The Sendo X was Sendo's first Series 60 based "high-end" phone, developed after Sendo switched from the Microsoft to Symbian / Series 60 platforms.

Among the unique features of the Sendo X, one was the ability for users to download new firmware from Sendo's website and upgrade the phone from their home computer.

Background

Sendo shunted multiple times the Sendo Z100 to new release dates, and after cancelling the phone in November 2002 they announced to switch from Microsoft's Smartphone 2002 operating system to the Series 60 platform.{{Cite web|url=http://www.golem.de/0211/22548.html|language=German|publisher=Golem.de|title=Sendo kehrt Microsoft den Rücken|accessdate=15 January 2011|date=7 November 2002|first=Jens|last=Ihlenfeld}}

This decision resulted in the 2004Q2 release of the Sendo X.{{cite web|url=http://www.allaboutsymbian.com/reviews/item/Sendo_X.php|accessdate=7 May 2012|title=Sendo X review|date=8 July 2004 |publisher=All About Symbian}}
