Sony Ericsson Z525a is a camera phone dressed for action and loaded with options. It offers easy to use VGA camera and video recording capability to capture fun moments.

Amazon.com Product Description

This update to the venerable Sony-Ericsson Z500a adds Bluetooth, support for quad-band roaming, and lighted keypad animations. Plus, the Z525a is compatible with Cingular's exciting push-to-talk service, making instant communication just a button away at all times. Like its predecessor, the phone sports dual screens, a VGA camera with video capabilities and support for high-speed EDGE data networks.

<small><b>Light up the night!</b> <small></td></tr> </table> <B>Design</B>
Sony-Ericsson's reputation for cutting edge design is well represented with the Z525a. There's a 128 x 160 display housed under the cover while the outside sports a supplementary 101 x 80 color screen that can display time, call information, battery and signal strength, and more. The VGA (640 x 480) camera is housed on the front cover as well. The z525a uses an internal antenna-- nothing to snag or break off-- and a five-way button just above the dial pad is used to control most of the phone's menus and features. Up/down buttons on the left side of the phone can be used for quick volume control and menu navigation. USB data and charging ports, as well as a headset port, are located on the phone's bottom edge. And because the z525a's front and rear faceplates are changeable with Sony-Ericsson Style-Up covers, you can dress it up to suit your style. Color light effects around the keypad complete the calling and messaging experience.

<B>Calling Features</B>
The Z525a's phone book can hold up to 510 contacts with multiple entries per contact. A call list remembers your most recent missed, received and dialed calls. The phone's voice activated dialing makes calling your friends, family and associates as easy as saying their names. The phone also features a speakerphone for easy, hands-free talking. In addition to a vibrating alert, the phone supports polyphonic ringtones as well as MP3 ringers, allowing you to use portions of your favorite songs to alert you to incoming calls. There's even a bundled application that lets you mix your own ringtones with up to 16 tracks. Meanwhile, more ringtones can be downloaded from Cingular's MEdia Net wireless web service. Picture caller ID lets you assign a photo to specific callers. Similarly, a ringer ID lets you assign ringtones to callers. And don't forget that the Z525a's Bluetooth radio lets you use a wide range of wireless headsets for handsfree calling.

Cingular Push To Talk is a walkie-talkie type service that allows you to instantly reach others by eliminating the dialing and ringing steps in a regular cellular call. Push-to-talk calls can be made to one person or to a group of people. Choose Cingular Push-To-Talk as an add-on service to your voice plan to enable the service on the Z525a. Cingular's unique service allows you to see who is available before you initiate a call. Plus, you can place yourself in "do not disturb" mode if you do not want to receive push-to-talk calls.

<B>Messaging, Internet, and Tools</B>
The Z525a has all the bases covered when it comes to messaging. Support is built in for sending and receiving text, video, graphics and sound via messages. When used in combination with the phone's built-in camera, MMS opens up a whole new world of messaging fun. Instant messaging clients for ICQ, AOL, and Yahoo! are also included and the phone ships with a built-in email client.

Getting on the Internet is easy with the z525a. It supports the GPRS protocol, as well as the high speed EDGE data protocol. When used with a Cingular data plan and the phone's USB and Bluetooth data capabilities, the phone can be used as a wireless modem for laptops and PDAs. There's also a built-in web browser for MEdia Net downloads and mobile web browsing. Cingular's MEdia service lets you receive and send emails, read news headlines, get weather updates, download games and ringtones, and more. T9 text entry, a technology that makes it easier for people to enter words and text on handsets, is built into the unit-- a plus for mobile email and text messaging users.

A number of handy software tools are bundled with the z525a, including a voice memo recorder, a to-do list, a calculator, a calendar, and an alarm clock with a timer and stopwatch. Sony Ericsson Sync Station software lets you synchronize your Microsoft Outlook calendar, contacts, notes and tasks with your Z525a.

<B>Imaging and Entertainment</B>
The Z525a was designed for serious fun. The built-in VGA camera captures stills and video (up to 60 seconds) to the phone's 16MB of internal memory. Picture effects and custom screensavers, backgrounds, and themes can be set up to fit your personality.

Java support is built into the Z525a, making it a powerful gaming companion for both online and offline games. Games are downloadable via the MEdia Net service or you can use the handset's USB or Bluetooth data connection to load more games and files onto the phone.

<B>Vital Statistics</B>
The Sony-Ericsson Z525a weighs 3.46 ounces and measures 3.27 x 1.81 x 0.94 inches. Its lithium-ion battery is rated at up to 4.5 hours of digital talk time, and up to 12.5 days of digital standby time. It runs on the GSM/GPRS 850/900/1800/1900 frequencies. The phone comes with a one year limited warranty.

Cute look, horrible phone.......2007-05-08

I picked this phone based on it's sized. I was happy with it for the first month or so but then it started to turn itself off for no reason. I am now on my second phone and it's starting to do the same thing. Unfortunely I'm stuck with this for another year before I can upgrade to a different brand. Very happy with Cingular service just not the phone.

Love the phone!.......2007-04-19

I am extremely happy with this phone and I would highly recommend it. I have not had any of the problems that have been listed by other reviewers. I love all the features, especially the different light display rings available. The only complaint I have is the PTT button is in a terrible place, but, once you get used to it, you don't hit it quite as often.

Thank GOD my phone FINALLY DIED!.......2007-04-11

I have had this phone for approximately 7 months. My best friend bought the same phone at about the same time. This is the WORST phone I have ever owned. She would attest the same. Although there are some extra features of the phone, the main feature that I use, the PHONE is aweful. I can't carry on a conversation for more than 10-15 minutes or the phone dies. My friend's phone does the same thing. It takes several minutes for it to return to a functioning capacity after it dies. I just received a text message and the thing finally died. It won't charge, there is no activity at all.

Frankly, I am shocked that it lasted as long as it has. I am very disappointed in the phone. I thought the fact that it was a "Sony Ericcson" would assure me a quality product. I was wrong. I am disgusted that I paid as much as I did for this phone and have been stuck with it's poor performance for this much time. I will NEVER buy another phone from this company again.

Awesome product!.......2007-03-24

I bought this sony ericsson phone in July, it is simply amazing. It has everything you need, camera, not the best but very good, text messaging, multimedia messaging, it also has awesome light effects. The color-screen is great too. The menu is also very good. i love the games, and different options. The address book is cool, there is picture id, and personal ringtones. I really adore the music player, speakerphone, and the sound recording. If you want a great phone that is sleek, and sophisticated buy this!
I really enjoy it! I bet you will too! BUY THIS IT IS THE BEST PHONE

in case of emergency, hope there's a payphone nearby.......2007-03-22

The phone's basic features are decent, but my big problem with this phone is when it randomly says "searching" at the top which means you can't call or be called. (aka no 911 if you ever needed it). The screen quality distorts in some ways. The phone freezes up occassionally and if you're lucky the phone will turn back on on the first time after you push the on/off button. Too bad this phone is new enough that I am stuck with it unless I want to pay an overpriced amount for a dif one, but it's also old enough that I can't return it.
