Good Points
Cheap, mechanically solid, speakerphone function.

Bad Points
User interface not very intuitive. Reliability suspect.

General Comments
Performance is okay, quite similar to an old Ericsson PF768 I had. But now, just under a year and still under warranty, it's wonky. It has been treated with TLC and does not justify this behaviour! Anyway, I know of 3 other Sagem phones (don't know exact model numbers but know they that share the same instruction manual) owned by friends and relatives and only 1 survived a year, and then only just. It's dead now, with all the symptoms of battery failure (it's not battery failure). Sample number 2 had the LCD centre section die, and sample number 3 went into speakerphone mode call. Oh yes, and my own phone has some kind of short circuit in the area of the "3" key. Press hard and anything could happen (dies, lights up, beeps continously, refuses to turn off). In other words, everything except dial the digit "3".
