Fly Mobile announces new SLT 100 in pink and black

Brand new touch screen mobile handset available now on prepay

Fly Mobile today announced the launch of the SLT 100 mobile phone in the UK market. This is the third Fly branded mobile that the company has launched this year after the sell out success of the SL 500i and SL 600. The phone is available on the Virgin Mobile network in Curry’s stores, The Link Online and Argos.

The handset is the 1st from Fly to feature a touch screen – allowing users to quickly and easily browse the menu, write text messages and browse the mobile internet. All features can also be accessed with the traditional keyboard.

The SLT 100 is available in both pink and black. It features a 2.0 megapixel camera, video camera with zoom and flash/torch, Bluetooth, FM radio including the unique Fly Mobile feature of FM record (so you can listen to radio when you want), MP3 player and memory card support.

Simon Gregory, Vice President of Fly Mobile said: “Following on from the success of our first Fly phones earlier in the year, I am delighted that we are now able to offer the SLT 100 on Virgin Mobile through Currys, The Link and Argos. The success of the 1st Fly phones has led to a wide interest in Fly Mobile and we expect to announce more phones shortly.”

“The SLT 100 is in many ways a flagship product for Fly. It shows that it is possible to have a highly featured, good looking and fully functional phone without having to sign a contract or pay the earth.”

The SLT 100 is available from Currys, The Link Online and Argos on the Virgin Mobile network. For pricing information, contact Dixon’s Store Group International/Argos.

Fly Mobile will ship more than 3 million phones into high growth markets around the world this year , and is now delivering a range of prepay handsets to the UK mobile market – the 1st of which were the SL 500i and SL 600.
