Samsung M520 for Sprint is a mid-range handset, comes with a slim sleek slider design. It packs a 2.1 inches 176×220 TFT display, a 1.3 megapixel camera, other features include: Music Player (MP3 / MIDI / ACC / ACC+), Video Player ( MPEG4 / 3GPP / H.263 / H.264), microSD card support, stereo Bluetooth, USB, Java, 2.5mm headset adapter, EVDO data, SprintTV, GPS support with Telenav access. It measures 102 x 52 x 13 mm, weighs 78g.
Overall we are very pleased with the M520 design. The build quality is exceptional, the slide is solid and the design compact. It fits nicely in both the hand and pocket, the keypad is easy to use and the display crisp and clear. The only issue we ran into is that we found ourselves using the d-pad to slide the phone open, which would in turn launch a program since we were actually pressing the button. This is a minor gripe as it’s plenty easy to just place your thumb on the display to slide it up, though you will be wiping off fingerprints more often.
