A blast from the past over at CoolSmartphone...

Robert Leigh from CoolSmartPhone.com has posted some high quality photos of the original MS Smartphone : the Sendo Z100. This was from the days where Sendo and Microsoft were best of friends.

" ... You may remember, back in the very early days of the Microsoft Smartphone, that Sendo were working with MS to develop a handset. It all went.. well, a bit pear shaped. Several lawsuits were flung about, and now it is said (by Sendo) that some parts of their design were used in the HTC Canary (the original SPV)... In a way it is a shame that this handset didn't become more widespread. It never got launched, and now Sendo have announced their new Sendo X - however the Sendo X uses Symbian OS / Series 60, whereas this Z100 model used the Microsoft Smartphone 2002 software. "

Makes for great reading, even if just for a spot of nostalgia.
