A couple of months before Christmas, while browsing several “bargain” forums, I came across what for me was a deal not to be missed. Basically Woolworths had made a pricing error and for a very short period were advertising the Sagem MYX-7 for £29.99 and even throwing a free CD micro system in. Now who am I to refuse an offer like that, so I toddled off to their site, placed my order then sat with my fingers crossed for the next week, while they decided whether or not they were going to honour the order.
Lucky for us, we eventually got an e-mail confirming that they were going to send us the phone for that very special price, so we waited for the deliveryman to knock on the door with my husband's brand new phone.
On opening the box the phone came in we discovered the following :
The actual mobile phone Two Snap on covers A battery A charger A CD-ROM Instruction manuals And of course a SIM card
~~~The looks~~~
Well lets put it this way, the MYX-7 certainly isn't the most beautiful phone to look at. It's not actually all that big and measures in at 10cm x 4.6cm x 2.2cm, which is about the same size as a Nokia 3310. But, it somehow manages to make itself look much bigger. Our phone actually came supplied with two snap-on covers, a black one, and a nice shiny silver one. My husband preferred the silver colour, so that's the one I put on for him. I have noticed however that my local market sells some much nicer looking covers.
~~~Charging the battery~~~
Inserting the SIM card and battery was a simple enough job, as was putting on the cover of our choice. We then needed to charge the phone for the pretty customary 16 hours to condition the battery after which we were ready to go.
Now the battery life is reasonably good, and it will last upto a week without actually being used, and a couple of days with pretty heavy use. Of course, it doesn't take as long to charge after the first time, generally it takes under two hours.
~~~Turning on/off~~~
This isn't the quickest phone, when it comes to switching on, but it's not too bad, taking about 15-30 seconds, before it's ready to go. Switching off, however, is very quick taking under 5 seconds.
~~~The screen~~~
The screen is gorgeous, and takes up just under half the height of the phone. It's full colour, nicely backlit, and displays such useful information as battery life, signal strength, time and whether you have a GPRS connection. According to the Sagem website it features 65,536 colours and 128x160 pixels, which to me means that any pictures are displayed gloriously.
~~~The menu system~~~
The menu system on the phone is a fairly simply GUI, with links to the various functions on the phone. It is, however pretty confusing, even to me (who knows something about technology), my husband can only just manage to navigate to the texts and missed calls.
~~~Adding Contacts~~~
Adding contacts is to say the least a pain in the bum, you have to go through four different key presses before you even get to add a number. But when you are finally there it is worth it, you get to add the contacts first name, last name, e-mail address and a total of three phone numbers, along with the name of the company they work for, a photo and a comment. I'm not sure exactly how many numbers the phone will hold, but we've got quite a few on so far.
~~~Making Calls~~~
Making calls is fairly easy, especially if you've called them before. You can either tap in the number or go into your contacts and then press the green start call button. Once the call has started, there are volume controls on either side of the main navigation button, which maybe isn't the best design.
The phone is loud and clear depending on reception, but being on the receiving end of calls made on this, I have a gripe. It picks up every little bit of background noise, and I sometimes find I have to move my own phone away from my ear due to this.
~~~Texting~~~
Ahh, texting, now my husband doesn't send texts he just finds it too awkward on any phone so I've had a go at writing one, and this is what I've found. Firstly the keys are too close together, it's really easy to press the wrong key by mistake. Secondly, the actual keys don't actually feel like you've pressed them properly, it's hard to explain exactly what I mean, but there's so little actual movement. The final point is a good one (or not depending on how fast you text), it actually moves onto the next character very quickly. I can't actually comment on the dictionary function, as I never use it on any phone.
~~~The camera~~~
Now, I've heard great things about this camera, shame I don't actually agree with them. OK, it has a good number of options, including light settings and zoom. But woe betide you if your subject moves. Even a slight movement will result in a blurry picture. If your subject is absolutely still, then the picture is OK, nothing fancy but OK. You can also take pictures of yourself, by looking in a little mirror on the back of the phone.
But as well as taking still pictures, we can create short video clips, just for the fun of it. I can't really imagine any other reason, for using this rather than a camcorder. Although the clips are with sound they are pretty dire, and very short lasting literally a matter of a few seconds.
~~~The ringtones~~~
Most of the pre-installed ringtones are pretty dire, they just sound really tinny. There are, however, a few quite cool tones, I especially like the cow and baby. As well as downloading extra tones, you can record sounds to use as tones. My personal favourite is one we did of the children telling their Dad to answer the phone.
~~~Games~~~
The MYX-7 comes with two games pre-installed :
Gulo's Tale ~ A cute little platform game
Siberian strike ~ A scrolling aeroplane shoot-em up
Both games are of reasonable quality, and provide enough entertainment for short periods when waiting for a bus. You can of course download more, from various sites on the internet.
~~~Extras~~~
Along with the features above, the phone also has a calendar/organiser, sound recorder, calculator, converter, alarm, to do list and timer, which are all pretty self explanatory.
~~~Connectivity~~~
Now, my husband has never tried any of the following, but the phone has the following methods of connecting :
GPRS, WAP, Bluetooth and via data cables.
As I said, we've never tried any of these so I can't comment on how effective they are.
~~~Durability~~~
Well it's survived for the last four months without any damage or glitches, and that includes being dropped a couple of times, so it seems pretty durable to me.
~~~Unlocking~~~
This is a big bugbear, the phone is locked to the O2 network, and for the time being it looks like it's going to stay that way. We've been trying to get it unlocked since before Christmas at various places, with absolutely no luck.
~~~Accessories~~~
You can buy various accessories to go with this phone including :
New covers : from £5 at my local market. Data Cable : No idea where you would get this though.
~~~Price and Availability~~~
As I said at the beginning, we got this phone at the never to be repeated (probably) price of £29.99, but a search on-line finds that you can buy it from Argos on the O2 network for £74.95
~~~Final Words~~~
For the price we paid for it how can say that this phone was anything but a good deal. Even so, I personally don't like it, for some reason it looks and feels cheap and tacky, and it's just so hard to text. My husband however, loves it, even though he can't use half the functions, it does what he wants perfectly well, which is to make phone calls.
So the question is, am I recommending this phone? And the answer, I'm not really sure, it does an awful lot for the price, but there are better phones on the market that do similar if not more for not a lot more money. So my final advice is to go for this phone if nothing else is in your budget and you don't mind being locked to the O2 network.
Advantages: A great quality phone that's big on features and wallet friendly. Disadvantages: Small buttons that are close together make texting awkward.
If you've looked at my Sagem Myx-5 review, you'd gather that I stated "I probably would not buy another Sagem phone again..."
I was wrong. Very wrong.
At the time I wrote the review, the Myx-7 was actually out and I did gawk at the level of features it had for such a cheap phone! Even so, I thought I wouldn't get one as I was looking at the Samsung E700 in particular.
Turns out that the E700 was crap and got the Sagem monkey on my back again, ... ...don't you? Well...
The Sagem Myx-7 comes with:
All the usual business phone features like a full organiser and voice recordable memo, Currency calculator and standard calc. and handsfree etc.
Infra Red port - (From my experience this only works with other Sagem phones, but you can send photos and sounds free!)
T9 text input that finally has a customisable dictionary (Hallelujah).
Java platform - Compatible with apps and games. (Comes pre-loaded ...

I bought this mobile after seeing it recently on Woolworth website....discounted from £129.99 right down to £29.99....with a free cd mini system thrown in!!!
Obviously this was a pricing error. (Someone had messed up at woolies, I bet he/she no longer works for them!)
Anyway, I placed my order...fully expecting woolies to use the 'get out' clause in their
T & C re' pricing errors.
To my absolute amazement, it seem several hundred others (maybe ... ...benefit from the wonder of woolies!
Woolies, obviously fearing a serious amount of negative publicity in the run up to christmas, decided to honour the deal (up to 2 units per customer).
In short, I have a phone worth arounf £100 AND an CD mini system.....all for £29.99 (£34 inc delivery)
Life, it seems, is sometimes very sweet! I am now truely in love with this phone....and you need to bear in mind, the above circumstances when deciding if my ...

Advantages: Easy to use, customisable, value for money Disadvantages: Unstable MMS, bit too small
After five years of being exclusive to Nokia I recently decided to splash out on one of those fancy camera/video/useless-application phones. I didn't think I'd use it much, but it'd be trendy to have, no? I randomly picked this one as it was the least ugly one in the shop and I've been praising the name of randomness ever since. This is easily the sleekest, and fun phone I've ever owned.
Aside from the obligatory phone-calling option you'd hope ... ...is packed with all sorts of useful goodies. There's a camera that takes pictures at a decent resolution. Videos which, unfortunately, aren't of the same quality and the sound quality is pretty awful if there's a lot of noise in the background. Two fun, pretty games; a vertically scrolling shoot-em-up and a short, but sweet platformer. Additional games can be purchased through the WAP service.
The phone is highly customisable; you can take pictures ...

Advantages: big screen, video and stills cam, hi fi ringtones Disadvantages: thick and ugly, teeny buttons
...Gprs and wap on the sagem is good but not great, you get a lot of freezing and waiting to load, and sometimes don't get your page at all. This is usually the result of way too much data being put into the phone. keep it slim and the phone never fails.
The voice recorder is a neat and very helpful feature as is the mute button on the # key. Battery life is moderate, not as good as the equivalant nokias, you can about a weekend out of it.
For me ... ...on the price I'm sure sagem could have made a phone that would have truly dessimated the oppostion, instaed of just scaring them. No other sagem to my knowledge has yet come along this packed full of features for such a low price. If it does come by, I'll be in the queue. ...

Advantages: Large screen, high quality pictures Disadvantages: Heavy/bulky, buttons are close together
If you're looking for a reasonable phone and have a low budget, then this is what you should buy.
The SagemMyX-7 provides you with all of the functions of those oh-so-good expensive phones at a cheaper price. Although it is rather bulky, it lasts a lot longer than newer phones because of it's strength. It has a large, good quality screen, not one of those tiny screens you see on most phones. The only other disadvantage is that the buttons are quite close together, making it hard to type accurately, but you soon get used to it.
It has an easy to use menu with the following features:
- Games
There are two default games that you get free of charge, these are Gulo's Tale (an adventure game) and Siberian Strike (an action game).
- Internet
WAP can be loaded quickly and has a services menu for easy navigation, you can even ...

Advantages: looks, simplicity Disadvantages: not very well equiped
This is a really good phone. The best thing about it is its looks. JUST LOOK AT IT! Even without a camera it is still a popular phone. It is also really cheap. It is really easy to just slip into your pocket as its really slim. The chrome round it makes it look even better. The battery life is great as it doesn't have any features to power! That is a good thing though. It makes it a simple easy to use phone. The only snag though is it isn't really any better technically than the Nokia 3410. It looks better but thats the only difference between the two. Infact the Nokia 3410 is actually better equiped then the Sagemmy 150x because it has a good selection of games and the Sagem doesn't. If I had the choise I would actually go for the Nokia 3410. In saying that not many people would like to go around with a 7 year old phone ...
