If you read one review, you have red them all. R5xx is nice, but i do not think it was worth the wait.

No, "a" R520. You're mixing up a written vowel with a word which phonetically sounds like it starts with a vowel, but doesn't. It's "an" if the word starts with a vowel - "R" isn't one, even though it's pronounced "arrh".
Sorry to be a spelling fascist, but you started it first.

Well i say it like a cat purring... RRRR520... Sounds like RRRROAAAARRRR520.
So for me it's "a R520". Kinda scottish sounding.
The rule-o-thumb I was taught is that if it sounds like a vowel you use "an" instead of "a", and I'm sticking to it as it just seems weird otherwise.Bouncing Zabaglione Bros. said:No, "a" R520.
