EXCLUSIVE to MoDaCo, more details have surfaced about the forthcoming Sagem Smartphone.

The much rumoured Smartphone is likely to be announced in March - At CEBIT - with phones shipping to operators as early as May.

The phone, a Candy Bar device, is set to be the smallest Smartphone currently available.

A member idenfiying himself as 'The Insider' has posted the following teaser (note, watermarking not added by us)...



Further details coming soon!

Looks like another phone to add to my wish list

I hope/bet it'll be cheaper than a Moto :-)

sagem normally are cheaper but also on a few models of normal phones look cheap their logo normally destroys a look of a phone i hope the dont on this one :wink:  :wink:  :wink:

the recent sagem's are stunning phones, especially the MY X-6

the good thing is, Sagem also like their entertainment phones, so hopefully this will be sold as an entertainment phone rather than a pure busniess phone (the text on the image above puts entertainment before 'professional')

also, looking at the above image's screen size (and presuming its the same physical size as other smartphone screens), the phone looks smaller than the e100/e200 and the mpx100

now, what about an image that isnt watermarked

Be interesting to see if msmobiles manages to remove the www.modaco.com watermarking and replace it with his own on this image!  ;-)

As far as I remember, Sagem was one of the first cell-phone manufacturers to launch a GPRS phone. A couple of years ago they launched a clamshell style phone having a 5 watt radio-module...

I skipped the phone ´cause my head got dizzy when being on the phone for more than 10minutes..

But I worked perfectly on the Orange (mobilix at that time) network in DK

So Sagem is normally in touch with new splutions, so I´m looking very much forward to this product.

Personally, I don't expect any huge technology advances in this phone, I hope that Sagem will be pushing the envelope when it comes to Cost, Form Factor and Build.

I imagine a cheap, compact cross network Smartphone will quite revolutionise Smartphone uptake rate...

cant agree more, and as i said, sell it as an entertainment device, not a professional device will get many more sales aswell, then it can truly be called a mass market device.

Hopefully those SB letters you can see are the end of USB, and it has a MPx200 style port.

What you can see of the phone looks pretty decent.

Finally, I very much hope it doesn't have asilly name. Personally, a phone called MY X-6 doesn't do it for me.

My problems with Sagem's phones are:
1. They have stupid names MY-Xblah blah
2. They have silly designs, or designs that are spoilt by something that just doesn't fit, and looks cheap
3. The software is rubbish.

In the case of this, number 3 obviously isn't an issue. Number 2 doesn't look like it is, from what we've seen so far.

Number 1, I can just about live with, if everything else is good.

@ encece

Real phone is more beautiful in fact. The device is targeted for all customers, not only corporate users. This is a very important point because Microsoft needs such a popular device to capture the masses. The sale price will be slightly smaller than competitors.

I'd be willing to bet my life that the phone is better looking than I drew. I was just copying and pasting from the areas that were visible. Thanks for the scoop and dont forget to post more when you can!
