official review from june 5, 2000
Ericsson Press Releases
Ericsson unveils the first GPRS phone with Bluetooth™ - the R520
Date: Monday, June 5 2000
- One of three world premiers in Singapore
Today, at CommunicAsia in Singapore, Ericsson unveiled the first GPRS phone
with Bluetooth, the triple band R520. A world premier, the R520 is the first
step toward more advanced mobile Internet applications, featuring GPRS, High
Speed Data (HSCSD), Bluetooth™ wireless technology and WAP. Besides maximum
speed levels the R520 also offers complete wireless connectivity with a
built-in Bluetooth chip, removing requirements for cables between the phone
and other mobile devices, such as PCs and handsfree devices.
The R520 is one of three products Ericsson presents in Singapore, all based on
the company's leading technologies in wireless communications.
"Unveiling the first GPRS mobile phone puts us in the leading position in
mobile handsets and together with our number one position in mobile
telecommunications infrastructure, in a unique position as an end-to-end
supplier," says Jan Ahrenbring, Vice President Marketing and Communications at
Ericsson Mobile Communications AB. "These are the key factors for winning
further GPRS contracts and for selling systems and handsets for 3G."
"With over 50 percent of the GPRS systems market, Ericsson is the world
leader," continues Ahrenbring. "We have 41 commercial agreements on commercial
GPRS systems and have delivered 44 test systems to leading operators around
the world. Our new GPRS phone opens a new chapter for consumers, allowing
packet data to be transmitted five times the speed than regular GSM, and adds
a new dimension of convenience for the user."
The R520 features a WAP browser, making it Ericsson's sixth WAP handset. WAP
(Wireless Application Protocol) is a technology designed to bring Internet
content to users of wireless devices. GPRS will make mobile Internet cheaper,
faster and more user-friendly than ever before.
General Packet Radio Services (GPRS) and High Speed Data makes it possible for
the consumer to send and receive data much faster than what has been possible
over regular GSM. GPRS also enables the consumer to always be on-line,
ensuring the R520 to keep the consumer continuously connected to mobile
Internet services. Additionally, the phone also supports High Speed Data
(HSCSD) which gives an extra option for fast speed transmission of data.
Besides maximum speed levels the R520 also offers complete wireless
connectivity with the built-in Bluetooth chip. For instance the R520 can be
used together with the Bluetooth Headset from Ericsson, or be connected to a
PC with the Ericsson Bluetooth PC Card.
Together with this cut-edge technology, Ericsson provides operators with
end-to-end GPRS infrastructure solutions, ensuring that GPRS will be
implemented in GSM networks toward the end of 2000. At CommunicAsia, Ericsson
is demonstrating live mobile Internet applications over an end-to-end GPRS
network using the new R520. Ericsson currently has introduced GPRS services
for GSM 900/1800/1900 networks. Operators, who have bought Ericsson's GPRS
solution, have close to 95 million subscribers in their networks.
The R520 will be tested by operators and service providers during Q3 and Q4
2000, it will be available in limited volumes during Q4 2000 and in commercial
volumes during Q1 2001.
The R520 supports GSM 900/1800/1900 frequencies, allowing communication with
one phone throughout 120 countries in five continents.
Other technical details
GPRS is a common step for GSM and TDMA (GPRS/EDGE) to handle higher data
speeds and the transition to 3G. With GPRS, packet switched data transmission
is added to the traditional circuit switched transport on a regular GSM
network. Data is broken into packets instead of sent as a steady stream. As a
result, the mobile device user remains "virtually" connected to the server,
using airtime only when data is actually being sent. GPRS thereby optimises
air time usage (and possibly associated connection costs) as well as power
consumption. Being connected to the Mobile Internet does not interfere with
receiving a phone call, as the data session may be put on hold while the call
is answered.
The e-mail functionality in the R520 supports most e-mail services allowing
you to stay in touch irrespective of location. There is also a calendar with
different views; month, week, day and a "tasks" list. Automatic
synchronization with a PC via WAP/Internet, Bluetooth, infrared technology or
cable is possible. R520 features a loudspeaker, which gives it speakerphone
functionality, and a proximity switch; by simply putting the phone to ones
ear, the phone switches from speakerphone mode to regular mode. It also
features numerous other functions that make it a highly effective
communication tool such as hierarchical phone book with up to 511 contacts and
predictive text input. Instead of having to press keys several times for a
letter, software in the R520 chooses from a dictionary of words and phrases
and anticipates what word or phrase you are writing. By just saying a "magic
word" the enhanced voice recognition makes it possible to "wake up" the R520
from standby mode, making it receptive to voice commands. In this way, there's
no need to press any buttons on the phone, making it easy and safe to use even
while driving a car.
Two versions of the R520 will be produced. The R520m, and the R520mc which
features a complete Chinese interface that is easy to learn and easy to use.
This unique feature allows you to send and receive Chinese SMS messages and
also lets you store Chinese names in the Phone Book.
Measuring 130x50x16mm and weighing just 105 grams, the R520 offers talk time
of up to 7 hours and 35 minutes and a standby time of up to 200 hours
(approximately 8 days). The R520 is being shown in a sporty copper color.
To view the Ericsson R520, please visit http://www.ericsson.com/pressroom/phli_pcoph.shtml
Ericsson is the leading communications supplier, combining innovation in
mobility and Internet in creating the new era of Mobile Internet. Ericsson
provides total solutions covering everything from systems and applications to
mobile phones and other communications tools. With more than 100,000 employees
in 140 countries, Ericsson simplifies communications for customers all over
the world.

If you wanted to know what Ericsson would tell you about their R520, click here.
First Look
When I first saw the R520, I said to myself, this looks exactly like my R320, with a different coloring scheme and a slightly curvier front. Looking behind the phone, I noticed that the R520's battery positioning is slightly lower than that of the R320 (by about 2 cm).
The keys feel very much like the R320 except that the memo/record button has been replaced with an option key and the memo/record button has shifted to the right of the phone, just below the infra-red "eye".
The unit reviewed was a commercial release of the R520 with the latest firmware, R2M.
LCD
The LCD has a resolution of 101 x 67 pixels and a color depth of 2-bits (4 level grayscale). The backlight has a luminous green hue but unlike any of the previous Ericssons, it doesn't light up instantly but fades in and out. This works well in the dark. Another cool feature about the screen is that you can now determine its text size. I personally prefer the small font size which allows more information on the screen at once. Ideally, people with sight difficulties could opt for medium or larger font sizes should they need it.
Menu
The menu looks nice and you can tell that Ericsson is making full use of the 4 shades of gray to make its animated menu option. The options are also very intuitive and are placed in a logical order that should make sense to all who uses the phone. It can be safely said that even with the huge amount of features found on the R520, getting to a specific function or feature uses a minimum amount of sub-menus. Frequently used options can of course be placed in the "My shortcuts" menu. People who have used Ericsson phones in the past would feel very much at home when using the R520.
Phonebook
The most frequently used option on the phone just got way better. Unlike its predecessors, this phone can keep 510 contacts. Also, unlike the older Ericssons where each number has a name to it, the contacts in the R520 allows you to keep information very much like how Microsoft Outlook ("Outlook") keeps its contacts. This conforms to the VCard standard adopted/developed by the Internet Mal Consortium ("IMC"). Sending the contact to the computer via infra-red produced a .VCF or VCard which I could easily import into my Outlook program. Another cool thing I like about the phonebook was the fact that when I highlighted an entry and pressed the option key, I could easily edit that contact info without going through the edit menu. The voice labels have greatly improved. You have 50 labels to set on the phone and these can be voice activated so that you do not need to press any key, instead you just use a "magic word" to get the phone's attention.
So if I wanted to call somebody while I was driving (did this a few times), all I needed to do was say [MAGIC WORD] followed by the [VOICE LABEL OF CONTACT] and the intended number type, in this example, [MOBILE] and the R520 will call the person on the mobile number. This reduces the number of voice labels I have to give to a contact to only one as you only need to train the phone with your voice for your "magic word", "answer", "busy" and one for each contact type (mobile, home, work, and other). Also, if the contact only has one number, the R520 does not wait for you to say the contact type.
Signal
The phone seems to have a better signal pickup than the R320, I was getting at least one bar higher of signal with the R520 as compared to my R320. I was also getting a signal where I couldn't with the R320. Another nifty feature on the R520 is the speakerphone. It was possible for me to talk to someone and if a few of us needed to join the conversation, I can just switch over to the speakerphone. The sound was loud and clear enough for all to hear and the phone could filter background noise well enough for the person on the other side of the line to hear. I also came into a situation where I was driving without my hands-free kit and a call came through, all I needed to do was say the ANSWER voice label and the phone went into speakerphone mode. All without having to lift my fingers off the steering wheel.
The R520's motion detector is also good enough to know when to cancel the speakerphone mode when I placed the phone against my ear.
Messages
Messaging on the R520 not only expands on the now important SMS with EMS support in it, but also hooks the user to internet mail (POP3 / SMTP) access. This can easily be done via HSCSD (GSM data) or GPRS. I could not however, test these features as I did not have POP3 and SMTP access. The fact that my service provider does not offer GPRS to end users (they are in a testing phase with corporate clients at the moment) didn't help either.
Sending SMS on the other hand could easily be tested. Sending concated (long SMS = SMS which have more than 160 characters in them) SMS to the T29 worked like a charm. I also sent SMS with both pictures and melodies and they were received well on the T29. Testing it the other way around also worked like a charm. I even got a heretic (ie. Nokia user) to send me pictures and you should have seen that person's face when I happily showed him I could receive the picture that was sent to the R520. Sending pictures to a Nokia on the other hand produces an SMS with the picture missing.
The T9 feature is a welcome feature for most people who in the past hated sending SMS because of the limited number of keys on the phone. The predictive text is an interesting feature. I am sure that it is greatly appreciated by the Ericsson community. I have to admit that I had tried T9 on a Siemens (I didn't like it), on a Nokia (I didn't like it either) and on an Ericsson and I still don't like it. My apologies to Tegic communications (the creator of T9) but I prefer Ericsson's own input where you use the slider at the side of the phone like the "shift" key on a computer keyboard.
For example, when you use the key alone you get the first letter, push the slider up and press the key for the second letter and push the slider down (and the relevant key) for the third. This to me, inputs much faster than the T9 which tends to predict the wrong words more often than not. Others might argue that letters "s" and "z" requires two keystrokes, but unless you have only one hand, Ericsson's input is much more easier to use. It can also be argued that it is language independent if you are typing only roman letters.
Extras
The "Extras" menu offers things which do not fit into the other menus. Here you will find your SIM Toolkit option (if you have it in your SIM), Calendar, Infrared, Synchronization, Bluetooth, Time, Pictures, Code Memo, Calculator, Games, Voice Memo, and Accessories options. I will only touch on the Calendar, Pictures, Code Memo and Games.
Calendar
The calendar helps you remember important dates and appointments. You can again synchronize the calendar with your Outlook so that you are always reminded of important times and dates. This feature uses the VCalender format which is also adopted by the IMC. I could also send calendar events via infrared to and from my R320. This was also tested with another heretic's Nokia 8250 with no problems.
Pictures
The Pictures menu allows you to view the built-in pictures provided by Ericsson (you can't remove them) and to view and/or edit the pictures you have created and stored in the "My Pictures" sub-menu. Editing was easy and fun to try. Wondering what these picture are for? They are the pictures you can use in your SMS to help you express yourself in your SMS.
Code Memo
Code Memo was one of those features rarely found in most other Ericsson models. It allows users to keep their passwords or Personal Identification Numbers (PIN) safely in the phone. What is required is a PIN number and a pass phrase. If you press in the correct PIN into the Code Memo, the pass phrase will appear. If the wrong PIN is entered, the pass phrase will appear garbled.
Games
There are only two games in the R520. They are Erix which is a clone of Taito's Qix game and Tennis. Tennis can be played as a stand-alone game against the computer or against another R520 owner either via infrared or bluetooth.
WAP
The R520 features WAP 1.2.1 which has security certificates in them and uses the WTLS security protocol. This makes m-commerce a safe reality unlike previous WAP standards that sent packets to and from the server in unencrypted packets. The phone also takes the trouble to remember addresses you enter into the "Enter address" option so that if you need to visit a WAP site a few times but feel it is not that important to keep it in your bookmark, you do not need to re-type the whole address over and over again. The R520 also allows you to surf via GSM data (dial on demand) or GPRS (always on).
Other stuff
The melody system in the R520 has also expanded the notes count (sound duration) from the old half and full notes to quarter, half, three-quarters and full notes. The octave range has alsobeen increased to three octaves from the previous two.
I had so much fun changing the background pictures on the R520. I managed to put my site logo (aka Gecko) and many other pictures into the phone. This can be accomplished via infrared and bluetooth.
When I initially tried to link the R520 to my laptop's infrared (I use a Compaq M700), the Windows 2000 Professional I had installed refused to let me link properly with the R520. On further investigation, it turns out that this was a documented bug in Windows 2000 and can be easily fixed with a simple path to the OS. I was told that if you use Service Pack 2 of Windows 2000, this will be automatically patched. I had the misfortune of using Windows 2000 with Service Pack 1.
Replacing the Ultra Slim battery provided in the package with a Slim battery, I then realized why the battery is placed 2 cm lower than the position of the battery in the R320. This makes the phone easier and more comfortable to hold in the hand. This made me realize that the placing of the battery on the R320 is too high.
Overall
Cons
The only complaints (just two) I have about the R520 is when I am typing an SMS message and using the Ericsson's way of input, I had the habit of pressing the right arrow key after I entered the first letter of every key (I am talking about the letters "a", "d", "g", "j", "m", "p", "t" and "w") as I didn't want to wait half a second for the display at the top of the screen (that shows you all the letters you can get from a key) to disappear (pressing the right arrow made it disappear immediately). This allowed me to proceed to the next letter quickly and thus made me type my SMS even faster. Doing so on the R520 made the input move one character to the right (even if it was the end of the SMS).
The background picture is input by the phone as a non-animated GIF file not exceeding 600 bytes. I have encountered pictures that fit the official dimension of 73x39 pixels but exceed the 600 bytes limit. A classic example is the old car background picture for the R520 on Ericsson's own mobile internet site. That pictures is 697 bytes in size and cannot be used on any R520.
I have to admit that both complaints are either not critical (what is half a second anyway?) or not important (600 bytes limit to the background picture).
Pros
The phone is light (about the weight of the T28s) and the housing seems to suggest that it is magnesium-based like those used in today's notebooks (ie. hard and sturdy). It is packed with features with special mention going to sound quality, good pickup in weak signal areas, fantastic voice controls, GPRS, built-in Bluetooth, built-in infrared port, cool screen, great phonebook capable of storing 510 contacts), Calendar, PIM synchronization, and speakerphone

OKI have not been here for along time, due to problems with SE handsets and moving to Nokias. But I still have a couple of Ericsson handsets, and have been considering a Z600. I still have a A1018s, A2628, GA628x2, and my favourit phone of all time,my R520m copper prototype TU1. The R520 is very buggy and is a pig to use, but because it is a prototype, I will always keep it. I had a silver R520 which was a great phone, but when my car and all my families belongings got stolen in Sweden last summer, the phone was in the car as well, so it went. Shortly after this I sold my P800 and both my T68i's and moved over to Nokia, and have been with them ever since, I now use a 6800 and a 6610 every day, and have an N-Gage for when I am board. But like I said I am looking into maybe getting a Z600 shortly, just need to look on here to see if there are many problems with them, like RF which seems to be a major problem with SE phones, and the main reason for me getting rid of my phones. Never had this problem with the R520.

"Uhura"
This device was used to perform user trials on the concept of "third generation"
phone applications (such as live video communication, shoot-and-send camera, etc).
I wrote a multimedia filesystem middleware layer.
"Julia"
This triple-band GSM phone was designed for teenagers.
It had built-in instant messaging (ICQ) functions and a fun user interface.
I devised an ICQ-to-SMS gateway protocol for the messaging application.
I also worked on usability issues and coordinated development with Sweden.
"Athena"
This FM-radio phone was shown at the 1999 CeBIT exhibition.
I wrote device drivers and RDS (Radio Data System) decoding software.
1 of D BEST FONE EVER MADE ON OUR PLANET...

That's right, it's a phone. Besides its innovative design, this cell phone from Sony Ericsson Mobile Communications offers a very compelling concept: It can project info, such as your contacts and calendar, onto a flat surface.

This fully working Ericsson prototype was unveiled at CeBIT 2000 in Hanover, Germany, however since then it has been abandoned in favour of a lighter design running ER7/UIQ called Linnea (P800). Based on EPOC Release 6 Quartz, it was a fully functional tri-band mobile phone, wireless PDA, media player and much more. As well as support for GSM2, GPRS and 3G networks the device also used Bluetooth and an IrDA port to connect to other devices and peripherals. WAP was to be a standard feature and unlike the R380, it could display conventional HTML pages too. An earpiece looking similar to Walkman headphones was included (on a cable though a Bluetooth version is optional) to allow the user to leave the phone in their pocket while making calls or listening to MP3s, talking-books, live news & information services etc.
The 240×320, 256 colour touchscreen is used in portrait to operate the device though input is very simple and quick thanks to both the highly intuitive and efficient design of EPOC Quartz and the CIC Jot handwriting recognition that allows natural writing to be used without misreads or special pen sequences to be learned. Voice activation is also used to initiate calls and select options though it does not allow speech recognition so Emails, faxes and notes have to be either written or "typed" using the on-screen keyboard (an optional view). Applications are more closely integrated than in previous EPOC releases which makes it easy to get and use information used by other applications in the current program. The contacts database is now a server application allowing all standard and additional apps/functions to read from it and return information. You can move between any two applications in just one click thanks to the top navigation bar, and messages (Email, SMS, faxes etc.) can be sent received with equal simplicity. Another improvement is far better support for synchronising and conversion with a completely rewritten PIM application and improved PC conversion software for the EPOC platform as a whole.
Beyond the phone and PDA functions, the device is capable of playing MP3's and even streaming live video over mobile networks (Ericsson may wait for GPRS before they implement this). In fact Ericsson have been working with the BBC to develop a news and information service for Ericsson users who will be able to take full advantage of the video and audio content with devices like this. SDM cards are used for data storage (Including MP3's) rather than Compact Flash which provides better security for both personal data and Copyright protected material.

I mean ANYTHING! I am a desperate collector, i even go to mobile shops asking for the phones they have for recycling. I prefer working phones though, but i just love looking at phones that have been superseeded, because when u look at hte new ones, there is always something that lived on. I cannot offer money (im sorry im poor, student debts) but eternal gratefulness will come your way.
