Sony Ericsson Z520

Sony Ericsson Z520

Mobile Burn has a look at the Z520 from Sony Ericsson. Another in a long line of clamshell design camera phones out on the market. The writer of the article seems to like the Z520 though.

While the Z520’s name would suggest that it is the direct descendent of the Z500 that was first shown in March of last year, to me the Z520 is much more the latest and greatest version of the Z600, one of my favorite handsets of all time. Both handsets offer a great balance of features, size, and usability. The Z520 just does it with a bit more oompf, and in a smaller and lighter package.

Physical Aspects

The Z520 is a fairly compact and light clamshell handset. It weighs about 96g (3.4oz) with a SIM card, and measures 94mm x 45mm x 24mm (3.7″ x 1.8″ x .9″) in size. This makes it quite easily pocketable and convenient to carry around. The top half of the clamshell is where you will find the external display and the VGA camera. On the left side the camera button, volume controls, and IR port are found, leaving nothing left for the right side of the device. The back of the Z520 is plain except for the large speaker port. The Fast Port connector for data and headsets is located on the bottom, and the somewhat controversial loop antenna is found up top. While I like the look of the antenna, just as I did on the Siemens CF62, a lot of people that I showed the Z520 to did not like it at all.
