Sofinnova's
purchase of Sagem means that the
Sagem brand will disappear completely from handsets by the end of the year, Mobile Phone Helpdesk is reporting. Don't worry, though, you rabid Sagem fans: the manufacturer will still be alive and well, albeit in a decidedly less high-profile form as a dedicated ODM. Making phones for other brands is a biz Sagem's already well acquainted with through its
partnership with Sony Ericsson and others, so it should be an easy transition. In the meanwhile, Sagem-branded phones currently planned for release before the end of the year should still "partly come to market," so get those collectors' editions while you still can.

My first cellphone was a Sagem... I kept trying to break to break it because it was ugly and wanted something beter but throwing it against wall or the ground never killed it. Built like a friggin tank I'd say.
