Sagem just pimped one of its cheapest low-end mobile phones with some bling bling. The my220x handset will come in a golden version for a ridiculously small price, making it a real bargain for all those who love cheap metal shine.

Fortunately, the handset producer brings out a rather tasteful version

of the phone out on the market. A low-end mobile phone covered in gold sounds like a rusty old truck covered with blazing flames all over. Still, Sagem my220x is far from all that, as it chooses to use gold finish only on its main navigation button and a subtle gold trim.

The phone targets especially the female audience that might want a fashionable device without having to pay a great amount of money for it. Moreover, its sizes are worthy of envy, as they prove to be among the smallest and weightless on the mobile phone market. Sagem my220x is 10 mm slim and weighs a mere 65 grams that might make it easy to forget about it when carried in the pocket and extremely comfortable in the user's hands.

The few performances are the main reason for the phone's small sizes, as there isn't much to be hidden in its case. The phone brings hands-free, SMS and vibration alert, as basic as it gets. Moreover, it's a dual-band phone and can hold up to 189 minutes of talk-time and 240 hours in standby. That means up to 10 days, a pretty impressive performance, quite possible in reality, as there is not much to do with the handset in order to drain its battery.

Sagem my220x is available in the UK at Argos for the mere price of 12.5 pounds and at Woolworths for 15 pounds. Gold seems to come cheaper when it's not real. It might look just the same, but the low-end handset will most probably give it away as being fake.
