keep your old pay as you go number, you will get between £5 and £50 credit when you register the phone, depending on your call history (with Vodafone, don?t know about the others). THE PHONE: Near enough the size of a credit card, it fits in a pocket wonderfully. It?s got a cool sound when you open and close it (optional), a fairly good selection of polyphonic ring tones and good quality colour graphics. It?s got a clock, battery indicator and caller id on the front, ideal if you?re ...  Read the complete review

Who I hear you Say? Sendo is a new make of phone that are becoming more popular, i had never really heard of Sendo until i looked in the argos book and saw the M550 going for 80 quid. What more could you ask for? A cheap flip phone with colour screen, internet access, polythonic ringtones, cool games and a snazzy open and closing sound when you flip open the phone, what more could you ask for. With Sendo's name increasing in popularity but not yet very popular, the quality of the phone is superb and easily matches that of a nokia that costs about 120 to 150 pounds and only because of its name. A feature i also am quite surprised by is how small and ...  Read the complete review

My ageing Sagem had lost the will to live and it was time for a replacement. I didn't use the phone all that much but a series of missed but important calls convinced me it was time to get a working mobile again and not rely on the Sagem that was on life-support (permanent charge). I wanted to stay on the same PAYG deal too as that would cut down the hassle. After 3 or 4 days of much research I had some contenders - a Sony V200 and a Sendo M550. Both looked good, had colour screens and weren't attepting to be handheld games consoles. I was interested in how responsive the phone was to user input, battery life and call quality. When I ...  Read the complete review
