Fly Mobile SL600 Review

16 November 2007  |  Avg user rating:  

Poor Excellent

Look and Feel

The Fly SL600 is a sleek, incredibly lightweight compact slider that, although feeling a little plasticky, is relatively well-built handset. The spring-assisted slider action is smooth with a soft glide and the keys and five-way pad are big, bold and welcoming.

Features

The SL600 offers a two-megapixel camera, a digital music player, expandable memory and a whole host of pre-loaded games.

Ease of Use

The SL600's menu system is graphically reminiscent of the Samsung D500 and plays out much like the Korean's intuitive user interface. No complaints here.

Performance

The two-megapixel camera is a boon at this level. It snaps in a 1600x1200-pixel resolution and although auto-focus and macro focus are missing, you do still get an LED flash light.

Battery Life

There's no positive way to spin it - the Fly SL600 has a very weak battery that will need regular re-charging.

Pros: You won't believe the feature set served up for just £60.
Cons: Not too many major gripes, but lack of EDGE and an inconsistent camera performance might offend.

Verdict: Just check out the SL600's feature set alongside its price. A prepay giveaway.
