In the spring of 2011, Sagem Wireless was renamed Mobiwire SA, the aim of renaming the company was to show it was independent from other SAGEM spin-offs (SAGEMCOM and SAGEM Defence). The reason I bought the Sagem MC290 phone was because it looks quite good, it was small and not too expensive. In 1924, 25 year old French businessman Marcel Môme founded the Société d’Applications Générales de l’Électricité et de la Mécanique (SAGEM).At the time, Jochen Zeitz, the Chairman and CEO of Puma, stated that the Puma Phone “was consistent with everything Puma stands for – joy, environmental responsibility and individuality”. Despite appearances that it might be a smartphone, the device used a proprietary software platform which was powered by Myriad (another Sofinnova-backed firm) and it delivered an extremely compelling user experience. The company made a foray into telecommunications in 1942 with the first telex printer, although it was principally a defense-oriented company during the first few decades of the post-war era.
