  • 7 years ago i hoped to have this fantastic phone really it was the best now i have i 8910 which i love so much may be after 7 years it would be just like sagem x8 life is really short

  • I bought sagem my x-8 year 2006 and wants to change the casing but cannot see to buy, why?

  • in gujrat(india) required bettaries and other parts of this mobile

  • i have been using this phone is almost 3years this is not browsing please send me the configuration settigs or you tell me the reason why is nbot browsing

  • I have been using this phone for about 3 years now,It was in the specification that it has video but I can only snap picture, no video icon and I can not video why ?.

  • I want to buy this phone. new. I will pay 300 euros for it. I want it !

  • pls send me the manual configuration for browsing..

  • 1. slow interface 2. slow processor .... very many "-"

  • only good features : Very Good Screen & Color display. Good Camera 1.3mp (better of that category)

  • superrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr

  • looks as good phone for it's time

  • Has your handset got a bluetooth. Cos mine hasn't.

  • very good, really.... is true

  • The phone worked pretty well for a short while and started working slower with time. As if that wasn't enough I even accidently took a swim with it (stupid me) and then it totally gave up on my patience! The once pretty solid camera died, the battery went from 4 to 2 days, performance went down a 50%... I had a 3310 that fell in a pond and after drying it it was like new, unlike this sagem. Oh and the conectivity was also on a pretty low level. Not particularly satisfied with it...

  • its an outstanding phone

  • n95 loud,but not beautiful sound...get my video at you tube type Sagem X8

  • it is very very loud ! :D :D N95 is 100% loud...MyX-8 70%loud :D

  • Sorry, but it DOES have Bluetooth. I had it for more than 3 years and I used to exchange lots of files using BT with this phone. You just need to enter the menu, then "Connectivity", "Bluetooth" (maybe the names aren't accurate, I had a french phone)

  • I have been using Sagem MY X-8 for more than 1 year now; the phone does not have bluetooth. I don't know why it is included in the specs.

  • this is very sexy & nice pice but very small problems

  • I am sorry I wannt the nomber it is restorn devolts to the phon ok ? I want it do much

  • I used this phoe four 4years now man and its great non distructable

  • I hav had this phone for long but i cant use the WAP.Pls can one tell me how to configure the phone through mtn. My mail is [email protected]

  • I have for 3 years and he is great but where is place for MEMORY STICK???????

  • I bought myne today , its great , there is a clearance at the dealer , and it-s unde 80 euro with waranty . Now it's connected to the charger , now wee se how much the battery holds. I Boughtet in Romania .

  • Hi , I am from India. Sagem MY X-8 is an outstanding phone...

  • do we have europe model

  • it works fine now...thank you gsmarena team... i love you all...like m. jackson loves his neighbours

  • yes, i had that problem too... it`s the video card internal module....it has to be reset using a hammer and a screwdriver...

  • i cant find my bluetooth how do i get it.send d answer 2 my email [email protected]

  • i took a new batry for my x 8. but the batry is not charging. can any one plz help me out with this problem. the batry am havin is a orginal one.

  • Why don't you improve the shortcomings of My X-8?Which is considered the most classical design by Orito from LV. improving the battery performance,screen display contrast adjustment,keyboard room more wider and comfortable,Camera up to 5 Mega,the type should be produced as X-8-2,then all these would be the carnivals for fans all over the world,not just the dream,when can the Sagem wake up?their products seems uncontinuous,they should learn some from Finland rivals,Nokia,all series continuously,not swinging here and there.But nobody know this arrogant French enterprise would put a little bit down of their high head,listen to the customers and quickly change their products to meet what market want.like Sonyericcsion done.Maybe that never come,I feel disappointment.or desperate with their snail attitude toward market.

  • I like the phone.But ica get the software of the phone.Pls how could I get to dawnload or to buy.Pls reply through my mail.My mail is [email protected] thank you in antipation of your reply.

  • as far as i know, the GSMArena team relies only on SIM or Contract free prices, so the 2 year contract is definitely not an option.

  • 4 The GSMarena team . The price range of this phone is 70-100 Euro , all taxes included. You cand buy yhis phone at 70 Euro incl. VAT with 2 years waranty in Romania, it's the oficial romanian version with Eastern Europe Languages .

  • this X8 is almost perfect phone... infrared,bluetooth,memory card... no need to using any usb cable,u can direct paste all download data to ur memory card with using card reader...

  • I have similar problems as some of the other users. How can i know my X-8 has bluetooth. Most importantly how do i use my USB cord since computers are not accepting it but demanding for an installation CD, can i download music from my pc using the USB. Thanks

  • yes i have same problem. how can i know myx8 has bluetooth and how can i download music from my pc using the USB. Thanks

  • how do i know that myx8 has bluetooth.

  • sagem myx-8 is a wonderful phone, but am having a problem, And i have three questions to ask, (1)please how can i know that i have bluetooth (2)how can i get into internet (3)how can i download ringtones,videos,wallpapera,screensavers and games.i tried on my pc both i can find my country (NIGERIA) help me please.jeany

  • is it simlock free?

  • I had that phone it is very good.

  • no need to install the software,cos if u want to d.load any data just using pc bluetooth or direct card reader,is more easier and faster.

  • jo, how can I download wellphone software so I can transfer data from my pc to my x8 and vice versa?

  • THe phone is nice. But it is not easy to operate when it comes to software download and transfreing things from phone to oc and vice versa. I'm in Nigeria (where I bought the phone for 11,800 naira) adn I've been trying to get wellphone software ever since November 2007 when I just got the phone. Had I known it didn't come with a installation cd,and downloading wellphone sotware was not a piece of cake, I probably would not have bought it, because I specifically wanted a phone I can transfer things to and from linked with my laptop. So far I have not gotten maximum use from it as I thought it would give.

  • what wrong with ur X8 savan?can u tell me?how to mail u?u not attach ur address here.or u mail me at ([email protected])

  • can any one tell me how to reset sagem myx8.post it to my mail id plz.

  • first that video clip u must convert it to mp4 format.and like what i said,u must detail setting cos is not easy.if u directly download to ur card and different format like mpeg or others,it will reject.or the video is to long X8 will be lack.is it ok what my conclusion,i hope u can get it.heee...u can load 4gig card too.

  • Arip X8 wat i mean is can i download like a music video thats like 2megabits and longer(If i have the available memory)?

  • hai troy.i,m confuse with ur question.if u record use ur X8 is 3gp format,u know it right?.but u need to make sure ur memory card(up to 4gig)is available space to paste what u record,cos X8 recording is save to internal phone first,make sure ur internal memory is 20-30mb,goto multimedia,memory.or u mean 320kbps X8 surely cannot,mp4 format u must detail setting.frame rate,video size,bitrate,and bla bla...is hard for me to tell u in this forum,he he..but in tecnical i can do it better for any video.

  • Arip x8 can Sagem phones download video longer dan 320kb?

  • Arip X8, thanks for your answer. But if I understood you correctly, you meant X8 phone. I'm receiving multiple SMS's quite well. It is the problem of recipient, who can't receive my multiple messages. Maybe it's my phone's fault, maybe it's not, dunno... :s BTW, do you know some codes for myX-8? :)

  • i have that problem too,but i just let the phone in full bar network(sometimes when network low ur also can face this problem),or do not always open ur inbox when ur in heavy sms.try it.

  • Hi all, lucky myX-8 users :) I'm using this phone for a half of a year and lately I faced some strange problem. Quite often I�m sending multiple sms (consists of 2 or 3 messages), and recipient receives all of them. But about one or two weeks ago I noticed that when I'm sending such sms recipient receives only first 160 symbols, but all rest text disappears. Have somebody faced such problem? Maybe everything will be ok after hard-reset, but I don�t know the hard-reset code. Thank you in advance. BR, BaguM.

  • Hi, I have this phone about 1 year and half. It has a good design, very good speaker, and camera too. Battery isn't the best, but for so big screen I don't expect anything like that. It's cheap, but it has all what have Nokia and SE. Only what I miss are Javas game, I nowhere find any game or program in Java for this phone. Have a good day and sorry for my broken english.

  • This phone is very great. but does anyone know how to minimize the music player in this phone so we can do somethin else.. tq!!

  • hi good people....i work on the cellular service industry and i got to tell something about this particular piece o equipment... please forget all about any sony ericsson and any nokia and other brands top of the pop, this is by much the best option of his kind over the knowed and expensive brands,,,, i got the chance because my job of trying and test any brand tou can imagine of phones, and this is my particular choice by much. so make yourself and your economy a favor an chk all the option against the other brands on the market an decide for the finest pice of cellular equipment .... saludos desde mexico!!!

  • why this is the sagem mobile phone company doesnt release some products here in the philippines actually im so excited to have some of your mobile phones i hope that you release products here soon..

  • just a general question, is there any truth in the now circulating rumour that SAGEM is to stop the manufacture of mobile phones from january.i hope its not true...

  • does myx8 use the same charger like other sagem models,or is he reffiling the power via charger through usb?pls help

  • goog people help me... I have a question,does myx8 use the same(i dont now the word on english,that thing with you refill the power with) as other sagem models,pls help me....

  • one Q:is it truth that it can take only 300 kontacts in its phonebook?It is not nearly enough.

  • How to use the mini opera for GPRS? I can't log to mini opera cause it show error: 3.0.10:80

  • this phone is a hot cake.nigerians

  • has someone knows, how you can install java aplications?? (without using WAP!)

  • they could sell it in Lithuania, and if they selled it in 9 days I would be the buyer number 1, but now... I have no other choice than go on SE, they are most likely to Sagem... so could it be, my dream to own sagem mobile phone falled and crashed?

  • Yeah i so much love it, but what a bad thing that we can't get it to buy from Nigeria here as we have a lot's of phone over here but wats a bad that i can see myx-8 to buy, i realy need the phone. cheer Emma

  • *:

  • Unfortunately Sagem does no longer sell officialy this mobile.Check this=>my 700x:

  • can someone tell me the price of it now? as it's gettin old, I still want to get this phone, I sinecerely know that this handset is immortal for it's good features and oh so good display, I cant lie to u all, it's my phone of dreams, I must get it or 700x, any of sagem, they are so cool

  • great great handset, if you can get it. i have always loved this phone, but it VERY "long in the tooth" (old) nowerdays please SAGEM WHERE IS THE MY X 9 ???????????????????????

  • Best of Phones. Full functions...

  • Its screen RULEZZ and 1.3 CCD camera sensor really RULEZZ. Quite a big bar but yet it's lookin original

  • I assure it is the best phone camera you can get, due probably to its ccd sensor. It also has flash with anti red eye effect. The screen is also the best you can get. The player is ok, you can make only one playlist, but sound quality very good.

  • i think this set is nice but i would like to ask about the MP3 player can it play back and forward in the same audio file? or just play/pause player? also the camera do it really have a flash or night mode? hope to hear from u soon and thanks so much salam

  • hi all, the my x 8 is a great handset, but very long in the tooth now, does anybody know if a my x 9 is on the horizon , i think 2 years is a long enough product run for any phone even one as good as this one.......cheers.

  • can u please help me to configure my internet settings on the phone,when i approached my service provider (STC-Riyadh,K.S.A)to do so,they were helpless becoz the internet setting configuration of the sagem was not provided to them by the SAGEM company,can anyone of you plz help or at least furnish details of the best contact person ,or mail me the configuration.this mobile is fine for me apart from this present problem .

  • i have been use this phone for 1 year, i like the design very much n it really a charming phone..i love it.

  • i like sagem very much

  • I tried so much kinda phones,but this 1 is the wonderfull joker of my life,and i won't change it until SAGEM compagny will make an other one better than this,i advice u to try the magic phone : SAGEM X-8 just do it,and u'll never mind.go on....

  • well, been using for a year + now. Its the best ! (1)screen picture quality is best in market! (2) sound is Great ! (3)igot 1GB miniSD card with tons of MP3s ! (4) great camera ! and zoom ! and video ! ....... 1 minor thing is that it got some dusk inside the screen ! haha. some might find it irritating but i'm alrite with it. its such a great phone and hope it wont spoil like some of u mentioned after 1 year + of usage.~

  • @peter: - if audio cuts after a short hile playback, u're not using the player. that's the listen option. It cuts after about 30 secs. MP3 on mine plays until the battery goes out... or I stop... And it always starts on the last song u were playing. - The rubber, it's not fitted nicely. Had same problem with mine. Opened the bugger up, cleaned and reattached. Clean as a whistle. Half a year now... @snow You're refering to the symbian OS installer. No. This phone does not have it. No phone without symbian or winmobile does... @David - Standard is white. There's covers on sale on ebay with several colors but all with white faceplates. Haven't found one with the black one... - Yes. It has bluetooth and BT modem function. Get the Wellphone prog from planetsagem or on the CD that comes with the phone - Battery lasts 2 to 3 days. Normal use: 1 and half.

  • Been using this phone for some time. Guess it's bout time I put some objective points instead of nokia fanboys bashing other brands. Phone now bout a year and half. Hasn't broken down yet... I even dropped it on several occasions. Thanks to the partial metal finishing, this is one sturdy mobile. I've got scratches, dents... u name it, it has it... ;) Main points: - Battery lasts a good 2 days. If you play a lot of MP3s/3GPs. 1 day or less... - Charge time is about +/-1hr - A bit on the big n heavy side. Kinda like the early GSMs but not as heavy - Uses MiniSD as add-on memory. Supports up to 1GB (the highest I've tried) - MP3 and AAC as ringtones. REAL MP3s. Not some resampled file like on nokia and moto. Mine are all 128kpbs MP3s. - Has USB support but NO USB port :( - Stereo audio playback on headset. On loudspeaker - not sure. But sounds worlds better than others. Rivaled by new SE walkerphones... - Really BIG screen. 262K colors are looks DAMN nice. Pics here don't do the phone justice. - The 1.3MP camera + the screen = Wow! (I get that everytime. Heh) Plus: - The display. See it to appreciate - The sound quality. Superb - Texting. Speed might be faster than nokias - A LOT of storage space - Has Bluetooth AND IR. (btw, if you're going BT, avoid nokias. Slowest speed among all brands. SE has the best support) - Full motion video record and playback (if u used below 1MP phone cam, u'll know what skippy video is like eg 6600 / 6260) Minus: - Java only download from WAP. No transfer - No stereo out or USB port - MP3 player only has 1 playlist - Need to copy sounds/pics to phone mem before u can use it as wallpaper/ringtone - A bit big and heavy (if u used SE P800/900, u get used to it...) - Battery only 2 days... - Camera not for shaky hands... - Small community support. :(

  • i agree with peter, my phone totally damage (mother board)after 1 year. SAGEM not produce quality phone. it just design but not good in quality. nokia always a head in quality. think and think before u buy sagem.

  • I did buy this in end of december 2005 and i hate it ! The design is ok but thats all, 1.the quality of the internal parts and assemblys is poor. 2.the rubber frame between the display and front does not work properly i have my entire screen full of dust (then i counting like 1-2weeks to get it messy) 3.the headset causes my vioce on the other phone i call to to "echo" or simply to much gain on the mic. (and have anyone else got annoyed on the unflexible cables in the stereoheadset) ive got so mad that i did open my headset and replaced the cables from mic/button unit up to earcaps link to pic: (i recomend this mod but only if youre skilled with electronics) 4.the mp3 player sucks (may help with an firmware update) if i create an playlist often it does not work it starts on track one and instead of going to track two it restarts on track one and 10sec later it shuts down (the mp3player function) 5.firmware why shall i be so hard for sagem to make firmwares that are bug free i had many nokia phones which got no probles like this. 6.my conclusion is dont by this phone it is not worth the money. Peter Hagstr�m Sweden

  • does the phone has an installar and can it accomodate a software program

  • does the MY X8 have a bluetooth modem for internet connection over bluetooth

  • I think its a nice phone and i am thinkning of changing from my SE K500 but i would like to know from any one who has used it 1, if it has got a bluetooth modem from internet connection from PC 2, does it come in Black ? 3, is the battery life for real ?

  • this model is one of the phones i am considering of buying. can anyone tell me if they have any problems with the my x-8 such as: (a) the cursor button getting stuck or spoiled easily or regularly (since the sony ericsson K500 has the same cursor button and gets stuck easily); (b) difficulty in pc synchronisation; (c) hanging and other software problems.

  • Sagem my x-8 is a phone most cherish and admired.i can really come to my senses uptill today because of it superb aspiration.A lot of people needs it,some wants it, and some have it.it is a UNIQUE phone though i've not hold it in my hands yet,but i pray so.The problem is that i can't find it around me.i really wanna buy this phone because its one of the best i can ever think of.i have the money and i want to purchase it as soon as possible.please kindly detail me on how it can be ship to me immediately.Thanks for such a wonderful phone.

  • Hi friends there is a good program Iam too 3GP. which converts avi to mp4, 2gp. try with different options in that program which suites your mobile handheld.

  • Can anybody tell me where I can find a good program to convert AVI movies ot 3GP. I have one but if I convert full movie I cannot watch it to mi X-8. I works only with short films ( I have enought memory)

  • my x 8 is a good phone

  • i would have bought this phone if not for the following: - phonebook of only 300 which is pathetic - it can only store 100 sms despite the huge internal memory and mini sd card slot - font size is huge and cannot be adjusted - it really is heavy i know one can't get everything in a handphone but these shortcomings really bother me unfortunately.

  • my x8 can use 1 gb mini sd. but i only use 512mb. i can record about 40 minits. it is a good n nice hp.

  • it is perfect one, I totaly in love with it, come to dady, :):):):):) best ever, score! and Sagem wins, nobal players x8 beats all phones!

  • Can whoever tell me that how many memory sagem can use and how long sagem can record VDO ? Thanks

  • I don't have it, but it is my phone of the dreams, I know that sagem phones are best ever, and the're better than that Nokia! I had my 3026, it is not best phone but it was good, and it have function as these new era phones it surprised me, I had in hand my v55 and v65, sagem ecrans are best ever, beteter than Samsung, also sagem have a wonderful design, I especialy like original sagem menu it's adorable, what can I say in conclusion, if i had money I definately buy this phone and if I needed to choose between nokia, samsung sony eriksson and Sagem, I would choose Sagem. (if only someone could give me it as a present....... anyway, I will wait, work and die to get this phone( a little bit drastic to say die,but this phone is best ever))

  • Just got a mail from Sagem saying there is a software fix for the problem of poor voice quality when making or receivng calls. I have had several software updates for this phone. Why can't they test it out before they launch it? Anyways, it is finally starting to fulfill its expectations.

  • Hi, does anyone know how to display the "call forward" icon on the screen ? I activated the "call forward" function and it worked when I called from other phone but the screen didn't have any icon showing the call forwarded function.

  • Hello there, I have just purchased the superb Sagem MyX-8 Megapixel Cameraphone from Pixmania (�250). If anyone wants to ask me a question, then I'm more than happy to do so. Please note: I'm not a technical engineer, so if your phone is broken, I can't fix it! Thank you!

  • is thes phone suport sambian software

  • the infrared is compatible with most phone i've tried, with nokia & sony eric. the bluetooth connection speed is very much faster than the k700 (try it with my colleage) transfering of photo snap from a nokia is no problem but nokia's photo cannot be transfer to k700, not sure whats the problem.

  • i think it's beautiful but i need 2 know it's compatibility with other phones using infrared and how long can one video record

  • Oh this phone is great but i am still thinking wheater to buy the my-x8 or the sony ericson s700i.

  • i think the phone is beautiful but i want to know wat isthe difference between x-8 and x6-2 thats all and i want to know when it will be available for sale

  • i think the phone is beautiful but i want to know wat isthe difference between x-8 and x6-2 thats all and i want to know when it will be available for sale

  • BTW Did anybody mention that My X-8 casing is not in some kind of cheap plastic but Aluminium!!! 8 )

  • Alexis; I never go for a Suikei b4 and never intended to cos i don't see any point. The seller will change some inferior parts i.e. the battery etc. Anyway I don't think there's any suikei for Sagem. Honestly, i haven't actually try playing MP3 long enough to test the battery but compare with the battery life of my 1st Sagem phone My X-6, My X-6 battery life is anytime better than My X-8. Don't understand why My X-6 type of battery is not design into My X-8. The battery strength of My X-6 was something like 1280AmH (which obviously is better) compare to 900Amh of My X-8. If you stay in Selangor, (not sure if there's any authorise dealer in other state) you should try to get the phone from PhoneStar instead. I tried to get from lots of other shop but they have to order it for you.

  • if u want my opinion, this phone is UGLY if u r comparing it to the Sam D500 and SE K700i, u r wrong man, it's uncompareable, u see that Sam is more stylish and has better features than SE such as the higher memory (96 MB) while the Se has only 41 MB, it has a gr8 camera and it's Samsung for god's sake

  • hey guys i am interested to buy this phne plz tell me which one is better sagem x8 or samsung d500 or sony k700. and does this phone support videos like avi and other like nokia and nokia software like smart movie plz answer..

  • in our China ,x-8 is oemed by bird

  • Hey.. just want to know if the phone do not support a mini-sd card from take-ms. I have a take-ms 128 mb mini-sd card and it works fine in my computer, but when i put it in the phone it do not work please.. can sombody help?

  • The sagem my x-8 is the best phone for me and i want to buy it in your company if is money iwill pay you ok thanks yours customer

  • the best sagem yet , i have had all the sagem range and always went back to the myx-7 until the myx-8 can along.

  • Please tell me about a cell phone with as high as or better screen resolution, than MYX-8. I mean number of pixels, number of colours and the screen size, all the three parameters should be accounted for.

  • yes there is... even beter

  • Sagem is great. I am using MYX-7 for the last one year, and soon I will buy MYX-8. User of Sagem for now almost 2 years. Never had problems. One question: Is there a phone in the market with a screen resolution as high as MYX-8?

  • Thanks blindspot and nathan for providing answers Blindspot : Suikei? underwater machine? :P was thinking of getting mine some time soon but hopefully from official distributor, i asked recently and the orice qouted was RM1699, with 1 year warranty. problem is, many shop don't have the model anymore (out of stock they say) When you use the phone to listen to MP3s does the battery life drop dramcatically? still thinking still thinking...

  • Well I think I have to clarify some of the questions around: >> 1) Is the phone compatible with Macintosh computer, iMac G5? Definitly YES. It works perfectly well with my G4 iBook and the build in Bluetooh. You can download Sagem "My Pictures And Sounds (MPAS)" for Mac at planetsagem.com. The Wellphone Software Package that mainly brings you Outlook synchro is not available on Mac. But the MyX-8 supports SyncML, so I think you might be able to sync it with your Mac somehow. Never tried it, only used MPAS. >> 2) If yes, could it be synchronized with Mac OS applications, eg. Address Book, iTunes, Messaging etc.? or else is it needs some specific software for synchronizing and data transfer? You can transfer all kinds of video and audio files or pictures, ringtones etc. Never tried synchro on the Mac. >> 3) What's the max. of capacity of the miniSD can support, any crash? 1GB miniSD will be available soon. The phone should support them without probs. It definitly supports 512MB. No crashes yet. >> 4) What's the actual resolution of the 1.3M pixels photo captured, 1024x960++? 1280x960 >> 4) Can the SMS be transferred via bluetooth to Mac computer? Never tried that. Ask me via ICQ if this is still of any interest. I will try it out when asked. >> 5) Actually, may I have a 1 that the list that shown the items which can be transferred from the phone (its memory/miniSD) to the computer via bluetooth / USB cable / miniSD reader device or vice versa. Don't understand that question. Via Bluetooth or cable you only can transfer stuff to the build in memory of the phone. The miniSD Card needs an external card reader. But that's no flaw IMHO because the card reader is way faster than cable or bluetooth. What I don't like about that compared to e.g. Nokia is that you cannot save pictures or videos taken with the build in cam directly to the sd card. But you can copy all media files from the phone to the sd card an vice versa. You will only need the cable to update the firmware. All other data transfer can be done via bluetooth. Btw. no batterie heat problems with my phone. No network problems either, very good signal ratio, way better than my Samsung SGH-E700. Feel free to contact me on ICQ 40171496. Greetz

  • just got myself a my-x8 and i just simply love it! this is my first sagem phone and it's not going to be my last. i am impressed! cool looks and features. only complaint is the weak volume from the audio player when using earphones.

  • Alexis Sorry, forgot to let you know, Got it for RM1888.00 (Sometime after CNY). Come w/ 128MB minisd card and the minisd cardreader with USB cable to PC. My advice is, try to negotiate without the minisd card and get it separately somewhere else. The one came together is not from sagem and no brand (a cheapo)

  • alexis To insert/remove the minisd card, you have to remove the back cover of the phone. Its locate very near to the plug connector at the bottom of the phone. So far I have insert/remove the minisd card without switching off the phone without any problem. Honestly, somtime i have some connection problem when making a call but i think its the service provider's network problem since i'm not the only one have this problem in my working place. As for battery heating up... its not THAT back really...

  • I was wondering where is the mini-SD card slot, i can't see it in most reviews. and the thing about the phone battery heating up, is it only to the phone -no man- bought? or does it happen to all the Sagem My X-8s? really love the looks of the phone, but the battery heating up thing and the part where people can't here you when you call them is worrying. So what's the price of it in Malaysia?

  • Hi .. I want to know some information about this Mobile .. Does it have arabic language? Is it smart or what ? and what about the quality of sound ?

  • i have a question, no one has talk about its operating system. Is this a smartphone??if its not i think its a big disadvantage

  • where can I buy in Seoul,Korea and how mach ?

  • Anyone knows if there is sell of X-8 in Singapore??? Pls help, I want to get a pure white set.

  • don't understand about all the grumbling of buying this phone in malaysia. I bought the cable for my previous My x-6 and its compatible to my x-8 which i'm using now. the camera is great infact the camera in my x-6 is great too. only thing is the LCD for my x-6 is not doing any justice to the picture taken from its camera. When i transfer all the photos taken from my x-6 to my x-8, the quality is the same. My 1st phone was a Nokia but sagem is a better phone in terms of the hardware that are bundle into the phone. It don't 'mix' some obsolete hardware into the phone like other phone maker did. Another important thing is sagem IS NOT make in China. For the price you pay in terms of value in hardware, in country of manufacture, it is definitely a phone value for money. I won't pay RM16xx.xx for a Nokia that is make in China. Not worth the money. I'm please with my x-8 that i'm having for a couple of months now... and I libe in malaysia....

  • Thanks to Nikola D for your great answering!! : ) So, is they any suggestion which meets my all posted requirements, especially compatible with Mac, high Camera resolution, bluetooth-transfer of SMS and any other files, external storage-support etc. ...other than Nokia. I'm looking forward to change a new handphone for a long time, should I wait for the more Megapixels-camera-phone launching throughout year 2005?? Thanks!!

  • Anyone can tell me the comparison between X-8 and Sony S700i ??

  • also one more thing, when I delete some big files from phone memory it becomes awful slowly and finaly block, then you need to restart it and to wait a bit longer than usual to tur on

  • for the oscar I think it is not compatible with MAc, at least I got the cd with software that is not all that things you can do with windows but for mac I don't know maximum capacity of miniSD I think is 512MB maximum resolution is 1280x960 it can be don on win with phone you get users manual with all types of files that can be recieved in phone or sent ( allthat files you can recieve you can send)

  • ya tis phone can't using the bluetoohth to install thing it can only is only using sagem data cable the price dealer is RM119 and custermer is RM195 so in malaysia better dun buy this phone very expensive! n so hard to upgrade much go the phonestar company to upgrade n a place at sungai wang 2 flor mayb got the data cable only phonestar company sell it i survey the whole kl no this cable so bad in malaysia dun buy this phone somemore is expensive the phone i planning to change to 6681 nokia is better!!

  • Here are some questions which relates to the SAGEM myX-8: 1) Is the phone compatible with Macintosh computer, iMac G5? 2) If yes, could it be synchronized with Mac OS applications, eg. Address Book, iTunes, Messaging etc.? or else is it needs some specific software for synchronizing and data transfer? 3) What's the max. of capacity of the miniSD can support, any crash? 4) What's the actual resolution of the 1.3M pixels photo captured, 1024x960++? 4) Can the SMS be transferred via bluetooth to Mac computer? 5) Actually, may I have a knowning that the list that shown the items which can be transferred from the phone (its memory/miniSD) to the computer via bluetooth / USB cable / miniSD reader device or vice versa.

  • Answers all questions for the features of the my x-8. Unfortunately, the phone is unlikely to have video calling, but there is hope yet...:D This phone is a massive step up from the my x7, and buyers will b happy! Release date in the UK is November

  • i agree wat edward say!

  • gary,you are right,i bought tis phone then compare to my friend.is really different,don't buy tis phone

  • The dust problem is all about a forgotten dust cover in the manufacturing of the phone. Contact your local Sagem dependance to get your phone fixed! If you've got questions contact me via ICQ 40171496. Greets

  • i'm so disapointed about x-8 in malaysia, 1. camera bad. 2.easy get dust inside the screen,look like so dirty. 3.miniSD cannot send things to each other,you need copy to phone first. 4.battery easy get hot,in my experience it switch on and switch off itself in whole day

  • Now in malaysia market,myx-8 camera quality are different compare to the early stock here,when u use in dark and bright situation,u'll see the different,such like 30k camera only

  • Reply to madmax.. got my sagem phone from singapore, changi village. with u need more details, write to me.. :)

  • Bought this phone after much thought about it. Have a My x-6 b4 this phone which was a great phone especially the battery's life. Main complain about My-8 is the battery life, the dust under the cover and the respond is slower then My-6. Should have design using the M x-6 battery instead. One question, can you download video ie. MTV to the phone. If it needs to be export, what software to use. Thank you anyone... 8 )

  • The dust gathering under the cover and sticking to the screen and jumping about when you clean it seems to be caused by static, it could be the material of the phone cover rubbing off your clothes (in your pocket)that builds up the charge, one solution would be to buy a whole new wardrobe in cotton, silk and cashmere,what a great excuse. best way to clean it is to get an anti-static cloth for cleaning vinyl records from a DJ store, works a treat.

  • I've been lookin forward for the release of this phone. For now, i'm the happiest person for now. This Phone is just the Boom! I used your My X-7 and it was great! I need this phone in My country Nigeria! Pls help ensure that deliveries are made in our country!

  • hi ! i'am alex from romania. does anybody sell sagem myx_8. i want to buy it, because this mobile is not available in romania. i have a sagem myx 5-2 and it's great, i never had any problems with it. if you can help me please write to me at my e-mail: [email protected] thank you!

  • hi guys, I already posted couple times before and this time there is more to write 1. in my case also some friend complain about poor sound quality during the call, they said that it is difficoult to hear me. Like all sagem before it reset sound volume to his standard level every time you make call, so you need every time to do it again if you don't like how it is. 2. when record sound - sometimes appears strange piping noice which is very frustrating, and what more it is realy frustrating that you can record only 30 sec - I don't see the reason for such stupid solution when you can record vidio until you go out of memory 3. I fill almost all phone memory with video and I noticed that phone started to go crazy sometimes. This also happen when I watch video for a long time. After that I turn off the phone and when I pres red button it just turn the display black and nothing happen for a 2 or 3 minutes (???) , so if this happen to you it hasn't blocked, just wait litlle longer than usual. 4. about dust under glass of display, I opened the phone (with very unusual bolt) and tried to remove dust but it is hard like hell to remove it. dust is just sticked for glass and it is moving from one corner to onother. Somehow I removed almost all dust and I put some paper to block it to not come in again but with no success 5. also one thing - I am often unaviable although there is signal in the phone, and provider logo, does anybody have this problem? 6. good thing for battery is that it can be good when you listen mp3 through headphones. It can last for 5 - 6 hours 7. with wellphone softwere that I got with phone it is very easy to manege phonebook, messages, events and tasks. Datas can be stored in one file and recorded on disc which is good for saving your data from loosing. I created all contacts for phone with this softare (couple phone numbers in one contact, mail, melody, picture) very quickly I must admit that keyboard is better than I though when saw it. It is easy to type message and everuthing , and for look - I got the black one and I think it is beautiful phone does anybody know where to find themes for free ? that's it for now

  • 1. Many of my friends complained about the poor sound quality (difficult to hear me)when I call them. Any improvement suggestion? 2. It looks like the volume setting changes for each call. I normally set the volume to the highest when I make a call but I notice that the volume setting somehow is lowered during my next call. Any suggestion?

  • hey anonyass! I have already described how to use bluetooth for file transfers without sagem's crappy software. Just read post soewhat earlier than yours. It is ABSOLUTELY POSSIBLE and also easy to send mp3, 3gp, wav, midi, jpg both ways. I'm afraid you can only send phone contacts individually (not the whole phone book) and I think you cant send messages via bluetooth. So in this instance you probably have to grab the MPAS software.

  • To check file types: Go My Pictures And Sounds 7.09, then in Mobile phone type (you must have connect your phone) click ? mark :) You see all supported files for your mobile :)

  • Sorry for - anonyass -

  • For - Cendre Alain - And yes you can ! send files without Sagem software :) . And what comes Sagem "crappy" software, I use Sagem My Pictures And Sounds v7.09 whit Bluetooth,and I do not have any problems :) My Bluetooth is MoTech whit BlueSoleil software.

  • -Steven-Is there no Sagem in USA? Also i advise you to buy it, a very nice phone really.

  • in response to holyghost. i don't think you can send files using normal bluetooth file transfer. the only way to do it is using the sagem software made for this purpose. pisses me off that i have to use their crappy software everytime i want to send anything to or from my computer.

  • can some one tell how to get this phone in the US.

  • Has anyone used this phone in Toronto, Canada? How is the reception? Thanks!

  • By far, the best phone I ever had. U must try it to belive!

  • #Nikola D How dit you get the dust of the screen, how did you open it?

  • 1. Does not look classy; it looks CHEAP 2. Unlike many other phones, phonebook 300 entries only; insufficient 3. Keypad too clustered

  • I am interested in the phone but don't you guys think it's abit 'tall'? It might be inconvenience to put it in pockets. How do you guys carry this phone?

  • Hello. Found the answer on how to send data via bluetooth. On the phone start Bluetooth (menu connectivity/ Bluetooth/mode/on&visible), on PC first find your sagem by starting the 'find Bluetooth devices' and when it finds it, right click on it, select pair device and enter whatever number (so-called PIN number). This same number you enter on the phone when it asks you. Now you can send your photos, videos, music and contacts (one by one, as far as I know) with menu command 'options/send by/bluetooth'. The data stores in folder My documents/Bluetooth exachange folder (at least on my win98 PC). Respectively, you can send jpegs, 3gp videos, midi, mp3 simply by right clicking on the file in explorer and choosing Send to/Bluetooth. After selecting the desired device (i.e. sagem), you have to confirm the transfer on the phone. Reminder - the phone doesn't accept just any format, so try to match the recommended standards (does anyone know what they are?).

  • i dont know if it will work but lets try \image{x8}

  • hi can u tell me where ı buy that phone and how much? ı live in turkey

  • Has anyone noticed problems with sound quality when recording a video or recording sound only? There are really annoying noises and murmur heard when you record really soft sounds or when there is no sound in the surroundings. Sounds like some noise in a spy movie when they tap someone's phone line . It's disappoining when you have such a high tech device and discover sound recording is really below expectations. I am also frustrated because dust starts accumulatin under the glass screen. Really annoying cos the picture quality is so superb. Otherwise it's the best thing right now on the market for its price, I think.

  • is this a phone or a remote control ??? now, seriously .. the features are great, but what happened to the design ?? did the team have a nightmare the night before they had the ideea of myx-8 ??? in 2 words - nerd (ugly and smart) :)

  • I have this version of the phone: 251753855 - does anybody know can I upgrade this version with aviable upgrades on planetsagem?

  • I bought this phone 2 weeks ago and here are my impresions: displey - no comment, it is pleasure to watch in it, on sunlight no problems with visibility camera - so clear and lively colours, with flash you can capture in the darkest dark, there are few resolution for capture: 320*240(screen resolution), 640*480, 800*600, 1280*960 one problem here: you mustn't move phone when you are capturing, because picture blur, but you are going to be used on it after while video recording is prety good, it can record until is out of memory, record sounds(but it can be turned off) and the movie size is about 1min - 1Mb aproximately sound quality is the best, mp3 is very loud on main speaker, on headphones it sounds like you are listening music on discman or mp3 player - just wonderful I don't have Mini SD card so I can't tell how it works but soon I will buy one so I will add comment on that I had before my-X6, and battery life disapointed me on X8, with some use of camera, flash, video, mp3 and IR it can work hardly for two days but wheny you think better with that huge screen and all that it must supply, it is not so bad from connectivity I used IR, it works fine - no problems, but don't think about that you can fill MiniSD with mp3 over IR, I transfer some songs over IR into phone memory and one file (about 3.5 MB) was transfering for 10 min :( , and IR is big consumer of battery keyboard is very good I think (in compare with X6), it is ease to type sms, but if you have bigger fingers maybe it will be harder, joystick is good Java isn't very commpatibile, I tried to download some applets but it refused to install, but it supports java 2.0 whatever that means one realy annoying thing: you can adjust how many seconds to last screen light (from 5 to 25 sec), but you can't adjust after how many sec. screen will be off( it turns of after 20 - 25 sec) for example you are doing something and for moment look at TV , after that you want to continue but see that phone is turned of ( on X6 you can choose after how many sec it will be off) you can't turn off the light on screen just on keyboard (also don't like that when I need to save battery) for the end one interesting thing: I noticed some dust after couple day under glass on the screen, and now it is over whole screen, now I must open it, clean screen and tryed to prevent it from incoming again generaly I am very happy with phone, and this defect are minor in compare to adventages , so I hope I cleared you some things about this phone which is great

  • ebay has it.. go search it

  • can u please tell me price of this phone?also tell me how and where to get it.

  • I would like to know whether the x8 and X5 use the same battery? I mean the battery of X5-2 can be used for X8 too, waiting for earliest reply. thanks in advance

  • what is ubs

  • Can you please give me the price of this phone. How it can be shipped to me. Thanks

  • To check your software version: goto menu and hold down * goto application goto version the latest verion should be PH

  • Got the local Sagem center to update my firmware. Took care of a lot of snags. Now I can copy to mini SD as well as play mpeg movies. Phone will still reset the clock if you change the battery though. Still have some problems with the sound quality when making calls. Anyone else have this problem? Maybe it is something wrong with the hardware?

  • Hi Ken.. where you buy the phone from in Singapore? I also like to get this phone, and also got any warranty?

  • the simens SX1 can be updated without the cabel.. you just put the update on the crad and then put the card inside the phone and turn it off.. when you start it next time you have the new update.. that what i read... why can't it be done as the simens.. :(

  • it is nice

  • cool phone :) got in in singapore aroung S$820- nice phone...... but where can i download Games?

  • The product is fantastic i like it very much.

  • Ok, then another question is about MiniSD chip... just got one of 256Mb, but as I put it in the phone, it surely detects it, but where is the point? I can make a folders on it, rename them and then delete. But how can I access this MiniSD or its folders from the PC? Or how can I move something from phones internal memory to MiniSD?

  • Yeh u do need a data cable. It cant be done using bluetooth as bluetooth uses the phones software to work, and the phones software will be erased in the process.

  • The question is about sound... I have uploaded couple of mp3 files to it, but when I play them few of them stops playing after different while... some at the very beginning, other after some 20-30sec. Others on the same hand play good. What could be the reason? Could it be different ways of mp3 compression, bitrates or maybe I need to upgrade phones firmware? Btw, there is one official firmware available on PlanetSagem, but I tried to install it via bluetooth usb and didn't succeed. Why? Do I really need a data cable to upgrade my phone? Please reply me if you know anything about it.

  • Sorry but the only way to install that upgrade is over USB data cabel :( Thats how I understand the instructions

  • Hey Nikola D Thanks for the update. but how do you install it on you phone..? i don't have a cabel only a card reader.

  • I was on planetsagem.com and there is firmware update for MyX8. Things that are fixed are: alowing video and other stuff to copy from phone memory to minisd and some, fixed some software bugs , and something more but I forgot :) It can be downloaded from there and it is about 10 Mb

  • Do any of you know if this phone comes unlocked? I'd like to use it in the US. Thanks.

  • If there is a firmware update that'll be good news. The sound is great as far as I can tell, very loud, very clear. Surprised to hear otherwise. Very sluggish operation though, quite slow to switch functions...

  • in HongKong, it's 535 USD (without sd card) in Thailand, it's 450 USD (with 128mb minisd card)

  • i really think this is one of the best phones i have seen. currently, i am using my x7. when my x8 comes out, i want to be the first to know about it. i am going to get me self one of it. i dont mind sagem giving me one free.......

  • i just want to ask how much does it coast and in which country????

  • the sound is poorer than Philips?? really? i thought my x-8's sound quality is the best in the market if motorola e398+e680 don't exist

  • Had the X8 for about a month now. Just wanted to say a few things about it. I just love the screen and the picture quality. There are however some snags: Sound and voice quality is poorer than my old phone (Philips. When I change battery, I have to reset the clock. Also appointment calendar is reset. WAP hangs a lot - have to take out battery to get phone working again. Think most of the snags are bugs in the software that might be fixed.

  • beautiful phone :)

  • good review. anyway, i heard that sagem is making a firmware which enables the phone to transfer files into the memory card.

  • Hi, I've done a review of this handset at if you're interested.

  • I sagem going to make a new firmware version of the my-x8.... there is a lot of problems with the software... can it be upgrated..? like Siemens SX1... or other smartphones..

  • myx-8 is the best because i ve it before but fortunate it was stolen from me. pls do send me another set. i need it urgent patronized me ok my kingsley osarenotor

  • i own the phone for three weeks now and i really like it, because of the design, the technical features and especially the screen. but there are a few things i am disappointed about and i mention them here with hopes that either anybody has already solved the problems or sagem will notice them... JAVA: i did not manage to install a java-application. tried it with bluetooth, usb-cable and via wap-download. seems to be impossible, but an email-client is very important to me....anybody with more luck?? MP3-Player: Very bad user-interface. plays only the playlist you�ve created with a thousand clicks;). if you click on e.g. the first track in a folder on your sd-card it repeats this track instead of jumping to the next file at the end. any change would be a big improvement. no multitasking... CONNECTION: although this phone looks like a design-copy of a mixture of apple powerbooks and the ipod it does not work well with mac-computers. you can send and recieve images, mp3s and sometimes (?!) vcf-cards via bluetooth, but syncing, ftp-connection etc. seems to be impossible (also with usb-cabel. even with my pc i�m not getting a comfortable connection and i had to use wellphone and imagetransfer with usb-cable.... these are my main concerns. if anybody has anymore problems let�s send a fax to sagem (even the email-form on their website doesn�t work for me ;)))

  • Dear Sagem Company, I really love the way the phone is been design for man look and use. Well u people should try and improve ur product more and more. Byeeeeeee

  • ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ ok short review, construction: the handset is definitely not too big as a lot of people say. it fits my hand perfectly and the keypad, to me is really convenient. the joystick is where the problem is. it's too small and too difficult to use. takes a lot of time to get used to it. Visual and Sound: the screen is perfect, comparable to Sharp's and the sound, too is great. the sound remains in good quality at the highest volume level. As i said before, i've encountered some problem with midi files since it's not as sonorous as it should. but that's not the problem since the mp3 files are fantastic. Video & Audio player: i don't know why but sometimes, when i'm watching the video, the phone switched off and on itself. the good point for the video player is that you can watch it in full screen which i think is really nice. For the audio player, it doesn't work well. u can't multi-task and u can't leave the player for too long, coz it will stop and go back to the main menu. Disappointing... Camera: personally, i think the camera is good enough. pictures get blurry easily if your hand is not stead as a rock. but usually you'll get decent pictures from the phone. flash is really useful~ macro mode for my x-9 would be nice =) Picture editor: in the editor you'll find, zoom,adjustment, emboss, negative, grey scale, add mark (useless), contrast, sharpen, blur, sepia, shape, brightness, solarize and saturation. i don't play a lot with it so can't comment on anything video recorder: you cannot zoom when you are recording which is a pity but the good point is that you can record it until the memory runs out! other cons: -the phone lags a lot. it's really really slow but it's forgivable since the interface is so pretty~ -the phone gets switched on too easily. all you have to do is press (no need to hold) the power button. -your friends will be jealous of you~ i'll give it 8.3/10 ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

  • how much is this phone?

  • although you can't save image and video files to the memory card, is it still easy to transfer those files to the pc?? Also, so it's not good enough while playing midi files but good for playing mp3 files?? moreover, the battery life is short??

  • jus got the phone not long ago... very nice phone.. but i'm having some problems with the batery life.. anyone agree or cos of my batery faulty..?? another thing they should improve is.. image and video capture can be move to mini SD

  • Thanks... that really helped i think that i gonna buy the phone... looks really greate... but i can't find any engilsh reviews.... got any links..? thanks...

  • the sound is great but the sound quality is not good when playing midi files. the other's are fantastic especially mp3 files.

  • How is the sound..? greate, poor..?

  • I really want to get this phone cause obviously attracted by it's nice outlook. But is it possible to upload pictures from phone to PC or from PC to phone? Is the process easy? Cause I wish to customize my own wallpaper. Moreover, does the screen nice enough to compare with Sharp's brand cell phones or no contest? Thanks!

  • i think the phone is out of this wold i dont mind having a copy my self,if u can send me one, my address is, 9,durojaiye street,obeleoniwala,surule,lagos Nigeria.

  • it doesn't have a radio feature. and for the photo blurring thing, you just need to be really still.

  • who knows if my x-8 has the radio function? also, how to prevent the photo taken by this phone from blurring?

  • to LG, yes you are correct. nice phone, highly recommended!

  • this is very user friendly. alot of thought went into the phone and it shows.. keep up the good work .

  • topkop, so the photos/videos u take will b stored n the mobile mem only, but it is possible to upload those taken photos/videos via PC & transfer them to the miniSD., am i correct?..tnx much

  • i bought in thailand 2 weeks ago, around 3500 hkdollars, came with a free 128 miniSD and lots of other free stuffs~ good deal

  • Bought my X8 in Hong Kong on 12/17/04. Good phone. A little bigger than most, but smaller than the blackberry's. Has some quirks you must get used to. Not as user friendly as Sony Ericsson or Nokia interface. Does not allow much customization of features. On board 40MB. Mini-SD slot, however, the phone only uses the 40MB. It does not allow you to save from camera straight to Mini-SD, or at least I have not figured out how. Bluetooth is dependent on SAGEM and WELLPHONE software. Cannot create true serial or ftp connection with computer. Sound and visual quality is outstanding. Battery removal is difficult. Will not accept current JAVA or MOPHUN games. Phone will not save the games. Write to me to ask about it! -osito

  • for the 512 mb thing, i think it can. but all the photos and videos you recorded will be stored in the mobile itself, not the minisd card. bad news...

  • nice phone

  • nice phone

  • tnx topkop, 1 more thng, it can handle 512 miniSD crd right?

  • Sagem MY X-8 vs Nokia 3230

  • to LG, yes, it can play 3pgs

  • I cherish the technological development. it is such nice phone to have keep it up.

  • cn ds fone play 3gps?

  • yeah, as topkop said, da pic become blurry when ur hand is shaking, even it's just a lil bit, it's even worst than my-x6.

  • to sonic land trading, the picture does become blurry when the phone is shaking.

  • it is RM1999 in Malaysia (the price and the pic is in the StarIn.Tech paper)but i think it must be 100 or 200 les then the price the put in the paper

  • what is the price for this model in Malaysia??

  • when the phone is litle bit shaking , the picture capture by sagem my x-6 will become "blur" !will this happen to x-8 too ? my x-8 is the best of the best , i been paying RESPECT to the designer & this company !

  • A little reviewin french ; and some real pics

  • my-x8 is kinda great phone,really! the camera features are good enough compared to any nokia models,it's even better than the very famous s.e s700 in showing images on the screen(320x240pxl). what else to say since it comes with ccd lens camera,1.3 mpxl camera, video recorder,bluetooth(transfer speed is not as fast as s.e or nokia,but alot better than the motorola),mini sd-card slot(with 128mb card originally),plays most of the multimedia files like mpeg4,certain 3gpps,gif,animated-gif,mp3,wav,amr,some more designed by the jap called ora-ito, he designed for adidas & lv if i'm not mistaken...,it's actually the great 1,but the only thing is it's brand image,err...but it seems to be catching up the s.e & nokia in malaysia & singapore,sagem needs more support,a very bright future to the french maker!!

  • simply, so beautifull

  • it's around USD.400 in thailand. very good phone!

  • Hi what'z up 2 you.

  • It is ok but How long will the video record?

  • The myX-8 have the voice recorder

  • gorgeous...(sumpah.. Sagem keren bgt) i am user of my-X6 & i want to upgrade to My-X8

  • great phone!!!

  • Does this phone have EDGE?

  • Sgem is really a company that worths "respect"! good phones,good feauters,good design...AND low prices!

  • The best phone on the market!

  • The phone looks OK. But, where to find it? I think that the people from Sagem must improve the their marketing and sales distribution. I have Sagem my v-65(good phone), and i have trouble to find it. Just Nokia, SonyEricsson, Siemens, Samsung in Serbia. It's hard to find anything else. IT ISN'T FAIR!!!

  • I want to have sagem X-8 but in my country you can't buy it!! This is alful it's the great phone but i don't know How much it coast and how i can buy it HELPPP!!!!! I forget i am from bulgaria smal country is east Europe:)

  • The phone has no voice recorder, better than Mx 7 with the inclusion of bluetooth but would have been completed if it includes a voice recorder

  • yes that tells me alot... cant you give a review of the camera and everything, not ITS A GREAT |FONE

  • it's a great phone,

  • hey can someone write a review , and show some pics of the video recording and camera

  • sagem has release too many in a short time. (at the expense of quality). in MY opinion, none of these new phones are what you can call outstanding, and with the way this market is growing, standard features are becoming less popular. so, if sagem could take their time we wouldn't mind waiting or the suspense if it was worth it. standard is boring, QUALITY is the new STANDARD!!! just an observation from the mystic cobra, va va vrooom!!!!

  • my x8 is available october in China area . can the SAGEM my x8 available early I love my x8 but available october in China area too late!!

  • It will come out in europe before christmas.

  • Believe me, this handset has an AMAZING screen you can not even see a pixel on it !!

  • Good Product i waiting come in thai

  • Excellent phone. It has a 1.3 MP camera. Almost all ways of connectivity (bluetooth, infrared, USB). Also has a memory card slot. Almost the best combination of PIXELS (320*240) and 262k screen colours.
