Test report and technical data Sendo M550
Briton in chic look!
Positive about the Sendo M550: elegant design, good battery
Negative about the Sendo M550: no camera
The British manufacturer Sendo has presented his latest product on the mobile phone fair in Cannes just a short while ago. The new Sendo M550 is designed for extensive functions and features and combined with its elegant look, the Sendo M550 qualifies for the business - and entertainment-sector of the mobile world.
The Sendo M550 airs pure luxury, it would perfectly go with the equipment of a Mercy SL or a Porsche Carrera. The elegantly chrome-plated body of the Sendo M550 makes the Sendo M550 radiate with its whole noblesse. That such a mobile needs to have minimum dimensions is a matter of course. The chromed body of the Sendo M550 has dimensions of 82 x 45 x 20 mm only, hereby demonstrating taste with minimum size. With its 77 g the Sendo M550 even suits in her tiniest Louis-Vuitton hand-bag and his Armani blazer.
Sparkling in flashy colour-variations, the Sendo M550 delights him and her. The Sendo M550 offers outside as well as inside the luxury of a colour-display with 4.096 colours and a resolution of 128 x 128 Pixel. The external display is not as good, as the inside display, it does not need to, since it only serves for announcing caller-IDs, time and network-status. Especially striking about the display of the Sendo M550 is the white font on black background, rarely seen and very exclusive!
The Sendo M550 will be available in various different colours, for the pleasure of all design-lovers. And for those who completely fall for the Sendo M550, there will be numerous accessories for the Sendo M550.
Of course the Sendo M550 has quite some stamina. Imagining the stamina of the Sendo M550 combined with its style, elegance and glamour, any man should turn pale from jealousy. The Sendo M550 is fit for entire 5 hours talk-time, if not, the Sendo M550 will accompany its user for 400 hours in stand-by.
Certainly the data-transfer performance of the Sendo M550 is up-to-date. The Sendo M550 is heavy armed with a WAP-Browser, as well as GPRS (cl. 8) and of course the Sendo M550 can handle interlaced SMS and EMS. However MMS and camera are to be ignored.
Polyphonic ringer-tones and multimedia-player are as well covered by the Sendo M550.
The dynamic memory of the Sendo M550 can cover 500 telephone book entries, ringer-tones, screensavers, graphics and icons.
We still have to wait a while to see, how the Sendo M550 will stand the test on the market. The Sendo M550 is said to be launched in the second quarter '03 and we already know now, that the price of the Sendo M550 shall not be too high.
