Sagem my220X
Available
now 21st November 2007
A slightly more upmarket version of
the Sagem
my150X, the Sagem my220X is a very lightweight
and incredibly inexpensive phone that looks like it
costs a lot more than it actually does.
Let's not beat about the bush - this
is a really cheap phone, coming in at less than £15
(€25) for a prepay handset. What you get for your money
is a very elegant device that's just 10mm thick and
weighs only 65 grams, with easy-to-use menus, a speakerphone,
built-in polyphonic ringtones and a colour screen.
The screen is a simple 128 x 128 pixel
CSTN panel in 65,000 colours. As with the my150X, the
Sagem my220X has funky backlights on the keypad too.
The standard colour is chrome/black, but Sagem also
have a gold version (as pictured) which should be available
in the shops.
Talktime is a reasonable 3 hours with
up to 10 days standby time. Yes, there are phones will
greater battery life, but then at 65 grams this is certainly
one of the lightest devices around, partly down to the
slimline power cell.
We like the my150X a lot - and
the Sagem my220X is basically the same handset
with a conventional colour screen. It certainly looks
like an expensive phone and the sleek design will attract
some admiring glances.. and it's a handset that could
definitely make a good Christmas gift.
The Sagem my220X is available now on
Virgin pay-as-you go from Woolworths and Argos stores
in the UK.
