popey,

the sagem myG-5 is EMS (enhanced messaging service) capable which means you can send EMS messages to other EMS capable phones, not just sagem phones. if the phone you are sending an EMS message to can only handle SMS, then the text part of your EMS message will still be sent to that phone but MINUS the multimedia aspects such as sounds or graphics. basically thats what EMS is... being able to send a text message with a graphic included or a ringtone included or a sound clip etc ect included in the same EMS message. for example you could have an EMS that says "merry xmas" and include a xmas tree graphic or a "we wish you a merry xmas" sound clip (jingle) all in the same message.

there is another version of the myG-5 coming out in future called the myG-5m which i dont think has yet been released.. this is the one that will have MMS capability. MMS messaging means any MMS capable phone can send a message to any other MMS capable phone, not just the same manufacturer phones. eg a nokia MMS phone can send an MMS message to a sagem MMS phone and vice-versa.

to recap:
the sagem myG-5 is EMS capable.
the sagem myG-5m (not released yet as far as i know) will be MMS capable. i think both will look exactly the same, the only difference being that the myG-5m will have MMS capabilty.

      hi popey,

      i have had the myG-5 for a little while now and i can honestly say that this phone is such a gem. i am very pleased with just how pleased with my purchse of this handset. it is such an excellent phone in it's own right. i do not own a myX-5 so i cannot comment on it, although i do know that there are many similarities between the 2, because i know that the myG-5 is based on the myX-5.

      but i would definitely recommend that you get the myG-5 because not only will you be able to download & play the ExEn games from In-fusio, but you will also be able to download Java (J2ME) games & applications too over a WAP connection because the myG-5 is also a Java (J2ME) enabled handset.

      you can only get ExEn games on the my-X5 because it is NOT a Java (J2ME) enabled phone.

      the my-G5 also has a gameboy style control pad which makes playing games a LOT better. if feels exactly like it should feel. it feels just like playing a gameboy game rather than the unconventional one-handed gameplaying nature of a lot of average mobile phones. this phone is desiged specifically with gaming in mind. the control pad really does make a big difference.

      and imo the myG-5 is easily the better looking phone... i feel it has a far more cooler look to it than the myX-5.

      for more info on the differences & similarities between the 2 phones just check out the information pages for each phone on this site.

      the bottom line is that the myG-5 has more functions/features than the myX-5, and it is also better looking too imo.

      but here is a link for more info and pics of the my-G5:

            Okay, for people who cannot see any difference and every second word is (censored), it is a cool display and when you drink enough beer, it seems to be MORE than 256 colours (when you took LSD it became Millions !!)
            SAGEM says it were 256 colors, not more, not less :-))
            Does your mother know about what she has done wrong in your education? Where do you grow up ? Full of hate !
            I would have understand, if i wrote something ugly about your mother !


            I like your comments. I guess you are 10 -14 years, right ?
            Did i offence you ? I have critized the phone o:)
            But your answers :-((

              Nobody said: "You surely have configured the display of your PC to 256 colours !"
              Do you ? Because 256 colours are great
              :-)))(Although i believe you cannot count to 256).

                  Im not disapointed about my buy... Actually i got more than i bargained for, I didnt know this fone was soo lite. And the colour on this phone looks more like a 4096 colour display rathe than a 256 considering i have a nokia 7210.... But yeh in some ways id rather use the Sagem. But im totally against SCHNULLI.. What he said is totally full of SHIT... I THINK IM SPEAKING FOR EVERY ONE WHEN I SAY THAT SCHNULLI IS A SHIT LICKER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! oh and i love the hotmail adressess. YOU GUYS ROCK

                    hello, i have just found out that sagem have now lauched a new official website for all sagem users where you can now download things like ringtones, wallpapers, graphics, screensavers and games etc. onto your your sagem mobile phone! it looks really good and it's free too, just quickly register first and then you will have full access to the site:

                      Sorry, in one point you are right:
                      "I have had an myg-5, t68i and MYX-5.And i dont see the difference between the colour"

                      Yes they all have the same, shitty 256 colours display and not 4096 or 65000 as REALLY COOL handys have !

                            I have a MY-X5 and it is the worst phone, i ever had. The support by sagem is nonexistent. The display (same as in the G5) has crappy colours. Features, which other phones have since 4 years are missing. You cant transfer phonebook entries per IR (very old phones like Siemens S35i or Nokia 8210 can exchange). Phonebook entries only contain name and number. No e-mail adress (perhaps because the phone has no e-mail client :-(( ??).
                            No little organizer functions to see and so on and so on. Beside the crappy 256 colour display and polyphonic ringtones the phone has nothing, what phones from Nokia, Siemens, Motorola .. have.
                            And that is the "hightec-phone" of this poor company. Poor french ...

                                    actually it feels more like an 8310 than a 8210. the 8210 feels slightly thinner depth-wise than the 8310. 8310 is the that feels really solid. so yes this phone is more like a nokia 8310, only it's built especially for playing games.
