Reviews of the Samsung SPH-M520
-
CNET Review
The Good: The Samsung SPH-M520 has a decent set of features, a bright display, easy-to-use control interface and satisfying performance.
The Bad: The Samsung SPH-M20 had sluggish camera menus, and it picked up some background noise during calls. Also it uses a proprietary headset jack.
The Bottom Line: It doesn't offer anything new, but the Samsung SPH-M520 is one of the better Sprint Power Vision phones we've seen.
