It's quite solid - and at least noone's ever going to want to nick it from you. Cheap.
Bad Points
Texting HELL. Heavy. Bulky. Ugly. Not so easy to use.
General Comments
The MAIN problem on the Motorola C520 mobile phone is texting. Whilst writing a text, it's SO easy to press the Volume Control key (next to "1" for "space") - upon which you have to start writing all over again! So, you've managed to get to the end of your message (well done!)- but can you scroll through your address book to find the number to send the text to? OF COURSE NOT! You have to remember ALL the numbers you might text to, or carry a pen and paper at all times, or your address book. Or, you might be Einstein in which case it's not a problem remembering all these numbers. And what if you receive a text message - can you reply? NO! You have to write a new text from scratch and hey presto you had better remember that number. It drives me CRAZY and I sometimes think it must be worth spending an extra £100 on a better phone as I will probably spend this on therapy later because of this one.
Other bugbears include the fact it doesn't recognise numbers often, it's heavy and bulky, battery is not v good, and it's hard to navigate inside the settings.
The only good thing about it is that it was cheap. I really, really don't recommend you buy this phone unless you only use it occasionally and only for calls.
