Samsung's SGH-P520 gets photographed

by Darren Murph, posted Aug 7th 2007 at 7:29PM

Shortly after learning that Samsung's touchscreen-based SGH-P520 was slightly more than a figment of our imagination, a foreign site has seemingly sat down with oodles of time and snapped more images than you're likely to look at. Still, this oh-so-thin mobile has the sex appeal nailed down solid, so be sure and take a closer look at all the curves awaiting you after the break.

It looks purty and sturdy. The initial shot does it no justice.

**[will be] available only in Korea, right? They have enough phones, time to share the wealth.

Try only in Europe. I get kind of irritated when they don't release certain phones in their home market of Korea. This is quite a hot phone.

Highly Ranked

A smidge too small for my liking...

Looks like it's close to the LG Prada phone

Video interface walkthrough action. Definitely one-ups the Prada in my humble opinion (I've had some alone time with a Prada).

That interface doesn't look very nice at all... I was really into checking out the Prada, but if you are saying that that the Samsung interface is better--I will definitely have to reconsider!

hmmmm...

Well, it's just a pre-production model still, so the interface won't be perfect.

I just hope it does the basics better than previous Samsung phones. They've improved the design of their phones drastically but there are things like ringtones and storing text messages that they just haven't got right.

As for the pictures of the phone, it looks good (though the black/aluminium back isn't wonderful - one or the other would be better).
The size seems similar to the Neonode N2 but the specs are better (though sadly lacking HSDPA).

@carlo:

I was referencing the apparent ease in using fingers with minimal errors, and the mp3 player (compared to the Prada's take on music). The navigation in the mp3 player seemed convenient.

well just to put a few comments right - its the Prada that looks like this, not this that looks like the Prada.
This phone is almost exactly the same as the p310 its predecessor but obviously without the keys so the design has been around for 2 years.

Dont expect a slick interface. Samsung arent Mac. Also looks like the only text input will be via numerical keypad so i dont imagine its gonna be any easier than physical keypad. in fact i dare say it will be annoying to input text on a virtual numerical keypad, whats with missed taps going on etc
