Hi, many people are waiting for a review on Fly B720 Duo (CDMA+GSM). So here it is:
Presently dual sim phones available in Indian markets are Spice D-88n, Samsung Duo(Tata Indicom only) and now Fly B-720. And off course we have great Chinese phones but without warranty.
I bought Fly B720 Duo about a week ago for Rs 8600. I find it to be a good phone till now!!. You can use two sim cards simultaneously, one GSM (Airtel, Idea etc ) and other CDMA (Reliance , TATA indicom etc)
The phone operates in four modes
1. CDMA+GSM
2. CDMA only
3. GSM only
4. Flight mode (phone is on but there is no transmission or reception, used
in flights for music or videos )
Good Points:
-Great looks
-Good signal reception
-Good and large screen. Good clarity (2.4” QVGA 262K TFT)
-Supports MP3, 3GP and MP4. Has audio and video players.
-Pre-fed internet settings for major networks including TATA and Reliance.
-Web browser
-Good speaker
-Has separate buttons for calling from CDMA or GSM network. Just select a
no. and push CDMA or GSM button to call directly from the desired network.
- Expandable memory to 2GB
- Bundled data cable and head set
-Faster Bluetooth
- Pressing # shows video on full screen.
Some hitches:
-No themes
-Camera quality not great. Considerable delay from pressing button to picture actually being taken.
Bad performance indoors and in dark. No flash.
-Does not support making folders for music and videos.
-I could not figure out how to install applications. Does it support them????
-Poorly written user manual. The manual does not even has basic specifications of the phone. It does not even
specify what audio or video formats are supported.
Overall a good phone and a good value for money. I will give it a 7/10 .
