Dear all,
Here I am with a review of a dual Sim mobile – Fly B700.
Buying the Phone – Prologue
My search for a good dual sim mobile to be used by my father is ON for nearly two years. First he tried with the small attachment in his 1100 (We have to switch ooff and on) to change the sim operations. Since this din provide enough good., he began to use two phones. Often., carrying those two became very tough as he wears dhothies and not pants (Else he could tuck off the phones in his packets)
After joining to proffession, I bought my close relations small gifts to cherish (From sarees to shirts to gold studs) from my second salary. Dont ask what I did wid my first (Secret…)
I was having a long thought of getting my Dad something, but thr was not a good chance. Also the money just flew off for various expenses. Now finally I bought the Fly B 700.

User Review
Whats good:
-
The dual sim support is hassle free with incomings comin from both sims and dedicated outgoing key for each network.
-
Camera is pretty decent, yet there is no flash and night effect is not that good.
-
Audio quality is pretty good and volume is awesome if you need it
-
Call clarity is good
-
Battery stands for long time (with normal use with audio player use now and then) it comes for 2-3 days.
-
The mobile looks stylish
The Bad
-
The ergonomics is bad. The mobile clearly has a cheap quality plastic (Compared to Nokia, SE and Motorola phones)
-
The navigation keys are not user friendly
Overall, it s a good choice of a dual sim phone especiall at its price tag and the features it hosts with that), of the limited dual sim phones in the market. Only Spice and Fly has a variety and easily available dual sim phones.

I hope you will be given a sheet when you have bought the phone, with all the details of the service center numbers and addresses. I did not contact any service center for any problem.
And I would like to give one point here, My phone got a beeping tone, when we speak during a call (Not the call waiting beep – this is a loud one), when I get that prob, I ll “Restore Factory Settings”, it ll be alright then. See if this is useful for you.

the fly phone can send files over blutooth to any phone but it cannot receive files from any phone over bluetooth.
Moreover I cannot change themes.It seems there are no option for changing themes.The set is made of so poor quality plastic

@ Arupendu
I hope what you have told is not true, I can send and receive the files via bluetooth. I hope you have not turned the ‘visiblity’ option ON. Kindly check again.
