★★☆☆☆

written by jacquielipton on 24/09/2008

I have purchased two MY X6-2 mobile telephones and the first one would not charge properly and the second the key 7-pqrs and 8tuv plus the space bar do not work. I have no address therefore I am unable to return them to Sagem. I purchased these without insurance through Utility Warehouse. I have now bought another phone. I do therefore not recommend the Sagem MYX-5 as I have not bought another mobile phone.

“The Sagem MY X-5 mobile phone has been a very reliable...”

★★★★☆

written by djc on 29/06/2004

The Sagem MY X-5 mobile phone has been a very reliable and easy to use handset for the year and a half that I have had it. It also comes in at a good price if you hunt around for the right deal.

It has a number of features, including a very good and easy to use WAP browser, a superb menu layout (beating Nokia, once you have got used to it), vibrate alert, caluculator, currency converter, automatic network selection for when you go abroad (so you do not have to manually fiddle with the settings) and, for a small phone with an internal aerial, excellent reception.

As with all mobiles, there are certain things that could be improved. For example, the phone does have a habit of turning itself on after you have switched it off. This is because the keypad locking will only function when the phone is on, and the "on" switch is very sensitive, which means it can very easily switch itself back on in your pocket or bag. Not so good, for example on an aeroplane, where it can turn on without your knowledge, unless you remove the battery. Also, if the battery goes flat, you will have to reset the time and date every time, which becomes cumbersome.

Another point, worth bearing in mind, is if you like swapping ring tones and the like via the infra-red facility, it is unlikely you will find a compatible phone and that can become annoying because it restricts its capabilities. Also, not a good phone if you are into gaming.

General reliabilty is good and it certainly does not have as many gremlins as some of the Nokias, although it can sometimes become slow at accessing the phonebook or text messages for no apparent reason (even if the memory is relatively empty). This, fortunately, is an infrequent occurence.

For what I have needed the phone for, i.e. making/receiving calls, GPRS, alarm clock (NB the alarm clock will still sound even if the phone is on silent, so you don't have to switch the phone off overnight) and calculator, the phone has been spot on.

I will now change it, as I am looking for something with more GPRS/Internet capability, however as a reliable budget colour phone, this is one of a kind.

How to do this will depend - are you on contract or pay as you go? What network is the phone registered to?

You do not see many people with this Sagem MY X-5 mobile phone but I think that it is one in a million and everyone should experience it.

“I have had my Sagem MY X-5 since March now and think...”

★★★★☆

written by chaperz on 13/12/2003

I have had my Sagem MY X-5 since March now and think it is a very good little mobile phone. It has some good ringtones and games. The good thing about is that there are many websites that you can download free polyphonic ringtones, wallpapers and screensavers for. But you do need to get a data link cable first which are about £20 from www.sagem.com. I was happy with my phone, but got bored with the wallpapers and ringtones, so I purchased a cable and made my own website for all other sagem users. All wallpapers, screensavers and ringtones on it are ready to download onto your phone for free! The screensavers are the best! It is www.sagemplanet.tk. Another good site is www.mysagem.co.uk but that is mainly for ringtones. Overall it is a nice phone and cheap!

★★★☆☆

written by gerrymac75 on 08/12/2003

The Sagem MY X-5 is a cool looking mobile phone but i cant find any changeable covers.
This phone is ok. I still would say that nokia is better by far. As everything is set up for nokia and based on the web. Over all the fone is allrite but could be doing with a little extra features. Such as in the text messages you should be able to see when you exceed the 1 message limit instead of having to guess.
Ringtones should be more accessable like nokia.
I find its great on wap and really easy to get wallpapers for it.

“It's really easy to use and the speaker phone facility...”

★★★★★

written by bunniesandcrows on 18/11/2003

It's really easy to use and the speaker phone facility you get by pressing the call key twice is incredibly handy. It's small, light, lasts ages and has 40 polyphonic ringtones. You can vary the volumes easily mid call to suit you and there's lots of space to store texts (100 I think, compared to Nokia's 15). The WAP is a bit scary, but generally easy to use.

It's very easy to dial by accident (I recently did while the phone was in my bag and it cost me £2!). It does have a lock facility to counter this but it's fiddly. The T9 function has to be turned off every time you text if you don't want to use it. There's also no way of knowing if it's run into 2 texts such as what there is with Nokia.

There's a lack of good wallpapers and they're very hard to download. I also thought this was a camera phone until I bought it so don't make that mistake! Could do with being a bit cheaper too.

I'd say buy it though, if you have the money. I've been very pleased with it and it's durable (withstands dropping!).

“I got this Sagem MY X-5 phone purely after looking at...”

★☆☆☆☆

written by bedds on 27/10/2003

I got this Sagem MY X-5 phone purely after looking at the features. With hindsight, I wouldn't of, it is very unreliable in terms of battery life, I have had several batteries, and two replacement phones. Nothing makes a difference and I have resigned myself to having to charge it every evening (I'm in a low signal area, so that may have something to do with it)

Despite having the phone a year, I haven't found any of the interchangeable covers I've heard about, the data cable I got was the only thing I found.. The problem is, no software seems to connect to the phone ARRRGGGHHH!!!!

I'm getting shot of this phone this week, and it can't come to soon!!!

★☆☆☆☆

written by spike on 19/09/2003

I cant belive how many people say the Sagem MY X-5 phone is good, as it isn't. You cant find any thing for it and even if you do if you are with virgin you can't get them anyway, you have to call up because the whole virgin network is messed up(it wont let you text for ringtones or anything) you can't download polyphonic ringtones I would recommend a nokia because that is what everything is made for

“The phone has a nice layout and after a little playing...”

★★★★☆

written by desy6969 on 29/08/2003

The phone has a nice layout and after a little playing around you can breeze through the functions.The sound quality is very good the ear piece sounds crisp and clear.It has changeable covers so if you fancy dressing it up let yourself go. Now to the little flaws..It's rather slow to charge from empty about 2-3 hours so loads of time to cut the lawn...also when you turn the phone on the battery meter is a little slow to give you a true reading..but it gets there after about 3 or 4 mins.It's one of them phones that will get played with by idle fingers so if it had a phone lock (not key pad lock) that you could put on when the phone is idle would be nice. The only phones i have found you can do this on is panasonics'and i'm telling you it's cool "how may times has some little rat changed your ring tone or some loved feature on your phone when your feeding fluff the cat"?.Trying to get new ring tones looks like it has to be done by a special pc to phone cable..for best results available from club sagem. All that said it still makes chart position number 8 in my top ten & i'm a hard man to please when it comes to my mobile friend.

★★★☆☆

written by bluemac. on 10/06/2003

This is my first Sagem & I have had this phone for a few months now, & while it looks the part , it is seriously let down by the poor quality of the case & keys, making this phone feel like a second rate Nokia clone.

The features & ease of use are easily on par with, if not better, than many other phones in this price bracket, but the cheap feel of this phone could dissuade potential buyers.

Overall, if you can put up with the "cheapness" of the MY-X5, then it is a good phone & very easy to suss out if, like me, you can't be bothered to trawl through the manual.

“Well what can I say, Sagem have really knocked the...”

★★★★★

written by Ricky P. on 08/06/2003

Well what can I say, Sagem have really knocked the spots off Nokia with this little stunner! For starters I wanted a phone that looks good, and this one sure lives up to that, I've got a matt black clip on cover on it and it looks just suave! One little niggle I have with the phone is that when you have over a hundred texts stored it tends to slow down a little, but nothing major. Other than that it's got everything you could ask for from a phone, including heaps of wallpapers to save you downloading operator logos. I've downloaded some naughty wallpapers from the WAP which is nice :)

If you want a change from the dull Nokia this is the phone for you, it's hard to get bored of!

well what can i say, well the sagem my-x5 is not even close to a nokia.
<br>i had one for about a week and i was going to give it to charity but the phone was that crud i didn't bother.
<br>as for loads of features what features the phone is pants.
<br>it takes about a week to come on and the software is so slow you just chuck it at the wall.
<br>the only thing good about this phone is the screen(which is really naff) and some of the ringtones.
<br>plus you nearly break your fingers trying to get the back cover off.
<br>i just cant belive that you said this phone is better than a nokia.
<br>the phones below are the ones i've owned.

<br>nokia 402
<br>nokia 3310
<br>nokia 8210

scragger's what does tosh mean then, dont you mean toss?????????? as for my spelling you have only slated that because you cant find anything good to say about the sagem my x5. the point im making is that how can the sagem knock the spots off nokia phones, when there was never any mention of nokia phone models.
<br>hahaha a bit thick mmmmmmmmmmmm????????????
<br>so you have defended a review which makes you as bad.
<br>sagem will never be as good as nokia, thats a fact(search the forums to see what people really think.
<br>also you give me your phone specs, and ill give you mine

I think it has such a cute appearance BUT never judge a book by its cover as my granny always says! Its rubbish! If its sunny i cant do anything with it coz i cant see the screens its too dark. The screen savers are stupid! Why do the only appear every minute?? And when they do appear is either a flash of a different pic or some stupid plane flying, a doggy thing finding a mobile behind a rock(??) or a man riding a whale!!

All in all this phone for the price is very good. Small stylish and most applications are user friendly. I had to get my phone unlocked to use this phone on o2, as the reception for t-mobile was very poor. Not all network providers will except this phone on there networks, think this due to the phone not being so popular
