Company Sagem has decided to update slightly model Sagem myC5-2. The updated model the same as also the predecessor, it is executed in forms-factors "folding bed" with two displays; the aerial, unlike Sagem myC5-2, internal the same as and the previous device, has a built in VGA-chamber. Dimensions of the device have remained without changes: 82.2х42.7х23 mm, weight: 85 gram. In a life the device looks(appears) less, than is actually, that in the bottom part the case is made slightly narrower affects, and edges(territories) are smoothed(maleficiated). Without the external aerial the device began to look(appear) more interestingly.

The case of the device is completely executed from plastic, quality an average, in a hand the device crackles. The sensation is created, that phone fragile enough, actually it not so, but at the first acquaintance there are such ideas. A covering of the case varnished, easily soiled enough. The model is delivered in two colour scores: it is black with silvery and dark blue with silvery; in both cases prints are well visible on the case. Also a covering not so proof, after a while on it(him) there will be attritions and scratchs.

On the top cover of the device settles down semitsvetnyj the service indicator. In the menu of phone it is possible to establish(install) separate color of work on one of functions of the device, it can be: an entering call, a discharge of the battery, an alarm clock or something(something else). Under the indicator the small monochrome display around of which there is a mirror framework settles down. Also on this framework the pocket mirror for a self-portrait settles down. The display has the sanction 96х64 points (21х13 mm), illumination very bright, white color.

The basic problem of the screen consists that very small and thin fonts which hardly can be considered(examined) on such tiny display are used. And it concerns to the information by an entering call (number or a name), the passed(missed) call and the entering message, all these data are displayed on the external display, but a font, it is possible to tell, is not readable. And here in a mode of expectation when on the display hours are displayed, date and day of week, a font absolutely normal. To include illumination of the external display when the device is closed it is possible, having pressed a key of volume control.

On the left lateral surface the dual key of volume control settles down. It(she) is located successfully, it is convenient to it(her) to use during conversation.

At the bottom end face by tradition the interface socket settles down, has surprised, that it(he) is covered by nothing and will be hammered by a dust.

To open the device one hand it is possible without special problems, along all case there is big enough deepening so to pick up a cover it is possible. At opening the device the small cSTN-display with the sanction 128х160 the points, capable to display up to 65000 colors(flowers) becomes visible.

Quality of display of a picture quite decent for the screen made on STN-technology. On the sun it(he) slepnet, but nevertheless on it(him) to make out the information is possible. At opening phone illumination of the display works not at once but only after a while, such delay though is insignificant, but irritates a little.

The keyboard of the device is executed from plastic. The four-item navigating key with button " ОК " entered in it(her) has the average sizes, in work it(she) is convenient. Two function keys and buttons of a release and reception of a call though also small, but are well carried, that allows to work quite comfortably with them.

Digital keys are located by horizontal numbers(lines) closely to each other. They have the average sizes, at a set of number or the message is rare enough, but nevertheless there are erroneous pressing. Illumination of the keyboard of dark blue color, non-uniform, some keys are badly highlighted.

On a back wall of the device the objective of the built in VGA-chamber is located, it(he) practically is not drowned in the case and nothing is protected, therefore after a while to not avoid occurrence on it(him) of scratchs and attritions.

The remained part of the case is borrowed(occupied) with a cover of a storage compartment. Its(her) fastening not so reliable, after a while dialogue with the device at a cover appears small lyuft. Under a cover the storage battery in capacity 700 mach settles down. According to the manufacturer, with it(her) the device is capable to work till 3 o'clock in a mode of conversation and till 240 o'clock in a mode of expectation. In operating conditions of the Moscow operators the device worked on the average 3 day at 30 minutes of conversation in day and till 20 minutes of use of other functions.
