Summary

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.

“It was an amazing phone, I miss it so much, I had to change it by a Motorola V551 which is not as intuitive, as fast, as reliable than this NEC cellphone. Very appealing too.” More...

“this phone has been such a nightmare. Never have I used a piece of equipment with so many problems. They had to replace it twice or three times initially. There have been intermittent periods of the phone shutting off when several buttons are pushed in a row...” More...
