14 DAY TRIAL // Most mobile phone manufacturers began releasing more low-end mobile phones than ever lately, attempting to conquer emerging markets worldwide where there is need for more affordable and basic phones.
Sagem hasn't really changed everything, because even though they are now presenting four new phones, they have always released mostly low-end handsets. The main advantage of these four new phones, the my501x, my215x, my401c and my202c, is their low price.
Sagem's my202c is a small and stylish clamshell that comes in red and black or pink and black. It is currently available from Orange and T-Mobile and costs as little as ?30.
The my501x comes with an MP3 player, MiniSD card slot for memory expansion, a 1.3 megapixel camera and a 262k color screen with a 176 x 220 resolution. It's light, easy to use and also very affordable.
For users who are looking for a mobile phone that can make and receive calls combined with an MP3 player and with a low price tag, the Sagem my215x would be a pretty good choice.
It also comes equipped with 256MB internal memory, which is pretty impressive for an entry level mobile phone. Last but not least, the my401c comes with a clamshell form factor, a VGA camera and a 65k screen with a 128 x 160 pixel resolution.
Even though Sagem is probably capable of producing more advanced mobile phones, the manufacturer seems to be extremely happy with offering low end phones for less pretentious users and is also doing a pretty good job too, showing the world that a low end mobile phone doesn't necessarily force the user to give up certain features.
