    I can see the next version of Z520 would have a card slot and better quality screen, maybe 1MP cam. This would make a first ever decent CLAM SHELL SE.

                  I think sony ericssons are very reliable. The one I have gets fairly decent to landline quality reception even when I'm in buildings where it shows maybe only or 2 bars. As far as durability, they're sturdy at least the one I have is, it fell apart, pick up the pieces and works fine, little water here and there no worries. They have a unique style. I think this one will be really good. It has quad band meaning use any gsm network anywhere in the world, a first for any other maker than boring yet functionally sound motorola. A main tft 65k the same moto uses very vivid. The external stn might be not as good. I'll probably get if the price is right.

                    I think it's an incredible phone. I just want to know how much does it cost and when it comes out because I need to buy a cell phone and I want a really great one. What do you recommend?

                      this phone is bigger than the 7270 and 6170. and sorry to say this but its also bigger than the 6101. nice phone, but pretty huge from all the features its lacking.

                        This fone looks great, spec. wise though it aint so good, I dont kno why SE put memory card slots in so few fones these days? This would make an idea second fone if you want one with a great sec i would reccommend the Nokia N90. SE are good, and I have been a loyal customer of theirs for a few years now, but that Nokia blows the recend SE phones out of the water, including the W800 in my opinion

                          This is a great looking phone but like they said, there is no perfect phone. The loop antenna looks good but it only adds to the size of the phone and could be an inconveniense when place in the pocket or bag. Why didn't they just use internal antenna like what samsung is doing nowadays. And the external screen, it's only 4k, and worse it's only STN not TFT. Other than this two, I still like this phone much better than Nokia's 6101. Just saaw it and it's huge if you compare it with other clampshell phone in the market. Shows you that Nokia still has a long way to go when it comes to clampshell-type phone. Too bad, I thought they were going the right direction with their 2650 , 7270 and 6170.

                            Well I won't say this phone is crap. The thing that some of you people don't understand is that phones are targeted at different markets. The way I see it, this phone is an upgrade from the Z200, which was an awful phone...my T310 was even better than the Z200. Now back to the matter at hand...I'm a bit surprised at what you get with this lower end market phone, a 65K TFT screen, a camera of VGA status instead of a CIF. Video recording capabilities,Bluetooth, MP3 player, come on people you are getting some high end feature in a low end phone, what are you all complaining about ? I do agree, one would expect more built in memory for an MP3 phone but let's NOT forget, more memory means more memory, memory is crucial BUT it aint cheap. Some complain abount no memory card slot, once again, low end phone...furthermore, if the high end K700 didn't come with a memory card slot, why should a low end phone come with one ? Regardless of the 16MB which is small for an MP3 and video recording phone, it's still more than the K500 and K300 which are also MP3 & video recording phones. This is a vast improvement over the Z200 so quit complaining and start appreciating.
                            Now to comment on what some of you opinionists have said: to JOY: This is NOT a high end phone, how on earth do you expect it to come with a 2MP camera ??? think girl think
                            To MAAN, you said that if people's focus is on photo and video shooting they should get dedicated cameras and video recorders, well look at it this way, cellphones are very versatile these days, having a do-it-all cellphone save you additional expense of getting a standalone camera or video recorder, having them in a cellphone makes everything more COMPACT, no carry bags etc. But MAAN you are right, people expect too much from cellphones these days, for me, once it does a decent job I'm ok with it and won't need to look in the direction of buying the standalone counterparts.
                            To MATTHEW: Don't get me started. Never diss Nokia, Nokia set the foundation for Digital phones and the way I see it, they are still leading the way. Tell me which phones are stronger OR more reliable than Nokia ? Nokia's take hard drops & get soaked in water YET they still work like new. Furthermore, Nokia have MUCH better reception than SE phones. Sony Ericsson phones AREN'T strong nor reliable, I have gone through the experience of a T310, T610 & P800, they all disappointed me. Joystick & Buttons stopped working for the T310 and I am not a hard button presser. The same exact joystick problem occured for both the T310 & T610 and I wasn't the owner for the T610, I won't even go on to the high classed P800. The reception for all 3 SE phones are terrible too. Most of the time, I get 1-3 out of 5 bars for SE phones. Nokia gives 7 bars in the same PLACE, that's full reception and if it drops it's just for a second or two.
                            Nokia is the best overall phone anybody could buy. I will never buy another SE phone!!!

                                  what i wanna know is, does the Z520 come with usb cable?? the switchable covers are great, but if u have to pay a hundred for it (ringgit) it's not that worth it, especially when the features afford lots of space for improvement... it looks real good though. does anyone know..?? ;)

                                        Hopefully SE makes more Quadband phones into their higher end models! I hate always having to wait for them to release the NA 850 models so I can get reception where I've gotten used to. My provider is only putting up new 850 towers now, and no 1900 :(

                                        But this looks like a pretty decent phone if it's priced right :)
