Sagem MYG-5 Review

Overall Rating

Packed with features.
Polyphonic ringtones, colour screen, you can download games.

Ugly phone looks like a toy.

I like my phone to look stylish.
That is why I am taking it back and getting an Ericsson T200. It may have less features but it looks a lot better.
You see the Sagem myg-5 has everything going for it expect it looks like a gameboy. A real shame.

  Lol. it's supposed to look like that m8. It looks like a mini gameboy/phone because that's exactly what it was built for. Make no mistake, this is a VERY VERY special handset. This phone was specifically built for making playing mobile games much better fun, easier to play, which means you will enjoy the games more. But if you're not into gaming then maybe that's why you won't like the design. It's a truly excellent phone in my opinion. I really like the look of it personally, it's completely feature packed, and is so small and light, it fits in your hand so neatly. Very reminiscent of a nokia 8310's size, the SAGEM MYG5 has a very solid feel to it. Fits into shirt pockets nicely too. The "real music" WAV ringtones that you can create or download free from the net sound unbelievably good. A superb handset in every department in my opinion. If you're into playing games on your phone, this phone will be like a dream come true for you. You simply will not be disappointed. From the moment you hit the power switch and the Mission 3D Game Demo starts rolling, you just know immediately that this ain't your average mobile phone. This phone definitely deserves top marks. I can't even stress enough just how good this phone is. 9/10 easily.

  just to show you what I mean, check out some real pics of the handset. http://www.threegmobile.net/itutelecomasia2002/index13.html just goes to show that beauty is in the eye of the beholder really. In my opinion, the MYG5 is easily one of the most stylish looking handsets on the market right now. 10/10 for style inmy opinion. Just look at it next to the sony ericsson T300 for example! LOL. It's a non-contest really. for me, the MYG5 wins on looks every single time. the sheer compactness and light weight of the phone makes it a joy to own. It is alos easily the best device ever made for playing games, and some of the entertainment and personalization features are simply extraordinary. The silver casing (which is exchangeable, front and back) has a hint of sky blue on it so that depending on which way the light reflects on it, it gives off a silvery/sky blueish look. It really is a magnificent effect. A wonderful phone that deserves full praise in my opinion. The MYG5 is one of the best mid-market phones I have seen in a long while, and is an excellent alternative from the usual nokia, ericsson or motorola phones. E£verything about the phone simply screams Quality.
