I miss you!

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.

I'd rather wed my sister

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 (i.e. making a call). This thing is soo big and bulky. It was a good idea; too bad they couldn't execute.

Fact: batteries don't last forever

I really like the NEC525. After my 2 year contract expired, I went to the Cingular store looking to upgrade my phone, and I didn't find one that looked as appealing as my old NEC. My battery has lasted 2 years, and only now I'm going to have to buy a new one. Did you people out there know that even rechargeable batteries don't last forever? You also have to establish good habits when charging - let your battery run out completely before charging it again for the first several charge cycles - otherwise this will cut down on your battery lifetime. Hope these tips help you people out there with battery problems.

Worst cell phone

This is my second replacement in 11 months and now it died again even though battery is fully charged. Each phone lasted only 5 months and then died. I called the Cingular customer service and was told that they have never hearred this and I just had bad luck. After reading all the reviews here, I realized that Cingular lied to me. Aparently, this phone has the same kind of problem to many people. My contract will expire in a couple of months and my wife and I have decided to switch to another company. Cingular company is a big lier. NEC 525 phone sucks.

Best Phone Ever

I've had my phone for 2 years and it has been wonderful! It has been through a lot- getting dropped numerous times- being stepped on- but it has never failed. Our contract is almost up and I would really just rather get a new NEC than to get any other phone.
