Sagem My X-7

This very model was originally planned to be released under another name, however the changes in Sagem’s plans made an affect on this phone, and so it was released under its very own name. There aren’t many differences from the predecessor, Sagem X6, in X7. It has practically the same size, and design. The new things are: Java and video recording support, as well as the new keyboard. The memory of the device was extended, accordingly to the new requirements, so from now on it is 4.3 Mb of memory for the user to operate with. Basically the review of Sagem X7 could have been ended right at this point, and the readers should have been redirected to the review of Sagem myX-6. But considering the fact, that Sagem’s models aren’t well-known on the market we shall tell you about the new ?7 in details..

This phone’s destiny can be compared with such devices as Alcatel 735i/735, Sony Ericsson T610, T630. In these cases the changes weren’t significant, but the companies decided to release them with new names, or indexes. An interesting fact is that Sagem X7 supersedes in the ?6, and that looks logical.

This model supports exchangeable covers; however they are very rare in Europe and almost unique in Russia. I don’t want to offend Sagem’s designers, but I had an impression, that they are able to work only with a ruler, since the phone’s shape is too blocky and firm. The size is almost the same as X6 had (110x46x22 mm, and the weight is 106 grams), case itself is rather large and thick. Sagem myX7 fits nicely into ones palm, however if you got used to use small handsets, you will find this one rather big. The phone’s weight, 106 grams, isn’t small at all; instead it feels rather noticeably and heavy.

It is interesting to know, that the mainframe isn’t so big, and by refusing the idea of exchangeable covers it was possible to reduce the phone’s size significantly. I am not sure why this hasn’t been made.

X6 was extremely popular in Europe, because the network operators were selling it with contract for 1 Euro. According to the fact, that myX-6 featured almost all modern features and had an attractive price it was a good choice. Mainly because of myX-6’s good sales, the company’s overall sales have increased. The only big shortcoming was the keyboard, it was inconvenient to say the least. The next modifications of X6 received special attention drawn to the keyboard’s ergonomics from the Sagem’s engineers. The absence of convenient keys looked especially strange, since there was a lot of place for them on the case. When you are looking at the new model your eyes will notice, that the arrangement of the “Call” and “End Call” buttons was switched. This was made since a lot of operators complained that the unusual keys placement lead the users into making mistakes.

During the development of myX-7 the designers tried to focus on the keyboard’s beauty, instead of ergonomics. The keyboard is very stylish, especially when the white illumination is turned on. The first unpleasant moment is that not all keys are illuminated equally. The font is very thin and sometimes it isn’t possible to see the letters. The second problem is that the soft keys are tiny, and you’re forced to use them quite often. We had found discrepancy while carrying out a parallel between man's hands and small keys. The keyboard is strongly drowned into the case, and the keys have a small course. On the whole there we’ve got an impression, that the keyboard is better than on ?6, but is weaker than the ones used in most of modern mobiles. Let's just hope, that this problem will be somehow resolved by the time when the mass shipments begin.
