    well, my mum might need to get a new phone after her nokia 3315 (that she has had for about 5.5 years) will be toooo old. In 2006 she got a nokia 2610 and she complained that the phone was not loud enough so she went back to her nokia 3315. i'm wondering if any of you people around the world who go on this site, who HAVE the phone will tell me: is the samsung c520 LOUD enough when you have a call or a txt? because it has been killing her

            This is good simple everyday phone and this phone have ALARM and SENT FOLDER you just have to go around the menus or read the manual now to set ALARM go to "organiser" highlight "alarm" choose if you want once alarm or daily alarm or morning call etc. enter time choose AM or PM and there you go it is activated you will see a bell sign on your screen. For ther SENT text menu go to messages click on "text messages" try to sent a txt message highlight "write new" then type in your message. hit on "option" and highlight 2 or "save and send" choose "in phone" and typed in or choose the number of the person you like to send your message to. then click on send. to check your sent message go and check your outbox it will be there. I have motorola and samsung phone both have sent outbox but the way they are set up inside the phone have different procedures and thats when it gets a little complicated, well that is when the power of cellphone navigation gets really interesting sometimes cellphone manuals have the basic info but once you get the hang and feel of the phone then you'll discover the phone has more to offer.

              I have the rozsy version of this phone and its great. The only issue i have is that it doesn't have bluetooth! And i think you can plug it into the computer but you have to buy the usb cord seperatly. I am gonna go nag my dad to take me out so i can buy i cord for mine now! lol

                  dont be deceived by its looks! looks really sexy but lacks what i need! it has no alarm and
                  sent messages folder.. truly a no-no for shoppers looking for functional phone!

                      For Australians: My Virgin prepaid sim works with this phone (the packaging says it's locked to Boost).
                      The following comments compare the Samsung c520 with the Nokia 8210 (which I've used for 10 years)

                      Pros:
                      - lightweight,
                      - simple phone,
                      - easy to navigate,
                      - T9 sms,
                      - battery life seems decent
                      - easy to turn phone to completely silent

                      Cons (very nit-picky things):
                      - Doesn't come with a standard ring tone (all are random melodies),
                      - no display outside the phone so you have to flick it open to see if you have a missed call / msg,
                      - no way to lock the keypad (that I know of at least), which means the screen lights up in your pocket/bag whenever the external volume keys are pressed
                      - no profiles (for ring tones)
                      - can't have the phone ring and vibrate constantly
                      - can't seem to change the view on the phonebook

                      Overall I'm happy with this phone for it's AU$79 pricetag. The cons are all really minor issues (and mostly about the ring tones and other features that I'm used to with a Nokia).

                        I have a c520. It´s a cool looking small, light in weight phone. Have no complaints.
                        It´s got everything I need. Besides what is a phone for? In the old time they where used for the right stuff. phoning and sending SMS. Nowadays cellphones are full of functions.
                        Some are so complicated that a person does not even know how to touch it. But Like I say this one is a Simple good looking easy to use & small cellphone. Thanx to Samsung.

                                      guys this phone is deceiving, dont be fooled by the look, the phone has an extremely weak network signal, what good is a phone if it losses signal and cannot hold a call. not recommended at all
