Samsung X510 - User Reviews

  • Hey this seems like an interesting phone!

  • My first phone six years ago. I was ten. At the time i was ten and it was amazing. Me and my friends would turn on our phones and share them and we would listen each others ring tones and take pictures ( kid stuff). I lost it. Sice then i had a samsung star, a iphone 3gs 16 gig and for another network and combined with the iphone a nokia 1208 and now i m back to samsung using the galaxy mini 2. Good phone when i picked it up.

  • I love mine. It turned 5,9years old at the 1:st of August.

  • I have a problem with my phone, I can't personilize a name, I can't take photos and I can't send or receive mmses. What might be the problem?

  • how do you text photos?

  • the password is (00000000)

  • quit, but very limeted.

  • the password for this cell phone is = 00000000 "eight 0"

  • it's a very nice phone for woman and specialy for old people. with a very suitable price. the menu is very simple. but the big probleme is infra red. it's make you crazy at first. it cant send any thing exept the phone number. and you cant transfer your photo to your computer and the only way to transfer your photo is MMS, and for this you have to pay money.

  • is texting fast?

  • I don't really know the password..I wonnt to make it with pass. can sombody answer me?

  • The X510 has an integrated IR-port but you can use it only for loading and downloading entries in your phonebook.

  • yo dat phone is good on da outside nd terrible on the inside u cnt even download nuttin on it no ring tones or anything on it dats kinda wak

  • how the hell do use that infrared thing ima trynna download sum tunes but it dnt work

  • how do u even use the infrared

  • you go on setting then extra settings and press on active folder

  • "i've had this phone for just over a week and i'm already looking around for a different one to buy. the x510 sucks. the most basic of functions like calling and texting takes more steps to accomplish. fine, its supposed to be an inexpensive phone, but samsung should have atleast given it a decent system." -quoted from the first opinion AND i totally agree!

  • How to add line feed (new line of text) while typing an sms in x510?

  • I got this phone last December 2007, and I've recently decided to sell it.

  • Samsung PC Studio II PIMS & File Manager works perfectly provided you manually type in "9600" inside the File>Setup>Speed box. For some reason 9600 is not included in the drop down selection but that's the only speed that works 100% of the time with the X510. Start>Control Panel>Wireless Link> Hardware>Properties>IRDA settings, set the speed to 9600 then reboot. You can now download Photos (which are quite clear by the way!) and do all the backups you need. PC Studio can be downloaded from the Samsung website for free.

  • hi there, great features, great design, great structure. i love this fone so much.... so can any one, gve this fone. cause i still dnt hve it plz..............

  • i can't use the infrared to exchange picture. pls,i want help.Is there any another way to send them to computer.Is there a cable for this phone.

  • I can't operate the Infered activity and Data cable of this particular set. Please anyone help me.

  • Heres the sad truth. The Infrared of the phones is good onle for sending contact information... meaning you can only send phonebook entries through IR. This is rather disappointing. The only way for you to get your pics out of your phone is by MMS it to a phone that can be connected to a computer and vice versa.

  • can anyone please tell me how to recieve or transfer picture....relly crazy about it....

  • i'm unable to transfer and recieve tones and pics through the infrared. what can i do to achieve this tasks?

  • please help me...i don't know how to send my picture to my laptop. i'm using infrared to send the pictures.my Pc is looking for an installer and i don't really know where or how to get that.thanks a lot!!!

  • hi there the problem in ma fone is that the Infra port doesn't working wid any fone so is there any one that got the same problem plz let me know ...

  • hey!! can anyone plzzz tell me how to transfer pix to pc...

  • i've had this phone for just over a week and i'm already looking around for a different one to buy. the x510 sucks. the most basic of functions like calling and texting takes more steps to accomplish. fine, its supposed to be an inexpensive phone, but samsung should have atleast given it a decent system. if you think you're interested in getting the x510, i suggest you look elsewhere.

  • can u program the phone to answer on opening clamshell

  • Excellent phone, great design....i dont care about pics musics and stuff..if i wanted good picture quality ill just buy my self a Canon D40, Music i'll buy an IPOD... GREAT PHONE

  • X510 has little memory, no PC communication (IR acts only as modem). However the screen is bright, has big letters, loud sound. A good cheap phone for little kids or seniors.

  • The infrared can only be used to transmit contacts from the address book to a PC or another X510. It will not communicate with my PDA. There is free software from Samsung to manage the contacts, ringtones and wallpapers but I am unable to get it to work, even with the proper datacable. No Bluetooth, and the camera is of abysmal quality. The T9 text input aid is terribly quirky and annoying, always the first thing I disable when I try to send a text message. Polyphonic ringtones only in 2007?!?!? Come on Samsung, this is way below an entry level phone, this is mocking your clients.

  • copper roxxx. this fone is the bombbxx kisses, candyxoxo

  • how can i load my mixit

  • I am very much impressed on Samsung X510 and I would like to know whether I can send/receive data/pictures either from computer or any other mobile, by using Data cable or Blue tooth. Awaiting your valued information.

  • hi!!where can i find the 'sent messages' folder????

  • make it FM Radio,MP3,sms ringtones facilities. it will rock !!!!!!!

  • can some1 please tell me how u can send things to this Phone via infrared on this phone please

  • Please , i need to know how to transfer photos from the phone to my laptop. please reply on email [email protected] THANKS.

  • hey..somone plz tell me...how can i transfer my pix into pc...

  • can this phone takes mxit

  • yes you may use the alarm � keypads respond fast camera is fine :) though user friendliness is ok but not especially when sending i have the champage so sophisticated! overall its a gud buy! unfortunately it does not allow you to change skins like other samasung phones

  • hello people! i just want to know..can we use alarm clock in this phone? how? pls help..thanks! ;-)

  • nice............................................­................................................­................................................­................................................­................................................­........mobile

  • good mobile

  • sexy mobile its not a good mobile sexsexesex

  • its a good folding mobile with VGA camera and memory.

  • this phone is not gud as it luks.but it has such gud qualities.the camera result is gud but it is not a video camera.overall its a gud mobile.

  • @ aleksandar When u write sms, there is option "send" and "send&save", if u chose "Send" u can't find this sms in your "sent msg". sorry for my english :)

  • Phone is not as good as it looks

  • You can use infrared port, and usb on x510 with a program caled -Mobiledit-. It's free, but you can't put games until you buy the program. P.S Sorry for my English

  • How do you find 'sent messages' ??? I can see inbox, and outbox but no sent messages........

  • X510 is a great phone..... it is defintely value for money. It has a VGA camera which is reasonably good and extremely light in weight with a long lasting battery. Its a must buy for all who want to have good decent basic phone.

  • Crap phone, just bought it because my Samsung x510 screen was broken. And this was a cheap one. Just wanted another samsung so i could use the phonebook again. Took me about 1,5 hours to get the phonebook on this new mobile. But i finally got the job done. But still got a question, i only got about 6-7 ringtones, they all sound like crap !. I had a really good ringtone i want to use. But with the samsung software i couldn't upload it. It's an mmf file. Please does someone know how i can fix this. Really would like to have this ringtone back because i won't use any of the standard available ones. You can contact me on [email protected]. (Cause i will forget to check this website again :)) Thanks in advance

  • This phone is not worthy of my opinion! However, how do you set the alarm?????? How do you use the organiser options???? How do you use or set anything on this empty peace of space????? I've given up on using this useless phone, but, I will stick with Samsung as I do like their phones....just not the X510!

  • it's value for money. been using it for 3 months now and never been more happy. though it has a basic camera and some of its features are basic, but it is good enough for simple usages. fully recommend!

  • As mind numbingly slow as the C300. Unless it is completely free I don't understand why it could be considered value for money. There are plenty of cheap older phones that are less painful to use.

  • Is it possible to deactivate t9 input, it's making me crazy

  • I still have this x510 and I am very happy.

  • I've had this phone for about 3 months now and I'm still really happy with it. The infrared connection works fine with my computer, I haven't tried linking it to another infrared phone but I'm sure it'll work out. So if you are bored with the wallpapers or something, you can always upload something else to the phone. It's a bit annoying that the dictionary-function always turns on when you start a new text-message, definately something I had to get used to and still have a bit of a fight with. The camera is fine, you should'n't compare it to your average digital camera, but I think it's very decent in case you don't want to use it professionally or to take extremely beautiful pics. The max resolution is 640x480 so that's alright. This was the perfect phone for me, not too expensive, but still very very decent! :D

  • what do we have to write using such big digits? Are all we stupid?

  • To communicate with your PC, download and install the "PC Link Software" from here: The rest is very simple.

  • :)

  • how the f*** does the infrared work?

  • Does the Samsung X510 work for MixIt??

  • I bought this phone 25 March 2007 and discovered my service provider don't support it and then i found that i can't even get a data cable for my pc to connect. I cant even surve the net right? Im in South-Africa Service Provider:Vodacom Any help if you can?

  • please, could anybody tell me how to deactivat the GPRS-function. Also how to takeaway the GPRS-connection from the soft-button. i dont want to use it and i get crazy about that. thank you for helping

  • This is the stupidest phone i have ever had - no features

  • I'm thinking about buying this cute phone but I've heard that it hasn't got a snoozing option for the alarm clock? Is it really true??

  • Cute design.performance is good except the loud speaker.

  • Please tell me - how to send photos to PC.Also please inform me about infrared option in this phone. Prashant

  • Somebody please tell me how does the infrared works?? It's seriously driving me up the wall. I can't receive any pictures through infrared and the worst part is I can't send my pictures to someone through infrared. Infrared capability? What's the point of it if you can't send and receive pictures through infrared to other phones or to a pc? Someone please look into this matter very seriously. TQ

  • how does these infrared work? please help me tnx

  • i have bought this master piece just today. this is a gem and worth every penny spend.what samsung has packed in this phone is i believe is waht the true maning of 'worth" shouldbe.Quality ,style and features that too at an increadible price,its really great joy to have this phone.samsung has indeed rewarded thaeir customers by offering this phone at so low price without compromising not at all in quality and styling. i recomand this as a must buy for those who prefer to play safe.

  • Please advise me how to activate my loudspeaker/handsfree kit on my Samsung X510

  • how does these infrared work? and about text display, i think it will be better if we can have a dislay option for time, date or logo one at a time, because i only want time on my wallpaper screen and i enable it, it display both logo, time and date at the same time.

  • I 've bougt a new phone x510 a few days ago.It's usefull but how can I take my photos from my phone to my laptop computer? Thank you...

  • how do u change the samsung phone ( X510 ) from line 2 back to line 1 ?

  • I'm about to buy this phone in few days for my wife. Never use it before, but i'm guessing that this phone is great. For me? I'm gonna get myself X680... it's surely greater. Actually,this gonna be my 'hijrah' from cliche' nokia to samsung.

  • how can i transfer photos from x510 to pc?

  • I wonder if this phone has some, so called bugs , fixed. It predecessor x210 had some serious lacks like short battery authonomy and was unable to vibrate and ring at the same time. Other thing, it says at manufacterers web page that this phone can play "only" 16-poly tones. Is that something that seriosly deminishes quality of midi ringtones?

  • nice fone 4 starters,is easy to use with open keypad.ladies smack it

  • Its a very formal mobile set according to ladies because the set is very cute like a girl.

  • would have been better if it have video or at least it should be a little smaller. this is x680 without the external screen and inferior internal screen SO it should be a lot cheaper! i hope. :)

  • Add FM facility to it then it will be highly demanded.

  • make it FM Radio,MP3,sms ringtones facilities. it will rock !!!!!!!

  • I m first good design
