LETS HOPE THIS IS AN EARLY APRIL FOOLS DAY JOKE
because:
sagems ui is the sh***yest in the whole history of phones.
the hardware is sh** probably made for 50c AUD in china (NO OFFENCE CHINESE COUNTERFITERS)
from design point of view sagem have had good times and bad (but mainly bad)
Once again i cannot stress how SH** the UI is.
I will never touch a low end SE again unless i know for sure it has not been SAGEMISED, and lets hope SE keep its own UI and features rather than use SAGEMS.
You know sagem just wants to be recognised and move up in the market cause they are crap, they are just going to "live/suck the life out of SE"
i probalbly expressed my self to much, sorry.
SE+SAGEM=UNTRUE (hopefully)

According to the text is was Sony Ericsson which initiated the move.
Not so long ago
proclaimed it would never make 'bargain-basement' handsets but if it to compete in cerrtain developing markets then this could be beneficial.

Sony Ericsson and Sagem Communication enter into licensing and ODM agreements regarding mobile phones
Paris, France - 26 March 2007 - Sony Ericsson Mobile Communications and Sagem Communication (SAFRAN Group) jointly announced today that they have signed licensing and ODM (Original Developer Manufacturer) agreements concerning more competitively priced GSM, GPRS & EDGE mobile phones. As part of the licensing agreement Sagem Communication will license certain hardware and software technologies related to mobile phone platforms to Sony Ericsson. As part of the ODM agreement Sagem Communication will provide Sony Ericsson with a number of Sony Ericsson branded mobile phones. In addition the two companies will conduct joint development activities.
"We chose Sagem Communication because their software platforms are mature, scaleable and flexible. In addition we were impressed with the quality and performance of their phones, which have been developed by a skilled workforce. Our co-operation with Sagem Communication will allow us to offer a mature range of phones right from the start," said Howard Lewis, Vice President and Head of PBU (Product Business Unit) Entry at Sony Ericsson.
"We are proud that Sony Ericsson, a major player in the mobile phones sector, has selected Sagem Communication for this co-operation. Their choice clearly proves the technical value and ability of our teams. Our agreement is long-term, oriented through various aspects covered and it will highlight our joint development efforts," said Thierry Buffenoir, deputy CEO of Sagem Communication.
In order to allow for closer communication with the technical team of Sagem Communication, Sony Ericsson will establish a development unit dedicated to volume segment mobile phones, to be located in the vicinity of Sagem Communication's premises in Cergy, France. Through this co-operation, Sony Ericsson will be able to complete its volume segment product offering and strengthen its position in this area of the market, whilst at the same time benefit from the technical know-how and the engineering capacity of Sagem Communication. The agreement will allow Sagem Communication to enhance the value of its technology and optimise its total industrial resources.

This spoils my day. Sagem is CRAP period and Sony Ericsson has no business getting into such a deal. The next thing those branded phones are going to be seen as Sony Ericssons.

I can see how the two companies might benefit each other but how cheap do the phone have to be? The J100 is already one of the cheapest phones around. I've seen them on sale for about £15.
Imagine a phone cheaper than that - it might not even have a screen at all.
