Advantages: Cheap, easy to use, great games Disadvantages: Small keys
...answer to my prayers. The Sendo S330. Sendo, the company, was established in 1999 so is a virtual baby when it comes to mobile phone supplying. I have to admit I had never heard of them until I was wandering around Salisbury's one evening and happened to spot this little phone, nestled among the nokia 33 whatevers. What attracted me to it? Well being the bargain hunter that I am, it was of course the price. This little belter was on the shelf at ... ...I can't really complain.
The Sendo S330 has a wap browser. I noticed that it was much quicker at connecting than my old Nokia had been too.
When you are not using your phone it sets itself to standby. This means the light goes off and the main screen displays nothing but the time. At the touch of a button though it springs to life and the nice bright display appears to guide you.
One thing I noticed with this phone was that when you are playing ...

Advantages: Cheap, small, thin and light Disadvantages: Oddly shaped, small keys
...never really heard much about Sendo I was slightly worried as to the quality of the phone, but it was unfounded. The phone, is tough, resilliant and works really well. To find out more about Sendo and the extensive range of phone they offer visit www.sendo.com

The phone is really quite small and does not have an external ariel. It is thin and fits well with the contours of the hand. The outer case is blue, but when purchased on other ... ...small, they are silver with black writing. There is one main scrosss key with an up and sown control, this is a large button located below the screen in a central position. The only key that I was surprised by was one which allows you to go straight into writing a message. Nevertheless its handy.
When switched on the screen displays the network and below this the time. In the case of having no signal no network is shown. MENU

Advantages: Small, easy to use, colour screen the list is endless Disadvantages: no dictionary function
...and easy to use.
SENDO Was recommended by my local phone shop at the cost of £39.99 without a sim but operating on any network.
I was a bit wary as I had never heard of Sendo and was a bit unsure of my purchase as normally I would have purchased a trusty Nokia, but I gave Sendo the benefit of the doubt partly because of the price and colour screen The phone is quite small The outer case is grey and black and the front is grey pinstriped, it has ... ...however not too small as I have long nails and still manage to operate it no problem There is one main scroll key with an up and down control, this is a large button located below the screen. When switched on the COLOUR screen displays the network and below this the time and has a fancy jingle.
The phone book is accessed by pressing the down key from the idle screen. It has a memory capacity of 250, and a search or delete function.
The battery ...

Advantages: nice and small and easy to carry Disadvantages: small screen and quite slow at times
ah , the sendo S330.
well i bought this phone in london about 3 yrs ago... i've got a new phone now ... but
it was a very good phone for what i got it for which was around £30 cause it had just come out then .. and when i first got it - it was my first colour screen phone- i thought - WOW!!! nice phone and the games seemed amazing like ten pin bowling , 4 in a row, splat the mole, rock paper sissors and more!
but when i started using it and looking ... ...WAS!!!
But ... if your the person who doesnt care about that and just care about a phone that'll text and phone people and your happy - this is a fine phone for the money , and really good when most colour screens are around 100 quid!
Anyway - its got the usual things a phone can have - you know :
WAP,
SMS,
Calls,
Games,
Ringtones and downloadable ringtones if with vodaphone,
5p calls if with vodafone,
and 9p txts once you have spent 3 12p ...

Advantages: A cabaret of features Disadvantages: Absolutely none
...rather exciting review for a Sendo S330 from Ciao (thank you MandyMinx!) and trotted off to see what I could find.
I checked this phone out first of all and, having done so, I wasted no more time looking at others. I had to get this new toy home as soon as possible!
Priced at £39.99, I couldn't believe I could get so much phone for my money. To list some of the many features:
Colour Screen, size 98 x 67 pixels, which you can customise Dimensions ... ...grey in colour.
The Sendo S330 is connected to the Vodafone network and is ready to use immediately with £2 of credit already on the phone. Vodafone begin you on their Smartstep tarriff which you can change later if you wish. The Smartstep tarriff, as of today, is a follows:
National calls and other Vodafone mobiles - 30p for first three minutes dropping to 5p per minute thereafter.
Calls to other mobile networks 35p per minute

Advantages: Bare essentials work well, bargain for money Disadvantages: No camera, no bluetooth, no polyphonic ringtones
This is a nice little phone for anyone who isn't planning on using it too much, and only needs it for the bare essentials. It's not one for kids to show off to their mates as it has no bluetooth, no camera and no real tones or even polyphonic ringtones, but it serves the purpose well enough, is in colour, and has some decent games if you're ever stuck anywhere, bored. The best games on this phone are TenPin Bowlnig, which is fairly self-explanatory, ... ...emerging moles and hit them with a mallet using the corresponding keys. They're not high-quality games, but they will do. However, it also has quite a few bad points. As afore mentioned, it has no camera, and where camera phones are fast becoming an incredibly useful and fun tool, this is quite annoying. It also has no bluetooth, which again, is not essential, but the lack of said feature is annoying. Furthermore, it's always nice to be able to store ...

Advantages: Cheap, Easy To Use, Attractive Disadvantages: No Additional Adding For Predictive Texts, Bad Colour Screen
When I first got this phone on christmas day, I looked forward to the vibarting feature, polyphonic ringtones and colour picture's. How sorely I was mistaken. After reading through the instruction manual, which may I add was full of spelling mistakes, I charged the phone and turned it on. I was initially impressed by the colour screen, and the colour menus which were easy to navigate and placed in a decent order. The first thing I wanted to do was ... ...screen, turned it to predicitive text and started texting. When I got to a word that wasn't in the dictionary, I realised that there was no possible way to add, I couldn't make additions to the dictionary. This is the same on every s330. So you have to change to normal text messaging every time you want to add a word. This alone put me of the phone.
I thought "oh well, il get over it" however i went to view the colour pictures and the features that ...

Advantages: Good games and colour Disadvantages: Small buttons and missing some features that i like
When i first bought my Sendo i was really happy it was small, light and an long lasting battery has WAP , dowloadable ringtones , Predictive text, Date, clock and alarm features, Pre-loaded Games and Vibrating alert, but this what it said on the box now when i actually used my sendo fone i found the colour screen was still as good as i wanted it to be but WAP is so expensive and uses my credit, the ringtones that you can download are about double ... ...word, well i can't anyway so if i want the word 'fine' it'll come up with 'find' and i can't change it but it's easy to change from predictive text 2 non-predictive text to numbers is very simple and easy. This phone is well packaged as the box is reasonably small, the phone, the charger are neatly packaged inside, aswell as that the sim card is already put inside the phone so you can't get it jammed inside.
The useful numbers are also easy to find ...

Advantages: Small And light Disadvantages: Buttons on the small side
Thjis phone has everything on it you would expect for the price a Colour screen, Standard ringtones and six games including ten pin bowling and an old favourite of mine scissors, paper and stone. it is also wap enabled so you can download further melodies and backgrounds.
Although the melodies and backgrounds that come on the phone are very few.
It is very easy to use, the menu is very straight forward,.
In the box you get just the phone charger ... ...acessories which is useful.
