A few months ago, I used to bring several phones for testing purposes. After testing, I gave them back. It was difficult for me to be using several phones and getting confused which one was ringing.
However, I just bought a second phone for personal use. The Sony Ericsson Z520i. This is my backup phone to my Sony Ericsson P910i.
I merely wanted a simple phone and nothing fancy. But I got a great bargain so I got it.
The contents of the box are as follows: Z520i handset, standard li-on battery, wall charger, and a user manual.
Features:
- StyleUpCover - Lets you create a personalized style-up cover for your Sony Ericsson phone
- Bluetooth Connectivity - Allows for handsfree communication and wireless file transfers
- Media Player - Enjoy videos and music
- VideoDJ - Edit videos in your mobile phone
- 0.3 Megapixel Camera with 4x digital zoom - Allows for simple photos and videos
- Light Effects - There are 8 different light effects/pattern which you can assign as default or to specific callers
So far I’m quite impressed with the phone. Although some people were not really happy with the phone, they might have expected a lot. For me, I was just looking for a simple backup phone and this phone just fulfills my need.

My company gave me my service phone, a Sony Ericsson P910i. They promised me a Sony Ericsson P990i but it wasn’t gonna be released until the 2nd Quarter of 2006. Since we still have one last brand new stock of the P910i, then they “convinced” me to accept the P910i for a while. Hey, it’s still a wonderful phone. And who am I to complain for a free phone. Hehehe!
The contents of the box are as follows: P910 handset, standard battery, travel charger, 32MB Memory Stick PRO Duo, Memory Stick adapter, SyncStation with USB, stereo portable handsfree, carry case, wrist strap, cleaning cloth, 1 extra stylus, flip replacement, flip replacement tool kit, PC Suite CD, applications and content CD, user manuals.
I’ll update this post as soon as I get to play with it more.

Howie Ticzon Sun Cellular’s handsets expert gave me another phone to play with. Motorola MPx220.
The phone looks and feels like any other phone. BUT it still doesn’t compare to a Sony Ericsson K700i or the K750i. It has solitaire and other windows games to take most of your time. The menu system is similar to a windows computer. By the way, it looks like Windows XP.
Oh crap! the phone hanged as I’m doing this review. “Bootloader blah blah blah!” Time to take out the battery and restart the phone.
One thing that makes me wonder… how come the battery of MPx220 only lasts half a day? I have my SE K700i paired with my SE bluetooth headset and yet they both last 2 or more days.
If you have the extra moolah and don’t mind the constant restarting of the phone — Hehehe! — then you might want to check this out yourself. Otherwise, don’t even bother with this phone.
Oh man! I’m not kidding but it hanged on me again.
Let’s see what Motorola has to say:
- Windows Mobile software allows compatibility with Windows Mobile applications such as Pocket Outlook® and Pocket Internet Explorer and is designed to match and transpose the Outlook desktop experience
- Global Quad Band Performance (850/900/1800/1900)
- Integrated 1.2 megapixel camera, multi-step zoom, flash and self-portrait capabilities make it possible to capture your business and personal encounters with ease
- Bluetooth® wireless technology and speaker phone allow hands free conversations
- 64MB Flash ROM and mini-SD removable memory for extra storage
- MMS messaging features for sending pictures, animations, wallpaper, icons and more
- Downloading capabilities for adding on new games, musical ringtones, business applications and more at any whim
- A wide array of companion products are available to enhance the wireless experience

For this year’s personal xmas gift… I bought myself a Sony Ericsson K700i. It’s a long story but to make it short, I decided on the K700i because of the richness of its features while the price is acceptable compared to a Sony Ericsson P910 (which is my ultimate dream phone).
Quick Features:
- GSM 900/1800/1900 MHz
- Supports Bluetooth connectivity
- 41MB internal memory (Asia Version)
- Built-in digital VGA camera with flash and video
- Java platform Support
I’ve been playing with it for the past few days and I am really glad I bought it. Actually, I was hesitant to buy it at first but my sister “forced” me to buy it. She said I would keep on nagging her about it if I didn’t buy it. Hehehe!
Anyway, one of the things I liked about the K700i was the mp3 capability. I also liked the video capability especially that it can read 3gp and mp4 formats. Right now I have 8 mp3s and 3 music videos.
Another feature I’ve always wanted to do was to sync my phone to any computer. Thanks to Float’s Mobile Agent and a bluetooth dongle, I am able to sync my K700i’s phonebook, folder files, profiles, and especially the message folders (inbox, outbox, drafts, and archives) to my office PC and laptop.
With the features, price, and size of the phone it really is worth buying this phone.

Another phone to test… Sony Ericsson K500i.
This is my first time to handle a Sony Ericsson. I wonder how it will be.
Here are the features:
- 65K colour screen
- Built-in video camera with digital zoom
- Sound recorder
- MP3 Player
- Video player (MPEG4)
- 40-voice polyphonic ringtones
- 3D games
- Memory: 12 Mbytes
- Tri-band: GSM 900, 1800 and 1900
So far it is quite fun to be using a phone that is graphically interfaced differently from the phones I am used to.
One thing I liked about it so far… the screen is so vivid! The video camera is quite useful.
