If you wish to catch the consumer?s eyeballs, you need to come up with handsets full of style. After launching a series of dual SIM phones, Fly Mobiles has come out with Fly B436, a dual SIM mobile with QWERTY keypad. It is a good multimedia mobile phone with long battery backup. Other features include dual camera, mobile tracker, FM radio, audio player, 3.5 mm audio jack adapter, card slot and expandable memory.

However, the handset has its own set of pros and flaws; it adds itself to the list of the many Fly dual SIM GSM phones that are present in the market. Stylish and sleek, the handset shines and seems like a classy device.

Talking about the features, Fly Circle B436 is a QWERTY dual SIM phone with an exterior to look for. The black plastic-rubber body looks extremely stylish and a comfort to carry. The QWERTY keypad is well-crafted but is slightly hard, which in turn makes texting a bit unpleasing. Moreover, the handset has well-crafted and integrated music keys, volume buttons at the side of the body and a 3.5 mm jack at the bottom.

Moving on to other features, the handset has a 1.3 MP camera with self capture mode option, VGA camera with features of digital zoom, however, the pictures captured are not of much clarity and have to be zoomed to view them properly. Further, the handset has nice multimedia features, with a stereo amplifier integrated within, the audio output seems like music played in clubs or something, but lacks a bit of clarity in beats and thumps.

Also, the audio player looks looks ordinary as far as the user interface is concerned and has nothing much to offer. Furthermore, the mobile phone has audio/ video recorder, which is fine

and plays the clip fine as well.

Throwing light on other features, Fly Circle B436 has applications like Snaptu, Opera Mini and Nimbuzz, alongwith Yahoo, Facebook, Opera Mini, MSN, etc. Also, the connectivity options are Bluetooth, USB and GPRS, which works absolutely fine. The most attractive feature here is the battery that is 1200 mAh, which gives the user a backup of atleast 3 days that touches the claimed talk time of 12 hours. This phone supports games, MP3 ringtones USB charging and comes with internal memory of 236 KB and expandable upto 8 GB of external memory.

Other features of the Java enabled phone includes mobile tracker, fake call settings, eBook reader, wireless FM with dedicated antenna provided and schedule recording. The reception is fine and catches well inside a room as well. However, the reception may suffer in entirely closed room or if it is kept in pocket.
