    I bought the Ericsson R520m mobile phone in August, 2003 in a clearance store for US$56 (or GBP 43). It was supposed to be brand new but for some reasons only the charger and the phone were in the package. I downloaded the software supposed to be on the CD from www.bennysoft.de (a must visit site for R520m user, loads of info + downloads). Featurewise, the phone is excellent even to-date. Phones with similar features but only added better ringtones & skins cost 6-7 times more, often with more fr ...

    The best phone ever made. All the functions you need (i don't need color). The best radio performance with IAT-10 (behind the 350gr R250s).

    When I first got this phone I loved it - feature packed and easy to use. My two gripes however mean I will be ditching it in the very near future - the software is very slow which means a slight pause with every menu select which soon adds up - and worse still is the reception which has got to be the worst of any phone I've had. Poor reception is also a problem of my business mobile - also an Ericsson - and not a mistake I will make again..

    The R520m is the successor for the R320s phone, a phone intended for the businessman. This means stacked with all the features they could find.
    First looks:
    * You will most likely encounter a "Streaking Silver" model, this is the standard model: a silver grey finish on the casing and the keys. The first 25000 phones were "Copper edition" phones, this is a mix of copper and silver on the casing and black rubber keys. Otherwise these editions do not differ from each other in any way.
    * The phon ...

    The R520m mobile phone appears to have been rushed out of the door by Ericsson and suffers from a slow processor which makes most use tedious.

    However... you get bluetooth, tri-band capability, a cool design (that actually feels like a phone - unlike all these micro-phones out now!) and a package that fundamentally works (despite the software speed).

    Be careful buying bluetooth PCMCIA cards for your laptop as the hardware seems to be a bit of a nightmare. After speaking to a guy in Ericss ...

    Overall i am very impressed with the capabilities of this Ericsson R520m phone and it's user friendliness. I have to admit that i was astonished at the speed of wap over gprs and the fact that you only pay for downloading is great considering the phone is constantly connected to the net. Great phone and i would recommend it to anyone either travelling to the states or living in the states.

    Great looking Phone, but the fault in the initial software leaves the battery life much to be desired. The R520m has recently been recalled by the Ericsson factory. Therefore I found it selling at a 30% discount in HK.
    I am using this phone's BT function from 5 metres with the Hewlett-Packard 545 Pocket PC plus the Nokia BT Connectivity Card (Symbol BT is identical) with no problems encountered.
    Using Visual IT's Simple SMS V2.0 excellent software on the HP545 with this combination saves your ...

    This was truly a dream come true for Ericsson fans. A great phone with all the features one could imagine. This has indeed been a feather in Ericsson's cap especially after much improvements from its predecessors i.e. R320s and R380s.

    The phone comes with an ultra slim battery that can give you one week of battery standby with nominal usage. This is the first time I have truly experienced a phone that needs to be charged once a week. Many other manufacturers would boast this in their brochur ...
