$20 phone.. too cheap for its capability.
FM radio.. VGA camera not so bad.
the only thing is.. you need a separate USB cable suitable for this phone which i will find tomorrow if i got any luck

Battery standby .. 3 days
If you use it frequently maybe 1 and half day
too much calls.. 1 day.
you talk all day.. you got 2 or 3 hours straight
then its dead.. now you recharge it

now.. who the heck talks for straight 2 hours???!

it vibrates first before it rings the tone..

so it vibrates for about.. 5 secs.. then you will hear the ringtone.. thats how it works.. it has few selections of ringtones.. i recommend you choose the tone named COOL..

btw. Im from Philippines i bought this phone for P700
from P1000 being offered to me

it doesn't have too much things too do with the phone it is so ugly i cannot upload photos to any websites. it's charging slot and usb slot is in just one slot it is very ugly!, Nokia 6020 is much better than it. the recording time is just 30 seconds and cannot play it on loudspeaker..

Question for users: I don't know how I did it, but when I get an incoming call and I open up the lid, it automatically answers the call.
What I want is to be able to open up the lid and answer or reject the call from the green / red keys.
How can I set it up so that it doesn't automatically answer incoming calls anymore?

i got the phone for 1000Php or around 20$, and its really worth the price... very simple and cute... this phone is not intended for taking pictures, nor playing music, but for the basic use... but hey, samsung's way of presenting their low end phones is quite luxuriously basic.. and so love it.. its camera and fm radio is presented as rather an accent and not a feature... its looks is presented as rather basic but elegant... long battery life... loud earpiece and loudspeaker... perfect for those who like simply-elegant basic phone... hail samsung c520... I LOVE IT!!! weeeee....

Hi,
I cannot download my photos with the USB as the PC does not recognise the phone. I have read that other users have also had this problem. Does anyone at all have the definitive solution to this problem. Happy Xmas to all from Greece

@chowder:
Try to compare C520 to N7070 first, then determine what you really want. Here are some cons of N7070; 1. n7070 is heavier about 78grams. 2. No Radio. 3. No Camera. 4. No. USB (for c520 you need to buy data cable PCB113).

~Hope it helps.

@cute_set: Yes it has a vibration mode.. actually it functions when the c520 is at the silent mode, it vibrates when there is a new message received or an incoming call.

~Hope I answered your question.

well, i've got it earlier this month of july 2009, and i thought that this is one of the brand new model of samsung and i don't know that it was launched last 2 or 3 yrs. ago. Anyway, i was attracted to its clamshell design, yup... i looked at its specs and i find it really not so glamorous unlike other phones... BUT, i liked its simplicity of making calls and sending sms. As for me, i can send mms to other networks, the vga camera seems clear to me, though i thought it has video either but still it has a camera. I can listen to local fm radios, yup one of my favorites... For me, this phone is for using what it really meant to be. Perhaps if you want a unit that has so many features you buy the modern 2009 models of samsung and not this phone... but i highly recommend it for simple people like me who uses phone as it is..

Great phone For older people
The Numbers on screen are very large and easy for people with eyesight problems to see.
Basic phone but my elderly mother can use it no problems.
