Sony Ericsson Z520A review from Canada
"Don't get it if you expect it to last!"
What things have gone wrong with the mobile phone?
I've had this phone for just over 1 year. I still remember the date I bought it, it was Jan 16, 2006. It came with a one year warranty. SE is really smart in this warranty thing; my phone started dropping calls right after the 1 year period. I thought this kind of phone would last for a good 2 years, but I guess I'm wrong. HA!
Usually dropping calls isn't a big issue, because you can always call that person back CONSTANTLY! But it became a problem for me when I entered an job-hunting phase. A potential employer had to call me 4 TIMES!!!!!! It's unbelievable!
General comments?
Generally, the phone is good for people who just need a phone to use. The 1.3 megapixel camera is next to useless, the colour is terrible and the pixels are just too scattered.
The loading is reasonably fast. Buttons are easy to press.
The reception is good, because to some extent I can still receive calls in an elevator. But of course, the reception dropped dead after 1 year of use.
