This is a excellent mobile. It still competes with todays mobiles (2001). The only bad point is its size. It is extremely reliable. I have not incured any mechanical faults in the 2 years that I have owned it. And for entertainment value, u can get a flashing aerial (good in night clubs ha ha.)

I really would recommend this phone as an excellent budget entry into the mobile world. It may not be dashingly handsome, it may cause your pockets to bulge that little bit more, but when your phone rings during a lecture the vibra-alert will save your blushes.

The Panasonic G520 has been in use in Oz for a little while now. It is an excellent phone, lighter and smaller than the Nokia 5110 for example and yet it has built in Vibra alert. This is a feature that many other phone manufacturers are only catching up to now.
Its immediate competition was the Nokia 5110 and you had to buy an extra battery to get the Vibra alert. Good reception quality and excellent value for money.
