Fly SL500i Mobile Phone
I’ve looked at a couple of mobiles, Fly recently, namely the SLT100 and SX200. Both are in the budget headphones, and both are available in high-street stores, Virgin Mobile.
The SL500i follows the pattern set earlier. It is only £ 24.99, this is a cell phone for the budget. It is also available on Virgin Mobile PAYG deal, and comes to a high street box shifter Argos.
The first asia to say, is that none of this turns me on that cell phone. Low cost mobiles, who do a good job is fine with me. Two other Fly models I have seen are certainly fallen into the category of average, but then they do not pretend to be anything else. And if you want a very short version of this review, the SL500i does the same.
Tri-band SL500i slider is a pink, and I, what candy-pink it is. With its silver flashes down the left and right edges in front of the chain, as well as the other dotted silver highlights, and purpley-Bluey backlight is the face buttons, it seems something, which is aimed at a 12-year-old girl whose parents ought to know better than to give in to a pink stereotype . This has been further reinforced when you open the record, and is confronted with a number pad, with a pale lavender keys are backlit the same blue / purple, as the face of the keys.
Still, go beyond color, and this is a dinky the slider handset with the physical design is really attractive. Measuring only 80mm tall, 44mm wide and 16.2mm thick when closed, it will grow at around 117mm high, when the door is open. It weighs only 90g.
I am fan in front of the keys, which are relatively high, given the constrained space in which they have to be reconciled. The navigation button in particular is a major - a proportionately higher than the stated number, the more the black phones.
The overall design of this phone is one of the big guns can be learned. I would like to see one of them take the SL500i’s footprint, slim it down and generally make Pocket and hand-friendly high-end mobile slider. (via)
