An upgrade to the venerable z500a, the z520a adds Bluetooth, an upgraded main display and fun lights around the keypad. All this goodness is delivered in a package that is smaller and lighter than its predecessor. With dual screens and a VGA camera with video capabilities, the z520a is a serious next-generation phone. It’s the perfect handset for folks who want to get all the latest wireless goodies in one chic package.

MobileBurnAs far as mid-level GSM handsets go, there is nothing in my mind that tops the Z520. In fact, if it had EDGE data support, I’d have nothing to complain about at all. The Bluetooth system works well, the light effects are very cool, and it is a nice compact handset. In short, it is just great all around. |
