General Comments
Essentially, the Sagem MYV-56 is a very poor mobile phone! The most annoying feature is the buttons. It is very easy to press the wrong one, and they made a noise even on silent mode.
The vibrate alert managed to be both loud but difficult to feel, while overall the phone was far from sturdy.
Dust and grime built up very easily behind the screen cover, despite constant attempts to clean it off. The phone sometimes switched itself off, and the battery life was far from impressive. The screen is difficult to read in sunlight, even after adjusting the contrast.
On the positive side, the menus are reasonably intuitive, and the feature where you can send the same text message to multiple recipients was a pleasant surprise.
All in all however, I wouldn't recommend this phone.
