Samsung SPH-m520

SPH-m520I got this back in April, when our Sprint contracts were renewed. Here’s some specs from the official page:

Camera Resolution: 1.3 megapixel
Music Player: MP3, AAC, AAC+, 3GPP, 3GPP2 and MPEG3
Mobile TV: Y
FM Radio: N
Mobile Printing: PictBridge
Messaging Push to talk: N
Instant Messaging: Y
Connectivity Bluetooth: Y
Internet HTML Browser: N
User Memory: 16MB
External Memory: 64MB
Touch Screen: N

My personal analysis:

Specs:

  • 190 Texts in Inbox
  • 50 Texts in Outbox
  • 500 Contacts
  • 20 Missed/Outgoing/Incoming Calls each

Pros:

  • Large screen, always displayed
  • Nice buttons, easily pressed, hidden when in pocket
  • Videos as ringtones
  • Custom wallpaper
  • Comes with 64MB micro SD card
  • Bluetooth enabled
  • Thin, fits nicely into pocket

Cons:

  • No direct headphone/mic jack, uses adapter in port
  • Ports have attached covers–annoying
  • Low quality speakers, cracks at high volumes
  • Atteanae is internal and where most people hold it
  • Texting firmware trys to predict next word
  • Texting firmware trys to use most used words more often
  • Blind texting almost impossible
  • Lots of features that require payment to Sprint
  • Hard to text while charging
  • Most options in phone disabled when internet is disabled with provider
  • Can’t use mp3s as ringtones–video work around

Overall, It’s a pretty nice phone, and I think it could be a lot better with a few firmware adjustments. If I ever figure out how to hack/change it, I’ll update this ;).
