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

Just wanted to tell everybody thar this phone offers a VGA camera, but does NOT allow you to make video clips. That's a small mistake. No hard feelings though. gsmarena.com is still one of the most reliable websites around.

i got this fone while on a holiday in sydney. i was attracted to the color 'coz it was very vibrant and very small compared to my other phones. its very convenient to use since i can just slide it in my pocket when i go out, no need to bring a bag.

i bought this phone yesterday (December 9, 2007) and it was so good. The specs and color matches to my car..and its a cool phone rather than nokia phones. When you have this phone..YOUR THE MAN!

Working in the telco ind. I know that phones can become quite unreliable with so many features. Something that is extremely complicated is highly subject to breakdown. That's physics! This phone is simple, looks good and great value for money. Another excellent product by Samsung.
