“My main reason for buying the Sagem MYX-6 was for...”

★★★★★

written by cilla on 11/12/2004

My main reason for buying the Sagem MYX-6 was for work. I use a camera a lot for this. I was very impressed with the quality of the pictures it would take most of all in poor light conditions. The 3 other guys I work with were so impressed too they all brought one. So now the biggest plus of all is we can exchange all sort of info via the infa red. If I have to take on someone else's work they can just send me all the info to my phone IE contact No photo's and appointment times from the organiser. I have been using mobile phone since they were like a concrete brick and this is buy far the best and most useful.

The best fun thing about this phone is the sound recorder enabling you to have some real silly ringtones like 'SHUT THE F*@# UP' which I recorded on to work mates phone which caused him great embarrassment but he got me back by getting the secretary to record 'I LOVE YOU AND I WANT TO HAVE YOUR BABYS' which didn't go down to well with the wife and was sometime till she saw the funny side.

Battery life is very good on full eco mode but if you have it set on full power and have a long delay on the screen light so you can admire your screen savers (of which you can use animated gifs of net uploaded via irda) due to large screen battery life is a lot shorter. Oh ye and due to screen size and brightness it makes a very good torch too.

As for freezing it has done this twice in the first couple of months I owned it but it hasn't done it now for nearly 12 months so maybe as they get older they get better (bit like me LOL).

So to conclude this phone is dead easy to use, lots of fun and so damm useful I would be lost without it and my work mates ditto that.

The Sagem MYX-6 is far from being the best mobile. It has too many things that can be improved and things to be added like for example the Bluetooth, the video player, themes, etc...

Can anybody explain to me how you link a photo to a phone number in the address book? Maybe I'm missing something in the manual.

★★★★★

written by felix04 on 06/08/2004

I love the MYX-6! It's a great camera phone, I love the 4 zoom options. The ability to mess around with the pictures after you have saved them, like tinting it and embrossing it. I have had this phone half a year now and still hardly any problems! There is a slight occasion when it may freeze, and after recovered it will loose alot of battery. The games could do with a bit of spicing up - but my opinion it's the best phone I have had so far! I think it's Sagem all the way. Soon I will be getting the MYX-7.. which has more great features!

I picked the Sagem MYX-6 because it was a nice cheap and good camera phone but when I got it, it had a lot of way better stuff on it that is as good as like a £250 phone.
It's totally one of the best phones ever.

“I bought this Sagem MYX- 6 mobile phone having read...”

★☆☆☆☆

written by free spirit on 09/07/2004

I bought this Sagem MYX- 6 mobile phone having read reviews which were expressing the excellence of it. I guess I was especially drawn to the different camera features it has such as embossing etc.
However I bought the phone thinking it would be good and it really is not at all! Everytime I use it, it breaks and just randomly freezes even when I'm in the middle of a call. Once it has froze the battery life goes down to practically nothing as well which doesn't help when the battery life does not last for very long AT ALL...

So all in all, It's a good phone if you are ok with it breaking and freezing and the battery not even lasting a day!

Sos but I have had a Sagem MYX-6 and I have to admit it did sometimes freeze, but not during calls? the battery life is alright but not the best, but average (you can get around 2 days out of it). But there is a solution to it freezing, it's due to the phone's memory being reasonably high, e.g sounds and screensavers, (which use quite a lot) so if you delete some of these so you have around 700kb left on the phone you shouldn't have any probs. The other thing is caller photos, get rid of them, because sometimes the phone struggles a bit. Other than that, it's an excellent camera phone for the money. Highly recommended.

written by rhi87 on 18/06/2004

At first the Sagem MYX-6 was very good, although the screen often freezes for several minutes and often the battery needs to be taken out in order to stop this. It will not send photo messages and it is very slow when tryin' to type a text. Also due to the on/off button being on the front it is switched on/off very easily which is not very efficient. Disappointing, as it looks an attractive phone.

★★★★★

written by ButtyBoy on 27/05/2004

The Sagem MYX- 6 mobile phone was free with the talk plan that I selected, and having sent back two phones from supposedly better manufacturers, I wasn't holding out too much hope for this model. But even though I've only had the phone a week, I can't believe how I've fallen in love with it. There are one or two aspects which I think could be better of course, but I imagine that once I've got more used to the phone I'll have forgotten all about these.

This Sagem MYX- 6 mobile phone was free with my package and i think it is fine. You need to get a case pronto due to the size of the screen (must be prone to scratches). Had no problems with it yet, just the small buttons but if thats all i've got to moan about then thats not bad!! (and believe me i'm a fussy sod!!)

“Four way scroll makes life very easy when exploring...”

★★★★☆

written by emythecat on 11/04/2004

Four way scroll makes life very easy when exploring this Sagem MYX- 6 mobile phone!
Menus are nicely and very clearly laid out, also adding to the ease in which this phone is presented.
The shortcuts that are added in the phone for the camera and wap page, are brilliant if you dont want to scroll through the menu to find them, but it can be annoying trying to get out of them, if you accidently hit them.

The digital camera is great. The fact that it has a cover, is another unique add-on to this phone and it is a very welcome one, it prevents it from getting dirty or scratched. It is incredibly easy to take a picture, and with the zoom features, you can get them to look just as you want. You can also set a timer ranging from 5-15 seconds, i personally dont see the point to this. The mirror beside the camera lens is very handy for taking a self portrait, although it takes time to get used to. You can change the sound that the camera makes when you take a picture. It is, in my opinion, these little thought out extras, that make this phone what it is. There are five sounds available.

It is very easy to store phone numbers on it, and there is room for plenty of detail including: 3 numbers, e-mail, call group, company, comment and also a photo, just incase youre one of those people that has trouble matching a face to a name :o)
You can also store the numbers on either your sim card or in the phone itself. sim might be better for those you text or phone more often, incase your phone breaks, or you change it.
You can add a personal answer phone message, this feature however is not unique to this phone only. There is also a shortcut to listen to your messages, holding down 1 key.

Sending a text message couldnt be easier, there is the option of predictive text, but you can turn this off. You can add little pictures in as well, but this is only good if you are sending it to a similar phone able to accomodate them. You can zoom in and out on the writing, this is helpful if you cant see small writing, and helpful if you want to fit everything youre writing onto the screen at once, without having to scroll down. When recieving messages you can customise any of the ringtones to alert you.

There are three skins available and many wallpapers, and screensavers. I have still not got the hang of how to get the screensavers on...so that would come as a downside. The wallpapers are very good, and there is a vast range of them...the fact that you can have a photo you have taken and use it is very good indeed. The skins are not really something to write home about, as there are only three, and in my opinion none of them are anything special.
There are fascias available for this phone, and im sure as time goes on, they will be as fancy as the ones for NOKIA.

You can edit all the photos; greyscale, embossment, change the photos into negatives, add marks, add special characters or drawings, add funny and special frames, adjust the sharpness of the phots, blur the photos to give a cool effect.

This is a very good phone, and it would be worth at least strong consideration. Dont brush it off just because it is not a nokia. If there is any queries from anyone reading this review I would be happy to answer them, just bring them to my attention. Thank you for taking the time to read this.

Sagem myX-6 is what I’m using presently, though I’m yet to really understand the phone very well but I believe it’s a good phone for everyone to try. My concern here is no other thing but to find out if it's possible for one to know the fake from the original. I hear there are two types; one is the Europe type while the other is Dubai type. From the information I gathered the Europe type is stronger and better than the Dubai one, so how do one really get to know which is which when trying to buy one for himself in this part of the world called Africa!
<br>Well, I know there are some ways in getting to know the serial no, manufactured date and county etc of some phones. Is this also applicable to Sagem myX-6, and if yes, how do one get that of Sagem myX-6? This is very important so that I could use the information to know which of the product I’m having presently.

I don't really see why this phone wouldn't work in warm climate, but as I live in Northern Ireland, and the weather here does leave a lot to be desired, I would not be totally certain on this point, although it is an excellent phone and I have not had any glitches or complaints as to the standard of capability it has.
<br>
<br>The only thing I can think to save the screen from scratches, as it is very large, would be to put it inside one of those leather pouches with the clear screen cover, although I myself do not find these the most attractive, so you could always just put a tiny bit of plastic, or cling film around the screen to prevent scratches.
<br>
<br>You should really seriously consider getting this phone as it is truly superb and will serve you well.
<br>
<br>Good Luck with your choice. :o)

I first got my Sagem MYX- 6 mobile phone because it was a cheap camera phone but i realised how much you got for your money. it has an amazing amount of features and is very easy to use. i have had problems with orange so i recommend getting vodafones own version of the myx6 which has a different cover and java. There is also the myx7 which can do video which may be worth waiting for

What a mobile phone. The Sagem MYX- 6 mobile phone has to be the bargain of the century. Far better than the nokia 7250i and sharp gx10i as friends have these and compare none at all to this beauty. Camera quality is as good as my digi cam i have which i paid 30 quid for and is fantastic quality. zoom is brilliant captures everythin you want to see. even in bad light the camera adjusts to this! i really wanted a camera phone and for £99.99 this was amazingly good value. has been described as a "budget" phone but my word its no. yes its cheap, but the phone as a whole is amazing. i love the ability to record your own tones. sound on the whole is loud. especially when you have a foghorn battering your ears! also, loudspeaker is very very useful. What an amazing phone

I bought the Sagem MYX- 6 at the same time as my friend bought another phone at hte same price, everthing about my sagem is better although he doesen't want to admit it. Ok his phone supports java but only certain games and there isn't enough space for many! For £100 it couldn't be much better. Recommend to all even people who can afford £300 phones. Buy it you wont be disappointed!

written by ginnyho on 30/01/2004

I am from Hong Kong and have used Sagem myX-6 since July, 2003. In the past half year, I have tried a lot of mobile phones, such as Nokia 6100, 7250, 6600,7650; SonyEricsson T610,Z200, Z600, P900 and some Samsung phones. I really found that myX-6 is the best one. I have heard that myX-7 will have bluetooth and can use MMC/SD card. But I can only find a little information about myX-7 on the net. Hope all of you can provide more information to me and I am addicted in Sagem's phone. Thank!

written by radioman2001ie on 28/01/2004

Well i am a sagem mobile phone engineer. i have read a lot of these problems that people are having and have came to the conclusion that you have overloaded your phone. "overloading" is a term that we use which basicly means that you have asked your phone to do too many things at once eg. (excessively pushing buttons). Also part of the problem is keeping too many messages, ringtones etc. if you delete a lot of your media you will find that your phone works perfectly. If you have anymore queries please e-mail me at.

I have of course, changed settings to 'no vibrate' and put the phone on silent but the phone still vibrates every time message received. I want an entirely silent phone when in meetings etc. Any ideas anyone???

<br>
<br>but not the inbuilt ringtones "Evil_Laugh", "Boat_Horn" etc if anyone knows of software that will do this please let us all know as i think they are 2 of the best ringtones I've heard

Written on: 21/03/2004

On the first question here (downloading pics you take with your phone to your pc), my solution was to buy an Infra-Red receiver which you plug in the USB socket of your pc (comes with CD rom for the software bit). Very easy to use, about £15-29 (in London).
<br>
<br>Second issue with the MyX-6: overloading. Although 'I' am very happy with my phone (been using it since August '03), I've noticed that if there are too many photos, etc. the menu navigation gets slow and the phone even 'freezes' (like Windows does when a pc crashes).
<br>
<br>Two problems I still haven't found a solution for:
<br>- how do I send a sms to several persons (other thand save the txt than sending it to every one of the recipients)?
<br>
<br>- how do I save on my pc my phonebook? (got a 400 names phonebook and would hate to lose all my numbers if the phone gets stolen or lost...)
<br>
<br>Thanks

The comment about overloading the phone is not true. I've changed the phone 4 times. I'm now on my 5th Sagem MYX-6. They were all brand new. I haven't had a chance to overload them. They all had problems. The second one was a real cuckoo. It was full of problems. I've asked Orange to send me my money back but they refuse. They'll only keep replacing the phone until I get one that works properly. Needless to say, by now I absolutely hate this phone.

I do love this Sagem MYX- 6 mobile phone, I only wish I had gone for Orange instead of VodaPhoney. I was promised downloadable games, but it was a lie. Voda told me I would have to buy a different model. Thanks a bunch. Still all the other functions on the phone are great.

I sent my first Sagem MYX- 6 back because the zoom on mobile phone mode packed up after about ten photos. They sent a replacement but I sent it back because two of the buttons didn't work. The third one arrived and once again the zoom wasn't working correctly. I honestly think this phone is a bummer.

written by Random on 18/01/2004

Shortly after christmas i had a fair bit of money so i decided to get a new phone, i started comparing prices with the help of kelkoo.co.uk and found that for £107 i could get what looked to be a very good quality mobile with a camera. My Sagem MYX- 6 took a fair bit of getting used to as previously i had a nokia 3310 which is completly different. the camera is a very good quality one with a 4 stage zoom and an ability to lighten up darker picture, my friend recently got a sharp gx10i which is worth £300 but in comparison the camera on the sagem is much better quality with more options and better quality. just reasently ive had some problems with it freezing, it tends to do it when im going through my messages and deleting them, also a couple of times it has restarted itself but im guessing that this is just a common problem with these types of mobiles as my friends sharp gx10i has exactly the same problem but without the restarting. i got the phone on pay as you go with orange and it seems that when im texting people it takes up to 30 mins for them to receive the message, i dont know if this is a problem with the orange network or the network of my friends. thbuttons are a bit small but are easy to txt with. overall this mobile is very good quality considering its price and im very plaesed with it and would thorly reccomend it to any one with a relativly low budget.
