Infosync reviews the Samsung SCH-u520, they rated the phone 64% and write:
“Pros: Comforatable keypad; Celltop messaging interface is attractive and convenient; loud speakerphone; camera takes decent pictures. Cons: Mediocre call quality; lacks conference calling and instant messaging; low resolution display; bulky design…The Samsung SCH-U520 is a bulky, boxy phone by Samsung’s standards, but is attractively enrobed in a rich chocolate paint. However, the real distinguishing feature is its Celltop technology, which brings widget-like cells to the handset’s screen that conveniently provides updated information on news, sports, the weather, your messages and the call log.”

CNET reviews the Samsung SCH-u520, they rated the phone 7.0 and write:
“The SCH-U520’s 1.3 megapixel camera takes pictures in four resolutions (1,280×960, 640×480, 320×240, and 96×96) and comes with a generous assortment of editing options. You can adjust the white balance and the brightness, choose from five color effects and select one of three shutter sounds (there’s also a silent option). Other features include spot metering, three quality settings, a self timer, and modes for multi, series, and divided shots.There’s also an 8x zoom but it’s unusable at the highest resolution. Photo quality was a bit below average for a megapixel camera.”
