THIS PHONE IS FANTASTIC. and being male and all that it's not a word i would usualy use to describe such a thing as a phone. the in-built camera is excellant compared to the nokias and the rest, the games admittadely are a bit poor but who cares! the menus and IrDa are easy to use and are brilliantly set out. this is a very user friendly phone. i had a problem with the mms but i found out that you have to phone up your operating system and they send you a text. i would recomend this phone to absolutely anyone. big thumbs up to sagem...WELL DONE!

Got the x6, after I lost my x5 a while back, as a xmas pressie. Got the missus a Sony T610. Wish I got her a myX6 now. Camera? Beats the Sony Hands down! Screen? Far more vibrant, larger, viewable than the Sony. Games... Dissappointed not Java Compatible, but can't have everything. Wav and Midi files over IRDA sound great as ringtones... Sony? Will only play Midi's as ring tones --==>THIS PHONE ROCKS!<==--

I got this phone for Christmas and thought it was excellent!! The camera is really good compared to some of the nokia ones and u can record songs and use them as a ring tone. The camera has 4x zoom and after u have taken a picture you can add little icons to it and frames. The phone came with 3 downloaded games which r all fine. I would reccomend this phone 2 any 1 and it was a bargain ay £99!!

This phone is absolutely fantastic and I would recommend it to anybody --- except the ignorant people who insist and assume that Nokia are the best --- because they don't deserve this phone. I compared the features on this phone with many of my friends and found they matched or excelled the features of their phones. The built in camera is good, although on the move you have to ensure you do not move the phone in the slightest or you will end up with a line through your picture, or it will go fuzzy. The large backlit screen is a great feature and pictures looks great on it. The SMS and MMS feature is simple to use, and although the built in games aren't great, it costs only £1.50 to download a new game via your phone without expensive call charges. The only problem I can think of with this phone is how it looks. Sure, it's silver and shiny, but the buttons are far too thin and to be honest the handset looks like a hi-tech brick. If you don't care about the looks that much, thi s phone would be a wise investment.

WHY do people overlook this phone and buy something like a Nokia which costs twice as much and is not as good? This phone rules! The big colour screen is clear and vibrant, and has excellent picture quality. I love having the facilities to edit the pictures. Agreat all-rounder, and worth at least twice the amount I paid for it (£99 on Orange). Fantastic!

Brilliant Phone! The camera is above average compared to other phones (compared to the Sony Erricson T610, it kicks its ass!). The colours on the screen are amazing, as well as the on screen animations, which are cool. i THINK you can record moments, but I'm not entirely sure (Just got it for christmas ;)) The games aren't too bad, and if you hook up with Orange you can download a 'Doom Lookalike' and Crash Bandicoot. Trust me, buy this phone! I bought it in the shops on Orange for £150, and it came with a free Hi-Fi! If your looking for stuff for it, go to http://www.mysagem.co.uk

READ THIS REVIEW TO SUMMON YAW ASS UP! Look you are probably reading this because all the other reviews you have read dont quite tip the boat with you about 'trusting sagem', but may i just say that this phone is absolutely outstanding. The picture quality on the phone is fantastic and is in fact better than all other phones on the market, even the Sony erricson P900 which is no way as good quality AND THAT PHONE IS VERY PRICEY! i know this because i have compared my phone to almost every other person with a camera phone at college (and that is alot). People are also quite outstanded when they see the quality... but anyway enough bout the camera now the phone... The phone is by far the best phone i have ever had, some people said the keys were hard to use, trust me they are actually very easy, i dont make any mistakes when texting. The memory on the phone is around 2.6mb... sounds small but the pictures actually save at around 30-40kb (high res) and around 7kb (low Res i.e no loss of picture quality just doesnt look big on a pc screen when transferred!) so in actual fact you could save alot of pictures on the phone and still have space for sounds etc.. Now thats a point! the sounds... You get all the basic c### they usually include on a sagem, but you have the advantage of a sound recorder. The recorder DOES record sounds load enough from a source but there are some techniques to record in good quality. i.e record close to the speaker, but have the volume fairly low, this will result in less distortion. I have recorded 'forget about dre' (dr dre + eminem) and some dizzee rascal stuff and it sounds great. The games are infusio not j ava, but if you are on orange you can get games like 'terminator' 'crash bandicoot' and 'south park' for £1.50 a pop, not bad but you have to pay 50p for each new level you want (ouch!). I think i have covered the main selling points of the phone but also i must point out that it has infra red also, this has come in very handy when wanting to transfer picture to/from your pc the cable costs £15 on dabs or ebuyer (i forget which...) and has done the trick for me when i wanted to get new backgrounds for free just search uk mobile phone forums for help with free stuff!. Well i think i wrapped up it all hear... nothing left to say but buy the phone! go now! im not messin around! Cost: £99 on orange.co.uk

Been a loyal Nokia fan for years, but latter models seem to be a bit on the flashy, teenage riented design, so I wanted to give others a chance. First came the Motorola T720i, average unit until the screen when dead on me (had to turn it off, pull out the battery, put it back on and turn it on again everytime it happened), so traded in for a Sony Ericsson T610, best looking phone ever, small, full of functions...but... the OS is way too slow, the camera is worst than may PC´s Logitech internet camera, the screen is useless in strong daylight and the worst of it, poor reception. I was ready to go back to the bulky, feature-less Nokias when I came across the Sagem X-6, at first thought it was an asian cheapo, but then grab a demo unit, check out the gadgets and I was truly impressed, bought it and been hapily using it for last 3 months, the camera is the best on the mobile market, the OS is clean, fun and fast, the potential is tremendous when connected to a PC (no longer need to pay for extra tone rings, pics or scrs), using my portable pc´s infrared I was able to record my own tones rings using the latest music, I was able to create my own screensavers and wallpapers, the thing is amazing, it supports JPG, GIF, animated GIF, Wav, Midi and a couple more, so you´re set on your way to own a unique profiled phone. The reception is great, I´ve travelled to France, Spain and the Americas and signal was strong and clear everywhere, so my advice to you is to try this phone, you won´t regret it, ever. Oh!, the brand is french by the way, they built phones, adsl modems and defense systems for aircraft, so I guees they´re not technologically challenged ;)

The phone of all phones! It fits me perfect. It has a great display and a really good bild quality. The camera works really good even though it´s a built in camera. The picture quality is perfect. Once loaded into a computer, it´s just as good as the pictures I take with my $500 cam-corder! The design is brilliant, the menu is easy to understand so it just works perfect. Battery is just great. The standby time is outstanding. So, you may wonder, hasn´t this phone given you any trouble? Well, when i first bought it it didn´t have Swedish T9. Well a visit at the local dealer fixed that problem. They installed Swedish T9 for free and gave me a free software update. I really recommend this phone to all of you. Forget about SonyEricsson. Their picture quality is very bad compared with this phone. Sagem MY X-6 is probably the best phone to buy right now. NOW!

Great phone. If you're not interested in playing Java games THIS IS A MUST BUY. Anyway, certain network providers will allow you to download infusio titles instead. Chech out Vodafones Sagem MYV-65 solution which does support java scripting due to the fact that vodafone does not share infusio games. -Best camera pics I've seen on a mobile phone (uses digital zooming too... don't confuse that with optical} -MASSIVE DISPLAY with several lines of texting and magnification -Nice size and weight considering that HUGE display. -Good at making those who don't own one jealous.

I've had the phone a couple of weeks now, and I'm really pleased with it. As a phone it's very usable - good reception, easy to find numbers in the contact list, good volume - the only thing I miss is the one-key dialling I was used to on Nokias. The display is really bright and clear, and it's BIG. Texting is straightforward, apart from the small buttons that everybody complains about - not quite as good as the Nokia 7250, but better than the Sony Ericson T610 or the Samsung V200. Ringtones are a blast - I record music off the PC or the stereo for mine - and it's free! The camera quality is about the best of any current phone, which is to say it's totally useless compared to the cheapest digital camera, but is just the job for that snap in the pub. I find the menus pretty straightforward - a few people have complained about needing to press the green call key to unlock the display - look in Settings, Others, Energy saving, Eco mode and you can alter that. I like it, it stops the phone calling emergency numbers in your pocket. The build quality seems adequate, if not outstanding, and I'm not convinced by the styling, but those are my only gripes. Compared to its most obvious rivals - the T610, the V200 and the 7250i - I think it's got better features and performance - and it's cheaper. What are you waiting for?

slightly impressive is all i'm saying for the moment. good points if ure on orange cause you can download games from infusio which have some decent graphics.trouble is you have to keep paying 50p to download new levels and you dont get that many to start with. text is good with large letters but the animations that you send with messages are too small and very basic like the type you get on an old phone. i'll give the standby time credit even if it did last four days whileist playing games and taking pics(though the phone was turned off at night and sometimes during the day) now the main important aspect of why i brought this phone was for the camera. average quality overall with standard images(ones that are close up in focus)being displayed quite well BUT as soon as i zoom in x2 or x3 the pic starts getting blurry and blocky ESPECIALY when you use the zoom from the editor options the picture looks distorted. plus when it overwrites the changes you've made e.g.(brightness/contrast) the picture's quality decreases.dunno why but it just does! anyone feel the same about the camera? looking at the myx6 it aint a bad phone as it goes but i suppose sagem could have improved the screen resolution and the pixels would have enchanced the picture quality. but who cares its not exactly a kodak so you cantexpect too much camera wise but its ok i guess for a mobile. anyway enjoy it while you can! or if you cant get a gx20!

a few questions: (people can email me on razanelli@aol.com- cheers) 1) it doesnt have a flash. how are pictures in the dark? 2) text messages. how many characters are there? i heard it only allowed 80 instead of the usual 160. 3) text message alerts- does it beep twice like nokia's or beep continously? (may seem like a bit of a dodgy question but if i left my phone at home the battery could be running out in theory- just because someone has sent a text and it continues to beep). i'd really appreciate some answers, as i dont want to buy any phone yet, until after i've got these queries out of the way. thanks. much appreciated.

It's a great phone, but I also experienced some trouble with downloading pictures to my PC with a data cable. Finally I got the right software from www.PlanetSagem.com. It took ages to get my membership (finally I used a French adres from a hobbie shop). Pay attention to the postcode, it can only contain 5 numbers! Once you get your membership go to downloads -> sounds and pictures -> download the software. But now I found out I bought a fake cable. So be sure to buy an official Sagem cable before you get *ss f*cked as wel. Have fun with this great phone.

This is a good phone at a great price. But 2 complaints - the polyphonic ringtones sound cr#p. Where do I find somewhere to download hifi ringtones? Also, the keys are too close together and I find the 4-way directional keypad easy to press downwards but sometimes awkward to press upwards which makes it really difficult when playing games. Does anyone else have this problem? But overall a good phone.

I just can't believe that I paid nothing for this phone on contract. What a bargain as this is one seriously neat mobile. The camera especially is very sharp and screen display large, clear with vibrant colours and contrast. My friend paid over £200 for the SonyE T610 and even he held his head in shame against my Sagem X6. His camera just isn't half as good nor can his phone do half the things the X6 can do. Recording ringtones from music off the TV or radio is a serious plus with the Sagem X6. My phone rings with real music where as the T610 SonyE rings to tacky poly tones. No where near as smart. A great phone but better on the Orange network as they can handle ExEn Infusion games to the X6 (such as Terminator / Crash Bandi). O2 network can only support Java and the X6 doesn't. Just wish I got it on Orange.

This is the best phone I could own. It has all the features I want and need. It may not look like the best phone around but it makes up for it in the features. The colour and the clarity of the phone is fantastic, the design and speed of the menu is excellent, the options have everything! The most important features are SMS which is fast, tells you everything you want about the message sending/receiving and the camera is excellent, people are amazed at the quality and the clarity, when you put it on your pc, it is excellent quality and the zoom feature is very good! The phone has good battery life for saying how much the phone does! To me this phone has only one competitor, the T610 which I found rather expensive, camera was poor and the screen is not visible in daylight. If you're after a feature packed phone that has everything for the non-business minded types and just for personal use then this is for you!

I've had this phone now on Orange, for a couple of months, have to say. awesome phone. £99 on Orange (online) £130 in the Orange shops, but other networks i think it's about £160 ish. First off, the screen is so vibrant, and BIG, it's a joy to look at, and the inbuilt camera (with a lens protector) takes some cracking shots. depending on the lighting conditions of course. the size of the phone is decent enough, about the size of a nokia 3330 or soemthing, and the battery life is pretty good too i have found. Your mates will be well impressed, and often dont believe it's actually so cheap ona PAYG, and not contract, especially when they see the photo's u can take on it. It has a Infra-red port, and i've transferred between other Sagem my-x-6's, Sony erricson's and 1 nokia with success, but many other nokia's, i havent been able to, not sure if it was a prob wit the nokia's in question though (6100's, and some of their other small phones) ringtones. well. i am not so keen on the pnes on the phone. butu can make your own hi-fi ones. .. i miss the old simple ringtones myself.. Gripe's, not many... just that there is no indicator in the text message to say how many characters is left. and soemtimes u can go into a 2nd message (but u dont know till u go to send it), no bluetooth... (cant have EVERYTHING i guess for such a good price!) the red and green buttons to anserr a call are the opposite way round to what they are on a nokia. and at first quite often i found myself rejecting a call by accident! If your looking for a new phone. you cant go too wrong with one of these baby's. i love my sagem my-x6

The only bad things I can find up to yet with this phone are aesthetic things, such as the keys are a tad small and make a cheapo plasticy "click" sound when you press 'em, its a pain in the a$$ to get to the battery/sim.

The Sagem myX-6 phone is the best I have EVER!!!!!!!!! used. The camera is better than a NOKIA 7650, 7250 and 3650. I know this because I have had all three of the phones in the past. Its not poly (what ever) ringtones its Hi-Fi tones. I have just recordered the new Elton John song onto the phone(no data cable needed). Its sounds excellent. Al this from a phone that cost me just £99 on PAYG orange. Buy it from the Orange website and pay £99 and not £129.99 from the shop. It costs £20 to get it unlocked from orange and it took just 24hrs to do. This is a Super cheap phone. One bad point is no Java games but you can download another type of games from the Orange WAP site. Buy It today its great. This is the only phone I have ever written a review about. ENJOY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The MyX-6 is quite the mixed bag. Alongside a camera that's as good as they get at the moment (which still only means decidedly average) with a 640x480 image created off a 300,000 pixel CCD, a great menu setup, a wonderfully sharp and vibrant colour screen, ample memory and support for all the popular image and sound file formats things are not so great when it comes to the overall level of fit and finish. The case is probably pretty robust overall but it just doesn't have that quality look and feel. The buttons are also too small and have slightly cheap "click" action to them. Personally I'd have sooner paid a touch extra for a little more class in the design stakes. The ability record your own ringtones is a welcome addition if you're used to ordering them at £4.50 a pop, and the record and playback quality are both good, if not great. The ability to use your own photos as a wallpaper could also save you a pretty penny if you're someone who gets bored quickly. It's hard to knock the phone when it's available for a mere £99 online or for around £130 on Orange in the shops and though it lacks that touch of class it's a worth a good deal more than £130 no matter how you look at it. A true bargain if ever there was one, let's hope we see a new, classier case design become available at some point. This could very well be the camera that gets cheapo French phone manufacturer Sagem some respect, it deserves to.
