"Horrible"
The good: Great design The bad: 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... more...report

"Good battery life, unreliable software, camera button is crazy"
The good: The battery life is impressive. Usually pairs with my Bluetooth headset. The bad: 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... more...report

"stinks"
The good: lots of features, voice activated calling, camera/video phone, web browser, mp3 ringtones The bad: 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... more...report

"Great phone....HUGE problems"
The good: a lot of different features including video camera and bluetooth, can record own ringtones and conversations. Extremely long battery life. good call quality. extra features are easy to find. The bad: Breaks extremely easy. pictures from camera can come out grainy. Summary: I got my phone before I came back to school in August. I had it maybe two months and it started acting crazy. Eventually it just cut off on me. I tried to turn it on, it would stay on for about 10 minutes just for... more...report

"Sony Ericsson z520a"
The good: call quality, customizable ringtones, external screen, bluetooth, "calls" list accessible from main screen, out-of-the-way internet button--prevents you from accidentally connecting to costly services The bad: no send/end buttons, no way to change timeout on internal display, speaker on back side, battery cover difficult to remove Summary: I have very much enjoyed using my T610 for years (via T-Mobile US), but I wanted to upgrade to better PIM support. After a great deal of... more...report

"Great Phone, Full of Features"
The good: Video Camera, Ease of File Transfer via Bluetooth, and battery life is exceptional. The bad: poor quality still camera. only 2x magnification, not 4x as described on camera. Summary: Great overall phone for people who want a cell phone, but only a few extras. This phone has great reception in rural areas, but lacks in the image quality department. File transfering via bluetooth is outstanding.report

"Good Phone"
The good: lots of toys included The bad: bad camera and camera button can be turned on accidentlly Summary: I like the size of this phone and most of the extras that were included. The Sony Erissson Z520a is a pretty nice phone, good sound, lots of ringtones included and some games to keep you occupied. The only downfall I have found is the camera it takes lousy pictures and video though the sound is pretty good. Overall it's a pretty good phone.report

"Great Phone - Lots of gadgets"
The good: Bluetooth friendly - can be synced up to any bluetooth based technology... Loves the Ibook. Pic and video, speakerphone, games and music The bad: poor reception Summary: The SonyEricsson Z520a is a good phone with fair pic and video quality (for a phone...), but the reception issues in having the antenna built into the place you put your hand when using is very annoying. If you plan on using your Bluetooth, this is a great item.report

"Best phone I've ever had! "
The good: It has a camera feature. All the messenging services you need. It comes with 4 games and many programs that are easy to use and has a lightup funtion around the keypad.

"Sony Ericsson 520a"
The good: Phone is very light and easy to use. It has all of the necessary key features and lots of extras. The bad: External camera button is a pain because I am always taking pictures of the inside of my pocket or purse that I have to delete. The speaker phone feature is useless because you have to leave the phone open. There is absolutely no way to close the phone and keep talking. I have been unable to find a replacement charger in common places like Target and Wal-Mart, this is very... more...report

"Sony Ericsson Cell Phone"
The good: Compact, durable, loud volume, camera phone, videos, lighted key pad, several different ring tones and effects come programmed on the phone already, and it's an overall easy phone to operate. The bad: No real instructions on how to change the battery cover and face place that they send you (comes with blue and gray.) Summary: I've been very happy with my cell phone.

"White screen"
The good: Easy to use. A fun phone. I loved the phone so much my husband and daughter got one. The bad: 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.
