Motorola Acquires Sendo

Jun 29, 2005, 12:53 PM by (staff)

Motorola today announced they have acquired much of the assets of Sendo, including Sendo's R&D Teams as well as the company's intellectual property. Sendo, the European phone manufacturer best known for its conflict with Microsoft over the never-released Z100 Smartphone, was a hit with operators but still suffered from poor sales. Monday Sendo announced it had entered the British equivalent of bankruptcy and was in talks with three companies for a takeover bid. While Motorola will integrate Sendo's people and patents into their organization, they intend to allow the Sendo developers to remain a distinct team that can carry on Sendo's carrier-focused handset development.

wow.

'smart move'?

I've had 2 sendo phones in my history of phones, I'd take an old Nokia over a new Sendo ANY day.

All sendo has is the one smartphone, maybe Moto will learn from that model, seeing as the mpx blew huge.

They went bankrupt for a reason, the phones I have seen from Sendo aren't even on this website, which confuses me.

Oh well, just my opinion.

Interesting

I find this to be a good move for Motorola. Sendo has been proved to have a stable and well executed OS. I hope this means Moto will produce smartphones similar to the z100 ans sendo X offerings. These two units blow any current Moto smartphone out of the water IMO.
