    i recently bought this phone without consulting first the reviews or whatever (it's cute and it's sony). I'm a bit embarrassed because after reading the reviews, apparently, this z520i is a girlie phone (lolz to me!). But the functions are there especially for a dude like me who doesn't care much about additional features. It's cheap! Yeah, there's no additional memory for this one (which means 16MB is already max). Plus the package doesn't include the headset and USB cable for computer connectivity. To make it more "manly", get the silver frame with blue covers!

    Also, no KEYPAD lock so be warned that if you put this in your pocket, the external shutter button might operate the camera and have pictures taken in your pocket!

    p.s. I'm a bit worried though with it's sturdiness. Does it really break at one drop or it doesn't even last for a year (as some users have put it because it breaks easily?)

      I was all set on buying this phone but on reading all of these opinions i have been severely put off. Everyone seems to have a bad thing to say about it!

        Phone was terrific for the first few weeks. Then it started freezing up, animated images started becoming glitchy, mp3 ringtone functionality would stop working until i reboot, and occasional random lockups. Crashes were at random times too, like when I pick up a call, or send a text message, or even sometimes when i just open it.

          by the way, when you're outside in the daytime, you reaLLy can't see your screen much. . you can't even read your message. . i don't know why. . maybe coz of the screen or LCD of the phone. . but when you're inside, it's pretty cLear. . it's hard to read your mesaages when you're near a bright Light or somewhere facing the Light. . the SAMSUNG and NOKIA phones work great even outdoors or in bright Light. . you can stiLL see and read messages. . i have 2 phones. . SONY ERICSSON T630 and NOKIA 6060. . NOKIA coLored phones are better quaLity when it comes to taking pictures and coLored screen. . the best fLip phones to buy is either a SONY ERICSSON or SAMSUNG. . not NOKIA. . they don't Look good. . i just wish that the SONY ERICSSON Z520 had a memory card sLot or more memory. .

                hello, people. I bought this phone. It's good, nice features. The only problem is the current games are being developed for a screen 220x176px.
                The camera is great. The extended size has very cool quality.
                I don't like 16Mb because i can't store all the music, but it's okay.

                good bye!

                        i'm also planning to buy this fone. its kinda cute.but still can't decide because i've read a lot of bad comments aroun here.
                        SEZ520 right now only costs more or less 8thsand here in the phil (in one of the stores in SM) with 1 month service warranty. i don't know the price if its for 1 yr. service warranty.

                              I got this phone in feb 2006 and it has been only 8 months and now the phone is playing up.The screen freezes,it drops out,makes stupid noises while i'm trying to talk to my partner.I sent it away to be fixed and they said it had liquid regression in the volume switch which i don't understand how this occured. But now they are telling me that if i put it through insurance i will not get the same phone back but instead i will have it replaced with a V600i. I think this phone is ugly and it isn't a flip phone but they are telling me the only way i can get a different phone is to compare the functionality of the seZ520 to the V600i. I think this is wrong as i don't want a phone that doesn't flip down... So Beware....

                                  ive been using it less than a year.roughly bout 10 months.no maybe nine.i was so estatic wen i bought it.it had evrything.bluetooth n infrared(most phones comes with either not both),u can record conversations n it's comes out clear.the camera is a bit gammy but hell it's a phone not a camera!n i could assigned diff lites n ringtones n pix to individuals instead of groups.n i loved the idea of opening the flip to answer calls.loved the whole phonebook system and the batt lasts long.evrything was in lala land UNTIL few weex ago the screen started going white and i hafta shut it off and on it and after much difficulty the lcd decides to work.then i cant close it as it would turn white again.it's at a reasonable pricing but then i'm now questioning it's life span..and sumtimes it hangs.but not for long but still the nonexistent screen is making my life that bit hard coz i cant read my messes and i have no clue who is calling or who im calling.all and all it was good while it lasted.well im plnng to repair this SE of mine n getting a SLVR L7 s a spare.sigh it's such a good hp to b wasted.it was good while it lasted..
