Barcelona, 12 February 2007 – Sagem Communication (SAFRAN Group) has expanded its mobile phone range by launching two new models, one in Oxbow brand colours and another in the trademark Roland Garros colour way. With these two models, Sagem Communication lays the foundations to a series of co-branded mobile phones due for market launch over 2007 and designed to meet the needs of consumers seeking product customization through brand names from a range of leisure focuses, including fashion, sport, and more.

Advantage SAGEM!

Elegantly-styled with the trademark Roland-Garros signature in a sleek white and brushed metal finish, the myRoland Garros by SAGEM was designed with the fashion conscious sports fan in mind.

Original stand-out features include: a wake-up call or incoming ringtone in Central Court sound effects (the noise of the balls), a larger-than-life tennis game (JavaTM enabled), and a volley of tennis-based wallpapers.

The winning set of ace features includes dual-screen for fast-read, explosive colour (65K colours, 128 x 160 pixels).

The myRoland Garros by SAGEM also has a built-in 1.3 megapixel camera offering 8x zoom and a host of visual effects (negative, sepia toning, frames, and more) that also packs video recording and playback, so you can record the highlights.

After the day’s exertions, kick back and relax... with the mp3 player and built-in microSDTM card reader for storing your music catalogue.
