Minus of the Sagem MY 3042: design, faulty software
Hi,
I’m sitting at the reception, and again I have time to write a report. Today I want to write about my girlfriend's mobile, the Sagem MY 3042. I swapped the Sagem MY 3042 with my Siemens S35i - only for a few days of course.
Ok, now to the Sagem MY 3042:
The shape of the Sagem MY 3042 is edgy and plain. The silverish keys of the Sagem MY 3042 and the bordering of the display stick out of the overall impression. The front cover of the Sagem MY 3042 is exchangeable and available in several colors for the Sagem MY 3042. The antenna of the Sagem MY 3042 is not too disturbing since it’s rather small.
The display of the Sagem MY 3042 is illuminated in blue and big enough for the screen to be easily legible. Below the display of the Sagem MY 3042 is the "@"-key, with which you can access the internet, and two more programmable keys. These can be linked with often-used functions of the Sagem MY 3042, like the phone book and SMS.
The menu-structure of the Sagem MY 3042 is simple and concise. Not even laymen have problems working with the Sagem MY 3042. Should you have trouble anyway, just look in the well-written manual of the Sagem MY 3042. The Up/Down and OK/Cancel keys make navigating the menu a quick matter.
Unfortunately the Sagem MY 3042 is very slow when all the memory is in use. It might even happen that the Sagem MY 3042 turns itself off. This is a problem to work on for Sagem, because it can really get on your nerves.
The Sagem MY 3042 has all the basic functions you would expect from a modern mobile phone: the WAP-browser enables you to access especially downgraded internet sites or use other services from your provider, stock exchange and sports news, lottery numbers. All that is possible with the Sagem MY 3042.
I especially like the integrated hands-free function of the Sagem MY 3042, which has a quality of sound that’s even better than the market leaders'.
The phone book of the Sagem MY 3042 has space for up to 100 numbers and names. SMS are quickly composed due to the T9 software of the Sagem MY 3042.
As many as 40 ringer tones are available on the Sagem MY 3042. Should those not be enough, 5 more can be composed by the user of the Sagem MY 3042.
To kill time you can choose from 3 games on the Sagem MY 3042. Furthermore the Sagem MY 3042 is equipped with standards like data/fax modem, three screen-savers, calculator and currency converter, date, time, alarm clock, etc.....
The Sagem MY 3042 is a rather cheap mobile with all the functions one would expect in a modern mobile. Except for the software I found nothing negative about the Sagem MY 3042.
That's why I can recommend the Sagem MY 3042 to anyone with a small budget.
