Samsung D520 - User Reviews

  • its really excellent

  • Great 4nes.Only my 4ne cannot access Java

  • i have forgot my password, how can i change the previous password

  • I have D520 too. Seriously, this it a greet phone!

  • I forgot password for rest the sound setting of my cellphone Samsung D520. How I can to reset it now? Please help me, thank you!

  • ive had this phone for 4 years !!!! its still working fantastically its like i bought it yesterday i have had absoloutly no problems with it its the bestt. these new toch scrrens get broken or bad quality within the first year but seriously the D520 is the best , long lasting phone i have ever had :)

  • This phone is nothing short of spectacular! It's small, neat and good looking. I recently dropped this phone at an amusement park (Playland in Vancouver, BC). It fell about 8 feet onto some rocks underneath one of the rides. This happened on a Friday. We were unable to retrieve the phone over the weekend during a thunderstorm with unusual amounts of rain (even for vancouver). After the thunderstorm on the weekend, it was followed by 35+ degrees Celsius weather. We finally got it back on Tuesday after being exposed to the elements for 4 days and... it works perfectly!

  • I've had my D520 for 2 years (yes 2 YEARS!) and I still love it. I usually get the urge for a new phone every now and again although the new Touch/Multifunction phones do nothing for me. And they are far to big! The D520 does everything you need it to do with a few extras. I have the white version and it I believe it still looks just as sleek and stylish as most phones today (2009).

  • I have had my D520 for 3 years and it still works perfect. So reliable. It will be difficult to replace if it ever stops from working.

  • Great Phone! I used it for 3yrs and had a pleasant experience. It's easy to use, portable and most of all, it has great features. I love it!!!

  • this is best!! cellphone!! i wanna buy it!! i'm sure!!

  • Ahh, the D520 has been good to me. It's lasted a long 3-4 years or so and still functioning very well. It's only recently started to die a little (most likely because I dropped it a couple of times recently!) The sound quality for music is okay but not great, and the camera isn't as good as the newer phones (low mega-pixel, sensitive to motion when taking photos), but if you're in need of just a basic phone then the D520 is a great start.

  • It's known that the flex cable of Samsung phones breaks very soon. I used it for 1 month the dial key, c-key and menu key won't work any more, don't know if it is the flex cable, opened it does not seem cut? Anyone has the same problem too?

  • Great phone, i've used it for 2 years and the only problem I have had that its cable that connect to the screen cracked because I dropped it so many times.After get that fixed ,tt is still a very good phone for me. Yesterday I bought a Xperia X1 for my work and still keep this D520 for phone call.

  • A very good cellphone really.I used it for 2 years w it was so good & i liked a lot.very easy to use & very easy to buy too ;)

  • simply the best

  • i've been using for 1,5 years and it has the best sliding mechanism i had ever seen. period. great design, great size.. everything is great except that it lacks for memory card.

  • My 4ne stopped opening Java games folder sometime back. And now I come 2 realise even 4nebook can't open. Doesn't this forum have reviewers anymore? I believe my 4ne is "virused"!

  • just need mmc....... this phone is fantastic.

  • can some good guy come 2 my rescue. i downloaded a game on my 4ne from the net. but when i tried 2 open java to check out the game, i failed to access all my java games. since then 4ne just restarts whenever i open the java world folder. assist pleaseeeee.

  • Have had this phone for a minimum of at least 2 years. Like others have said, I have dropped the phone over a dozen times, and it is still working perfectly. Best phone I have ever owned. Looks great, slim, lightweight, and is a perfect size. Great reception, battery life is decent. Can use mp3's as ringtones. Built in 80 mb memory (holds about 20 songs). Not to be used as an mp3 player. so if you have an ipod nano for your music needs, then this phone is perfect with the only flaw being the camera which is good, but it would have been perfect if it was a 2.0 mp camera instead of a 1.3 mp camera. Texting is good. Bottomline: if you want a slim, good looking, lightweight slider phone for straight up talking and texting with an okay camera with mp3 ringtone capability, get it now. It would make as a great gift as well. I'm planning on purchasing another one to replace it whenever I have to.

  • i have it for almost 3years and it's working very well but my 1 and 2 buttons doesn't work

  • i have this phone for 2 years and it it still great! but the keyboard is pretty tough for typing..

  • I got this phone 2 years ago and my arrow buttons, OK button, my C button, and my call button does not work.

  • Got this phone way back November of 2006. Even to date, it still works PERFECTLY. Fell to the ground more than a dozen times already. No problems experienced.

  • I got this phone in silver, which was limited version, about 3 years ago and was working just fine until beginning of this year. My phone refused to charge the battery and my "c" button, "ok" button and call button are not working. It is said that the folder phone can be easily broken due to the systems inside were pulled so many times that it is broken. But I loved this phone and I think I used it long enough. It is said that Phone normally goes up to 2 years.

  • I bought this phone in August 2006, and only yesterday did I experience any real problems with it. For some reason it refuses to charge. I'm scared I'm going to lose all my contacts because the software for syncing to my computer doesn't seem to be compatible with my Mac :( It honestly worked perfectly for almost 2 1/2 years.

  • does anyone know how to activate the MMS on this phone? i get the message but i can't retrieve it. thanks.

  • i got this fone for 2 years and i dropped it in the toilet and on concrete and it works perfectly.

  • this is a fairly good fone good looking and can take a hit i drop my alot and ive had no problems i dont get wat some people say that there fones break for no reason they probly liein. but the camera is not great should be 2 or more megapixels and there is no memory slot but it has 80mb memory already thats about 20 or so songs buttons r small but still usable but i onle payed $80 for mine on sale best $80 ive ever spent all in all id give it a 7.5 out of 10 so its good but could be better. but its is a great looking fone in black

  • i have this phone. but i want to format my mobile if any friend know about it. please tell me. [email protected]

  • just switched to nokia 6500 slide from this phone. D520 was really nice. I had it for 1.5 year, dropped it twice while riding a motorcycle, nothing happened to it.

  • i have had this phone for about two years and it has worked very well. nothing is wrong with it. i have threw it and droped it for about 100 times and it is fine. Although i am about to get a new one. i want the sony ericsson w610i.

  • ive had this phone for 1 yr i had no problems til just recently. the menu buttons are not working, have to press them very hard 2 work this is frustrating because i cant get into anything without difficultly. keypad works fine. camera isnt the best.

  • i just bought this phone and i m very satisfied

  • i have had this fone for 2 years and it is the best fone i have eva had!!! great quality

  • does this fone have a card slot pls answer i thinking of buying 1 and is it gd???

  • Ive had this phone for just over a year now and ive never had a problem with it. I think this phone is awsome!

  • Hi. I got this fone from Overstock.com about 2 days ago, and everything is awesom... except the battery. I got the fone, charged it overnite, and the next day it died by 6:30 pm. is this normal 4 this fone? should i have let the battery completely die b4 charging it for the first time? should i return the fone b4 the return policy is up? some1 plzzz help! e-mail: [email protected]

  • So i'm planning to get this phone. and i was wondering if everything on the phone is good. no problems at all? because i read the reviews and some said it was horrible.. so i dunnoe.

  • i loved this phone when i first got it! i thought the games, camera quality, memory, bluetooth... ring tones, message tones, mp3 player was awesome! EXCEPT! within 2 months of buying the phone... it completely shut down and the buttons just wouldn't work so i sent it back and it took ages to get fixed and when i finally got it fixed by the next two months it just started randomly freezing... and completely shutting down and i would lose half of my txt, game, ect. so again a sent it back and it took even longer to fix... when i finally got it back i had it maybe a month... and i was careful with this phone coz it was my first phone and i really liked it but it had a few bumps and drops... like all phones. but one day i just pulled it out of my school bag and BAM the screen had somehow cracked...so i tried to get it fixed in warranty and they seemed to think it was physical damage that normally only happens if i had "abused my phone" WTF! so now they tell me it cost pretty much the same i bought it for to fix... PIECE OF CRAP!

  • Reasons not to buy this phone: 1. Camera quality is terrible 2. Only 80gb memory 3. Can not set voice records to ringtone/message tone. 4. When you delete and open videos/pictures etc it takes more than 3seconds to load 5. The buttons ware out easily 6. Battery life is bad (3 hours talk time) 7. Bluetooth can only save 5 recipents 8. Games are boring 9. Average price for the d520 is $200 rip-off should be much less. 10. This phone is the worst i've ever had (i usually like Samsung phones.. sorry. i suggest you buy the U700 instead.. plz e-mail me for any reason at:[email protected] thanks 4 reading

  • This is the best phone ever!..i got it last christmas and i just love it. The best thing is the camera and the frames you can have are awesome, i suggest anyone to buy this phone.

  • class phone - quick,reliable sharp screen, some website viewable. lack of emory but fine efficient phone.

  • I can not change the keypad tone. Really bad :|

  • you know, if i were to rate this phone, i would give the design an 8-9, features 6-7, and performance a 0 or 1. this phone is actually not bad. it looks sleek and it's very nice looking. HOWEVER this was the worst $225 i've ever spent. after less than a year (9months) the phone had so much dust that all the keys EXCEPT the dial pad stopped working. and because this phone is only offered in europe, if you have a problem - too bad. you can't get it fixed in the states. i have no idea how to even get the dust out. i've even tried to air it out with a can of air. :[

  • bleah the phone is available in white. you notice how the black phone has white colours for its buttons, the white phone has a green colour for their buttons.

  • Hi Michael, no it is not a problem, the phone comes like that and you have to change the settings. So go into settings --> Light settings --> External light. Switch it to 'off'. Now it shouldn't blink anymore! :) Let me know if you need any more help. I've had this phone for 3 months now and it works like a charm!

  • It is too fragile. My screen stopped working and they would not repair it under warranty because it had 'physical damage'. Well, it had been dropped once or twice (as all phones are). But if it can't tolerate that it is pretty near un usable. It is now in the bin.

  • Not a bad phone although about a year after i bought it the buttons stuffed up. The samsung d520 has a great range of features and the quality for the image/video is crystal clear. The other down about this phone is it has limited memory space(80 megabites). Other than that this is a fantastic phone.

  • Is this phone also available in white? And does anybody know this sad- sounding ringtone in it,and where I can get it? Thks.

  • I got this phone a few days ago and like it a lot so far. I can use my mp3's as ringtones unlike my old phone. Also, the sliding feature is quite nice and it is very easy to use. The only problem I have with it is that it keeps blinking. When the phone is on, it kinda blinks on and off on the bottom where you have the on/off button with the ok circular button. I don't know why it does that. The only time it goes away is when I turn the phone off. Does anyone know if it's a big problem?

  • For design, it's good I like. But features make me disapointe, no profile, no "vibrate and ring". that's why I haven't used any of Samsung so far.

  • I got this phone and it's pretty but I dunno how to put music in my phone from the computer can somebody help!! And there is only one ringtone!!

  • hey everybody can tell me how to delete the pasword in my messages and in the settings!!???pls. help me!!!!???t.s

  • I use my D520 1 year long and that phone is the best in my life! I have't any trouble with that phone. But maybe i chage for the U700.

  • hey i got this fone for christmas last year! its crap its way to limited with the feature. 1. cant change text tones to songs 2.doesnt vibrate and ring for calls our txt 3.no expandable memory 4.to slow in pictures 5.battery time is pretty gay 6.not enough memory 7.scratches easily 8.light stays on when its charging(annoying) 9.keys loosen up to much after a while 10.gets crap in the slider and hard to get it out ten good reasons not to buy it ! cheers

  • dual speaker !!!! earpiece????\111

  • I brought my Samsung D520 approximately 5 months ago and i have had nothing but troubles with it. I had it replaced FOUR times by Vodafone because of it being faulty. Now about a month ago it decided to break and the warranty being out of date for this kind of thing. At the moment i am contemplating whether to get the phone fixed, which may i add is a complicated and long process, or just get a new one. Not to mention it will cost upwards of $200 to fix, when i bought it it was $300. [B]I strongly recommend that you do not purchase this phone.[/B] :(

  • hey my friend told me about puttin games onto your fone for free using a code... im just wondering does anyone no wat the code is and how u do it... plz email my on [email protected] thanx for any help at all

  • plllllllllz help me i put a code on my files and i fot got it does any 1 no how to maybee put a speshal code in to unbloke it all ??

  • um is it just me, or are a few people getting that whole 'white screen' thing when u slide it down/up? cause yeah, ive sent mine away, vodafone in australia is terrible its been like 4 weeks or something since, and they cant tell me when it will be back.anyway, so i guess if ur gonna buy this phone, beware its faults.

  • Hayley, 0000 or 000000

  • Does anyone know how to fix the "white screen" problem?

  • its really a lovely phone could do with a bit more features but the greatest thing samsung needs to improve with this one is the battery quality could you please do that for me samsung

  • Mine just died, the battery is awful. The screen is white now and I see others have this problem. It was awesome when it worked - agree with others however - 1 - Needs SD memory card 2 - should vibrate and ring at same time 3 - OS a wee bit slow

  • Hi what is the pasword on privace meni for(mesages,pictures and something else)please tell me?Thanks anywere

  • uhm i waz wonderin how do you make the movies on your fone work on your p.c? thankz xOx

  • Lovely

  • alright, firstly if ur keypad tone is stuck on that annoying beep and u cant change it, go inot ur display setting and alter ur dialling display to normal, for some reason that unlocks the keypad tone and u can turn it off. but mine for some reason doesnt change the sound of the beep anyway, it just stays as the beep sound, kinda annoying. also, when someone rings you and it starts off quiet then gets louder, dont be afraid its meant to do that, some stuff samsung made to protect ur ears if u answer it right away or some crap. overall good phone but mine jsut died after 7 months.the screen is just white. hopefully warranty will cover that. later people.

  • How long do i have to charge the battery in the first time?

  • generally good but when charging the battery, the main display light is always on ,thats make full charge takes long time .

  • I got this phone a month ago and i just love it! It has great features and easy to use but the only problem was converting mpeg into an mp4 file on my phone can anyone help??

  • Love the phone, but still have 2 complaints. 1- Memory way too limited, i expected alot more memory in a phone like this 2- Texts tone are too limited. Should be able to use music tones etc as text tones too.

  • hey i waz wondern how 2 get a pic from my computer 2 my fone ,(using USB CABLE) ANY 1 NO HOW PLZ EMAIL [email protected]

  • hi i might be getting a samsung d 520 soon and i was wondering does it have a video camera becauase i no its got a camera.

  • Great phone, no problems at all....BUT my 'C' (cancel) button has got stuck..not totally stuck, but seems to be sticking slightley when i press it, does anyone know how i can perhaps get the top key pad off, so i can give it a clean underneath?? I've tried so many phone shops, and they seem to know nothing. please help!!! if someone could email me, that would be a real help- [email protected]

  • umm Im trying to put videos on my phone, its there and everything but when I go to play the file it comes up saying unsupported media, and Ive made sure its mp4. if anyone has an idea could they please send me a suggestion that would be great. thanks

  • A good phone but im still trying to work out how to download videos onto it could sum1 PLZ tell me!

  • very good phone...stylish design.it feels good in your hands.performs all you need on the phone...but this phone is not for media purpose.can store some mp3 but not that much.

  • Its slick, its beautiful, i've had it for 3 months and now the battery has jammed, it is no longer operational. Fate or a cause for concern?

  • I need to configure this phone. MMS settings, any one know the web address?

  • I got the pearl white one, not a bad phone but considering it's multi media capabilities it really should have a micro sd card slot as I ran out of memory with mp3s and vids in my first week.

  • Just input 1 as ur pin for the bluetooth connection prompt to make things simple .You should be able to create a connection after that. Im using SE k550 together with my presario laptop. I use bluetooth to send files between them, instead of using the data cable, although using cable is still faster in terms of data transfer. Wish u luck. Hav a gr8 tym.

  • What is the pin for the bluetooth? I had put in 0000 but it didnt work. Do I have to put in the other phones pin? please be so kind to tell me.

  • ordered this phone today after my motorola v1050 died on me. Shoulda stuck with Samsung from the beginning. According to the reviews, seems like a good fone, hope it doesn't disappoint. I paid $195 for mine.

  • this phone is really nicee...very pretty..i have it in violet black...nice mp3 playerr...sometimes it getz mad signal reception but i think itz becuz i have an unlocked phone...overall itz pretty goood

  • y have this phone and may think abaut this phone is ok.samsung is the best

  • Please HELP!!!How to transfer games that i have downloaded from net.to my Samsung D520 over USB????

  • How to transfer games that i have downloaded from net.to my Samsung D520????

  • i've had this phone for about a year now. it is one of the prettiest phones i've seen. i really like it (only wish it came in hot pink). there are a few minor problems... -it doesnt vibrate and ring at the same time -no holes to hang those dangly phone charms -reception is not that good (could it be b/c i have Cingular?) -cant hold a lot of MP3s -cant use headset and chager at the same time

  • how's the ring on this phone? is the sound quality loud and clear?

  • hi.. im gettin this phone today could u guys tell me if its good or not thnx

  • I love the feel of a slide - mine is WHITE w/silver. rather femine vs the black, but cant get it tweeked just right for cingular WAP yet. I will work at it - the IP only accepts numeric I copied my D807 but it has alpha web address entered in the IP space. I tried to copy line for line but the IP entry just baffles me- I am a novice & shop purely for looks, then feature & to impress friends that only wait/shop for available upgrade offers. Of course cingular does not offer exact model support so it will take time hit or miss -- I can call,send & record mp3 so its all I want for now! Samsung offers larger font -unlike my Royal Blue motorola RISR - Motorolas dont offer font size at all. My RISR is slender & uses USB plug for recharge rather convenient at work--- & all the rage with my crew of 24 att techs that I supervise - they think I am spoiled - they are right!

  • How do you switch your band because i have a Sony Ericsson W850i that cant find my network??

  • at first when i initially got it i was kinda scared b/c it couldnt find my network, then when i switched the band to 1900 it found it in a heartbeat, over all the phone is brilliant, it replaced a samsung t519 trace which i broke, camera is better, screen is good, reception is awesome in my area even tho tmo said i would only get 3 bars i got 5. only downfall the d520 doesnt have a microsd card slot other than that its not less than perfect

  • This is the best phone I ever had. Don't trust in any bad word saying for this phone 'couse this is something that you must have... I got all answers for your questions about this phone... This is great :o)

  • Got Mine from The Big "O and put my Sims card in the phone, and all it did was search and search and search. I made some network changes in the phone, and same results. I also received a funky plug that was Euro Based. Other phones I have purchased you put in the Sim Card and go to work. I would not reccomend this phone as it is not a good representation of the quality Sansung Produces. Back to The Big "O" for the D520 and back to my search to find a the of the best.

  • i buy this phone yesterday its good tho no memory card is its only disadvantage it have great looks and speed and really easy to use

  • Rachel: It can hold a lot, about more than 200 messages or so (maybe 250); the "15" messages is probably the messages indicated in your memory status which refers to SIM memory and not phone memory. :D

  • How many messages can this phone hold? Because I bought it today and it said 15 and that really can't right! My old ancient brick could hold at least 50 and I was expecting this one to hold a lot more! PLEAEAEPALEAPEAL help me... otherwise I'm returning this tomorrow!

  • i got the d520 a while ago and this problem has been bugging me... the rigntone volume is LOW. anyone know how to fix that problem??

  • Looks great, might be getting it when Kmart or Target has their 15% off sale. For those who cant get games onto their d520, I've done a little reasearch, try browsing through those forums, they seem to have a lot of information on installing java games to samsung phones (apparently it is very inconvenient on all samsung models) Otherwise, pretty sleek and sexy unit!

  • dearest joanna i'm sorry to tell you that any phone with bluetooth can be infected with a virus as long as it's activated. that's why you should always deactivate bluetooth and keep it that way unless you really need it. if you are infected then you have to bring your phone to samsung so they can re-intall the software.

  • dis is a bare fone blads!! im bare gonnah get dis bad bwoy... brrrrraaaaaaaappp!! whats yall bredrin tink??? reply back to RiChY....

  • i was wondering if anyone could tell me if thry had problems with viruses on their sgh d520. i think my cell is infected and i don't know what to do if anyone could tell me i'd be more than thankfull

  • Arite, got the D520 for christmas, love it, ideal !!! but one problem... can ive downloaded the cd rom disk so i can use my usb lead to put pictures on my computer from my phone. I downloaded the disk, connected the usb but its doing nottin? can anyone help SOON AS POSSIBLE. :( i want all my xmas pictures on my computer. zoooe xxx

  • Ive decided 2 use d520 4 a while. Watchin videos is grt, nice and clear . Camera is good, glad its got a flash unlike my z400 witch doesnt. Its grt that i can create folders. Only thing that bugs me is it gets very slippery wen slidin it up. I kp clickin web button. But apart fr that grt fone. Very slim and sexy.

  • Samsung D520 is a really nice phone. Has an MP3 Player and everyting. Only problem is that if u get the unlocked version of this phone, the signal reception is really bad in certain areas. I use Cingular, so I don't know if it's the phone, or my service. Overall it's a very nice phone. The looks are very nice.

  • Ive been using z400. But battery life is really bad. Is the d520 better. There seems 2 be more features in it. Is d520 a better fone and is battery life good in it.

  • Ive been using z400. But battery life is really bad. Is the d520 better. There seems 2 be more features in it. Is d520 a better fone and is battery life good in it.

  • I'm not familiar with Samsung's sliders (or any sliding phones). Can I answer incoming calls and talk without having to slide the D520 open?

  • I got the Samsung D520 White and I find it alot cuter than the black one (I find white to be more suitable for girls). I must say, it's alot after staying with a Motorola V3 Razr. It has a decent amount of space and you can easily customize it with the program. I think one thing that brings it down is that the battery life is rather short. Other than that, I totally recommend this model.

  • it lookes great but there a problem-it hasn't got a memorycard slot and for me that's a problem 'cause i can put on under 20 mp3's there. i got e900 because it had a memorycard slot :) but this phone is great too :P

  • Does anyone have any problem with messages? It seems that when I receive a message the name of the sender doesn't display, I only get the phone number. The problem is because the messages arrive with the country code while my contacts in the phonebook are without the country code, and if I change them in the phonebook then I won't be able to know who is calling me anymore (since the calling number is without country code.

  • Im Getting This Phone Tomorrow. Is It Good..? It Looks Kinda Ugly, Does It Look Better In Real Life..? Anything Bad I Should Know..?

  • uh can anyone plz help!! im getting this phone in 2days? and i relli want to know if there is a slot for a keychain on the phone!!! its realli urgent so plz email me ASAP!!! thanx

  • I am planning to purchase this phone shortly. I wanna know how small it is & if there is a phone lock on it.

  • I want to add to my first commend, You can change the sound of key pad back if you turn the font to normal.

  • I got this phone on last weekend. I am really like it. However, there are two small things I concern about. 1. Ringer could be louder. 2. The light is alway all when I charger the phone, eventhough, I turn the phone off. I don't think it is good for the battery in the long run. I had read in this forum someone said phone is off while he/she is charging, I hope he/she can post instruction how to set it. Overall, I like this phone. Oh, for those who want to turn off the key sound, Menu-sound setting-keypad tone-then chose off, but remember, since I turned off, I cannot turn on back again, somehow, the keypad tone button is stays gray.

  • Yeah,this is a tapping phone,very nice,and I would love to have one like this. +447011130528 or +447011135579

  • i have got this phone now for a few days , and so far no bad things, from the moment i got it i found way to get rid of the beeps when u press the buttons , i got good reception all the bad parts ppl say there is a solution for

  • Its a really good mobile easy to handel cute its got everything that would need for a quelit mobile 100% from me.

  • One thing I don't like about this phone is that you can't change the tones for the messeging, you are stuck with what is loaded to the phone from day one. I hope that someone out there comes up with some good ideas at Samsung and makes it possible for us to use whatever we like as a tone, being ring tone, SMS or MMS alert. Other wise I have found this phone to be a dream to use and well worth the $300 AU.

  • great phone battery stays for 4 days if you talk 1 hour and 10 min of video and 8 pic

  • Great phone and a nicer and smaller design than the E900, D900 ore D820. One negative point; no card slot, but with 80 Mb more than enough space. The 1.3 Mp-camera makes good quality pictures (displayed on computer) BTW: very nice and easy to use software with the datacable!! Always got back to Nokia after using a Samsung phone, but i know for sure, with the D520 i won't!!!!

  • hey um im looking to get this phone lol. im so excited that i have read like all of the comments people have said about it but im a bit worrie about wat people have been saying about how long it stays like charged for it not like crap charging is it???

  • Hi, im looking to buy this phone today but i was wondering how many messages the phone can hold? Is the outside a matt or shiney finish? thanks em xxx

  • i have the phone 4 three days now so far so good

  • I personally thought this phone was good when i bought it. But three weeks later one morning i turned the phone on and the screen was cracked from the inside. The buttons aren't well designed and the battery life is pretty poor. My old Nokia 6060 outlasted this battery life by about two weeks.

  • d520 is so cool mobile i love it the shape and style is much better then D600 D510.but it has not card slot

  • Hey everyone, I want to buy this fone, just a few questions is it true that reception isn't that good??? also is there anyother problems with this fone i should know about b4 i buy it?! please email me, i'm stressing over it and can't put my mind to it, need some advice! Thanks

  • I just got it, in white~~ I'm quite happy with it except for the battery life. One question. Somewhat stupid but, its been bugging me for a week now. Can anyone find the little hook that lets you strap on cell phone charms and phone straps? The samsung uk site says: "Dangleez can be attached to all Samsung phones except models D900, X820 and D830 (Ultra series)" yet I can't find it -___-" I'm starting to think I'm getting retarded. If anyone has seen it please email me~~ thanks V(^-^)V

  • I just discouvered the problem that everyone seems to have with the keypad tone. If you put the dialling display to normal, than u can access the keypad tone and change it. The phone is really grate and I have a special edition on white. But I would have wished to have a special place for the holder. Other than that I'm satisfied!

  • I have a question about the D520 owners. I can't change the keypad tone. It was possible in the begining, but then....I can not even acces it! Please help, I really don't like the tone and I would like to put it on mute.

  • hey everyone well im still deciding on if i should but the samsund d520 aand i dont knw if i shuld i love the way it looks slides up and even the camera on it but i still dont know if its good memory wise and by me reading all these comments im kinda having second thoughts can anyone giv me some advice please. thankss :)

  • im having trouble with my mms and wap. i cant send any multimedia messages. my dad has a similar samsung. and he cant either. does anybody know how to fix this?.

  • hey does anyone know where there is a hole for the keychain to put in?? thanks in advance

  • The phone is cool! The design is what I like most. When you hold it it gives a cool feeling and when you slide up the front pannel the feeling becomes very cool :) The display has great contrast! The camera is not the best, but better tha VGA. You can store about 20 MP3 songs. But as I said, the pleasure comes from design and feeling when holding and talking with it.

  • This is because u need to check the volume

  • I was thinking about buying this phone....can someone please tell me more about it?

  • the phone will buzz and ring at the same time if you chose default sound-settings from 12 through 20. Sound settings 1 through 11 does not have this feature. just set it to "tone" and it buzzes to the beat of the tune.

  • I just got this phone yesterday, and my camera will often freeze while in use or not connect at all when I try to use it.. Does anyone know what the problem might be and how I can fix it?

  • i love my phone to bits.....but...its so quiet, ive missed lots of calls as i cant hear it in my pocket or bag and why wont it ring and vibrate at the same time???....help

  • Please can someone tell me if they also have problems with phone reception?? I have changed the handset once and it's better than it was, but I still find that I have areas with no reception at all or it will drop a call. I've had the phone for about a month now and have got used to all the functions and I do love it, but I need to know if that's common or if I need to change the phone again. Would be grateful for some help. Alison

  • can anyone please help with the settings for MMS etc for vodafone nz. I cant recieve or send MMS messages or use WAP. thanks

  • oh and if you use your own pictures that you took with the phone or uploaded to your phone, you can not stretch it out and put it as a wallpaper. does anyone know how to make the picture fill up the whole screen when set to a wallpaper?

  • BEN LEE: Hey, this seems to be a universal problem. we are stuck with an anoying high-pitched tone. At first, i thought this was a bug, but then it really isn't. "keypad tone" refers to the alpha-numeric keypad and not the keys on the front of the phone. tones for these soft keys will NEVER change. As for the alpha-numeric key-pad, you ned to go to , , , and then change the to NORMAL. afterwhich, you can now chose a new alpha-numeric key-pad tone. Now isn't that a confusing thing for Samsung to do? Other than that, it is still a great phone. Best quality 1.3 MP camera yet on a phone. Enjoy!

  • Like it so far but: I cant save any phonebook entry in phone memory. First (with old software) i could do this, but I had few other problems (light on while charging, cant display jpg as wallpaper, only can mute key volume when displayed numbers are in "normal") which are now solved. Any solutions?

  • I just bought D520 yesterday. The KEYPAD TONE seems to be unaccessible!! I did not change anything. Initially I was able to select and get into KEYPAD TONE settings, but then now it is totally inactive and I could not select and get into it at all. Anyone faced similar issue? Pls help!! Thx

  • hi guys um i'm about to buy this phone but one thing...i wish to use this as a full-time mp3 player and it only has a talk battery life of 3 hours...will that be a problem? also is this a2dp compatible? i want to listen to music wirelessly with a bluetooth headset. thanks

  • VIBRATION AND TONE: I bought this phone 2 days ago and it rocks. i notice that, like myself, i got confused about this "vibrate" and "tone" mode. It is really not a problem. Just set the settings for "incoming call" "alert type" to melody. Most melodies vibrate and sound-off at the same time. The confusion occurs when you set it to "vibrate then melody", in which case, the phone will vibrate 3x and then play the melody. The only down side i find in this phone is its annoying key-pad tone which can only be changed if the "dialing display" settings is set to normal. I just set the key-pad to silent. Other than that, best value for phone at $223.00

  • The good about this phone: Nice slim and sleek design, filled with pretty okay features. It should have everything you need,1.3mp camera with flash, mp3 player, etc. The bad about this phone: -Even though it says dual speakers, they arent really loud at all. Most of the time I wont be able to hear a call in my pocket. -Screen light stays on while charging?? doesnt seem like a problem but i think it might be bad for the phone to have the light on for a long period of time. -Does NOT come with expandable memory, so you'll have to live with the 80mb that is embedded internally Overall its a Great phone for the type of people that doesnt mind the faults.

  • yes you can set mp3 songs that you transfer to your phone as ringtones, this phone hasnt really been accepted into a carrier (at least not in the u.s.) so you really wouldnt be able to download anything because there isnt any "t-zones" and etc in it.

  • why can't you download ringing tones on this phone. Are you able to set your mp3 song as your ringing tone? Cheers, holla back peace x

  • i had the phone for about 2 months but I CANT DOWNLOAD ANY RING TONES ON IT. i like the phone but it would be better if i could download ringtones. And for the guy that asked about the t-zones, try to call ur phone company...they should be able to fix it for you. HOLLA @ ME!!!!

  • Have this phone for the past week using the T-Mobile service in S. California. Great phone, like it so much more than my black RAZR when I was on the Cingular service. No complaints except for the problem of the backlight staying on while charging.

  • how to use dual speaker? ???????????????

  • how do you hook up the D520 with t-zone and the computer if T-mobile does not sell the phone yet?

  • This phone is alright. The makers of it though weren't really thinking of the end user though. Maximum 20 people per created group. (So I had to create two friend groups for mp3 ringtones.) The phone won't ring and vibrate at the same time, leading to a lot of missed calls.

  • hey..i got this phone for like 2 weeks its pretty good =DD the thing is.. i cant seem to find a hole or anything to put my cell keychain on...can anyone help me? thanx in advance =)

  • P.s does anyone know a website which has lots of good live photos of this phone apart from the newmobile site cheers.

  • Hey, does anyone know why thid phone isn't listed on the 02uk website?

  • Hi everybody. I just brought this phone two days ago. Quite nice and stylist. Any one can help me on. If the ringing tone can be louder or not. And also for the number that you r dailing a call. The font can be smaller or not. Bcoz is so big font. Pls help on it. Thanks anyway.

  • only downsider is price should be reduced because it only has 1.3 megapixel camera if it was �140-�145 that would make it worth getting.

  • to all the people who are complaining this design beats the d500/600/z500 design. This design is slim and looks amazing. Even though the features are not the best. You can have 10 mp3 songs. Which is fine if like me you have an ipod. Also if you dont want to spend a lot then this is serious value for money. Why because it has good games, amazng slim design, good video camcorder and good camera. I not buying z500 changed my mined prefer this design and I'am not too bovered about it only being 1.3 megapixels as the design makes up for it.

  • 1 other Query wwhy isn't this phone listed onsamsung uk site.???

  • P.s. considering its only a 1.3 megapixel camera are the quality of the pictures still good. Can you have your mp3 song as your ringing tone thankx. If you can then I'am buying this phone.

  • Heard you can have up to 10 mp3 songs on the phone which suits me fine as I have an Ipod so not to fussed. Games look good. Shame about the camera but love the design. This is the price I'am willing to pay for a phone. Still unsure about this or the z500 or the d830 which one is the best one out of those three. I prefer this design to the z500 as the z500 just looks like another copy of the d500/d600.

  • I saw this phone I tohught the design was amazing and fairly priced. But disappointed that camera is only 1.3 megapixels but it has Bobby Carrott. I may get this or the z500. Or I wanted the d830 but don't no how much it is on pay as you go asd it is not on 02 etc... Are the features on this phone good even though it is only 1.3 megapixel. I'm glad it's only about �140.000 because phones like d900 are way too expensive on pay as you go.

  • this phones good, but how the were the hell can you get a USB cable from

  • hey does anyone know how to block calls from people? i know this phone has the feature of block messages, but can i block incoming calls? thanks

  • I have had this phone for a while now and i think that it works just great. ilove the way it works and how everything is set up. the features were pretty amazing. the new mp3 picutrue and camcorder is great

  • this phone makes a person look sexy

  • I have a problem with the Samsung PC Studio, I can't save to my computer the multiple message...Does anyone noticed the same problem?

  • 176/220,but does anyone know large of display in mm

  • Im an Australian user and recently bought this phone in hong kong. I cannot change the keypad sounds. The phone doesnt give me the option to do so. Is this normal or does my model have a virus or something... Any info would be greatly appreciated.

  • Does anyone know: If this phone has a log for outgoing text messages that you send? My currect samsung phone only has incoming.

  • Hi, I recently got this phone and having bit of a problem getting reception. it could be my area or it could jus be this specific device. does anyone else have a problem with the reception.. ??

  • Well, i can change the keypad sounds without any problems. No bugs. Only that, there isnt any downloads yet. Hopefuly it will change soon...

  • I have lost all of my multimedia settings i can send or receive any pictures do you have the setting information i need.

  • Regarding this problem: 1. you cannot change the sound of the keypad tones (even if has 5 choices). it reamin blocked with the annoying "beep". i dont know if is a bug of all or only mine is blocked. To all the people experiencing this "annoying beep" I explained it below to christine. 1. Go to Settings > Display settings > Dialing Display > Font Type and set it to normal instead of the quill or sticky note. Then, when you dial and such...it will be the tone you have chosen in the keypad tone option.

  • i have this phone ans i think its fine. Some people say light does not turn off when charging but mine does. anyway a good and simple phone.

  • i have this phone and it is silver so you should use this info too because me for example prefer it

  • so far so good.. for design.. probs lies with the tone. cant use mp3 as alarm and their default alarm tone seems not loud enuff to wake me up. lol.. i can nv hear the ringing tone whenever its inside my pocket wif a handphone pouch.. i hate it when the ringtone only come after the vibrations, that i might as well put it to silent mode right??? therefore feel like changing to SE phones unless someone ard here can recommand sth else better from samsung coz really love their slick design =)

  • does this fone have confrence

  • gosh, im planning to buy this phone. WHhat i notice with samsung compared to sony, nokia, etc... no matter what comment you will make...ONLY samsung that has a block list option in the messages option.. Nokia has a keypoo lock with security lock. EVERY BRAND has its own specialty. SO to all users, BE wise in what u wil buy, DONT be deceive in what u see. Check first what you will really need most... FOR ME, i want the blocker list, so thats why i choose samsung. My next option is nokia. we all have our option. DON'T blame the company, blame urself!

  • This phone has good menu and slim and small it's like samsung chocolate. but the only problem that it has you get the dust and the dust goes inside your screen. it really bother and i spent 270 dollars. also samsung T809 or D820 or D840

  • This phone is awful, the camera suck's, no cardslote haha

  • I've had this phone for about 3 months now and I have to say, I've gotten so many comments on it. About the user's comment below, when its on stand-by mode, you can hold one of the arrow keys on the side and it will show you the time. One thing that does get frustrating is when the phone is charging, the light stays on the whole time. Another disadvantage is that there is no card so the phone only holds 10 mp3 songs. Otherwise, GREAT phone design-wise. AND IT CAME OUT BEFORE THE CHOCOLATE, SO SHUTUP LG.

  • design-wise, it's good and slim but there are some stupid usability issues with the phone. (1) in standby mode, no time is shown.. usually should should in black (2) T9 tries to be TOO smart. pushes the most frequently-used word to be top of the list, so the order is messed up (3) lights up when charging.. WHY?? really stupid. but then again it's samsung, what can u expect.

  • Does anyone have a problem with opening photos and music, my phone stops for a second and then opens music or image...

  • This phone is very handy with its flash on the camera,music player ,video recording ability and much more features.I have had this phone for a week and couple of days and i have got complaments non-stop.I have to say that this is the best phone i have ever had in all the phones that i have owned.

  • does anyone know how to set the phone to not stay lit up while charging ?

  • Does the D520 have stereo bluetooth (a2dp) support? Thanks!

  • plzzzzzz can sum 1 tell me wat the camera is like is it the same as d500 cam. and how much on pay as u go

  • can you customize your own message alert tone on this phone such as mp3?

  • I am using this phone(Samsun, D-520) for the last one month the performance is exellent and very light weight, yet i wish a cable connection from and to to PC would help fast down and upload of MP3 and other files.? I wish a cable connection with software for afore said service would be appreciated by samsung Fonders.? Best luck!

  • been using this phone for about 1mth plus. So far no prob. Only a few weeks using D520, the battery not reliable. The most is about 2 days.. but now, seems okay..(4-5days) w/o play your MP3...

  • I purchased this phone last week from my mobile shop in Spain I loved it but when i went to access email or sent photos it would not let me. The shop that sold it to me told me that it was imported and not yet available in Spain yet I have read that it is now available in Europe. Help as I do not want to change the phone.

  • very stilysh. if your 1st choice is on look buy this phone. looks like LG Chocolate, but with 50% less money.is you are after functions, buy nokia 2 problems: 1. you cannot change the sound of the keypad tones (even if has 5 choices). it reamin blocked with the annoying "beep". i dont know if is a bug of all or only mine is blocked. 2.after you have more then half of memory full does not read anymore the .xls documents

  • can anyone tell about the ringing volume of d520 is it louder

  • Hey does anyone know how to solve this problem, when someone tries phoneing me, their phone just keeps bleeping and mine doesnt do a thing

  • i like it

  • Your very welcome christine =) As for some of the problems posted above: Samsung phones usually or at least the ones I've used, don't allow vibrate and ring tone at the same time. It usually vibrates first (about 4-5 times) then it starts playing whatever ring tone you have it set to. My phone doesn't remain lit when charging. Maybe you guys can turn off the back light in the settings.

  • regarding the battery life, i once had a problem with the battery. goes from full to empty in 2 days. found it weird, then i got a new battery from the service centre, and now my fone can last 5 days, with normal usage, without listening to mp3. oh, i'm changing this fone, cuz i'm fed up with the ringtone, cant hear it even when it's in my pocket!! hence, vibration has to be on, (for me), which saps battery life! so for me, BYE!! to this d520.

  • I think this phone is ok. Really lacks features like being able to call a person on their alternate number. I don't want to view the record, I should just be able to press right to dial. Also the phone doesn't allow you to ring and vibrate at the same time! You can't even customize the message tone. And why does the lcd stay lit during charging?

  • OMG... HEY E46, THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR SHOWING ME HOW TO MUTE THE KEYPAD TONE!! by changing the dialing display, i was able to see the other options for keypad sound. now i can finally MUTE! that is so weird, but anyhow... thank you thank you sooo much!!! =)

  • I am considering buying this phone, Does anyone know if there is a slot where I can include a phone strap with this phone?

  • I just bought the phone today and I seem to like it very well. All phones pretty much have the same damn functions and skins. At least this phone offers new text msg tones. About the keypad noise you guys are talking about, I think it will always remain on unless you change the dialing display to normal font type. Then you will be able to mute the keypad or change it to something else. Im not sure if the d520 is the same since here in HK, it's called d528. Great phone so far....way better than my old motorola razorv3. But I still miss my d500...it broke a couple months ago and I also brought it back to HK to fix...hope it revives itself.

  • It looks great but is it better than D800?

  • I think this fone is ok but not all that. I bought a Nokia 6280 las week and that is a must have. My sis' bought the D520 and trust me it is not as good as you may think. Check out the Samsung E900. ...Classy!!!

  • i am having the same problem... i can't mute the volume key. IT IS DRIVINE ME CRAZY!! also, when i charge, the screen remains lit up. Anyone else having these problems??

  • its 2 gd 2 b true mp3 awsum speakersd heavy camara to clear slide to light nearly flew out ma hand lol its wiked anywayz tri it!!!

  • Hi, I am in U.S. and i wonder anywhere i can get this phone online except ebay, i had bad experience buying phone on ebay. any problems encounter with this phone? short live battry?

  • hi guys, i have a question, recently i just bought this phone, but when i tried to turn off the keypad sound, it wont let me do it, why is that so?? is this one of the designing bugs they had??? i wonder if anyone out there have the same problems as what i have encountered right now, please reply, thanks a lot!!!

  • Anyone find annoying on the short-lived battery? I fully charged my phone overnight before first use. But, after I talked on the phone for < 30min, took a few pic ( < 5), did not play mp3, and left it on (stand-by) for 2-3 days ( I turned off the phone at night when I sleep), I need to recharge again within 3 days...

  • What is the image quality?

  • I have used this phone for about 4 months now. And I love it so far. It's not as much of a stunner as the LG Chocolate phone, but it's VERY easy to use, and fits right in your hand like a glove. I've used the Motorola V3i, the D500, etc.. but I still think this is awesome. It looks good, feels good, works well :) Would highly reccommend it~~

  • Did sombody know how the bluetooth option is working? Pleas answer me!!

  • I purchased the D520 and returned it a few hours later! I have a E350 and the format (skin, ringtones etc) is exactly the same!

  • i don't get it. why did samsung bother releasing this, the d510 has pretty much everything the d520 has, plus a memory slot even though its a year older. why is this model more expensive?

  • good enough for me. memory enough for mp3,pictures..etc. had this for a couple of weeks and further comments. no 'profiles' like nokia's phones,only three choice of ring types. But slim and light enough for pockets, very clear screen, dust will not get into the screen unlike nokia's, loud enough with good vibration. I like it!

  • i now dis fone is da next level up but i stil proffer the D500. i tink the d500 is da best. Do u. Just ta tel all dose readers visit www.habbohotel.co.uk for a great chat room and entertainment

  • i work in the link n i think this fone is great customers luv it and i make at least �12 everytime i sell 1

  • hey i'm debating between this phone or the D800. Which one should I get!?!?! I want both! man I'm being greedy but both of them are nice.

  • Samsung mobiles truly understand the wants and needs of our active consumers. The D520 is a slender mobile solution with all of the latest applications. Samsung is excited to present new slim models to our customers around the world, and we will continue to reveal new models to fit our customers� needs.

  • It feels great to know that samsung is always working hard to know what there consuemrs want and making it happen.

  • the design is great but I wich it was shorter

  • For missed calls etc. you can press the buttons on the left press and hold and the light flashes on and tells you youre missed calles and sms

  • Can the message tone change to mp3?

  • I got this phone yesterday. It seems pretty good, BUT how the hell do I get the time, missed calls and text symbol to display after I slide the lid down and the display turns off. This is really annoying! I cant find the option for this anywhere. Please help

  • anybody can tell me how to totally switch off the keypad tone for this model?? it can only lower the volume but not switch off?? =(

  • i got the d520 a few days ago and it is a really good phone no faults about it would defenitly reccomend it to anyone but mabye not school kids as the phone is vauluable xxx

  • I seriously think it is a good phone... anywayz, there are many plces that can be improved like expandable memory, card slots and shorter slide. I just got it yesterday and fell in love with it. it is slim and tall. if anyone plans to buy it, i have no comments but 80mb is just not enough. and the speaker quality is bad and soft. Suggestions, purchase the samsung d-510. it is way better and convenient to use as my brother is currently using it.

  • I brought the phone one month ago and each time I charge the battery the screen light up even fully charge. Can someones assit to solve this problem?

  • Cool mobile... just made to last./.....

  • The Link are doing this phone for �199 on Pay As You Go on T-Mobile. The Samsung D800 in White Is also on Pay As You Go in The Likn for �259...

  • This phone and the D800 are exclusive to The Link in the Uk - nice phones though. Matt (Link employee)

  • i think its a cool fone. i jus bought it dis afternoon. its sleek and slim. i love the design. thumbsup!

  • I think it is a good phone, I just bought it and I am enjoy with the phone. No doubt it has something leave behind, eg Memory card, but overall performance is acceptable, plus it looks like IPOD MP3, isn't it?

  • Hit shops in England too I noticed, I've only seen it avalible in The Link.

  • Its not nice looking....D820 is better plus theres also a transflash slot in the D820..And the D820 looks better

  • This item is now available in USA. You can order yours on eBay.

  • too bad it lost the transflash slot

  • Where did you get the phone? Korean CDMA model or the GSM?

  • at the end of the day its a great looking phone that will sell. samsung know this so thats why they are doing it, its cool go with the flow

  • Available in Europe as of today!

  • this phone dont have infra red

  • just got the phone! I love the design and features. Only one thing troubles me.....how do I put GAMES (and applications) on it. Is this only possible through websites? You can't share games with friends? (*as could be done with nokia?) Still love my samsung! Thnx!

  • man you're off your frickin rocker. No other phone comes close??????????????????????

  • I love the D520 I think it is great phone - No other handset comes close, its so much slimmer and thinner than the D500 or D600 and feels great in your hand!!!

  • Here is the korean version next to LG "Chocolate".

  • If it has to look like D500/D600, then whats the point of releasing it? I like it thin and square.I would rather opt for this design over roundish D500/D600.

  • it looks rubish compared to the d500 and d600 to square boring and dam right crap

  • basically 15mm thin d500.

  • yo Korean boy BS this is not chocolate fone.. go to this website: this is the tyte chocolate fone

  • From this specs posted here this world version (D520) of the korean SPH V8400 will be GSM. But from what I know the SPH V8400 is only on CDMA2000 am I right?

  • this is chocolate phone~

  • Samsung released this design as SPH-V8400 in korea in October 2005. Infact Samsung releases all their phones in Korea first.It takes so long time to reach those to the rest of the world that people start saying they copied someone else. Its sad.

  • below guy is correct. not another D500!! look at the design bro.

  • they are not making the phone for the universal first, this phone already came out to Korean market with the name as slimslide phone. they just want to announce this phone to the world, and choose the name as d520, cause its not good as d600 for spec.

  • D600 was successor of D500. Then D510 was successor of D500. Now D520 is successor of D500...What are you doing Samsung ? Saw this phone. It looks good

  • I thought D600 was similar to D500. now they're making D520 ?

  • I would rather like this design over D500. D500 was too round.

  • Why exactly did they create this phone? probably a leftover

  • D500 in another design.........
