Summary

The Fly phone theatre MV135 is a good dual-SIM multimedia cellphone justifying the tag - "phone theatre". At a price of Rs. 3,949, it makes a good buy with appealing display quality and multimedia speaker performance. However, we would not recommend it if you are looking for a camera cellphone with decent video recording.

Review
Specifications & Performance

As the mobile market swells with more and more dual-SIM handsets, the competition is just getting hotter everyday! We just got hold of yet another dual-SIM (GSM+GSM) cellphone - the phone theatre MV135 from Fly, which truly holds an edge with its gorgeous looks and sublime multimedia speaker performance. It is sleek and stylish with a predominant orange stripe decorating the edges of the battery cover and an orange coat highlighting the keys on the keypad. The media control buttons and the navigation dial are coated with orange, and add to the beauty of the cellphone.

The glossy black finish on the front and back panels adds a stark contrast to the predominant orange coat. The Fly MV135 has no ports on the sides and instead the USB port & the 3.5mm audio jack have been moved to the top. The battery cover can be easily removed using the marked nail grip on the lower portion of either sides of the back-panel. There is an indented hole representing the 2MP camera at the top of the battery cover which is highlighted by the orange stripe running across the contours of the battery cover. Also, the booom logo engraved on the back-panel is decorated with some dotted artwork making a nice contrast against the orange stripe, which marks the boundaries of the battery cover. Removing the battery cover and the battery reveals two GSM SIM card slots and one microSD memory slot. The bundled 2GB microSD card serves as the value added feature, which most cellphones in this price category miss out these days. With due credits to the bundled memory card, we could easily download songs and videos from the PC for playback on the cellphone.
