Sony Ericsson Z520a Cell Phone

Cons: All three of us over time experienced the white screen on our cell phones.

Summary: The phone is great while it last, but the screen goes out over time.

Cons: Flawed model

Summary: I loved this phone except for the fact that it stoped working a few months after purchase. Had it replaced twice under warranty and both times the brand new phone just stopped working randomly on its own. Screen goes white and after a few days goes black and is non responsive. AT&T/Cingular stores did not take it back and it had to be exchanged online. As a matter of fact a store rep told me that this model is known to have problems and that is the reason it is only sold online. Do not get this phone, it will break too soon too sudden.

Cons: Software crashes too often.
Does not always ring when receiving a call.
Camera takes pictures of my pocket.

Summary: I like the phone when it works, which is most of the time. The battery life is good. However, the software crashes pretty often -- generally when taking a call or when sending a text message. And, the phone often decides not to ring, so I miss calls. The external camera button is very sensitive, resulting in dozens of pictures of my pocket. Disabling it is possible; check the internet.

Cons: not a durable phone, difficult interface when compared to my motorola 720...

Summary: This phone is horrible!!! The first problem I had with it was taking pictures of the inside of my pocket. I read the entire manual and found nothing about a key lock on the phone to keep this problem from happening. Cingular couldn't help me figure out how to fix the problem either. I tried to take it back...but it was past my 30 day trial. Now the speaker and microphone cut out...not on every call, just every once-in-a-while. This phone stinks. I have been upset with it for along time and am just waiting for it to die so I can make an insurance claim and get a different phone. DO NOT BUY THIS PHONE!!!

Cons: could use better camera

Summary: Overall, I really like using this phone.
