Samsung F520 - User Reviews

  • considering this phone was cancelled and never sold to public, no

  • this is indeed an innnovation from Samsung - dual sliding mechanism with no other handset to match!!!

  • can i use skype from bangladesh with this set

  • just google it and you will find the answer you were looking for.

  • this phone is SOOOOOOOOOOOOO cute! I want it so bad! Is it even for sale anymore?

  • Can anyone answer when I ask why this phone was cancelled?? Would it be available at all??

  • This is really a cool phone. I would really buy this phone for me,but why was it cancelled.

  • this is a good fone, but very disappointed that they(samsung)cancelled building & producing this item.a very down low to samsung :o(

  • why did they cancel the making of this phone?just from its features alone, makes it a crazy phone, then the fact that it is a dual slider with a 3 megapixel camera. this could have been a very hot seller in stores. i would definitely wait in line for a samsung f520 and was looking forward to until i saw "cancelled"

  • Umm didn't you notice that this phone is cancelled? But you can get the F700 which has basically the same features as this.

  • Hey guys, im from Peru that take place on south america, i would like to know if i buy this celphone, can i use it in my country? i already Know that depends on the bands.. but meaby you can teach me about that, On my country we have two Bands on two differents companies,one of them use the band 850 ( Movistar company) and band 1900 ( claro company ) just i wanna be sure. Please give some advices, and please will be better if it's from experience people. thank you and sorry for the mistakes but i tried my best. Anyway this is my mail [email protected] please write me there if you find something that could help me. thank you.

  • its been more than a year since the last time its been announced & still it havent released the product itself worldwide.a lot of people are looking forward to get this fone,but the thing is that as time goes by,new ones are starting to come out already & everyone's start to lose interest of it.im very disappointed that samsung havent exposed it worldwide & im sure that other people would feel the same way as well."wake up to yourself samsung!!!!" ):O(

  • korean version most better.Samsung just let other country use his crap only.how about u just sell ur brand only in korea, we'll bann ur brand either.

  • 3D accelerator??? so wheres is the FONE!!!! come on not just in korea what about the hungry americans and europeans!!

  • Is there an official release date as of yet

  • samsung is the slowest to come out with everything!!

  • i really want to get this fone...i don't mind waiting!! but one was released this year similar to it..F490

  • aw! i really love the design of this phone! can't wait to see it! maybe other brand will copy the design of this phone.. :).. hmm...i think so..

  • i found some what of a replacement also from samsung it is the samsung i760 thats with verizon

  • wow it was announced last year when will this be released!!!!

  • i love this phone but when would it become? the feature are too good i mean better than my i450

  • Just read about the specs about the phone this mobile might be nice but 3 mega pixl cam.... not like the iphone or viewty...

  • damn that shit is SEXY i want this.haha but im stuck with black lg shine

  • great phone, but its been announced for about 1 year! when are they gonna release it!?!

  • this fone looks beautiful indeed good features but id rather go for a sony ericsson

  • Hi, I am from Singapore. I saw this phone. Its a BEAUTY. Some of you are right. Its gonna beat Nokia for them to WAKE UP!! Good talk time, OK camera MP. BEAUUUUTIFUL design. The best for them to delay is to add in Symbian or Microsoft. Then it will be a great business phone too.

  • i think u culd buy it unlocked for like 7 or 8 hundred bucks i want it really bad but i cant afford that

  • wow, where is this phone? someone said it was like the Samsung Armani but that is not 100% true as the Armani model is NOT a slider as this one is, quit dragging your feet samsung and let this beast out

  • ""currently "so called" the BEST multi media phone now in the market any nokia fones are no match no match"" - according to my korean classmate. i wonder what happened is it bcoz of its multimedia capabilities the main reason for its delay???,coz nokia is making a fone that could equal its capbilities and together will be release in the market??? but what my korean clsm8 told me "its some sort of market strategy, but not from samsung but from other multi national corp." thts why i suspected that nokia is behind all of this!! let the fone OUT and shine!!! o please!! --plz

  • does anyone know what is happening with this phone? is it coming out?

  • i think this phone was cancelled

  • Great phone,but missing the Wi-fi and GPS apps that all new phones have.

  • i think you should check armani fone plss...

  • i think the production is suspeded, because this fone has exactly same design,same specs as the armani fone which maybe armani bought this samsung design and put armani logo insted of samsung which they say a cooperation project between samsung and armani. well i doubt it armani dont have knowledge bout tech business he only know cotton and linnen and silk etc.

  • This phone is Hott!! I can't wait for it the come out!! The only bummer is the price. $698.50 in us dollars!!! And its suppose to come out November 12. This phone is really nice but i dunno if its worth almost $700!!

  • Does anyone know the battery life for this phone?

  • I will wait 4 more weeks, if still not released.....buy Nokia or SE

  • i really want this but i cant find it. where the hell is it?? i have been waiting for too long!!! this phone is too good to pass!!!

  • its coming to the US with most likely AT&T they anounced Begining of OCtober.. still waiting

  • I really hope it is around 350~400Canadian Dollar.... I badly want to get this babe as soon as possible!! OMG!!!!PLZ BE economical on the price!!!

  • this is retailing for 350usd.

  • damn! why do they keep pushing the dtae for this? i REALLY want it despite some of its lesser flaws. The design in itself is worth it. Having or not having radio, as so many of you pointed out, is seriously NOT a big deal. I have a phone right now that has mp3 and radio and honestly i never really use it. the wi-fi is a bigger problem, but not life-threatening in my book. I just want to have this in my hands, but maybe they're on thse small glinches and THATS why they keep delaying the release... if indead thats the cause, im all for the wait... if not, hand it over already!

  • I think the radio is something that noone really need it.But the Wifi is a big problem maybe with this delay they put the wifi into this phone and maybe on the launching day 15 sept (i hope) will have wifi installed.If not think of this will be cheaper than N95.Have an interesting design and lots of finished details.Hope that this delay was the instaling of the wifi module.

  • The date got pushed back to October 18 at negrielectronics

  • I'm very disappointed that this thing doesn't have wi-fi!

  • I Haven't understood yet why people want FM radio in every phone, can't they demand something else. I mean when u have an option of MP3 with a big memory available and u can have your own music files than why u want FM.

  • If you go to it says at the bottom: this product is expected to be available on September 15th. Really hope that's true!!!

  • Saturday 15 September, 2007 My birthday!

  • i was in love with this phone when i saw it and is awaiting it's arrival with shear anticapation! anyways, heard rumors that said it'll be released on Saturday 15 September, 2007. *so cross my fingers*

  • im not sure but i heard it wud release in 40 days

  • This model will not be published. Sorry

  • i want now..

  • Its only going to be available to the korean market and later modified for the european market.

  • i would buy this phone only if it came with wifi and built in memory around 4-8 gb like the iphone or sony ericsson w960

  • why the hell will somebedoy need a radio , if there is mp3 player .. ?! .. the only disadvantage of this phone is the lack of WiFi .. although its almost perfect , I`m waiting it with great feelings ..

  • This Phone looks awesome...Does anyone know if this phone will be coming to Australia and when?

  • No WIFI, No Radio

  • wish i could see it in person. looks gorgeous and qwerty sounds delicious!

  • Oh cool, so you mean this is a 3G phone? I love how the phone can slide two different ways.

  • The small circular thing in the top right hand corner is the VGA camera for video calls. The on/off switch is on top of the phone. The 3 MP camera is on the back of the phone and the phone slides in 2 directions, sideways and vertically. Slide it vertically and u get a number pad and navigational keys, slide it sideways and get the full QWERTY keyboard. Hope that answers any of ur questions

  • I want it NOW!

  • Bongo, think thats the on/off switch if you ask me, dont think it has vga for vid calls as well. But like the big screen and qwerty keyboard.

  • does this phone have vga camera for video calls? is that the 3 mega pixel camera that i'm seeing on the upper right hand corner? or is that vga cam?? does anyone know??

  • OK, can some of you stop beggin us not to buy this phone!!! get a life! this phone has touch screen, dual sliding action 3.0 megapixel camera, 3G...the list keeps going! if you dont like it, dont buy it! dont tell us not too! this is a great phone, samsung keeps putting up high end and very advanced phones to put themselves up there as one of the best. You guys want to make fun of phones, go to the motorola and LG section!

  • What is full html? How good is that? Can I watch youtube on it? Regards, soda

  • i love this Phone it is prcied at 698.50 on negrielectronics.com i wish it was cheaper but its actualy worth its price still not sure if it has wi-lan or not but a great phone and buy

  • this is an amazing phone you can see they put alot of work in this phone

  • i love samsung but i feel that samsung need themes like those in nokia and sony ericsson

  • This is a beautiful mobile...what, with the deviation from the traditional keypad design and the 2-way slider...AND the display size is 480 x 272 pixels...with HSDPA, with a 3MP camera...i can live without WLAN and TV-out....

  • yep.. cant wait until it comes out.. i think this is better than the iphone.. it irritates the heck out of me when i had to use touch screen to make txt messages! definitely a keeper!

  • i wonder how much will this unit cost? i think its great, the sliding keys on 2 sides?brilliant.. 3G, 3MP camera..wow.. this is a fone that ill definitly consider on my christmas wish..�

  • This phone is dead sexy!! who care's if it's got no Wlan and no TV/out get of you PC get a life and get this phone!!

  • I love the way this phone looks. Does anyone know if it is going to come out into the US and if so when and how much??

  • can u use aim on this phone?

  • no wlan, it could be a market hit with wlan. It has a qwerty, touch screen, a nice camera resolution for a phone, but no wlan... lost all the points.

  • Ok which phone will you buy F520 or F700 right now for me it's too close to call, I'm lening towards the F700 but still not sure

  • nokia n95 has a tv-out. this phone should have also. don't buy if this phone has no tv-out. scrutinize the strategy of samsung.

  • i will not buy this phone because it has no tv-out fucntion again. sorry, don't please buy this phone as there is no tv-out. nokia n95 is the queen of mobile phone.

  • This was definitely on my list but.. Another F series and NO WI-FI!!! HOW STUPID!!!

  • are these guys serious? who care bout a damn tv out, this phone is badass, slick look, and a huge touchscreen, very nice

  • This is the ugliest phone i have ever seen it looks like an old gameboy. hahaha what a joke samsung..... 262k resolution... u have to do better samsung... disappointing

  • Very nice phone

  • there should be a tv-out otherwise. i will give again zero.

  • anybody knows about the os of this phone??

  • Niceeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

  • Is the screen always like can you change the colour? or is it blue and black?

  • I think this is the best phone i have ever seen before, its brilliant hope i can get it as soon as possible

  • i expect to see more phones like these in the future. Sliding QWERTY keyboard is cool. Nice design Samsung!

  • is this fne better than the f510?????

  • I think this is the best phone i have ever seen before, its brilliant hope i could get one for like �200 mabie

  • Come on, Samsung. Make it a quad band phone with Wi-Fi, and this phone would be perfect.

  • this is awesome! but i do hope it had wifi and a higher MP camera. wonder when it'll be available here in SE asia??

  • Samsung people... can you guys please bring the F520 to South East Asia.. we have upscale mobile users in these parts of the world too!

  • Why don't they add Wi-Fi to the phone? It would be much better than the Nokia N95 then.

  • hope its not gonna b expensive (�300 and below is fine)

  • and the winner is ...............................

  • Does anyone know how long the battery last?

  • where's the wifi?

  • can I play Oblivion on it?=)))

  • Oh.. Called our contact in Samsung Denmark regarding this phone.. It's not going to be introduced in the Scandinavian market. JEEEEEZ =( Means i gotta order it from Germany etc.. really, really blows..

  • Is there a CD & DVD-player in???

  • Samsung have done it again,does it have digital tv ? because on the pictures it has a button on the side with a tv logo next to it.anyone?

  • This phone is so nice. Is it gonna come out soon?? Im will get it when it coming out can't wait no more.

  • this phone is awesome. it should have wifi though.. thats the only down fall

  • Any information at all?

  • Real Samsung....

  • SIICK phone! im gettin it when it comes out! Anyone know when it comes out in Canada exactly??

  • this is a very nice phone have never expect from samsung keep it up it a very nice

  • Nice phone.. Exlusive..

  • wow! sexy fone! i love the large screen and the stylish keypad..cant wait...how about the sexy red color f520???

  • Cool phone, could possibly be my next one, comes out in september? It would be nice if it could come out sooner. I was hoping It would be available before summer time. I hope the camera and video is good. Anyone know the fps of the video recording?

  • It looks good. Different and not too big. Good spec. Lets hope the price is realistic!!

  • good. but the buttons r all over da place. wifi would b good wit it.

  • It'll be out in september 07 .. looks much bigger than it actually is (dimensions)

  • I think the new design its fantastic. I am not too sure about the phone performance.

  • this could have been better if they included wifi? dont ya think?

  • PRRRRRRRRR! This is one sexy phone! Wait for it, wait for it... ahhh, there... what can I say but Orgasmic! Definate upgrade to this touch screen, slip and slide any way you like, from downtown to china town beast. Can't wait to upgrade from my e900, YUMMO!

  • looks like a TV remote control

  • goddayyumn this is one hotttttt fone...keypad slides in 2 directions?!

  • i was wondering if you can add programs to this phone?

  • not bad but the buttons r all over da place.

  • Hmmm. Too bad it doesn't have wifi. Or does it?

  • is it true this wont come out till september?

  • does it have FM Radio ???

  • man...this phone is SEXY !!! slide all ways lol cant get any better then this =D im gettin it

  • Ok, the Wi-fi is not a huge -, but look-the OS.. it is! Just some WM 5.0.. Or at least Symbian! Samsung thing! Just thing.. this kind of machine must have OS! Otherwise it will show only ~50% of it's power!

  • Hot launching key

  • what's the OS (operating system)?

  • it is the unique design i have ever seen. excellent,it rocksss. samsung rules again.

  • the phone is just lovely.. i cant say its perfect but which phone really is? As for me this is a model i would wait for to buy.. unlucky.. few months cuz as i kno it will be out around autumn? and suppose the price will be a serial-killer

  • this fone literally turned me on, but when i came to know it havent got wifi ... i cant tell. its a scrap without it!

  • Lol doofus, it's not a half QWERTY keypad or else you would get half the keyboard keys. It's got the full thing and you can slide it the other way around for different accesses.

  • whats up with the half qwerty kp... sum1 xplain

  • why doesn't samsung coming with 16 Million resolution screens?????

  • Does it have touch screen

  • Like the other announced Ultra Edition Phones, this one also does not run WM, Symbian, or any of the popular OSs. It will run Samsung's own proprietary system. You can add java programs to the phone.

  • I try to buy a third phone & dont know whether this Samsung F520 is good 4 use or Not ? Any comment ?

  • It looks like a rip of the SPH-B5200. A cdma model put into a gsm form. This time the phone will not have high game features. Take a look

  • the specs looked great until i read it didn't have wi-fi... drag

  • i love this phone its plain and simple in my home country it its more complicated 8megapixles i prefer 3 (japan)this phone is nice and simple A++

  • Oh yes! Samsung is getting uper and uper..! Really nice desighn and great idea for the keypad!! I would like Wi-Fi and some OS(WM5 or 6, or at least Symbian as i520). Than would be just perfecet.. I love the huge touchscreen+qwerty.. Thats the best way! Touchscreen+additional qwerty! Again nice work Samsung, next time with OS onboard and show how to make fresh, full-featured phones to the other manufacturers!

  • hey Samasung -what operation system it will use ? is it mobile 5 ???

  • waiting for this one... i agree.. this would have been perfect with wifi... couldn't agree more

  • up and down, side to side! new samsung slogan. haha

  • this is cool it has full qwerty in it! so it means it slides in multi direction! awesome! i want this phone right now!!

  • This would've been perfect if it had Wi-Fi.

  • looks cool but thats all i bet, bet it cant make a coffee

  • What the!!!! Amazing design but will it work? Looks the shezzle!!

  • as UBER cool as i think this phone is, it dosent kill the iphone iphone got alot more coming for it then its design... although i have to admit this phone's slide-out keypads are BITCHIN. luvvv this phone. but i think i'd enjoy iphone better.

  • hehehehehehe samsung is killing the iPhone :)) hahhaa aple stick 2 the ipods;)

  • third

  • I'm second

  • im first
