Samsung P510 - User Reviews

  • After nine years my P510 is still working excellent! The batteries have been replaced 3 times, the last time one year ago.

  • How can I enable GPRS network on my phone?

  • Hi, i have this phone and it lasted me 8 yrs experience but still running fine, i know that theres no audio but the pictures taken are awesome. you can transfer the pictures to your computer if you have the data cable

  • I got the same phone as this. you will have to pull the back at the top n while doing that, u will have to pull the sides witch have a little place where u can put ur finger to pull the battery out... hope this works for you

  • My P510 is now 5 years old and it is still working perfect. The batteries were replaced for the second time last summer. I love the phone and I hope it will work for at least five more years!

  • spune-mi te rog daca acest tel mobil mai este de actualitate ?as dori sa-l cumpar daca se poate... foarte urgent va rog

  • I bought a new samsung but I can't get the back off to put the battery in. Any ideas.

  • actually as i've research this phone can store up to 500 images,very good.but the problem are the video has no sound or audio;the infrared cannot function to other celfone or even transfer data/pics to pc...but i was so amazed when i can take my pic even if the cp is closed or even without the help of other people...it's good if the video has sound/audio and the infrared on it is functioning properly...i rate this phone 6%....

  • I had this phone from 2004 to 2008 until it was stolen by a taxi driver... Sheesh... :( Anyway, for those who are asking how to transfer your pictures to a PC, you must download and install a software available in the Samsung website. Though I am not sure if its still available. The name of the program is EasyGPRS. Once installed, you would have to connect your samsung through infrared to your pc and it will automatically detect it. I would suggest to turn on the infrared connection first and make sure that they're talking before opening the EasyGPRS program. Limitations * You cannot transfer video files :(

  • Loved this phone since the day I bought it, never had any problems at all with it. Neat design and easy to use.

  • I'm having problems with running Easy GPRS, i don't know whether it's because it isn't compatible with windows Vista, but i use to have it installed on my pc when it was running on xp and had no problems.. but now when i go to open the program it just says "you are attempting to open a file of type 'application extension'(.dll)" Any help would be greatly appreciated!

  • For Samsungs first camera phone to come out of the production stage this is a revolution. but oviously its a peice of rubbish compared to the phones of today

  • I adore this phone! I've not had one problem with it. The sound is great, it's very navigable, excellent reception, no dropped calls yet. Decent battery too. Highly recommended!!!

  • can you please name a similar phone to this that has automatic flip ..or what's it called ...anyway it's really nice and I would like such a phone

  • Has anyone experienced the same problem: AVG antispyware detected bad code inbedded in the Easy GPRS software which was included with the Samsung SGH P510 package.

  • I have been using my P510 for nearly 3 years and it still works excellent! The sound is perfect, the quality is very good and it has not been any problems at all with it. The standby time is about a week when I use my phone at work all day, 5 days a week! I have also had Nokia phones but I had lots of problems all the time. In the future I will only by Samsung, Motorola and LG phones.

  • Crapiest fone eva made duz any1 knw if u can hav nois wen u record n how 2 upload things 4rm ur comp tried everthng posibl

  • Do not buy this fone peopl it has virtualy no fetures nothing zilch im not gonna buy a samsung 4 a wile do not buy this fone peopl

  • Disgusting phone! I get no signal, the battery dies all the time, it takes me a hour to put the phone on. It has trouble charging, and texting is a pain. My nokia 3410 works better than this junk phone. I won't be buying samsung for a while.

  • please give me wap and mms in my telefon nomber 0896135729

  • some of the users asked .. how to transfer the pics to a pc? and the only way i could do that is by sending it with mms to an email and from there to your pc .... hope i was helpfull

  • Excellent Phone but can someone tell me how to make sms alert tone ring only once. Its continuous alerting if sms is not read can be quite annoying.Please Help

  • sorry - that last post should have been addressed to 'DaveL'....

  • Daniel - what operating system do you have on your pc? I heard there are problems using Easy Gprs on XP SP2.

  • Yes I finaly transfered photo's from P510 via IRDA to PC.

  • I have a 510 and my daughter has a D500. We both got DATASUITE packages which included a USB data cable and EASYGPRS Software and everything is fine. We can upload and download the data and photos onto our computers. We got it online about 6 months ago from a company called DataKits.co.uk.

  • It's about a year since I bought my Samsung P510 and it seems like allmost everyone of us is asking the same question: -How on earth are we supposed to transfer our pictures in the phone to our PC? As far as I know, i've not seen a single comment that can answer this question, and i've been searching for help on the net a couple of weeks now :/. The only conclusion I can think of is that this must be impossible, neither the data cabel or the IRDA works! If there's anyone out there who've acutally managed to transfer the pictures in the phone to your PC, PLEASE PLEASE tell us! If this doens't work, as for myself atleast, I will never ever buy a Samsung phone again! // Dissapointed SGH-P510 owner :/

  • via infrared. nothing, it does not work. u cant send or recieve stuff from other phones or computer!. u should buy a nokia

  • The real fact is every1 who have S p510 come across the same big problem - transfering photos via Ir to PC. Me too. I tried IrDA with serial port & USB - both failure. Working properly as a hardware inside PC but the problem is the stupid phone. There is no driver for P510 and that which I'm downloaded from SAMSUNG web site working bad too. My conclusion - I will never buy phone with camera - any !

  • it's the worst phone.you con't send or recive via infrared...actualy you can't do mutch things with it. if u want to buy a phone i sugest u to buy a Nokia.

  • hey, I just want to know how the infarred actually works, because I can't send pictures and stuff to people using infarred and I cant recieve anything back either. AND If I purchase a data cable will I be able to send things from my computer to my phone, or from my phone to the computer?

  • I was also wondering if you could have sound wilst filming

  • i have been using the phone for about a year, its a very impressive phone, but i have a BIG problem with the text funtion, its a real pain in the neck!!! i use a nokia phone too, but there is a big difference really, so i hardly use it for text.. too much time wasting.

  • This phone is the best one I've ever had! Normally I'm a Nokia fan, but I just had to have this samsung!! What I really liked was the buttom there opens up the phone! I was imprest! The only "problem" was that it couldn't be quiert! If the tone was gone the vabration was on - that wasn't so smart - but still I love the phone! Another "problem" was that other people liked it too, s� in new years eve 2004/2005 my dear samsung was stoolen!!! I have never seen it since - so I have bourght an other one, an I love this one even more (is the same samsung p510!!) So by this phone - it's the best! (Sorry the language - I'm not so good to write english!)

  • [b]het is een goede telefoon, alleen hoe krijg je goedkoop de foto's op je computer... englishtranslation: It's a good kwalitie ophone, but how do you get the pictures a bit cheap on your computer.[/b]

  • Just been reading all your comments.. seems we all have very different phones????!!!! I agree that the auto flip s cool.. thats why I bought it.. and yes u can open it manually if you want to. Txting on it is a bit of a pain.. especially if your used to Nokia. It is a bit slow when trying to look at pictures and saving things. If u have a missed call u dont know until u open up the phone which is annoying sometimes. I am having a big problem trying to transfer pics from my phone to my lap top.. have the data cable but not making any sense.. can anyone help? Another bad thing is when using T9 it does not store new words for you so u have to type them in EVERY time!!! On the whole though its small.. cute and I like it. I have never seen anyone with it yet.. had mine since Dec 2004.. cost me around 300 Euros from Amsterdam (got it as a prezzie though so didnt actually cost me a penny)!! xx

  • Can u help? I am trying to gt my photos from my phone onto my lap to. I have tried infa red and didnt work.. Now I have the data cable plugged in but still no luck.. please help!

  • autofolder is a nice function but can you open it manual without destroy the autofolder or something else?

  • does the p510 have voice calling ?

  • I can't seem to get the infrared to work, how does it work?? Does anyone have any ideas that can help.

  • My phone turns off every time I plug in the data cable, whether the other end is connected to the computer or not. And it wouldn't turn on whilst the cable is still connected. Anyone know what the problem is?

  • This phone has got a brilliant camera and features to go with it. The button to open the phone on the side could be set to go faster because when answering calls it is not apporiate for answering calls quickly. I do think that beside that the phone is a very good handset, and is in my opnion the flip version of the Samsung E800 model which has equal features. There is also a button on the exterior of the phone for quick answer to the camera which can be useful for situations where you want to take pictures without people noticing (that is if you turn the flash of first as it is a bit bright!).

  • I love the phone BUT: 1) texts are stored on the SIM and so it fills really quickly. You can move them to the phone but you have to do them one by one = major pain 2)T9 text by default is in upper case so you have to change it for each text you send (you cannot change the settings) = another major pain!

  • i think P510 is quite interesting in the functions especially autoflip is cool.

  • i have this phone and it is great but in fsct i want to change it. firsly can i change the meniu with infrared cable? this phone has god a very bad camera.pictures on your desktop are very bad if you transfer them. i hope e720 has a good camera...

  • this phone is excelent except mms is incopatible with a motorola phone

  • This would have to be one of our biggest sellers so far this year. Very well made phone. With over 100 sold this month, not one has come back for repair.

  • i like this phone alot it is da bomb

  • I love the autoflip but can it manual...b'cause i'm afraid that auto can destroy the phone inside..

  • Hi...Can anyone tell me which one is the better between P510 and E310...?Thanks a lot.

  • This phone is actually the best phone i have ever bought, i definately reccommend it to anyone who is planning on buying a phone, the automatic flip is amazing and very handy, i am really pleased with it !

  • is this phone really bad?

  • This is really a terrible model, in fact may be this is the worst phone Samsung has produced in quite some time. I expected it to be something close to E700/710 but in fact it is much worse. There are some serious faults and misses in the firmware: NO "insert sound" in mms option (yes you heard right - you cannot send sound via mms in this 2004 model), NO real silent mode (the "silent" mode always includes vibra), NO indication whatsoever of a missed call on the front LCD display (you will have to open the phone to see if you have missed calls), no LCD brightness adjustment, poor text input system,ugly text font (very minuscule in sms text, patheticly large in number input), Java games are available only via WAP (no cable or IR support for them). In addition it seems like the hardware part of the phone is very weak - everything is sooo slow in the menu and the animations are like slideshows :((( My previous Samsung S500 was far more quicker. Take my advice - save your money and don't waste them on this crap phone!

  • Hi to everybody! well,i was looking and thinking about this phone long period of time!i didn`t stop comparing it with other samsung models like E715 E600 and others......but still my personal preference belongs to P510! only the one can know ,who has at least held this phone in his/her hands, which inspiration gives this automatic flip!it`s just amazing!and also it has such conviniet divices as voice record and other. tomorrow i`m buying it!good luck to everybody who is not indifferent towards this model

  • Very nice and stilish.Can you give me one(:

  • Does anyone know how to keep the t9 dictionary activated all the time? as i dont know how! Also is it just me or does it only save some words in the dictionary. One last thing is there anyway that you can change it so that capitals are not a default. Thanks

  • shame we can't erase the factory ringtones/wallpapers to make a bit more space.

  • the phone can hold 200 sms messages. (+sim card memory) I have no idea if p510 is 2 or 3 band... Some web sites say it's dual band, others say it's tri-band.

  • how many SMS messages can the fone hold? whats the difference between tri band and dualband? xx

  • does anyone know where i can get this phone in the light violet color?!?!?! how much is it usually

  • Halo,,,I would like to transfer the photo to my laptop,,, who else can show me the website in teaching me how to do it??

  • jolin....do you get the answer already? Can i use computer to transfer the ringtone and wallpaper to the phone and use it???� ?? If yes, could you teach me how to do it??? Thank you very much�

  • Hey..in all websites it says that samsung P510 has voice memo...but I just cant find it in the manual and in the phone itself..someone help me!..wat is goin on?!

  • the phone does actually have a silent button, apparently if u press and hold the # key, the silent function is activated but as soon as the phone swithes off it is deactivated.

  • thanks rabie!

  • I think any irda adapter (5 to 10$ ones) should work with it. I have a built in irda adapter on my laptop I used that to transfer. I used to have a wiretek irda adapter. It works fine with all nokia phones. It wouldn't cause any problems with samsung.

  • rabies which model of irda adapter you have?i would like to by one but i don`t know which one is working properly with this phone!thanks anyway!!

  • you can transfer photos to your computer with the help of the samsung's easy gprs program which can be found at samsung's web site after a little dig. you can transfer wallpapers and ringtones to your phone by using infra (with easy gprs program) . I couldn't transfer any java games to the phone though. If anyone knows about that pls write here how to do it.

  • ok so how do you keep this on T9 THEN

  • A excellant phone, but ive been searching every where for a leather case and cannot be found! could you send me any info where i can - thanks

  • i fink dis fone is wel groovy every1 i show it 2 is amazed how it opens & closes by itself! about T9.....mine stays on T9 all the time unles i change it but its always on caps which is ded annoyin any1 no how 2 keep it lowercase??

  • Can I transfer the photos in my computer via IRDA?

  • Brilliant

  • Can i use computer to transfer the ringtone and wallpaper to the phone and use it???

  • Nice phone and with a Bond like Auto Flip :) How Cool . Anyone confirm that you can make the phone TriBand , if so anyone tried this ? . I have also heard the Wap is only 1.2.1 and not 2.0 , is this true

  • thought that there would be sound on the video little disappoint that here isn't

  • Looks like a very nice fone. must have 1! only thing is can u record sounds and set them 4 ringtones? If not....... im gettin 1 anyway!!!!! xx

  • A good phone, but with some bugs: - don't have silent option - a missed call apears only for max 1 minute, after that you don't see them, you must press vol up... - u cant send picture via IRDA

  • I would love to own one of the samsung p510,ilove the looks and the fetures it offers.whats the cost of one

  • I think that it is top bombing best phone ive seen

  • its definitely dual band. buying phones is a pain in the arse. why dont they include certain features as standard on every phone instead of mixing and matching. There is no reason why all new phones arent at least tri-band.

  • thiis is a fantastic fone, had it a week now and my god what a sex machine! the only thing is..does anyone know how to keep it on T9 when textin?? spanks x

  • thiis is a fantastic fone, had it a week now and my god what a sex machine! the only thing is..does anyone know how to keep it on T9 when textin?? spanks x

  • Well i recently purchased this phone bout a week ago from this, since i got it it has been a well worth phone, for what i purchased it at. it cost me �145. intotal savin on average but �100. well worth buying

  • typo...states that the P510 has --64-- channel polyphony...

  • The international Samsung websites (and all other sites reviewing this phone)states that that P510 has channel polyphony and triband. The Samsung site in Sweden, however, states that the P510 has 40 channel polyphony, and only dualband. Does this mean that they have stripped down some features of the P510 that is being marketed in Scandinavia or is this merely an error? Would any Scandinavian P510 owners shed light on this?

  • great phone indeed.

  • Does anyone know if they can default the text message setting to T9 instead of having to change it every time?

  • Really a good looking phone! I am waiting for it. Btw, according to the review from www.mobile-review.com, you have to enable the tri-band manually.

  • wat a quality phone i have got to get it

  • anyone know whether t-mobile in the uk will release this hset?

  • I thought this phone was triband...I remember seeing this site show it was triband a few weeks ago, and now it's dual band? Can someone please confirm the network frequencies it can roam on?

  • i have this fone and it is sick... i love it so much the autoflip and everything... but there is one thing that i dont understand.. in all websites they say that it has a voice memo... i have read the manuel and it doesnt say nothing about that... someone help me how to use the voice memo plz !!!

  • You can open it manually and it won't demage the autoflip. As far as I can tell the autoflip feature is motor-driven and not spring loaded which I first thought it would be. I've tried it both ways and I don't think the autoflip will be worn in anytime soon, it's Samsung...the average quality is very good in their phones.

  • how much is it.

  • It's a cool phone.How much is it?.Because I want ot have it.And the autoflip is cool.

  • DAMN.....I want this phone soo bad!!!Autoflip man....AUTOFLIP!!!!!! how cool is that!!!!!!!???

  • This is a phat phone!!!! but do you HAVE to use the autoflip? can't you open it manual? or does that destroy the motor inside?....

  • What effects will there be for the camera, hopefully its not just the 4 i know of, serpia, poster, negative and gray, will they add any more effects when they release this mobile phone?

  • i love it

  • The AutoFolder is so cool!!

  • Its a S300 but with camera and flash!

  • so waiting for this to come to south africa hope it does

  • when will this be out in the united states?

  • excellent!!!

  • nice phone...
