Preview: Sagem myX-8By Jørgen Sundgot, Monday 4 April 2005
Sagem's upcoming myX-8 looks better than any handset the company has churned out post-millennium - and doesn't skimp on features, either.

Finally: a Sagem handset that doesn't conjure thoughts of the design team leaving early for the day. It's apparently taken the company a few years to process the information (read: denial), but oh my - what a turnaround. Designed by Ora-Ita, the myX-8 will be one of the very best-looking phones out there when it hits shelves early this year, and for some inexplicable reason it doesn't fall short on features, as is the case with so many other fashion phones.

At 115 x 47 x 21 mm and 125 g, the myX-8 certainly isn't among neither the smallest nor lightest of handsets, but for good reason: a large, 256K colour display with a resolution of 240 x 320 pixels takes up almost half of the front. It's gloriously large, bright and so crisp it's [insert witty slogan here], and offers a menu system that's quite a bit improved over that of previous Sagem handsets.

Not only is the myX-8 a looker, though, as it also includes an integrated 1.3 Megapixel camera with flash and 8x digital zoom capable of both shooting stills and recording video. A tri-band GSM/GPRS 900/1800/1900 MHz handset, it also offers up Bluetooth for short-range connectivity, as well as an MP3 player and true ringtones.

Bereft of an e-mail client, messaging on the myX-8 is a tad limited with only SMS and MMS on the slate, but on the upside it offers Java MIDP 2.0 which should easily allow for the introduction of a 3rd party e-mail client. Also, a miniSD expansion slot allows users to store additional images, video and music outside the 40 MB of internal memory served up by the myX-8.

Unfortunately, Sagem has yet to announce the exact availability date and pricing for the myX-8, however the model is expected to hit shelves in early 2005 - and hopefully won't cost a fortune in order to pay recoup the Ora-Ito-San's design bill.
