Samsung C520 Review

The Samsung C520 is a perfect example of style at such a little price! When first introduced into the market (here in Australia) it retailed for a mere AU$199.00! Now days you can pick them up (brand new) for just AU$99.00! How good is that?! The C520 was announced in April 2007 and was released a few months later. It's quite a small phone with measurements of 84.4mm in length, 45.1mm in width and 18.2mm in thickness.To top that off, it weighs just 74g! The display screen for this phone is 1.67 inches.

As for ringtones and such, unfortunately it can only handle polyphonic. Sorry, guys and gals, no MP3. Oh, and by the way, this does have the vibration function.

Colour-wise, the C520 comes in many depending on what country you live in. From what I have seen, it is available in black, white, red, pink and purple (white and red been most common). Samsung have managed to make a phone that looks smart, stylish and professional with such a small price tag! Gotta love that!

Yes, that's right, it's time for all that technical stuff. The C520 does not have a memory card slot which is a bit of a pain. It's in-built memory is 600MB and that is shared throughout the phone.

All that being said, I would say that this phone is for someone who is just after something simple that looks good and isn't a brick.
