I had the phone (well I've still got it). The reason I bought the Sagem MC290 phone was because it looks quite good, it was small and not too expensive. I'm getting rid of it in a few days and getting a Trium Mars. The reason is that I've had it repaired a number of times but this time it won't let me send text messages and when I call some body it cuts out sometimes in the middle of a conversation.
I've heard other people with the same phone moan about having to have it repaired as well.
