A small relief is that the SIM compartment is not buried beneath the battery or suchlike. You need only take the batter cover out to access the SIM. The problem though is that the phone lacks auto update. Despite having the luxury of slipping the SIM card in without switching the phone off, you will always have to reboot to get out of the SOS (emergency) mode. As for the memory card, there's no shortcut – it requires you to take the battery out.


This is a touchscreen phone, a feature that seems quite redundant as it hardly complements the small screen size. It's completely touchscreen, however, and there's a stylus that proves the same. You will find the stylus in the upper right of the phone. The camera and flash are situated behind, without a cover.


The interface is bit like Samsung's in look and feel, and inherits the sluggishness too. One of the most irritating (and I use the word in honest emphasis) things about the phone is the startup and shutdown fanfare. Every time the phone is switched off or on, an image of the Hummer (the car, not the phone) is displayed and the phone does a small song-and-dance routine. You can't even turn it off.

What strikes me as stupid is that when your battery is really low, the phone will not allow you to place a call, but it will still do the little jig before it completely drops dead.


The screen is a 262K color LCD with touchscreen. Over many days of usage I haven't found a good reason to use the touchscreen feature. The user interface (UI) is intuitive enough, but sluggish. In truth the Hummer is a budget-level phone, and the company has no qualms in calling it affordable. The phone comes with all the expected connectivity features – Bluetooth, EDGE, GPRS, and Infrared. We didn't experience any problems with these.

Few dez back I bought this FLY-SX210 handset. This handsetset is a good handset. Touch screen, FM , MP3 player , 2MP camera...lots of other stuff but the major problem is fly's touch screen is too sensitive. My touch screen broke down in pocket. Although my handset have fallen frfom my pocket several times but the handset is working good. The major problem is with the reception of signals. Some times the voice is so much creepy.You can hardly understand what other fellow is saying. The another problem that i found out is the loudspeker, it can went on in middle of the call with ot touching any thing. Plzz do not go for factory setting if you tochscreen is not working then your handset will get hang and then you can not do anything. You can just recive call but wont be able to make any cal

Just after using this fancy looking instrument for 3 months, it's giving me lot of trouble. Cannot make any calls as my voice doesn't get through.

A remote service center with just one person to cater to the entire city, Loads of customers having all sorts of grievances.
I had to bribe the guy to fix it the same day, otherwise it would have taken at lease 3 days to even look at it.

Priced at 7,500 rs. this has a few nice features. Like being light weight, handwriting recognition (one character at a time), nice graphics and touchscreen.

Downside is that only 100 text messages can reside in the phone although there is ample storage. It wouldn't be easy to locate a service center and subsequently. Accessories aren't easily available in the market as well.
nandlal wadhwani @ May 21,2008
can u tell me da latest cost with bill of this phone and if this phone comes with EDGE?
Anish @ May 18,2008
hummer has no clock or alarm or vibration?????
edel @ May 14,2008
What is the price? Can you download the Video Recording in comman format
Atul Bhalerao @ May 14,2008
...and radio sound quality is the best that i have hear so far. u can record live radio, even schedule a radio recording. camera records video in both 3gp and mp4 format. honestly tell me how many phones can record video in mp4 format? i dont how u reviewed this phone, may be u got an outdated version. try reviewing it again and see the difference. so all ppl please dont listen to what mr qureshi is sayin (no offence). just go to market and see for ur self whether this phone deserves 2.5/5 or 4.5/5.
the only problem that i got is that 95% of games dont run on it bcos its touch screen. and second the vibration is way too low. u cannot feel the vibration is ur pocket when the phone is ringing. other than these two problems the phone ROCKS. believe me i had k790i before this one.

dear mr. Laiq Qureshi, looks like u didnt get paid to write this review. i mean common, i m using this phone for the last 4 months and i absolutely love it. there is NO SLUGISHNESS at all. even when i open hundreds of songs in my 1gb micro sd cards. and the navigation is very intuitive, attractive and swift. its waaaaaaay faster than n-series phones of nokia. and the music quality is also very good tho not excellent but its better than se k790i. yes i had se k790i previously and fly hummer beats the crap out of it in every department except voice clarity. the camera is also very and has so many settings that u can customize to get the perfect shot. same goes for music too..its is 3D sound option, equalizer and karaoke function. the touchscreen is also very responsive. ..
