Sagem my150X: Lowest BOM in the market 16$ with Infineon ULC chipset E-Gold
Thomas Menguy | November 5, 2007Ok exit the Motofone F3 here is the Sagem my150x : Today I had briefly this baby in hand from an insider. The screen in monochrome, but with a particular technology that looks like old LED based VCR. Notification icons are “hardware based” like the F3, menus are pretty simple and quite well readable with a good contrast, no T9 for SMS. I was impressed by the sturdy sleek and fashion design, and the really great tactile feeling of the case (really similar to the great smooth Samsung plastics).
But what is really amazing is its BOM: 16$ ! Some “rumors” are telling that it will be sold 29 euros in Carrefour. And it seems that in UK Orange to sell Sagem my150x pay-as-you-go phone for 10!
This is the first phone sporting the Infineon ULC mono chip…and this is great!
