The mobile phone brand, Fly, is admittedly not very popular among the masses, but the new Fly E120 has all the potential to steal the thunder from the other, more fashionable cell phones. Its monoblock design looks stylish and makes the whole structure a lot more compact to carry. Weighing a mere 85 grams, the Fly E120 is surprisingly packed with powerful multimedia features, such as a brilliant high-resolution TFT screen with more than 262k colors; 3.2 MP camera that also supports videos in 3GP or MPEG4; supports several audio formats like WAV, AAC+, MP3, MIDI and more.

Other pluses are a microSD slot of 8GB, Bluetooth, Java support, Photo Editor, stopwatch, Dictaphone, FM Radio, 1000-phone book and unlimited space to store information of each contact in the phonebook. You can even assign a ringing tone, photo and video to your phone. The big display screen and the black and silver/red front panel makes the whole look of the phone very elitist. The keyboard, which does not at all seem to protrude from the interface, readily responds to the lightest finger touch.

Priced at 6890 rubles, the Fly E120 is slated to arrive in the markets in December 2008.
