I always thought that Sendo phones were bargain basement phones, but then I saw this..

Could give the SX1 and 6600 a run for their money.

A bit of an ugly phone, but it does have dual cameras and auto switching between 2G & 3G..

cheers Nick :)

The Sendo X, very impressive and I'm actually interested in seeing how this one turns out. Seems nice enough and not lacking in features (tho it says nothing about recording video, just playing). The design is, well, a bit weird and I doubt I'd get on with the keys that well...

The SE P900, I was looking at this thinking "I could actually buy this, and I'd be happy" and then I noticed that in typical 'old' Sony style, theres no directional keys, just a Jog Dial, which would piss me off pretty quick, especially if I was using it right-handed. Plus I never did get on with stylus's, especially when your in a hurry.

The Siemens U15. I was considering the Moto A835, which is the more feature-packed version of this, but with some pretty bland colours for the UK market (it normally comes in either all black or all silver. Nice enough of their own, but '3' have made the stupid decision of making the UK one black plastic at the top and crappy grey plastic at the bottom, bleh...). Then I saw this, and thought 'well, the A835 is better featured, especially memory, but if it's anything like the other Moto '3' phones, I'm going to avoid it because of it's ridiculasy slow speed....
Oh, and Nick, most '3' phones have auto switching between 2G and 3G, mine does it so that if I'm out of 3G network coverage then it switches to 2G mode for calls and texts.
the other thing is, the guy in the '3' store said the A835 was going to be a similar size to the A830, maybe a 'dieted' version, but no huge difference, but having seen that Siemens i'm actually being swayed back ever so slightly....(it's not as big as I thought in other words.)

And, the LG SC8000....
Well, it's different, but not my cup of tea (or coffee, or beer or whatever :) ) mainly because of the size. Thats one of the reasons I sold my Pocket PC, was because althought it was (and bascily still is) the smallest and thinnest on the market at the moment, due to the size of the screen it was too big to keep in your pocket all the time (ironicly, given the name).
Excellent colour screen on this one tho, and after reading the screen size again it might not be that big (hopefully...) but still, it's a Pocket PC at heart, and I could never use it as a phone. I like my phones to be fully-functional, but also very easy to just whip out and use without having to use stylus's or flips or whatever.

But thanks anyway Nick :)
