My brother owns one and is very pleased with it. I used it for one week myself and was impressed, too.
It is sold here in Switzerland and is promoted heavily right now, so I don't think production is stopped. Where did you hear that from? |

I have one and is great!
And yeah... where did you hear about its production being stopped?
I was in NYC last week visiting my sister and I saw that cingular is now carrying it. I got mine thru ebay though.
I took some pics of it with the included (as an accesory) orange housing. It came with the 'sandy grey' on it, but I like the orange one better. It kinda makes it look like one of the new walkmanphones generation.

2. Clamshell Open.
3. Light Effects.
4. Main Display/Keypad.

z500 have stopped and z520 is it replacement even it is lack of EDGE
it is a great phone for traveller from USA to europe/asia and vice versa since it is the only quad band phone from SE tht sell world wide (w600 only for USA)
and it is the cheapest quadband phone around...i am using one and totally don't mind it lack of the memory when compare to K700 (which is now at same price range) coz it have better style. |

I love this phone! I bounce back between the Z520 and W600 (another great phone!). I have the chalky white one...not a lot of white phones out there.

@c96sthl
Well, I'm not so sure if the W600 is only for the USA. One of our GSM providers (Digitel TIM) has it announced for january release.
@Manuel_max
I bought it on ebay from "X1387" Very good service.
Ps: Y cómo es eso de fiebruo??? 
@dckl
They came as a standard accesory in the "sandy gray" set. I don't know if the blue one that cingular offers includes an extra set as well.......

its a great fone! i`ve use it for texting. its keypad is superb! big keys, fast respond, soft keys, best one arround!
but unfortunately its lack of themes support, even in esato u cannot find z520 themes (i've requested. but no respond)
but overall its a gud fone u never regret it!

The Cingular blue ones doesn't come with an extra faceplate. Mine is the white Z520i, and comes with a white a baby blue faceplate. Oh well, aftermarket OEM.  |

I might be wrong, but I think K500 Themes should work on the Z520. |

Yeah it's a pain getting themes for the z520. I made one theme myself by downloading a theme (k700 I think) from this site and resizing every image to z520 dimensions, took a while, lets just say I won't be downloading many themes for my phone! |

sorry my mistake
should say it(w600)is meant for country with GSM850 and 1900 network.
s550 is for country with GSM900 and 1800
actually it seem dumb coz they can just make one model (w600) or s600 to cater everyone in this planet since it have quad band antenna |
