How is this phone? I saw it on a poster today at the mall and it looked cool. I have a LG Fusic now. Would I see any upgrades if i got it?

I'd recommend going to a retailer, and experience the phone yourself. See if the slide form factor works for you and your text needs. You may have a lot of different opinions, but the one opinion that should matter, is the consumer (your's).
If you want my opinion, I think it's a great, sleek, EvDO rev.O enabled handset, that is packed with features such as GPS, Sprint TV, Sprint Radio, OTA music downloads via Sprint Music, expandable memory, 1.3 mp camera/video camera, Live Search, Bluetooth, etc.

I had both the fusic and M520, the speaker is louder on the M520, but the camera is better on the fusic. The media player works the same way but there is no FM transmitter on the M520. The keyboard is about the same as far as texting, but the top buttons are a little close to the top slide part. Both were some of my favorite phones though, I think you'll be happy

Yup. Drap and drop (via USB cord) from C: to the removable drive. I think it's an E: or F:. Can't remember off the top o my head what drive it is.
...
and the music will play like normal on the speaker? What about a headset for it so i can use it as a mp3 player at the gym?

Any mp3 enabled phone can do this. Not just Samsung, your LG Fusic too.

The songs were downloaded from sprint are going to be in the same file, you now can play songs from sprint and from you computer on the same playlist. The only problems I get from samsung Sprint phones are that they will freeze when you make a call and receive one at the same time.
...
hmmmm my biggest concern was texting and call quality to be honest.

Texting on the Muziq is really easy compared to either, the easiest one I've used for T9

Well the department I work in, people don't call us up to tell us how much they love their phones. I get all the complaints about phones. So if I'm not getting calls on them, I generally find that they're good pieces of equipment. I can't recall a single instance where someone has had anything negative to say about the m520. I have a close friend who has one, and I played with hers for a while. It's pretty cool. Keep in mind that you have a 30 day model exchange period. Try it out, if you don't like it, go back to the store and make the exchange.

what phones do u get the most calls on?
