I got news today that Fly Mobile have launched their SX200 handset in the UK.
I’ve been following Fly for quite a while but I’ve not managed to sit down with them and have a chat as yet. Back in 2003, they were the first to release a super slim handset and they’ve continued their innovation since then, targeted particularly at the pay as you go marketplace. They reckon they’ll ship 3 million handsets to a range of markets around the planet this year.
These aren’t dirt-poor rubbish handsets though. They’re full featured, at shockingly good prices. I haven’t got hold of a picture yet, but here’s the SX200 spec:
• Camera, FM Radio, music player, Bluetooth and video recording
• Great looking slider phone from Fly Mobile
• Available from Woolworths on Virgin Mobile
• Digital camera embedded
• FM Radio
• Music player/MP3 player to listen to all the latest sounds
• Stereo Bluetooth for wireless music
• Video recording and playback on the phone
• Mobile internet
• Speaker phone
• Memory card support
• Outstanding value at only £29.99
Now, I probably won’t be going out to get one myself as I have a particularly demanding set of requirements from my handsets, however the SX200 looks like a pretty wicked device for your average normob fed up of the more traditional offers from other manufacturers.
£29 pounds? Brilliant.
