I needed a new phone for work, and was looking for something lightweight with a good battery life, for under £100 on a prepaid system.

Ended up with a choice of two, one not in stock, so bought a Sagem MYV-65.

Built in camera with digital zoom, total of 4Mb memory, easy to use PC software for address book, diary etc, easy to download sounds and wallpaper, and down/up load photos, all over the IR link. Really easy to navigate the menus to.

Can e-mail photos directly from the phone at no cost.


Don't know how it will last, and how it will stand up to use, but at the moment I'm very impressed.


100 Pounds ! Sounds like a great bargain Gaff !

Sagem makes very good phones .. their batteries are a nightmare here in Africa.

Due to our continuos power cuts the Sagem batteries (and Motorolla) do not last very long.

Nokia and SE - no problems.

Love Sagem - nice small inventions that you not always find !

Enjoy your phone.

I should have described our problem better.

While you have un- interrupted power we have severly interrupted power and that confuses a battery especially nicad's.

But even so Nokia and SE and Ericson has always bee fine.

Of course my SE P900 has the latest technology and it has no memory effect - it actually tells you that you can rather charge it 20 times a day than leaving it in a charger.

If you "over charge" it - the battery life is about 2 hours :haha:

Strange .. that is when you leave it over night fo rinstance !

Enjoy your phone Big Grin
