NEC 525 Cell Phone Review

July 09, 2004 | by Ian Bell

As part of its 500 series of High Definition Mobile handsets, NEC delivers global connectivity with the 525. But is a pretty screen and two CPU's enough to satisfy our hunger?

Quote from the review:

NEC has a wonderful phone on their hands and we are curious as to why they are not putting the resources behind it to push a stronger marketing effort. The phone reception is certainly above average and because the 525 uses two processors, phonebook and menu navigation is extremely fast and easy to use.

On the downside, the volume controls take a while to get used to and the high-resolution screens are prone to wash out in direct sunlight, but other than those downfalls, the NEC 525 is a solid phone. That being said, this is not a small phone by any means so those willing to give up features for a more petite phone should look elsewhere. The NEC 525 is sure to garner a lot of looks, and those looking for a multimedia phone will find the 525 should feed their digital hunger.
