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.
