Motorola C520

I have been looking to buy this phone again. I enjoyed the reception it has. Also have enjoyed it's durability. I still owen this phone for over 15

years! It's still in pretty good shape. When I go to the mall, The people that sell phones can't believe what they see. I get caleed over and am told

WOW! It still works? Can you tell me where I can purchase this phone.

I got mine @ a flea market 15 years ago and paid 5.00 dolaars for it!

Please let me know. Pleasesend info. to me @ [email protected].

Thank you.

Like the phone But falls out of pocket loads of times but overall a good phone

Well, it is relatively easy to text on it, but you have to memorise the phone number to send a text, as u can't access the phone book from message editor.

I've had the Motorola C520 mobile phone for 3 years, and it still works, despite dropping it numerous times! It's much sturdier than some of the current flimsy phones. The keys are well spaced, which helps texting, but you have to enter the person's phone number each time, even when replying. If you suddenly forget the number, you have to save the message, then go back to the phone book and memorise the number before sending the message. There is also no vibrate. As long as you only want the basics and can put up with the size (you cannot sit down when it's in your side jeans pocket), the phone should last for years.

Overall I think this Motorola C520 is a prety good mobile phone. It's good for phoning and storing numbers like any other phone and is quite good for a first timer.

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.

Overall i think this Motorola c520 is a very dodgy mobile phone and wouldn't recommend it to any teenagers!

I think the Motorola c520 is an alright phone because it is easy to handle, but it should be a little smaller and lighter.

I would give it 9/10 for overall rating.

The motorola C520 is an ok phone i guess if you're after a basic phone and size ain't a problem, but if you're a young spud after summit trendy obviously this ain't a good choice. I had mine for some time and although not the most appealing phone to look at they are well built and was solidly reliable. My mother just recently got a mobile which has more button configurations than enough which was a task for me to work round nevermind her, a phone like the C520 would have been an excellent choice for such a person.

I'm using one of thesemotorola c520 'bricks' because my Nokia 8210 is broken. And although it works and enables me to make telephone calls, its a complete nightmare!

My first mobile phone was a Motorola flare 5 years ago, and this is basically the same phone. All the menus and all the features are exactly the same.

What has Motorola been spending their R&D money on recently?

The most annoying feature, is not being able to use somebody's name when sending a text. You have to get their number from the phone book, memorise or take a note of it, then type in your message (allow 4 hours), and finally key in the number. What a pile of!
