I am using P527 for the past one month.
Over all its a Value for Money phone. Build quality is good. If you want to know anything in specific, ask here. Search in the forum, there are posts regarding the cons and pros of this phone.

I'd be glad if you can throw light on the following:

i) speed of the phone ? I've read in reviews that the phone is very slow. Is it true?

ii) response of the touchscreen

iii) sound quality as a music player

How much you paid for it? Did you get the Satnav maps bundled?

Speed of the phone is bit slow when compared to the symbian OS based phone, but this is common with all the windows mobile phones in this range.

Response of the touch screen is good.

I never use the phone for music purpose, so I can not comment on that. Let someone else answer it.

I paid 15.5k for this phone(its available for 15k in indiaplaza.in). Satnav (one India map) is bundled with the phone, application comes in a 1 gb micro SD card, so you get 1 gb micro SD card also as free .

bundled earphones are decent and sound reproduction is also decent...though nowhere near w-series or n-series
