Fly DS400 and Fly DS500 — a double addition in the dual-SIM phone line
Moving to expand its family of dual-SIM devices in Russia, Fly proudly presents the Fly DS400 bar phone and the Fly DS500 slider.
As the first phone in Russia to support two SIM cards simultaneously, the Fly B700 Duo launched the line of dual-SIM devices from Fly and caught the attention of business-oriented users with its tailored design and full set of business functions.
The new Fly DS400 and Fly DS500 phones belong to the same family, but they are completely different in terms of design, function and who will want to buy them. Before the arrival of the FlyDS400 and FlyDS500, mobile phone users assumed that the chief distinction of dual-SIM phones was the convenient technology, and they couldn’t imagine having a choice of design or functions. The slogan of the Fly dual-SIM family of mobile phones is: Deny yourself nothing! The ergonomically designed Fly DS400 bar phone is for ambitious young people, who want not merely fun and relaxation in life, but also a highly successful career. By day, the stylish DS500 slider is the best business assistant possible, while after dusk it becomes a ticket to a chic nightlife. Why compromise between function and design, when you can chose the Fly DS400 and the Fly DS500?
The Fly DS400 has a 2-inch TFT screen, 262K colour display and 176×220 pixel resolution, and weighs 96 g. With a capacity of 800 mAh, the battery supports the simultaneous use of two SIM cards for up to 7 hours of conversation time or 100 hours of waiting time.
The Fly DS400 is not overloaded with functions: its motto is convenience and vital functions ready to hand. The Fly DS400 has no inbuilt memory and all user information is stored on an 8 GB microSD memory card, which is very useful if you have to change phones. The 1.3 Mpix camera with digital zoom and night filming mode extends the possibilities for experimenting with mobile photo and video. The maximum resolution of photos taken with the Fly DS400 camera is 1280×1024 pixels, video — QCIF 176×144 pixels.
The Fly DS400 supports USB and wireless Bluetooth 1.2 connections.
Among the Fly DS400 functions familiar to today’s users are: 64-tone polyphony, ringtone download via PC or Internet, subscriber ringtones, FM receiver, MP3/MP4 player, alarm and dictaphone.
The Fly DS400 supports Wap 1.2 and GPRS class 10 mobile Internet technologies, as well as sending and receiving MMS messages.
Fly DS400 phonebook subscribers (1000 contacts + SIM) can be given photos and individual ringtones.
The Fly DS500 slider with support for two SIM cards simultaneously is an interesting body and function design solution, worthy of the title “multimedia telephone”. The bright 2.2-inch TFT screen with 240×320 pixel resolution takes up most of the moveable component of the phone. It is very convenient for viewing anything from photos taken with the 2 Mpix camera with inbuilt flash (maximum resolution 1600×1200 pixels) to videos taken in QCIF (176×144), CIF (352×288), or for reading electronic books.
Besides the simultaneous use of two SIM cards, the Fly DS500 offers business people a full range of functions for out-of-office work: inbuilt e-mail client, WAP 2.0, GPRS class 8, GPRS modem, organizer with currency converter and world time display function.
Fly DS500 entertainment options include: audio player with equaliser (mp3, aac, amr, wav, mid), video player (MP4, 3GP), FM-receiver (scheduled recording), Java games, graphics editor, MMS and EMS. It comes complete with earphones with a 3.5 mm adapter. All vital business information, photos, music and electronic books can be stored using the inbuilt 8 MB Fly DS500 memory or a microSD card. The Fly DS500 contacts book holds up to 600 entries (+ SIM memory) with 10 fields, and every contact can have a photo and specific ringtone.
The Fly DS500 can be synchronized with a PC using a USB cable and the Fly PC Sync program.
