We've seen a lot of phones float our way over the years, and some of them have had emulation capability, but it's rare when you see a mobile phone-maker actually advocating that you pirate ROMs for their device. Of course, that's exactly what Fly Mobile is doing when it comes to its MC100 handset. The phone has all kinds of regular features we're sure you'd be interested in, like a 240 x 320 display, AAC, MP3 and MPEG4 playback, a microSD slot, and that handsome, "noble" dark brown finish. It all sounds good, but we know there's only one set of qualities you'll be laying down cash for: the phone's ability to play SNES, Game Boy, Game Boy Color, and NES ROMs. Just remember, your favorites "can be freele [sic] downloaded frim [sic] Internet." $270 and it's yours.

I feele [sic] this perhaps is frim [sic] a different country?
It also features "a special chip from Yanaha, a expert in sound." :)
I get an odd feeling that they plan on using the typos as a legal defense :]
"There are in-built e-book and e-mail client functions for intellectualentertainment are for intellectual"
lolwtf
I don't know about you, but I love mobile devices with Intellectualentertainment™. Perhaps you're just not much of an intellectual? :P
Fly make great phones for very little money. I managed to pick up the SLT100 (AKA SX210) on PAYG for about £50. It's solidly built, has a very sharp screen, a fairly decent camera, touchscreen and - this should sway it for anyone - 'HEALTH BIO Rhythm' feature. Oh yeah.
What? it stops at GBC... No DS or GBA emulation? EPIC WEAK!!!
I'll bet SNES emulation is awesome...with two buttons.
Emulation would be pretty useless on this thing. How would you play anything on that keypad?
How about a version of the phone that resmebles an SNES controller. haha.
my dad is using this mobile....
its excellent........i hvnt expected this kind of luxurious mobile from fly.... i was shocked to see such mobile.... nd the best thing is it is having yamaha speakers......thats too good....
