  • dis is most useless fone in da whole world

  • I have had this phone for about five years, and it has done me proud. I have dropped it numerous times, spilt water on it and trodden on it and it is still working as well as it did on the first day I got it. Howver, it is simple, and for those who are interested in technology and flashiness - I wouldn't go for this phone. The camera is blurry, the videos are short, there is no bluetooth. For a simple phone, this is great, howver, and I would highly recommend it!

  • why do you have to download games before playing on the phone? i think the trial games should be full. because its not every one that can access the net to get the games.

  • The phone is cool and sleeky. I have a problem of adding photos to my contacts in the SIM phonebook. Only contacts on the phone appear whenever I want to add photo to contacts for photo call. I also observe some keys do get stiff occasionally. I cannot also send pictures to other contacts in my phonebook. Can you help me out? Send your reply or help to my E-mail box. Thanks! Prence.

  • This phone is like a nokia 3310

  • how long can the fone record the sound nd also video

  • this phone is cool

  • I love the fact that its got so many options to add to each person's profile, i.e. e-mail and other numbers, etc. I think the sound quality is fair. But I like the fact that I can use the infrared to send songs from my laptop to my phone, as well as pictures and videos. I don't have a problem with my net connection on the phone... the only problem i have is that i cannot send anything other than regular sms messages, which is a bugger. Anyone know to change that?

  • Cant transfer pictures from my SAGEM V-56 to my laptop for others to view further process. The accompanying software has been installed in my computer yet the camer and my laptop refuse to recognize one another and let me have my pictures. Can anyone assist my SAGEM V - 56 to open up to my laptop sine my inra red connection on the -top is well and running. The fone is fine sha but the platic body is fragile and the games are just a bait. useless for entertainment.

  • The fone is very nice of which people envy it whenever it rings. but it would be much more good if the GPRS can connect and i can use it to browse whenever i deem fit. Apart from that the fone is one in a million and am looking forward to an improvement in the next product of the My Vs. Make the game much fun not demos.

  • the phone is the best at present, today being my birthday, it is being offer to me as my birthday gift. it is preferred above all other phones

  • I think its a good phone, very strong, I like the way it has IRDA on it people say the memory is crap but I dont find a problem with it.The video could be a bit longer though.

  • Eventually bought the phone, not as bad as I thought it was. One of the features I like is the clock display when in standby mode, it glows in the dark.

  • Please how many & what game(s) are included in this phone? How good is the sound output?

  • i am ok with d product esp with the price but pls how can i use d browser settigs

  • I am happy enough with the phone, espcially the decent price for it but i cant seem to find some basic features - is it not possible to copy all my numbers from my sim to the phones memory? how about the option of designating which memory is used for storing numbers, SIM or phone? I would like to store all numbers on my SIM normally but it would be nice to back them up onto the phone. Would then like option of just using SIM for phone numbers while the phones memory could be used for storing texts and pictures...etc. Just seems like the phone could be a bit more user friendly and organised, unless someone could tell me how to use these sort of options? no mention in user manual anyway

  • I'm just a new user to sagem n i dont have anything against the fone but i find it a bit difficult to use the browser.pls could u pls let us know if there is anything in particular we have to do in other wards to be able to browse.

  • Well da sagem myv-56 is ok, tho it lacks certain features e.g:the memory is rubbish,it has a silly video recording time, it lacks connection features, even tho its got irDA (infrared)it could have bluetooth + sync for connection to my pc, it should have more multimedia files aswell, like AUDIO:it could have mp3 PICS:the pics are cool VIDEO:it should have for video file types insted of just 3gp,it should ave mp4+mpeg4 coz dere aint much videos for 3gp id rate it 8/10 4 looks 5/10 for features

  • dis fone is very cool compared to my nokia 3310.da sound is very tech and better than dat in nokia6600.but da memory is so small and da video recording is short. cam is ok. in general da fone i nice and tight.

  • I don't overly like it

  • well i find the phone's infra red interesting but i wish there was more memory to save more pictures,anyway the phone is really durable keep it up sagem

  • Very sleek phone indeed, however, i wish it had moe capacity for its video recording than its 30secs. I bought it specifically to record my little sons memorable moments.

  • verry ok.

  • I did not find the data cable in the pack when I bought it. How and where can I get it. I need the cable to connect my v-56 to a PC so that I can enjoy all its benefits. It is only then that I will comment on it.

  • Well I got this phone last december 24, 2005 in the evening where we celebrated christmas. My parent's actually gave it to me as a christmas present, but little they did not know that the phone only works in germany, for the phose is customized by vodafone. Now its been 1 month since I got I the phone and until now it still sits on its case...Now that' the problem when poeple gieve you a surprise gift. Why can't they just ask me about it, I'm better of to choose my own phone, and it's much better if I they bought the phone here, no problem cause it can be open lined. or they could just have asked the store to buy a phone which is already oplenlined.....I'm so dissapointe

  • why is everyone saying that this phone has a crap camera quality? it is wayyyy better than a nokia 3200 camera, which is crap!

  • When i bougth the phone i discover that the phone ringtone is not often fourty as they said in the manual and their was no hands free and extra battery.

  • Actually MYV-56 is a handy,user's friendly phone but the limited memory is my problem.

  • its a cool phone......i like it

  • Sure it's a good phone i also enjoyed it..

  • I bought the Sagem as my Samsung D-500 needed to get repaired due to unforseen accident. The only reason why I got this phone was the fact that it was a cheap camera phone. The phone has its dissapointing factors like a stiff keypad, low memory which in turn slow the phone down in its applications. In my opinion this phone does not even compare to the features of a Nokia phone or the image qaulity of the Samsung D500/600.

  • Dis phone is da best no doubt

  • well dis fone is great i got it 4 xmas coz it was cheap video phone but i werent keen on it myself untill i opened it and tryed it and realised it was a great phone it is wked it looks great and it texts great great job sagem this fone was customised from vodafone thats why it has vodafone live dats gr8 gr8 gr8 gr8 i love dis fone it comes everywhere wit me its like ma little companion like when u need 2 take a photo u got this lovely little phone evry1 in my family has got 1 theres many people dat hate dis fone but i love it its got a gr8 funnywakeuptone on it and i have lots of music on it aswl if any1 knows how 2 get proppa music on it email me the camera is da best cameara phone in da worl betta den da d600 i tink no offence to samsung ofcourseit is da best repeat the sagem myv-56 is da best in da hole wide world it also has tri band it was wkid i love dis phone coz it comez everywhere wit me as i sed and it has benn to where i have been and i can capture ma memories or somthing important whoever dont like dis fone u is a nutta coz it is da best i can talk about it all day wich i could coz its all i talk about well g2g have a nice new year ????????????????????????????????????????????????­??????? i willl wit da best phone in da worlds it is id never let anyone take it i love it g2g bye hillylilly

  • well i bought this fone from argos 4 49 95 and it sed u can recieve music on it ma sis tryed 2 infared me a song and it sed rejected and ma and her infared was on i think cheap 4 a video phone but da wrong details on argos online but all together agr8 fone da best ive had so far sorry this is so long just wanted to get my point across p.s the camera quality is rubbish thankyou for reading this damien jones

  • gsm arena keep up the good work. only the best is good enough for you guys. I bought a v-56 costumised phone (vodafone)and on putin it on is saying "pay T lock" what do I do

  • It is a pity that gsmarena gave a wrong details about this phone earlier, it is painfull i bought it already, but take care of the ringtones too, is not up to 40 polyphonics, i should have opted for my X 5-2v, but did not found the phone details on the gsmarena which is very unusual for the site it is known for it"s leading information on all types of sets, but the wrong information on v-56 is painfull pls watch it for future reoccurence thanks

  • I bought the phone without a USB cable, does it mean it works with all USB cables or do we need more specification on the actual usb cable need? The phone is cute!!!

  • Just bought dis phone 2day.. funny enough d first I've bought without reading abt it first..also its my 1st Sagem..well I hope Sagem could suprise me..

  • its a good phone,no doubt.but i have a problem with the packaging content, there's no usb cable and i wonder why,

  • 1.i discover when i bought the phone myv-56 that the ringtone is not up to 40 as declared on gsmarena and the memory space is not up to 30M, can gsm arena expalin this to me i consider these two features b/4 buying the phone and after buying, i am disappinted with the number of ringtone i met on the phone and the memory was virtually 3M as in myv-55

  • i htink this phone is great compared to the one i had before a sendo s330 that was rubbish i think its ace how u can make ringtones.the only downside is that it looks ugly and big! i would definatly reccomend it :)

  • Where can you get the software and usb to be able to get the photos. The one from Vodaphone does not recognise this particular phone.

  • Could someone tell me if it possible to transfer data(such as pictures and video clips) onto and from a PC with just an Infrared,because I want to decide whether to buy an infrared for my PC or a USB cable,...Infrared is much cheaper :) ???

  • well it could have atleast 256k colours display, so nice design requires this, hey, sagem, remake it to be better one, like x8 or something :)

  • This Gsm is great, video recording: yes But low graphics and low memory but low price :D

  • Could anyone tell me if this phone has video recording? and if the screen is much smaller than the myV-65??? Thanks

  • Ya they said same bout the Sagem MY V-75 no video but it has there short clips

  • hmm ! I am the first ( my opinion )this phone is cool...but (just 3 mb of mem , NO Bluetooth,no FM radio , cool Design ! but low Performance,Features! and please GSMARENA corect the specifications because this phone has only 3MB,not 30MB :) and has + video cam and 3gp player ! soory GSMARENA but you fail whit the specifications !!!!!!!!!!!!!!! be more CORECTLY !!!!!!!!
