UK-based Fly Mobile has announced the launch of two new dual-SIM touchscreen phones, the Fly MC 160 Touch and the Fly E 106 Touch, in India.The introduction of the Fly MC 160 Touch and the E 106 dual-SIM phones in India, will expand Fly Mobile’s handset portfolio in India. The company does not have a strong presence in the Indian market as yet.

With the launch of the MC 160 Touch and the E 106 Touch dual-SIM touchscreen phones in India, Fly Mobile hopes to capture a bigger market share in the Indian mobile phone market.

The handsets, Fly MC 160 and Fly E 106, will be priced at Rs 6,000 and Rs 5,300, respectively.

Fly Mobile is expecting the Fly MC 160 Touch and the Fly E 106 Touch to do well in the Indian market considering the fact that the two handsets are priced aggressively and come with some impressive features to boot for a phone in that price range.

    MC 160 is more worth than the price what we pay for it. With the same features in some other brands will cost you more. !!!

    Fly MC 160 : (1)Colour of the Keypad faded away within 2 months of its use without any external damage caused or scratching done by the user. Thus, a few key words r totally disfigured, losing the very grace of the phone.(2) the dual sim slot No 2 (beneath) perhaps is unable to take the load of two sims, as the phone goes off & on automatically, the moment 2nd sim is placed in the slot. (3) During the last 7 months of its use, I have never seen ‘battery full’ sign, despite keeping it charging even for 4-5 hours continuously. Hence, not worth money spent on it.
