MS Stinger based Z100 next year now

Difficulties with a stable GPRS platform have forced Sendo to delay shipping its Z100 phone/PDA until the first quarter of next year at the earliest. Earlier this year Microsoft took a stake in UK company Sendo, which makes a variety of mobile phones usually re-branded by others, and which hoped to first have its phone/PDA available for this year. But Sendo said that it will not release the machine, based on the Microsoft 'Stinger' operating system, until it is certain the GPRS platform is reliable and stable.
