Sagem MYX2
If you want a stylish colour phone, the Sagem myX-2 is a smart choice. Its sleek dark silver casing, large colour screen and simple keypad mean that it looks great and is easy to use.
Customise the phone by choosing polyphonic and hi-fi ring tones or, for visual impact, use wallpapers to express your personality with the myX-2's vivid colour screen.

Sagem MY X411 There was a time when 'cheap and cheerful' mobile phones were something to be ashamed of. Buying a mobile phone handset on a budget used to be a humbling experience – there's nothing quite as degrading as having to pick out a basic model when the more appealing (and expensive) variants sit tantalizingly on the shop shelves, sadly out of financial reach.
Thankfully, the acute embarrassment of having to plump for the 'economy' model is very much a thing of the past. These days even sub-£50 mobiles promise a raft of features that until a few years ago seemed like unattainable luxuries.

the my150X, could be had for as little as £10 and I reckoned it was a great mobile for anyone wanting a small handset for just making calls and a bit of texting.
This latest model, the tri-band my511X is a tad more upmarket, and it'll cost you all of £50 SIM-free from Argos and Woolworths online, both with an Orange PAYG SIM. As I wrote, the Woolworths deal was the better one as this is a price reduction from £70 and includes a 512MB microSD card.
This isn't, then, a real cheapo-cheapo phone and for that price, even on PAYG, you have the right to expect some reasonably good features. I'll come to the features in a bit, but first, let's consider those other all-important factors - look and feel, and usability.
Certainly what you get here is a phone that looks rather good. It is extremely small, light and thin candybar mobile measuring 107mm tall, 46mm wide and 11mm thick, and it weighs a very impressive 81g. These dimensions make it feel very comfortable in the hand and slipping it into a small pocket is no bother. The black and silver colour scheme doesn't break any new ground, but it is nice enough to look at, and the shiny mirror-like front fascia while again nothing new is easy on the eye.
The 65 thousand colour screen is quite small measuring just 1.8 inches diagonally. It isn't the sharpest or clearest I've ever seen, but it does a reasonably good job.
Beneath the screen are four silver shortcut buttons for Call, End and the soft menus. They are very small, but because they are raised they are easy to hit accurately. The navigation button is a simple ring with a separate select button lying in its centre. Like the shortcut buttons these controls are silver and raised from their surroundings.
The navigation button and select button are marked up for music playback control, with the central select button operating the pause/play functions. A side button starts the music player running when you are on the phone's main screen, and a long press begins the playback of whatever track you stopped with last time. It is a pity that this button doesn't function when you're in an application on the phone, as it would be a great way to get to tunes at any time.

French company’s new my721x suggests it’s finally ready to have a pop at the higher end of the phone market.
This isn’t a complete shock. Sagem was responsible for the stunning Porsche Design handset, and the iPod-inspired my-X8 confirmed that it has design hubris to turn heads.
Metal marvel
Sagem has turned to brushed metal to give the my721x some substance and class, and it pays off handsomely. It really is a tightly constructed phone; lightweight and slender, but solid to boot.
Phone spotters will see a design resemblance to Motorola’s SLVR candybar, with that famous etched mechanised keypad getting a run out. It’s pleasure to thumb and it proved highly receptive to speed texting.
Download disaster
But after comfortably completing the design step up with ease, we’re loathed to report that Sagem has failed to serve up a feature set deserving of the my721x’s fine looks. The writing is on the wall from the off when you realise that both 3G and EDGE have been given a wide berth. Yep, you’re left with wheezing GPRS for download duties.
The 3.2megapixel snapper is the next to rankle, kicking autofocus, flash and macro focus into touch and dishing up just anti-shake mode and a smattering of basic effects and exposure settings. It’s not enough to save the my721x from over-exposure with white areas prone to extreme blow-out and, unsurprisingly, its video capture talents aren’t any better.
