out. I was using the phone for gaming, video & photo capture, playing the media player functions, and of course, talking with friends.

i think if u use that much then its normal if it drains quickly... do u use it really often? just try to let it standby... then see how long it can last

Does anyone know how the reception is on this phone? I have used the S200 and I thought the reception was very bad!

I'm very like it. I like it design and have light around the phone when have incomin call and sms but i don't like that limiting to 16MB only and not really small size. I would buy it if its function is same as K750i or W800i.

Phone looks good, but what about the speed of the UI? I have a Moto V505 and it's slow as dirt. How are the SE UIs? Also, does the phone Vibrate & Ring (not Vibrate Then Ring)?

Battery life in any mobile phone is determined by whether the user follows to letter the pre use charging guide, u buy it, then u charge it for the specified time and THEN you use. u dont use it then charge it for an hour and then use it some more etc, and expect batt life to be anywhere near as good as specified!

Well it was about time for a vendor to produce a phone that is as stylish as this one and it does not have an expensive camera but comes with bluetooth/infrared/USB. Definately the best buy I ever did on a mobile phone.

Battery life of the Z520i is terrible. I bought the phone 3 days ago, and I had to charged it everyday!!! It last only 1.5days maxs. At 9.00am the battery level was at 90%, by noon 60%, by dinner time only 45%. By 9pm, all drained out. I was using the phone for gaming, video & photo capture, playing the media player functions, and of course, talking with friends.

I guess the battery will drain out faster if I were using bluetooth. Anyway, I think the actual talk time is only 2.5hrs. Nice phone but lousy battery. SE should have throw in the save battery mode, that most phone has. Really sad,

does the battery life really last for 9 hours?
it seems like the longest out of all phones.
what is the main diff between the 520i and 520a..
i know one is international, one is america...
but is there any diff in reception? menu? operation?

I love this phone, but ... does anybody know how well it performs concerning signal reception?
I have had several phones and noticed that they can strongly differ in the ability to receive signal.
Where I live; signal is poor, VERY poor. Most phones do not even work in my house, I have to go outside (isn't that fun in the winter?), a very few phones get 1 bar in the house,... so the question is: how well does this one perform?
