Medion Smartphone!

[Guest nedge2k]

I went for a little shopping trip in Cardiff today and what did I happen to spot in the Penarth Rd. branch of Halfords?

The new Smartphone from Medion!

It looked as though it was being bundled with some Sat Nav software and was priced at around the £450 mark.

Nice find ;)

Did a search and found it for £399.99 at Halfords online

Possibly the £450.00 at Halfords stores includes fitting which is being charged at separately at £39.99 ?

Not a bad price for a phone and navigation software.

Included in the box: The Medion Smartphone comes with a windscreen mounting bracket, external GPS receiver and a 12 volt DC power adaptor that connects to the vehicle's cigarette lighter socket. Other accessories include mains power pack for in-doors, USB cable and back up navigation software.

A Phone without Bluetooth is not a real phone... that's my opinion...

But the phone looks nice

Hi,

this phone is rather old - the german supermarket "real" sold it last December as you can see here.

It´s the Sagem MyS-7 with Medion label. Bought one of the Navi pack this January, but only to get the Navi software (Medion Navigator 1.0, the same like Navigon Navigator) and sell the rest of it at Ebay.

In my opinion the phone has a very poor quality, it´s to big (like a good old Nokia 3210) and not up to date.

Greetings, Peter

tbh its not much bigger than the c500, and i think it has a better feel to it...

a real joystick does it for me!

Totally agreed ;)

[Guest agent.m]

Would go nicely with my Medion 17" lcd monitor ;) 8 way joystick= Real phone imho ;)

Gets my vote for gaming ;) but BT is the real killer for me, just wait for the new model to be released as that should be having BT ;)

I just can not believe Halfords slipped this out without much advertising.

As has been mentioned this is the Mitac manufactured Sagem My S-7.

450 pounds? THATS KRAZY!!!!!! Thats like 1100 canadian!!!!!!

The phone itself is about £260 (sim free) which means your paying about £140 for teh GPS S/ware and h/ware +about £50 for fitting (see previous post)

How much is a SIM free phone in Canada?
