Sagem MY X-2 review.

Sagem MY X-2 is announced in 2003

Design

Having gained fresh wind in its sails over the course of the past year or so, Sagem has certainly made its mark on phone sale hit lists recently, the Sagem MY X-2 is a very slender and compact handset at 99 x 45 x 21 mm and 89 grams. The 256-color display unfortunately suffers from a very grainy appearance. The grainyness is not a problem when displaying text, however, just images - and due to the MY X-2 first and foremost being a color phone, this is less of a problem than it could have been.The display resolution 101 x 80 pixel is not very high but is normal for small phone like this.

The left side of the unit holds a spacious volume rocker.There is nice LEDs which notify users of new messages, active network and missed calls. This is not common for all Sagem handsets and is not necessary to pick up and activate the device to see whether any alerts are waiting.

Ergonomics

The MY X-2 lies well in ones hand.A numerical keypad placed below offers appropriately-spaced keys and are pleasantly comfortable in use.Sporting a simple and user friendly menu in style with other recent Sagem handsets.The plastic keypad has good placed keys, with the shrunken center keys for no apparent reason, make the phone harder to dial than necessary.Unfortunately, the keypad of the Sagem MY X-2 emits excess noise, but on the bright side its keys have been comfortably spaced and sized. We're not entirely happy with the design of the navigational pad and its adjacent buttons, however, as distinguishing between these less easy than it ought to be.And last,but not least, a four-way navigation buttons centered below the display.

Features

Dual band 900/1800 MHz connectivity isn't all the Sagem MY X-2 has to offer: there's also support for GPRS, SMS, and a range of applications such as WAP , 8-channels polyphony, all of which laptop and handheld users will be pleased to learn is a breeze to utilize either by means of GPRS support is the fastest way to download files with your mobile, and spacious phone book..

Performance

Audio quality on the MY X-2 was crystal clear, and signal quality was good. The removable 700 mAh Li-ion battery is rated for 2 hours talk time or 180 hours standby, which is quite low given the battery's theoretical capacity. Charge time is about 105 minutes.

Availability

The Sagem MY X-2 is now available throughout Europe in some language version.

Conclusion

Sagem's MY X-2 is yet another model in a range of phones from experienced users from Sagem. A new compact design and a reduced sized battery - which avoids rendering a negative impact on battery life - ensures a thin and light phone which is ergonomically comfortable.
