Sagem myX-6 review

Monday 15 December 2003, 2:55 PM

Great-value feature-packed phone


The photos are terrific when taken close up in good, natural light, and can be saved at two settings, the largest being a decent sized 640x480. An enormous number of photos can be saved between both the phone and the SIM.

As a Mac user, the only let-down is that there is no support for transfering photos to your hard disk beyond the 40p per photo via email option; this should not be a problem for PC users with an infrared port, however.
Physically, the handset is not particularly attractive and does not feel particulary robust -- it also has very fiddly small buttons. But these shortcomings are more than compensated for by a very tidy OS and a great full-colour screen.

The sound is great when using samples for ringtones, and again, the phone's memory seems very generous for on-board storage of sounds.

The GPRS Wap facility does exactly as it should -- although sadly it seems that there is no support for mobile email.

It is also probably worth mentioning that the supplied games are dire, and there does not seem to be much choice in replacing them. But ultimately these negative issues are of very little consequence in comparison with all the other great features, especially considering that this phone can be bought for roughly half the price of the Sony Ericsson T610.

Nokia E63

Review Although it's missing some features (chiefly HSDPA and GPS), Nokia's E63 is a well-thought-out, ergonomic and affordable smartphone.
