Guys when my mobile was dying I transferred my pictures to my PC, and noticed battery charging via USB port. It taken little longer. Now I switch off my cell and charge via USB pot of my PC. SAVED MY SONY ERICSSON. and thanks to comment from ROMMY i will clean it up and make it work like new. Thanks Sony for this platform we can share.

i used this phone since april 2007 till yesterday 22.5.17 when it stopped charging. service people say cant be repaired. very nice phone no battery or any trouble. joy stik was stuck some times may be due to dust.

OMG, I still remember when first time played QuadraPop in 2008 and then my mother give this phone to me when i was in junior high school, & be my first phone. We (me,my mother, & my brother) played QuadraPop as a competitive one. It's just like simple game but very addictive. What a memory !! This phone actually bring me to become a gamer. I played so many games with this phone. Assassin Creed series, Real Football series, Pro Evolution Soccer, Asphalt Series, Prince of Percia series, and many more. My mother give this phone to his relative in 2012. That time i just feel nothing cause I have new phone called Nokia C3-00. But after 2-3 month later until now, i just very-very miss this phone so bad.

At 6 years old, and being second hand, its the best phone I've ever had. Great battery life (still on original battery). The battery life is one of the best features for me. 3 days without a charge is very nice. Easy to navigate, although as well known, the joystick can be a pain. The stick actually got quite faulty at one time but it came back to life and has worked perfectly ever since. With the ability to take snaps, check my email and do light browsing, its so handy for the boring user like me who only wanted a phone to speak and text people with. Awesome!

i have been using this phone since its release and so far the only disadvantage is the browser joystick which died pretty fast

my fone fell on the ground several times but its working fine. I wonder wat this fone is made off. Battery back up is below average but its camera seems to be a gimmick in this type of fone but mind u its a 1.3 camera but picture quality is sometimes as good as of a 3.5mp camera(light is good).Earphone is loud and clear and display is small but effective with better brightness.

Its a good phone with all the basic features, The only demerit is its back cover is very loose.

Well k510 was expensive back then. If you're planning to buy another SE phone, skip C510. Go for Elm or C901 instead.

A good and sturdy phone for its budget price. Used this for 3.5 years and still good. Fell many times already but still working fine as ever. I'm planning to buy the C510 to get bigger screen and 3G/HSDPA but will still use this as 2nd phone. The downside might be the small resolution camera and no memory slot but what more can be asked for a considerable price when I bought it back in 2006.

Best..........Only if it had memory slot and more features

K510 user

I have used this model for more than 27 months. I have found it to be amazing for what I paid. The only problem I had in this long span is the joystick which broke doen after 10 months. I got it repaired and covered the joystick with a piece of paper. It has worked great since. PROS: great camera, good looking & lightning fast UI, decent speaker, good voice calling features, connectivity(PC,IR,USB), 256K colours, battery life, keypad CONS: No memory slot, No radio, No Password keylock, screen resolution, delicate joystick

Cata

I have this phone for 3 years and besides the moral depreciation and lack of new and very useful features that become standard for the phones today, the mai problem with this phone is the joystick - problem that appear in the 1-st year. Secondary, the screen is very small if you want to navigate a website (you probably decide to give up after one try or two), or even to see a photo. The camera is very small too. On the other hand, for the main purpose (to receive and make calls), it's just ok.

Anonymous

Though I agree with you about the joystick.

Anonymous

Because its plastic :-)You got it for a very good price. What more could you ask. It's got a good camera actually. Try uploading your pics to a pc. You'll be surprised. Don't just shoot when there's too much light. Pics tend to overexpose.

I luv it

Other than the absence of a memory card slot this phone is great. It's so customisable. Customise it at will, from ringtones, alerts, shortcuts, screen savers, wallpapers to themes. Heck even contacts have pics poppin up when you're just receiving text. It also runs most JAVA applications and games. The camera is great too? clear pictures all the time, anytime with long video recordings. Too bad it doesnt have a memory card slot but you can allways transfer files through its bluetooth or infrared port. Buy it its a great phone

It does have Speakerphone and it also comes in red. I luv my K510i!!

the worst phone from sony ericsson. - below average camera. - no zoom at 1.3mp resolution. - no card slot. - poor media player(unable to play all mp3 files-created at different compression rates) - battery life sucks...really sucks - the joystick got problematic just after 6 months of use. i had bought this phone in may,2007. i loved this phone initially, but later it became a pain in the neck. i really reget having preferred a sony ericsson over nokia. to be frank i got attracted by its features at such a price. but all that glitters is not gold....!!!

I've been using this phone for about 2 years and am very satisfied with it. As a student, the voice recorder has been most helpful to me. I can record my lectures. Other phones in that price range give 3-5 mins recording time. A recorder alone is almost the price of the phone. As well, the camera is excellent for the price. I have gotten absolutely beautiful, sharp photos. I had read comments here and bought a case for my phone, plus covered the joystick with a bit of clear plastic and have no trouble with dust fouling up the joystick. It has remained clean as a whistle. For my limited pocket, I could not ask for more in a phone and I am certain it will last until I complete my university program. Thank you Sony.

The phone is absolutely damn good!! i've used it for about (just) one year. The only problem is the joystick!! its going right if i press down, or going left if i move it up, .... but!! i will use this phone until i can bought new phones!! but i will never sell it!! ♥it so much!

I don't know about filtering text messages. But you can filters calls. Only receive those that you want. Go to Settings, then Calls, then Manage Calls, then select Accept calls. Using this feature, you can only allow ten numbers but you can use Groups if you want more.

This phone is nice and simple to use,however as i get a lot of joke text the soft ware does not allow transfer to lap top or computer. Also after about a year of use it is now getting to the stage where i need to use old tooth brush on and around the joy stick as it is prone to dust and starts to allow scrolling in one direction only otherwise.

At last gsmarena has indicated the k510's screen size. Been looking all over the internet to find that.

Yes it has bluetooth. The sound is good though you'll hear "cracks" when the volume is in its maximum.

Dude, buy it, the sound is awesome.

I have this phone for a year and.. no problems at all :D I know, it would be better if there was a card slot, but... its fine for me like this, if we are looking in phone, not an cd-player :) The phone rocks indeed.

great phone. another similar phone to this is the w200i. it has a memory card slot to hold lots of songs on the walkman.

Susie Luke

Thanks to all these reviews, as I have just bought one for my self as a first phone. I'm awful when it comes electronical software but like the review said it was user friendly! Well done sony ericsson!

Anonymous

I had this as my first phone for a year. For the price of around �30 plus a tenner for airtime, it was really good. Bluetooth, camera, video and mp3 player are just some of the features. However, it can only hold around 3 or 4 songs and has no space for a memory card. But for a first phone or for pre/early teens this ticks most boxes. A grest easy to use phone.

Great phone for the price. Beats nokia at this price range.

Can anyone tell me the k510s screen size in inches? Is it 1.7"?

How about the sound quality? I converted mine to 64 kbps at stereo. I'll try below 64.

Mohamed

I owned this phone 2 yrs ago and till now I think its a great phone it doesn't miss a single thing. Its only disadvantage is not having an external memory and it capture video (QCIF). Other than that its very small, light in weight and nice in look. Its definetly the phone to buy. Even as an mp3 player its great. Going out at the morning I upload on it the music I want about 26 songs and enjoy them for the rest of the day. Its battery is very effecient. I used also in browsing the web and its browser is bretty cool. you can add many java app. witch could turn it to an even greater phone. i.e. mini opera, google maps,..etc. By the way to get to use its memory at its max capacity try converting the mp3s to mono and bitrate 24kps. That will give you a space of about 16 MB for every 25 songs. Keeping the rest of the about 10 MB for your app.s and pictures. Hope it helped.

Brad

i bought this one off of ebay to replace my nokia. and im not a person who needs a full keyboard and all that expensive things. if you just want a phone that looks nice, is small, and light on weight, then this was perfect for you &me. ive only had it for a few weeks, but it has a very sexy look to it for a phone, as well as the full compatibility. You get text messaging support (text, video, and image), the keys and the joy stick in the middle light up green as well. it does take a little time if your not technologic to get used to, but thats only a day or so. if your someone who just wants a phone that looks nice and dosent care for anything extra, then this i think you will enjoy.

This 4n is really great! 'm usin it for an year now and its workin properly still! nw 'm gonna sell it only coz i wanna buy new 4n!

For the price it�s an Excelent Phone! It�s very faster and that�s great! I�m a Java Game programmer and I can say that this phone is excelent running 2D and 3D games! So if you have not much money, buy it! Bye! www.capivaras.com.ar

I forgot about the shutter sound. You can turn it off. Just press and hold # (in standby mode).

Anonymous

K510's display is hardly legible under direct sunlight. You have to find a better angle. Adjusting the brightness level helps a little. Still a brilliant dislay if you use it indoors or under a shade. As for the ringing volume, k510 is quite loud. Although I happen to notice that some ringtones don't play loud enough compared to others. Try donwloading Sony Ericsson G900 ringtones. It's very loud... :-)

Anonymous

And is the screen readible in the sunlight? Are ringtones loud? Is it really not possible to turn off shutter sound? I now have SE j110... I know, very basic but ringtones are loud and screen is readible in bright sunlight, although colors fade.

Anonymous

I don't know these negative comments about k510's display. It's good. You can't expect more than that. k510's between lower-midrange type of phone. Try looking at the price. Don't compare it with phones that got 240x320 resolution. Better, compare it with other phones with the same specs and see which is better...

Anonymous

The k510's display is a bit "pixelated" as the case of all 128x160 resolution displays. But the color & contrast is better compared to others phones with same screen resolution. Try reading GSMArena's review...

Can you add words to the t9 dictionary? In t250 it is not possible but in my current phone J110 it is possible. Is it possible to use a sound profile so the phone only beeps when call received?

No FM Radio!No memory card slot!.Display is Very bad.Poor Music Player.What a disgusting phone by Sony Ericsson...........

This Phone's sound and camera is good.It has Bluetooth/Infrared/Usb.But its headset's sound leaks bass.Keypad is very bad.(Ok button and the Joystick doesn't work properly)Altough good and slim design by Sony Ericsson.But change the Keypad........

1.3 MP Cameras are recently backdated, but a superb camera is there in K510i. Most others company provide those 1.3 MP Camera with just 1280X1024 Pixel size. But in this Phone, camers produce True 1.3 MP Picture & Quality also. Its a good and cheap mobile, but not with its MEMORY(26MB Free).

hasan hadadi

i used to have this phone before and i have to say that this phone beats most of the cellphones that i had. it's cheap, its camera is good, the sound quality is also fairly good, and i think you can overlook the 28 mb size of the phone since it has a lot of other good features in it. if you're a cellphone user who likes to put all kinds of stuff in their phones then this phone isn't for you but if you like a phone that's simple, easy to use, and affordable - then this phone is highly recommended.

Five times? You've got to be kidding. Maybe you just don't know how to use the joystick. Haha. Sure, mine's has this problem of not responding sometimes when i press downwards, but thats after using it for a year.

Akshay

it's a complete SHIT phone.trust me...you DO NOT want to buy it.you can bank upon this comment.the joystick is just not right.i reckon it's a manufacturing defect which probably has been the cause of SE not marketing this phone at all...why else do you think would a phone with THESE many features for this crappy a price not be marketed AT ALL?!coming back to the joystick issue,my handset was COMPLETELY REPLACED 5 times within one year-i have documents to prove that.the problem of the bad joystick STILL persists(now my warranty is void).on 3 occasions the joystick gave away ON THE SAME DAY i got it back from the "repairs".i completely regret my decision of having bought this pain-in-the-u-know-what phone.read no more,my friend-please give this phone a miss...albeit the camera is super fantastic,though;but that's about all that's good in this phone...

I don't know. If you've already turned off both delivery report and the vibration, and you still have that problem, maybe it's time for you to have it checked and repaired, if it's worth the trouble. :-)

The best phone! Still waiting for the phone (Sony Ericsson to be specific) good enough to replace my k510, considering the price of course. Hehe. Heard and read this G502, as reviews went, it's quite good, and has a price between Low-midrange phones. Now that's a news... Though I still have to wait around 6 months after its release before I decide. Go Sony Ericsson!!!

"Expect the unexpected". This phone proves that saying. It's a unique phone. I bought this phone after I lost my last one (i have a horrible reputation w/ losing things). I actually just wanted a low cost phone w/ a camera. This was recommended by the sellers and so i decided id give it a try. I have had alot of motorola phones, and this phone is alot better for the cost. It has bluetooth (which alot of 'cheap'moto phones don't have). It also has video recording, coice recording and the pictures are AMAZING! I don't think I've had a phone with such an amazing quality. It also can upload to my computer which is also great. I recently got a new motorola phone and my little brother spoilt it a week ago...and i've been using my sony ericsson again. IT is simply said "ONE of the best phones I've had!!" I love it!

Pole

Is it better than w200? I can take k510 or w200.

Serbian BoY

This is the best phone.He is very good,and he have a good camera.I bought him before 3 days and I think that is fine phone.Only defect is small memory,but I think that is enough for 7-8 songs and greatly pictures.I suggest:"The best of the best"!!!:D KOSOVO IS SERBIA FOREVER AND TOGETHER

MilanM

Hi, I am from Kolkata, India. Using this phone from Nov.,'08!! Excellent value for money phone and battery life is gr8! When using multimedia or browsing the net, battery is less. Browsing with OperaMini is nice, the inbuilt browser provided is bad. I feel the phone is good enough with only 28Mb of internal memory. Voice recording is bad. The camers is nice, though a bit noisy in low light. Pity video is only QCIF and so is most SEs !! Thats perhaps the only bad point. However, the voice and sound quality of the video is good. Joystick is good and I don't think it'll break in two years. Only pushing down is a bit hard. Enjoy and take good care of your phone.

Have had this fon 4 over 6 mnths. Luv it much but recently dropt it and sim to have affected the internal speaker.

@ ali: You should have your unit replaced. And insisted on it. Maybe its the store where you bought your unit that has the problem. As for me (i got k510) i have a one year warranty & one month replacement. When you bought your unit, you should have asked about their replacement policy and warranty. And you should have bought it from an SE authorized dealer. Seems to me you bought it from some shop who offers no warranties...

ali solatzadeh

Dear Sirs, First of all I would like to thank you for your best efforts for production the best goods in the world. My name is Ali Solatzadeh from Iran I am one of your customer. Because of this fact that I know the Sony Ericsson is famous and reliable company in the world specially in my country, Iran, I want to say you my problem and I hope that you will solve my problem because I have searched for the email address of directors of Sony Ericsson company for six month and now I think that finally I could find the relative email address: I have problem since 6 month ago because in October 2007 we have bought one Sony Ericsson mobile phone K800i from one shop that in that shop we could find many Sony Ericsson mobile phones, so after I have talked to manger of shop I have bought one Sony Ericsson mobile phone K800i . After only two days working with the above mentioned mobile phone I found that this phone had problem and it never turn on. So I referred to the shop and say this problem to the manger of shop and he told me that Sony Ericsson Company did not get any guarantee for its mobiles, I say to the manager of shop that it is not possible but he did not give me another K800i phone. so I have to go another shop for fixing the problem of Sony Ericsson mobile phone K800i by my money, after some examine by in charge of person (fixer of problem) he told my that it is not good for my to repair the Sony Ericsson mobile phone K800i because the cost of this repairing is not logical and so high, so I was very angry and throw my bad Sony Ericsson mobile phone K800i with it's equipment in the nearest trash can and come back to our home and now I have not any mobile phone. So I have a question of you: 1- Is it possible for Sony Ericsson Company which is one of the best companies in the world to refuse to give the guarantee for its productions to customers!? So we respectfully ask you to answer my question because I have many friends in our city and always they are asked me about my present problem with my K800i Sony Ericsson mobile phone and why Sony Ericsson refused to give guarantee for changing my phone immediately and because of this fact now they are not satisfy to buy anything from Sony Ericsson company. And they are waiting for my answer. So, I am waiting for your replay. With best regard, Ali solatzadeh Your faithful customer forever

I am using this mobile for almost 6 months now and am quite satisfied with it.It has an excelent camera at this range though the camera lens is frone to dust but can be cleaned.The battery is ok but consumes more when video is recorded.It has felt from my hands for a number of times but is completely ok.with the momory it can take almost 300 photos.I would highly recomend this phone

Atif

The only disadvantge is NO FM. Otherwise, this phone is good.Camera quality is OK. Sound is also ok.Its appearence is far better than other phones of same price bracket.I downloaded themes and games directly from sonyericsson webside & all stuff look and work great.

Love the phone! had it for like 6 months and works perfect. Small problem that the USB stopped working for me, but i bought a bluetooth USB thing for my computer (off ebay for 16CAD w/shipping). 28MB is alot of space if you are putting games on it with a couple of photos and videos taken. gonna use it for another 6 months before I purchase a new phone, and then I will use it as my spare. Definitely buy if you are not going to use it for music. If you want music buy an mp3 phone or buy a seperate mp3 player (usually like 50$ for a 2GB-4GB on ebay).

There's not enough memory to be an mp3 Player and no FM radio. Nice to have on this phone: - Radio for entertainment - Flash for cam - Expandable Memory can support up to at least 1GB

I'm currently a user of this cellphone since August this year and this is an absolutely winning phone that I don't regret using it. Overall, it's worth using K510i but I just abhor its lack of phone memory. This phone also has its disvantages. The specification like earphones is easily broken. Anyway, the design is totally creative.

I don't understand how 28mb is a small memory that is alot that holding alot although i do agree with the joystick problem.

Very nice phone at affordable price.small memory is a mental dissatisfaction in a Gigabyte era, practically affect little if u r not a music maniac. Cool camera, when download in computer. really nice option is panoroma. u can upload 4-5 MP3 yet a space for picture but u have to use data cable to transfer it in a computer.Size is very compact.No problem with navig. key. At last Good cam, good sound but not for MP3 maniac. Really good for executive.Photo call. Huge entry with options, call recoding, speaker , internet but lacks radio.If it would come with FM radio and at least 128 Mb memory it would be the best in such price.

I own a K510i n it's actually cool.No probs wahatsoever,n with a cool price to feature comparison,i'll give it 100% marks.Memory could've been better.But,still as the data cable is bundled,no big issue watsoever.Those having issues should visit the service center.

k510i is good phine but with some problems like very small memory 28 mp only

I have been using this phone for the last 8 months.. Positives: *Bluetooth *INfrared *USB so u have plenty of connection options. plus *Good 1.3 mp camera.. *User interface is not slow. Negatives: *Joystick seems to create problems especially wen wen u press it downwards.. to avoId this problem use keypad numbers to scroll through the menu & use camera specific button for da camera and Shortcut key for Bluetooth .. *Memory is some what low.. it would have been much better if they had given us atleast 64mb. *No Radio

So far my joystick's perfectly fine. No problem. I had it with me almost 5 months now. Maybe SE has fix this problem.

k510i is a gud mobile loaded with lots of features that are not available in other mobiles of the same price range. Being a user of the same since last 1 year my only point of dissatisfaction is it's low memory capacity. But the cool 1.3 mp camera , and sony's sound quality is something you can definitely boast of.

shafin shiney

yeah,i started to using the phone by the last 5mnths.its a gud phone by using anywhere.

I purchased this phone is dec 06 from the telephone booth at the scarborough town center. i got the polished purple, k510a cause i live in canada. This phone suits all my needs, it's fast, sounds good, has a decent camera. over my almost year of use 3 things have happened: the sceen cracked (the faceplate, on the rightmost edge of the viewable screen), the joystick no longer works in the down posistion, and the rear cover is loose, making the battery come out and shut off when in my pocket. i solved this by placing a shim between the battery and the cover. this phone is tough, mine has been dropped MANY times both completely coming apart and staying together, and it's never made a difference. this phone lasted way longer than anything i've used. this is only my first phone, but it's got better software than the nokia brick phones i've used, and is just as tough. sony ericcsons are everywhere in toronto, and i will most likely be upgrading to anohter sony brick phone when my k510a becomes completely unusable. viva brick phone!

hi, guyz, i have been using this model for the last six months..its amazing to notice that this set has not broken despite falling a couple of times from great heights. even the software has not faced any prob.... if you are planning to buy a digital camera, then this model would definitely help u. with a mega pixel of 1.3, it takes great and crystal clear pictures...also, there are great options for taking pics as well. but, if u are a music maniac and willing to listening to music for a long time. this set mite upset u as it does not have either fm connectivity or expendable memory. hence, u can store music for only about 20 minutes. thats all about this....no big deal about recording facilities though cuz they are available in almost all phones of INR 5300 range... I hope this will help you make the best buy

Hats off to Sony Erricson service in India. I posted a compaint to their service center email and got confirmation on Sept 9, 2007 vide ticket no. 71469339. Today is Oct 5 and no reply as yet. It seems that Sony Erricson is just busy manufacturing mobile sets and is leats interested in customer service. VERY DISSPOINTING INDEED. I would have been better off if I had rather relied on some small time manufacturer instead of SONY.

just got my polished purple SE K510i this evening and I'm loving it! i'm kinda' missing the sony ericsson user interface already and that's why i'm having fun playing around with my new k510i. I have the w800i but my sister borrowed it. anyway, i'm giving this new k510i to my brother! he would surely be happy when he gets it in the morning!! hehe. the 28MB memory is not much of a space though. so what i did is i changed the picture size of the camera to 640x480 so that over 300+ pictures can be taken. i squeezed in 4 mp3s and it still has 20MB of space! i also installed a full KJV Bible in it too.. :) it's not much of a full-featured phone, but it's a good phone for it's price. if you want to spend less and get good features, go for ALCATEL C701/C707/C717/C825/S853.. they're very cheap but it's packed with mp3 players, bluetooth, microSD card slot, and FM (on some models).. Alcatel was then a crappy phone, but now they've got good ones to compete with Nokia and Sony Ericsson.. Best of all, you get all these at a very very low price! :)

Just got my phone back from service center. It turns out the software was corrupted probably i've jammed with too much mp3 files 26mb in all. I guess the lesson is don't fill the memory too much, the files will get corrupted and later it affects some other files till it corrupts the software. Leave some free memory for it to breath on. Otherwise phone is still great. Don't expect too much from it, otherwise buy a better phone like the K850i or K800 or better yet Nokia95.

If you don't mind reading, start at the oldest user's opinions. Hope it helps.

To paul: My decision to buy k510 was based mostly on what I read in the reader's opinions. And I have no regrets. You might have read complaints from some, but most opinion is that K510 is a great phone. The best in its class and price. I agree with that. Just like to share some things: Very low memory ( solved with a data cable). The camera can't handle white well (seems to me, it just my phone). And no FM. Overall, its a great phone. Functionality and price, two thumbs up!

Anonymous

Yes you can trust this phone. only problem is , the 28 memory is shared and hence we can use maximum 22 mb free one time. then the camera picture display in phone is also bad. but if we transfer it to computer, it seems to be good. then key pad is little harder, specially soft keys near to joy stick. heard that if a drop of water falls joy stick wil get damaged soon. there all are the draw backs. 252 k display is good, if we install opera mini, browsing will be very easier. now i am posting this from my mob. 1.3 mp camera is good. sound is also good. will get data cable free with phone. gprs is also quiet fast. weight is also less. style is also ok. nothing more. if you have doubts or softwares please give to me also [email protected] ANY BODY KNOWS HOW TO DELETE PROTECTED SPIDER MAN VIDEO FILE FROM THIS MOB?AWAITING REPLY SOON.

I just bought this set yesterday, and I am utterly utterly dissapointed with the camera quality. Espeial when shot indoors, the images are norhti9ng less than horrible, maked them appear to be shot with a low quality barbie camera. Please help...can this be a software issue...is it solvable...or is this model actually like this.

Hello guys. Want to know the latest software version of k510. Mine is CXC1250232 R4EA031 Sony Ericsson.

Dalibor

Excellent phone, i paid it 110 euros. There are better phones, but i am satisfied. It has only 28mb of memoru but everything else is ok .

edfeg

Had this phone for 9months it was doing great, love its features, till its screen went white all of a sudden, it won't start up. I took it to a be repaired for its still under warranty. Anyone has the same problem? Don't know what caused it, is it software? or a virus of some sort? I haven't dropped it once.

jt

The length of the video depends on the available memory. Be sure that the shoot mode is High Quality Video not For Picture Msg.The video length in both modes depends on the video size. Around 30 seconds for large 178x144 PICTURE MSG video, a minute for small 128x96 video. For high quality video, you can record until you run out of memory.

jt

Hope you guys can help. My k510 camera's great. The only problem is(besides having no memory card), it can't handle white color well, it becomes greenish. The pictures are great on good, adequate light, but too much light, anything white becomes glowing green. Can firmware upgrade/update fix this?

vinay

Absence of memory card is a draw back ,but we can manage by offloading the data from phone to the computer when it is full. I personally feel that if i am right, preloaded video like spiderman3 in k510i special edition cannot be deleted and it consume more than 3mb of your 28 mb memory,Any method to delete this protected type video file?I want to use max available memory to hear songs.Now only 21 mb free after softwares and games Sony should avoid adds in such editions of k510i. Any method to delete this protected type video file?suggestions to [email protected]

K510i is a cool phone with all good features like bluetooth, gprs, internet, mms etc. and 1.3 mp camera is simply great, excellant shots and good video recording, 4x digital zoom is excellant. the price is very very less, with all these features. Absence of memory card is a draw back but we can manage by offloading the data from phone to the computer when it is full.

Here are some wap sites that I use (all are free) ads.waptrick.com for games, vipp3r22.wen.ru for games applications and streaming, wap.getjar.com for apps. vipp3r22 is in romanian but that shouldn't be a problem. Jocuri means Games and the games are all in english. In streaming section is radio and tv, both romanian, but there is music channel and cartoon network that may interest you. I will post more free sites as soon as I find others.

Allen

I had the phone from oct 2006 but I sold it about one month ago for 80 E in romania. Now I have K750 which I bought with 90 E. I really liked K510 but I needed more memory. The camera is very good only in daylight, has bluetooth, infrared, good mp3 player and sound quality. The net browser on K510 is better than K750s. Overall it's a great phone, shame it has limited memory. In 10 months I didn't had any problems with it. Good phone.K750 rulz :)

Allen

to IMRAN To get his original games back you have to download them from the SonyEricsson wap link found in Games directory. I found a trick on that site to download more games and applications than those destined for K510. You have to select your country and phone model. After you take the games for K510, change the model to any other that has same screen resolution. For example for K500 are 10 games. Try this if u want his preinstalled games

Currently have phone. Overall good phone Pros: price, light, small, crisp resolution, sound okay, usb to pc, bluetooth Cons: talk for about 4 hrs straight and have to daily charge, talk 1-2 hours charge every other day, no expandable memory, camera 1.3 mp, joystick (can get dirty easily and may break) For what the phone is worth it's a pretty decent phone just for normal use and no fancy gadgets.

Okay, I have this phone for about 3 months now and it's been very very reliable (fast interface, fast camera, etc.) There's one thing however that bothers me so much about this phone: The camera takes perfect pictures when everything is well lit; but when it gets dark the camera is almost useless. I turned 'night mode' on but nothing seems to change. It seems that the 'night mode' of my phone is not functional. Is this just my case or do any of you here experience the same problem? Thanks.

Comments on some queries raised. Joystick I have used my K510i for around 4 months and by now joystick has started to give problems. Radio This phone has no radio. So only alternative is to buy a radio headset(ie headset with FM radio). Music Player Music player will automatically be stopped when you get a call and resume when you finish the call. Data cable If you are using Windows make sure you have at least Windows XP with service pack 2.Otherwise it might not be recognized. Camera Shutter sound Shutter sound can be switched off in silent mode. Make sure you have the latest firmware version. Web browser The inbuilt browser is infact a third party software called "Access Netfront". However the performance of the browser is not satisfactory at all. It does not load most of the websites properly. I think this is due to the fact that this phone has only 1MB Ram(and 2MB Java heap memory) I recommend that anyone who wants to use internet regularly download Operamini which is far better than the inbuilt browser. However I recommend the Operamini hacked version which supports file downloads, page saving,keeping GPRS alive and many more functions. It is available at: Office & PDF files The phone does not support Office file formats(ie.xls,doc,ppt). Also there are no Java applications available at present to view such files. (However you can try 'fone folio" which is a java application for viewing office files but what happens is that you will have to upload the files to a server and those files then will be converted into html and can be then viewed). In the case of PDF files too there are no Java applications to read PDF files except for some Siemens phones. One alternative is to convert the office files into html or txt files so that you can view with the web browser. Another simple alternative is to email the file to a Gmail account and in gmail there is an option called "view as html". Saving conversations Saved conversations will be in the Sound folder. Just copy and paste it to PC. Size of the pictures taken If the scene is detaied then file size of the picture (1.3mp and in fine quality)may go over 400kb.One of the pictures I took was 413kb. Others MP3 file can be set as ring tones.Photos taken at night will show a great amount of noise and is not suitable for that. Video recording is limited by the available memory. MP3 sound is good & loud but its a pity to compare it with an ipod which is far superior to K510 mp3 quality. Contact me at: www.geocities.com/chamilavishan/contactme.html

thankyou for saying good comments about this phone because i am going to buy it very soon xD

PS

I can compare this phone with Nokia 6070 and Moto L6.More memory then these both.Good basic phone.Works fine. ++ Good voice and sound. Good Camera quality. Good screen. Low Price. -- * Memory restriction(28mb) and FM n/a. * No option for phone and sim both contects, means you can select anyone only. Overall ok and worth buying in this price range other then Nokia or Moto.

you don't have 28 mb of free memory on k510i! this is the entire memory ..the free memory is about 20 mb. however is a good phone , nice pics , good sound quality...fair price

dregorosa

Great music phone! I don't know Sony keeps in promoting cellphones as walkman, when in fact its best advantage was the speaker phone! Since i hate walkman, a liked the speaker very much in the K510.The sound is crisp clear, specially since the tracks I uploaded were all orginal. i commend Sony for giving me this K510. With this phone, I enjoy the good music everyday!

Necris

the 28MB memory is "shared" that means that all aplications in the phone use this memory - the addres book, the "image" folder, the sms folder and so on so you cant have 28MB free memory unless u clear the whole software of the phone, which is impossible

Riz

mm There is no reminder every 5min for the sms. Yes, there is a speaker built in.

mm

Does enybody knows if this phone has handsfree built in(should have?) and more important if this phone has function of sound reminder every 5min or similar when new SMS comes or have missed call. I m thinking to buy this phone so need to know these important functions...or its too much to ask/expect for this money.

sdk

this is actually not a coment.. but im deciding between lg's kg200 and k510 of se.. i want to know if there is a security lock.. its avalable in all nokia phones.. a security lock is- when you use keypad lock,to unlock a password needs to be typed.. the thing is a lot of people in my class go thro others phones and i dislike tht happenin,as they use my bluetooth and transfer files.. so to keep my phone under my control i want to know if this 'security lock' facility is available.. please reply immediately.. thank you so much! i wld be very glad if you could help me..

I have K510i and I can't select English language for "Writing Language", becuase there is only these languages for choose: French, Chinese, Arabic, Stand abc and 123. So I have to select "Standard abc" and then I have two problems: 1. I can't use T9. 2. I should skip many unwanted symbols when writing a text message.(symbols like Sigma, Beta, Pi when pressing 7 button.) P.s: Please see this picture that I have selected from the GSMArena k510 review section: You can see this guy is writing in English and using T9 too. Why I can't do this?

Yes! the Sony Ericsson K510i one of the best cell phone i've owned. With it's sharp dynamic 1.3 megapixel camera it's quality is amazing with a decent large display. fast messaging (SMS) processing system and a very good mp3 player besides it's limited memory (non upgradeable) lack of a flash light to support it's pictures taken at night and a radio system, this is one of the most reasonably priced value for money cell phone ever i am a proud owner of one and plan on using it for a very long time to come.

I bought the K510i last month. very nice phone but i'm a bit confused with it cuz mine model is K510i (as shown in Service Info) but freq band its frequency band is 850-1800-1900MHz. this is causing a real problem as my operator uses 900-1800MHz -> signal level always low or no signal at all :( secondly, the screen is too dark even with brightness set to 100%. third, cannot browse another device's folders with blutooth (can be done on T610 and K700) does anyone know whether the signal level would be boosted if i do a firmware upgrade from R4CH003 to a newest??

Allen

To vprasad To convert the mp3 songs in mp4 open Nero Burning ROM 7 (I use 7 but I don't remember if Nero 6 lets u convert in mp4, if u have 6 you'll see), click Cancel to the New Compilation window, then click Extras ->Encode Files or F8 on the keyboard. In the Encode Files window click Add and and choose the mp3s that u want to convert. Select all the mp3s that you've added and click Settings and in the next window choose the Preset quality to the first one in the list, CRB/Stereo 32 kbps. click OK and return to the songs list. There see if the Output file format is mp4, if not select it. Click Browse and select where u want to save the new files(The default is Program Files). Select all the songs again and click GO. These are all the steps to convert the music in mp4 with Nero. The mp4 songs are much more clear than the mp3 files at low bitrate. Use the headphones to compare the same song (mp3 and mp4 format) and see the difference.

Tq allen, but can u tell me wat is da steps to convert da mp3 songs to mp4 song thru Nero??

Allen

The best tip that I can give you about music is to convert it into mp4 at 32 kbps using Nero. The quality is way better than mp3 done with music2phone. You'll se the difference beetwen mp3 and mp4 in the headphones. I have 20 mp4s, 6 mb of games, themes and apps and 2.5 mb free.

Anonymous

Yes, download it to your pc first then use the disc2phone explorer (at left side) to select your mp3 files to transfer to your phone, it makes good qlty sound i was able to put 21 mp3 files in my k510 with 4mb left for my pix and games, themes. thats the best we can do for its small memory.

the one problem wuth this phone is you should increase the memory card of this phone

A cd comes with your phone, install the disc2phone software and connect your phone to the datacable and to your pc. select your mp3 files and choose 32kbps compression and click transfer.

to mehran. If you mean movies, yes you can receive and play movies in 3GP format via bluetooth or data-cable even MMS and GPRS, not mp4, i tried putting mp4 format videos but the movie did not show only the sound...which means it supports m4a or mp4 audio only.

For mr. no name before I think that the pic size depends of the light in the place where you take the pic. I only take pics on daylight mostly on sunny days because in dark or weaklight they look bad. About the music, convert your mp3s into mp4, not mp3 at 32 bitrate with Nero 7 as I said before because mp3 at low bitrate are bad as you said. And use the headphones and you'll see the difference between an mp3 and an mp4. The browser is good only for wap pages and it loades the whole page because they are smaller than HTML pages. As I said before, enjoy it and have fun.

Anonymous

to allen you say that pic taken with ur phone at full resolution the pic size is max 280kb but im set my mobile camera pic cuality in fine mode it takes pic 310 to 400 kb each pic and i convert mp3 songs 128 kbps to 32kbps but sund is not gud in phone and u say sound is good batery stand by time is nearly 53 to 55 hours gprs is great using in mobile own browser its speed is great to download sites

Allen

To Vishan, a few comments on what he said. I have my phone for almost 4 months and the joystick isn't working well any more. About the battery, mine lasts over 3 days in standby mode, if I keep the phone on the table without using it. In talking mode it lasts about 3-3,5 hours. About the camera, I agree that it is the best 1.3 mp camera for the phone's price (under 100 USD in Romania, 80$ on contract with Orange). About the shutter sound you are wrong, it is impossible to turn it off, even in silent mode. The pictures taken with the camera at high quality and max resolution have about 280 KB and not 400 how you say. About the browser, I don't use it for the same reason that it does not load and display the entire webpage. I also use Opera Mini, in fact i'm writing this post on it right now. The thing about java permission is very annoying because every time I use opera or other java applications I must give the permission to connect to Internet or to make a photo with the camera. I find very useful the thing that the phone disconnects from the Internet/GPRS after 30 secs because otheswise the battery would discharge very fast (the same way it does when you are talking) in 3-3.5 hours. So if it disconnects it is just as I am using a java game, altough I use opera and not as I use the internet same as the talking mode. I have unlimited wap acces by GPRS or EDGE on Orange Romania for 3.5 EURO (4 USD) per month, not per kb or how you said you have and I don't care if it reconnects to the net everytime I change the page in opera. A tip for music. Use Nero 7 Burning Rom's encode file feature and make your music in mp4 format at 32 kbps. The quality is the same as a normal mp3, you'll be amazed. I have 20 mp4s on the phone, 6 MB of games and applications and I still have 2.5 MB free. Another problem is with the screen resolution because I found a lot of free java games but they were for 176x220 screens. Good luck with the phone and enjoy it, it's great!

the battery life is too short(about 10 Hours in standby!) i replace the battery with new one but the problem did not solved.

Vishan

I purchased my K510i two months back having read almost all the reviews available on the web and hundreds of user reviews available on the internet. So here is what I feel about some of the features of this phone Battery life – The standby & talk time given in the specifications do not seem to be true at all. My phone battery will have a maximum standby time of 48 hrs even if you fully charge the battery and leave it on the table without using it. A 900mAh battery should have been provided. (Unfortunately you can’t use K750i battery in k510i) but you may not feel this to be a big problem if you are at office because this phone can be charged through the USB cable. Camera – the 1.3mp camera is of excellent quality especially given the price of the phone (this phone can be purchased here in Sri Lanka for around 140US$). Even the micro mode pictures including texts and close objects will be of very good quality. A photo in fine quality mode may go even above 400kb. I would say this is (need not say “one of the”) the best 1.3mp camera phone on the market. You will not hear a shutter sound in the silent mode. However you need to make sure that enough lighting is available in the scene before you take the picture. Web Browser – One of the major reasons which made me buy this phone is that this phone has a full HTML browser (which claims to be Access Net Front) for web browsing. (This is the cheapest phone next to K310 with a full HTML browser!) Unfortunately this browser has not been able to perform upto my expectations. This browser does not seem to be able to handle files which are over 100kb in size. You will often get the message ‘Large page - contents incompletely displayed”. And also most of the time the browser does not display the page properly. I think the problem is in the RAM of the phone. This phone has, as I know, only 1MB of RAM. The browser has a “smart fit” option which will show the page vertically (like in opera mini) but still you may get the same aforesaid message. Another problem is there is no way to minimize the browser. I recommend Opera Mini (full version) over this inbuilt browser. Opera Mini is far better than the inbuilt browser. MP3 – Quality of the MP3 songs played by this is very good. Media player is also ok. But remember you have only 28MB. You may compress MP3 files to reduce the file size and the sound quality is still not that bad! Java – the performance of the Java applications is great. But you can run only one application at a time. Also the phone does not allow java applications to explore the folders live – saved web pages, themes, games & applications. Also another annoying feature is that in the permission settings of the java applications there is no option like”never ask” to access the file system or connect to internet. As a result the phone will always ask you whether a java program should be allowed to access the file system or connect to internet at each time that the program (eg. MobyExplorer, OperaMini full) is trying to do so. And also Java programs are unable to keep grprs connections alive and after around 30 seconds of inactivity the connection will be lost. I am not sure whether this problem is common to other phones also. This is really disadvantageous if you are paying on a per-kb rate with a start-up fee for gprs. Another useful function that I miss (and which my outgoing Motorola C350 had) is that the ability to lock the selected functions of the phone using a password. For instance I could lock only the messages so that only to open the messages, a password was required. But there is no such function except the whole-phone lock in this phone.

For Cowboylee 1 The pictures that you take at night are very unclear, in fact they look bad, even in night mode. 2 You can use any audio file format as ringtone, message and alarm tone (mp3, mp4, mid, amr etc.) 3 Yes, you can video record until you finish the memory. With all the memory free you can record about 25 mins.

I have this phone for 4 months. I like it very much, I have a lot of games and applications on it and it's working fine, except the joystick wich doesn't work well in down direction. Someone knows a SE phone that doesn't have problems with the stick? Or should I ask if such a phone exists. I'm planing to buy a K750 or W800 because I want more memory for music, but I am afraid of the joystick because they are older models than the K510

Just bought this K510i yesterday for 190 Tomans from Tehran (Citadel) on February 1, 2007. The mobile sounds stylish, with a very HIGH-QUALITY Camera (specially on day light). The only disadvantage is the keypad lighting color, which is about brown-yellow; Very Ugly. Sometimes you prefer the shape of the phone when it is OFF! The speacker volume is loud enough. It plays nicely, but not as well as K750i.

hey, i want to but this phone but I a lil bit confuse. i want a phone that have good camera and MP3(the quality of the sound). is this phone can produce such a clear sound just like an ipod or something?

edfeg

to toby: camera is very good for its class great pictures wih good lighting, viedo is ok too. mp3 sound is great just like a walkman, just use original earphones from sony ericsson, k750 and w800 headset is compatible with k510i. i use k750 headset, bluetooth headset works with this phone too but expensive. use disc2phone software that comes with cd to transfer mp3 songs to this phone. limit it to 32kbps so you can have at least 20 songs in it.

xxsilvershadowxx

to Toby: The mp3 sound is really good, in fact it could compete with the sound on my laptop, which is good quality. The picture quality is very good and the video quality is quite all right, but not perfect (it's just a fone, right? We use a camcorder if we want perfect videos) That's about it!

another thing I didn't like and probably all those people willn't like who like to give missed calls to their friends. when u call a person for missed call then to cut the call u have to press the right soft key, mostly it works fine but sometimes instead of cutting ur call it activates the speakerphone!!!! And in the mean time the person at other end may receive ur call if he/she is alert! lol seems funny, but a fact though. Overall, I am satisfied with this phone. Nokia can't give these many features at such a low price(I purchased for 6250 rupees). By the way, if u need any technical help about it u may mail me.

Prab

I was earlier using K300i, but lost that lovely phone and then purchased this K510. This is a nice phone with better specs and camera and display. But the build quality isn't good, cuz the "1" key isn't working fine, I have to press it hard(since I am a regular WAP user and keep chatting so this is a problem for me). The call voice clarity isn't as much as K300, and sometimes the phone slows down and almost hangs at startups sometimes. Also, when u r in browser and typing a message there on a WAP site and u get a call, the browser willn't work after the call ends. You have to exit and restart the browser. By the way, To transfer java games from PC, just copy the jar files to the Other folder of phone memory using the sony ericsson file manager. Now simply open the "other" folder in ur phone and click the game's name to install it.

this phone is awesome! its a great size not too big and not too small! but im shattered because i chose the LG M6100 over this phone! IM SO STUPID! lol anyway its a good phone!

K510 is a upper middle class phone. No mem card? Don't worry. I have 19 apps, 13 games, 29 sound files (MP3,MIDI,AMR), and many pictures and I have 7.5 MB free! Could you belive? The camera quality is great, the music player is good, and no radio is no problem. There are pocket radios with lower prices and easier use. No flash? SE has a portable flash. I think it's one of the best phones ever released.

K510 is a nice phone very handy & compact. But the silver colour on the back side is coming out, thus spoiling the look. Otherwise its great!

Ramtin

K510i is a great mobile phone... you can never find any phone like it.

Allen

For rasta: the content of the package includes the phone, battery, charger, stereo headset, USB data cable, PC Suite CD and the user's manual as standard. That's pritty good if you look at the price (under 150$ in Romania at free). You won't find the PC suport and stereo earphones at a mid class Nokia, so SE K510 wins the at the accesory category. In addition a Nokia with the same specifications is much more expensive. So I think that K510 offers much more than any of it's class rivals. Hope I helped you.

rasta

i'm just curious but what comes in the package of this phone?

edfeg

I've noticed that too Allen, but it does support MPg4 audio, but mp4 video does not play.it only really support 3gp fully.

Allen

The phone is great! All's fine but I've noticed something. On every site that I searched about it (including this one) I saw that the phone supports MPEG4 format but it doesn't. I've tried it, you can try to and you'll see that the phone does not support MPEG4 files.

Allen

I have this phone for three months and I can say that it's a great phone. It realy worth the price so if you are planing to buy it, don't hesitate! The interface is user friendly and the software has no problem. The camera of 1.3 megapyxels is good, the mp3s are clear and the memory of 28MB is enaugh if you convert the music. If you use the Internet I advice you to download OperaMini from here .It realy helps because the phone's browser doesn't load the entire page. It's a great phone but like all SE models after 3 months of use has a problem with the joystick. But at this price (under 100 usd) you won't find nothing better.

GREAT PHONE!!! This is really awesome phone, great for its price. Cheap price doesn't mean this phone is bad in midle class. Look its camera result, the camera has a big resolution..1,3 MP. Even if this phone compare with x700 samsung or k600 ericsson, the camera result was satisfied than that 2 phone. No flash? it doesn't metter. SE has a flash (optional). how about the music quality? my k510 have 45 songs, and it's still have 5mb free memory!! can u believe it? when the songs played via loudspeaker, it is bad...too much noise. Then i bought a W810 earphone. Expansive of course if u buy an original earphone. BUT!! when i hear my mp3 using w810 earphone.....WOOHOOO!! the output sounds was very great, better than iPOD sounds. Especially for the BASS, i'm really2 satisfied. 28 MB without external mem? no problem, i can transfer the photos to computer so my memory is just only for music. I have hear e398, rokr e1, 6233 nokia, k700, k750, w300 and z530 sounds quality using earphone, mmm and they are not so good if compare with k510. but k510 is defeated by all walkman phone (xcept w300) . Thanks to SONY ERICSSON!

roee

I'm using this phone for a month now and overall it's a decent deal. Pros: SE interface is great, the phone operates quickly in all tasks. Also, the camera takes excellent shots in day-light conditions.I think that 28MB of memory is more than enough. I prefer a real MP3 player for my music. Packs alot of great extras such as Push Mail. Great reception and an excellent call quality. Cons: -Keypad build quality -Joystick controller build quality -battery life (2-3 days max, few calls n' sms only) -clock screensaver is unnoticeable (screen type issue?)

i plan to buy this phone but i have a few questions., if you can answer me it would be great...it would mean a lot for me. 1: How is the joystick because i had joystick's phones before ( not se) and all failed to work after about 1 year. 2:How is the mp3 sound?? that is all guys . hope somebody will hellp me. al good for you.

This phone is really great..... i like so much the features....

D I: download free themes here . then use your USB cable to connect to your fone. copy the themes to your theme folder. thats it. enjoy!

Shirazi OrakZai

Hay i Like K510i B-Coz it is a good fone, i like its option of BlueTooth, its camera is also good, i m enjoying this Mobile Fone.

edferg

For anyone asking how to lower the mp3 file size. the k510i comes with a cd install the program disc2phone. then lower the kbs up to 32kbps or your choice. I have 24 songs in my memory, adjust the equalizer to your liking. even at low compression it still sounds great. oh yeah use originial sony ericsson earphones it'll sound really great just like a walkman. and i still 5mb free for my camera use. i hope they sell a memory reader accessory for this just like the fm radio transmitter or flash. great phone..really enjoyed it for its price.

Anuradh from Sri Lan

this phone gives more teche features for the price, which you have to spend more to get from a nokia. mobile phone technology is affordable for any one with sony ericsson.

I am thinking about buying this phone but it only has 28mb, how do lower the quality of the song to fit more on the phone??

this is great phone as i use it 4 month.low cost many features i like very much camera resolution in good light...

Imran Kaleem

Well K510i is my first Sony ericsson mobile. Its really great and user freindly. Only this which I fear is the realiability of the joystick. I have been using it for almost four months and sometimes the joystick misses my move. Otherwise the phone is exceptionally well.

real problem or not? at large video size when i turn on 4xzoom picture starts shaking and when i press record it records sounds but no video i get dark screen! sometimes also when in video mode i get yellow background and special efects are not turned on!So i wonder if 4xzoom is possible in large video taking or not?someone please answer if there is a solution or should i get it back to the distributor?

edferg

Only thing i dont like in this phone is the lack of expandable memory and fm radio but its still a great phone.

edferg

I just bought this phone, and its totally cool!! the connectivity is great via usb and bluetooth. video recording is great too. 1.3 megapixel camera is great for its class at an affordable price. I was thnking of either this one or the asus j206 but, this one is ok. although Asus J206 has better features. i was in doubt of its reliabilty so..i recommend this phone. I havnt experience any problems yet so..this is great so far.

hi every1..im thinking of buying the k510 but im not sure about the memory..how do i change the songs to less quality so that the phone fits more?? plz help..thnx

lllll

The choise is obvious.i have a friend that has x630 and another that has k510i.go for k510i.at x630 the mp3 sound is very very low, i cant say that sony-e has a great sound but compared with x630 is definately better. for camera , again k510 is the winner ,and it also has irda and bluetooth while samsung has only bluetooth.

Regan

I think that the Sony Ericcson k510 a is a very good phone,especially for the price.The phone is highly customizable and packed with most of the features an individual would desire.The camera quality is good with the 1.3 megapixels and the video recording reaches a maximum of around 20 minutes!The phone has a large,vibrant colour screen that makes everything look good.A disadvantage though is the inability of the phone to hold a memory card,but if it did i guess the phone's price would become exorbitant.The shared memory of 28mb is generous and enables me to a reasonable amount of items.The sound quality of the phone is good and the volume level is very good.In terms of the design,i think that it is reasonably stylish,especially the black which projects the look of sophistication.It was suprising to see how much was packed into such a small phone.The k510a is surely a great phone!

There's 28MB shared space for everything. So you might get about 7 songs if every would be about 4 MB. Actually I convert my songs into lower, 48 (46 maybe) bitrate files, and they are now about 1.5MB each, so I can put even more songs than 7. Of course, sound quality is much lower. I choose to have more songs. I get bored by listening to 5 the same songs....

My opinion is that if u want a basic megapixel camera phone,you can buy it cause it's rather good for the price.has some ok features.But if u want a phone packed with features and can be customized in terms of ringtones and memory space,I would choose the nokia 6230 or betta yet the nokia 6230i.

is this phone good or not tell me

Owned nokia 6230 (with 512mb card)and decided to try this for a replacement.have to say,camera is ok but features lack those of 6230.not really impressed.can apply themes but somehow,mp3 msg song keeps cutting off after a few secs,can anyone help?seriously considering keeping 6230 and selling k510a.

I was a hardcore Nokia user & K510i is my first ever SE.Its a fantastic decision cuz K510i is a perfect piece of production.It basically has everything that an average user needs.The features are very much user frinedly & smooth.The color combination is perfect with compaq sleek design.Its a tech savvy feature packed mobile.The only disadvantage in my view is the battery life & there is no lens protector on the camera(Anyway I dont mind charging the mobile every other day).The rest is fantastic & I am really satisfied about my purchase.

Initially I can't find the way to make recurrent appointment, such as to remind about paying monthly bills, using K510 calendar. But I learn, it can be done using synchronization. Set the recurrent appointment thru free sync server (o-sync) or ms outlook, then do synchronize. Now, K510 is perfect! not to mention its java midp 2.0 & bluetooth support.

@Mike Mike, I think you get bad product. Anyone has the same problem? I advice you to ask them to change with the new one.

Hi there! I got a k510i last week,I think it's a good cellphon;because you have a complete phon(with having 1.3MPix camera,Bluetooth and etc) and pay less money!

Putra Dewantara

I bought K510 1 month ago,i have resume that K510 is good value mobilephone. The price in Indonesia is US$ 120, good enough speaker (but not the best), best 1.3 mpix camera (u have to sure that the object of the photo you'll take have enough light,the quality of the photo can beat any other 1.3 or 2 mpix mobilephone),enough memory 28 Mb ( you have to transfer data to computer if memory near to full),good bluetooth (u can transfer data to computer via bluetooth and you can use K510 as remote control for you PC), good picture/photo and video viewer (can view in full screen and rotate), the shutter sound can be muted only in silent mode, the last K510 is best value mobilephone

Mike

I have had the SE K510i and I think it's the last SE mobile that I buyied, I'll never try a SE again. Stand-by 30-38 hours at only 20-30 min talktime, an a signal that dissappears every 20-30 min, no matter the location, consuming the battery. If I ordered it a new search, the display were happy to show me full signal, and after 30 min lost the signal again in the same location. The phone was 2 times in the service, for 4-5 weeks, came back with same problem (I wonder if they tested the phone at the service?). Good-bye, SE!

Well i bought this phone a month ago and i found that it supports W550 themes. It got decent sound and supports many nokia java 60 games. we all must agree that the features avaliable in this phone is nearlly worth it. Seeing its features, one needs extendable memory. I guess everybody keeps their fingers crossed about joystick, which is a common problem in sony phones.

to are-peace as your opinion i am download update service phones software from sony er web site i up date my phone but its memory still 28 mb can u tell me software whoes up grade mobile memory

Jaja

Bought the phone 3 days ago. Here is where it sucks: 1. When alarm is set, it covers the clock so you can't see it, this is extremely inconvenient. 2. While Caller Number ID is supported, Name ID is not (as of yet at least). FIDO web-site says a firmware update should be released soon, whereas SE support rep has no clue about it. 3. Joystick is much harder to operate than on my old T610. Overal, the phone plastic and buttons feel cheap. I got a feeling it goes back to the store next week.

are-peace

you can download the software at Sony Ericsson websites.

junaid

to are-peace how can we up grade its memory plz tell me as soon as possible

i think k510i is very nice mobile. it has very nice camera. but there is one prolem its memory capacity is very small only 28MB. and other problem is that when its memory is full then its halt and its speed is also slow.

rexpopuli

I bought it a week ago. Maybe is too soon to give an opinion, but i think is awsome. Is my first SE, I had before lots of Nokias, last phone was an LG U8330... K510i has a very good price, and more than enough capabilities for this price...Great camera, one of the best I have seen. It'a a shame that doesen't have a memory card. This is the only bad thing I have to say about it.

yesterday, i've set my mind 2 buy this phone..but after I read some of you guys's opinions, now i'm confuse..basically, is this a good phone or a bad phone, guys???? explain the weakness,please??? i want my money worth a really good product.. Thanx y'all..

AhmeT

I have this phone too.. And asyou say there are few "bugs" but all of it can be solvde... For example YOU CAN create repeating calendar events by using the softvare on PC... I use MyPhoneExplorer... It's the best thing... You can write and read SMS messages on PC and lots of other stuff... Also it can SEND, RECEIVE, SAVE nay file type... from .jpg, .wav to .doc and anything... I have over 2k games for it but most dont work very well because of small resolution... So that would be it...

I am getting effing frustraded with SE. This could be a perfect phone, it's small , light, good graphics, but why the hell do they go back to triple band gsm when they already have quadband? And also how come they stil don't allow you to put in repeating calendar events. every dinky 50 dollar phone has that functionality. Also why do you have to wait for the first dial tone before you can activate the speaker? you should be able to get on the speakerphone anytime? These are such small things but it looks like everyphone that comes out has some features and misses others. This is really frustrating me, i hope SE will wisen up soon and listen to their customer base.

@imran Strange,because the GSMarena review said that it has one from the best camera for 1.3 Mpx. Or maybe your friend got bad product? Hmm,have your friend printed the picture or looked at PC? For the picture that cannot be saved,have you tried that Mike have said bottom? For other problem,hope, our friends here can help you.

Does the K510 have the function of asking for a password before it UNLOCKs the keypad? This is to prevent people from snooping at my phone if i left it unattended. Thanks. :-)

imran

There is a remote function in this phone , if your computer is attached with a bluetooth you can use your phone's joy stick as mouse and also the keyboard remotly!*/ It has 3function when in remote operation 1 presenter( used for MS power point ) , 2 media player , & desk top. click uman interface in the buetooth software in your comp your phone could be used as a remote mouse & keyboard for u r computer.

Answer to problem of transfering pictures for Shalima: Sorry, I saw your question on gsmarena forum. I just buyed a SE K510 and I had the same problem. When the phone is connected with the computer, you can see the pictures, but in the phone only they seem to disappear. I'll show you how I get solved the problem. Rename your pictures when you copy them in the phone, in the Camera folder, as DSC 000 and some number (23, 67, doesn't matter, but not duplicate another file name what already exist in the folder). Those names of files are given by the phone for its own images taken with own camera and I think the device does not recognize another file name format. I proceeded that way and the images have appeared like by magic. But you can make this rename only when your phone is connected by USB cable (it's sold in phone box) and in transfer mode, not phone mode. Succes! P.S. I'll appreciate if you could send an e-mail to tell me if you succeed. Best wishes.

@sophz and minu K510 has fewer features than K750i, that's why it's price cheaper. Look at the specification: K 750i has 2 Mpx camera while K510 has 1,3 Mpx camera (both of them have camera goed camera quality in their class). K750i has radio FM and slot for memory external while K510 has not. So if 1,3Mpx is enough for you and you don't use/need radio feature or memory internal is enough for you; you can get K510. If you want more than choose K750i. Hope,this can help you :) and don't forget to share us after you buy and use it.

k510 is great, im satisfied with my phone

Suleman

I think it is the best phone in such a low price. I bought it for Rs. 7800 from Pakistan. When compared from Nokia 6230i it has almost the same features except the memory card. It can be used with PC as a USB Mass storage device having memory of 27.2 MB. However the phone�s total memory is 30 MB (including all preset stuff which deletable). It has 262K colour screen. While playing video clips it has the option of Horizontal view (i.e. u can view videos and pictures in full screen mode just like Computer screen). The phone is capable of playing 3GPP and MPEG4 video files. In audio the phone show a pretty good performance. It supports MIDI, AMR, MP3 ,M4A and WAV files (cannot play AAC files). The camera quality is also superb. It also has Remote control using BLUETOOTH. It has IrDA port as well. The media player can run in minimized mode and u can control the volume even if keypad is locked. The sound recorder can record during a call. The battery life is about 48 hours when u use GPRS for 30-40 min, Media player for 1.5-2.0 hrs, 10-15 min for calls, watching video clips for 20 min and using other functions for 30 minutes (during which backlight remains ON). Infact its a LOVELY n HANDY FONE

mziaulk

Kind Attention : n}kR. 01.K510i has got TFT display with 256K quality and 128X160 pixel. Yes it is a little pixelated (require appropriate theme to solve it). But it is far far far superior than Nokia 6070 display (STN/65K). The memory of K510i is 8 times more than 6070. 02.The camera of K510i is 1.3 Mega pixel (considered the best in the market now,even better than samsung X700, 6230i etc) but 6070 has got a VGA camera. 03.K510i has got Bluetooth but 6070 lacks it. 04.Ringtone and music quality is also better in K510i than in 6070. 05.Reagarding key pad nokia phone is better than SE, no doubt. But if u consider all above parameters........and i think u r not a nokia fan-boy and.......your wise........|

danielle

the soft keys are HHHHHAAAAAARRRRRDDDDDD.....!!!! the phone is great just that the over-all screen seems a little too pixelized... and the backlight of the keys are so ugly!!!

mulder

Hi! I have K510i and I also have a small problem with the sleep mode clock : it can't be seen (you hardly can see it) and this way is useless. Is anything wrong with my phone or is a software bug? Also ... the screensaver stops after ~10 seconds. I know that it must save the battery life ... but it should my option, isn't it?

AOA. I am using this phone about last 2 months. the soung quality of speakers is good and in ear phone sound quality is quality is excellent. keypad is comfortable for typing sms. nad display is very good. Overall its a nice phone.

To crackers If you got the usb cable with your phone than just connect your phone via that cable with pc and pc will find it like a removable drive and than just copy/paste. Or you have an option with SE software which you also should have,it comes with the phone.

crackers

its a great little fone. ive had no probs with it... can u put pictures from your computer on it? if so how???pleez help me :-|

wireless

To Mike About joystick...no one can tell you how long will joystick last becouse it is a new model. But in past models if you were unlucky problems started after 2 or 3 months, and if you WERE lucky than you never had problems or they started after about a year. The rumors are that SE had improved dust protection in their new models but that is yet to be seen after few months. So if you buy it keep your fingers crossed,that's what I'll do. ;)

martin

i have the k510 and i can say that the "joystick" is perfectly fine.. i honestly love this phone, but too bad it hasnt memoryslot, thats all.. the display is a bit sensitive for viewing from different angles.. but overall its a very good phone, im very satisfied..

Mike

one thing i doubt is the joystick, will it last for long time or will get problems?...i am planning to by this.....so please tell me anyone who has used this phone for sometime

wireless

Me again :) Just tried JBenchmark 1,2,3D,HD on my k510. Guess what!?! It beats k750 and w810 just like that...i couldn't believe it. So this phone is great for all new mobile games!!!

Hassan

Best fone in its price. To me, the disadvantages are its avg keypad & terrible functional keys.Also the vibrating alert is not strong enogh. we can easily mis messages and calls. Also no new event icons are shown in sleep mode,clock is not visible too.Still the best buy.

wireless

It's a nice phone for the money, that is for sure. I bought it yesterday on contract for only about 20 USD in croatia... The only thing i don't like is that the clock is hardly seen in standby mode (as a screensaver),but it is not a big thing. The lack of memory slot is justified by it's low price and if you have no intentions of using your mobile as a mp3 player than this is not a big disadvantage. Instaled memory is suficient for everything else. Great thing that you can put any melody as an sms ringtone and there is a lot of nice themes on internet so this is also a greate low budget phone for those who like personalize their phone's interface. Great phone and i could recommend it even to those with greater budget if they don't need lot's of memory.The camera is really good, but still for taking good pic's i recommend using or buying digital camera(allways a better choice than buying expensive phone just becouse of it's 3MP cam). Chears

Griever

man this mobile is the best purchase if you have a low budget.. alright no card slot no radio but all other things are perfect. 1.3 MP camera exceeds expectations. sound quality is brilliant. real fast menus. no slow-down no lagging. u have bluetooth, infrared, usb, internet, java midp2, mp3, mp4! AMAZING IN SUCH A LOW PRICE!!!

Haris

I have heard that there is some problem in its scroller.Is it true? Coz i am planning to get this set!

khurem

well i bought this cell a week ago... camera quality wasnt like what i expected from a 1.3 Mp camera , but still considering the overall package, the phone is a great buy ... it's price is only 7800 pak rupees, which is just unbelievable for the functions it has ... if only it wud hav a memory card then it wud've beeen really great but of course price wudnt b that low in that case.. meant for ppl who wanna use a nice functioning phone with all the features like USB, bluetooth,, nice camera and video recording, speakerphone, MP3

martin

the recording time is more than 10 min, 10-15 i would guess...

zyed

can any of SE k510 user tell me the video recording time...please !

Prageeth

it would be the best phone, if it's got FM radio.

PEter Sonnenberg

I bought this mobile 3 weeks ago from Orange Romania.It would be best in class phone for sure.The package contain stereo headset with buttoin and usb data cable.28 mb memory.1.3 MP camera with astonishing quality for it's price.The phone can be connected as mobile hard disk to the pc the copy speed is usb 2.0 meantimes it is charged.The battery stays alive aprox. 90 hours with lot of playing with camera menu games and mp3.(without turning off at night).Reception is typically SE not to good not too bad..It's ok.Nice new features i'd say 8.5/10.

ovidiu

is there anybody that bought this phone from orange in Romania? how much free memory does it have? 28mb? or less? what do you get with te phone? do you get the HPM-70 earphones?

rudhi

it would the best bang of the bucks.. if only it had memory card slot.. darn... nothing perfect especially at low prices.. lol

Raza_pk

evrythng fair at rs.7800/usd125 but no fm its not fair in this price.

Dr Ahsan Suleman

Honestly speaking in terms of functionalty its the best phone avaiable for on 8100 Rs at Sky Phone company, and yes txt files can be viewed, battery doesnt really lives up to the promise, disply is good , i would rate this at this price over all very near to 6230i without memory card anyways good for people who need many but not all solutions in 1 device, no headset is included in package but usb cable isalong with Software mail me for any questions

Wilt

Hello - I need some help please. Can I save Microsoft Office files (eg. Word) on this phone?? I know that I will not be able to read such files, but I want to use the phone to transport files. Thanks, Wilt

i want to buy a phone next month i like k510 a lot, but no flash and radio it a problem ( ok with no memory, coz it cut budget ) with the same range price, which is better k510 or k608 ? k608 has radio and flash, and it 3G i think k510 is better at sound volume and camera k608 better with sound ringtone quality and screen resolution i like to ask about the pic quality (from the camera ) of both phone and overal perfomance

its a good phone. nice design and light weight. it has no fm radio which i thinks a bit stupid considering the se before it, had one.....i mean this is suppose to be the up graded version. anyway...it only has 28 mb memory but no memory card :( but as long as u put all your pics on to your pc then you should have enough to put some mp3s. it has good graphics and camera is 1.3 megapixels!! which gives outstanding picture quality and you also edit it using some extra functions on the phone. its cheap and even cheaper for all the features you get wiht it. i recomend this phone but if you are them people who like music phones (like me) go for a w800 or k700 or you can (as i said earlier) put your pics onto your pc then delete em and you should have some free memory for music.......gd phone for a good price dont miss out!

had this fone for 2 weeks and MUST SAY A TRULY BEAUTIFUL PIECE OF WORK FROM SE. fone design is very good. i give it 10/10. One of the best i;'ve used so far much better than alot of nokias, and other se models like K500, K700 though i've not used K7501.I like the "feel" of it too. Go for it-it's a great fone-u won't regret-in fact better than alot of higher end fones -ie compared against N70 which is crap

From singapore:Had this fone for almost 1 month. Honestly, one of the best fones available now. Desing is great. Size is good. easy to fish out of pocket. Colour:Brilliant. Have used many other fones-nokia6230i,6230, 8880, samsung d500, e600, e700 etc. Overall am very happy with this fone. sms also very fast and camera and video recording great. sound/tone is good. I'm keeping my fone. No radio no doubt but dun need it. agree with mzaiulk

Candyman

Is this phone fast? I dont like slow phones, had siemens before! I cant decide between motorola L7 or this one, please help!

For interested people who like to purchase this set : PROS: 01. Bright TFT Display (Better than K500i, Nokia 6230) 02. Great Camera (May be better than any 1 mega pixel available in the market) 03. Very fast menu navigation (fastest in the market). 04. Can transfer/shift/copy several files simultaneously from one folder to another. 05. Beautiful menu icon (better than K500i, K700i and any nokia phone). 06. Bluetooth and infrared works well. 07. Can record Tele-conversation. 08. Good battery (2/3 days active use). 09. Great ringtone sound (Better than any nokia phone). 10. Good sinc with pc (USB cable included in the package). 11. Can download free themes form various internet site (now getting available). CONS: 01. No memory card slot. 02. No Radio. 03. Grains visible in the display due to less pixel (128 X 160 only) 04. Display behaves poor under bright sun (K500i was better). 05. Keypad not comfortable enough.

MasterKaos

Only had this thing for about 24hrs so far, but i LOVE it. This is the ONLY phone on the market that meets my needs. For me size and weight are a big factor. All i wanted was something small and light, that has good connectivity (IR + blutooth) a better than VGA camera, decent browser and a low price tag. Even if the k750 had the same price as the 510 i would still take the 510. The extra features of the 750 that i would never use would not be worth the extra bulk!

no card slot? what a shame!!!

Guys! i just want to know that can we see a picture in full screen mode after capturing it with SE K510i n can we set the message alert tone from any of our mp3 tones. PLLZZZ tell me cuz i wanna go 4 this set as i am tight on money.

I just got this phone today and it is great! I bought it from ebay for about US$160. The joystick is a bit fiddly for my large hands but considering it has such amazing features, it was definitley worth it. The camera is also brilliant! On the actual mobile screen they look pretty average but on the computer theyre just as good as a digital camera! Get this phone if you don't want to spend a load of money!!!

aris

already bought it last week. feel happy with all the function. not FM maniac user or camera and memory so i think it's ok for normal user. one question. anyone know how to change reminder ringtone since default it's too slow. sometime i can't hear it. i managed to change alarm, call and message ringtone only. other's than that, it's a great phone. go for it. trust me...

Joseph Mostarda

I believe that the K510i is clearly marketed to people looking for an entry-level phone that offers more than a carrier-locked "throwaway" phone. It would certainly explain the lack of external memory and inferior backlighting. The K510i certainly isn't a bad phone, but if you have the money for a K750i or W810i, go for those instead.

ashhhh

maybe somebody knows maybe some models come with memory card slot

when the first time i saw k510 in kompas newspaper advertisement, im thinkin, this is a good choice foe me, before the introduced k510, ive plan to buy nokia 6020, but...now i chance my mind, ihope k510 not expensive, my prediction is around 1.800.000,- Rupiahs.

Sony Ericsson iz now leading mobile Phone company in the world so ma opinion for SE iz that plz..... increase the memory, increase the memory, increase the memory, increase the memory of there Cell Phonez...

elaiz_mir

Not a great contender.. Sadly.. Sadly.. Sadly.. It seems that K510 little sister, the z530i shows a much better specification. The difference k510 with his little sister z530 - k510 does not offer expandable memory - z530 though it is not 1.3megapixel, still the camera is considered as good as K510.. To me, it is a waste that sony.e produced this phone. With the simple lacking.. But this phone sure beats nokia 6111.. That is for sure..

Cool 'n' Casual

ZXcorr, the W800i can play AAC files. If yours can't, there is some error with the device.

Moien

I think SonyEricsson Shouldn't waste his money making phones like K-510.

ZXcorr

Is this thing can really play AAC files? Because my W800 can't.

What is so special in this phone for rating it as 8.1 !! no memory card slot,no FM,low resolution display !! This fone sucks !

smiley17

to all guyz afraid of joystick problems: this phone has an improved joystick protection against dust which gets inside the joystick and making if malfunctioned, SE has sealed the joysticks in k800,k510 and k510 phones this is worth a buy for it's features, yeah it's camera is same with s700. and it's pretty cheap for it's features but design is soooooo coooool.

Overall the phone is ok. Look like a K750i but with (well generally) some function of k500. as all you know its has a problem in its memory being 28mb (shared!) only.the only solution here is proper management.Forget the idea of using this phone as a music phone. And on the pictures, the solution here is to upload most/all of the pictures you've taken to your pc.

Phone is available now (mw48), its a decent little phone for �99, small, light, 1.3 megapixel and gud lil mini golf game

@unknown the difference between the n91 and the k510 is really big you know.in terms of features the n91 is a clear winner.

Better get k600/k608 than this phone. The price should be IDR 1.750.000,-. in Indonesia.

The nice and good looking cell phone,but memory is not good,shape and colour is fantastic. i repeat again n again memory is very short.

TheGman

Crazy crazy SE, great looking phone, great stats, but that's not enough memory to support the camera. Shame!

wongso

hey, JRW, could you tell us what battery does it have? is it the same 900mAh that's in the k750i? if not, how's the battery life?

JRW

I am currently testing the handset at the moment for Sony Ericsson. The handset istself is a very sturdy and good looking phone with a easy to use Joystick and Well spaced Buttons. The phone has features like a Media Player wich operates the same as any of the walkman series. The screen is Pixelated but the camera pictures are Decent Enough. My Biggest Greivence was the Lack of the (Pretty much standard) Volume keys on a SE Phone. It has all of the Functionality of a K750i but with a worse picture and no memory card but this is reflected in the price. All in all its A very Good phone For its Price.

Got any recommendations bout this hp? i wanna purchase it...

truely k500's succesor

Nice successor to the K500i. Should have had memory card capability to make it better

A strong sturdy phone that is not complicated but does what it does very well.

hope that this phone had the same 1.3 megapixel cam quality as S700, NOT W550 >.

ejmjs

i think this phone looks smart. the specs arnt so high but i think neither will the price be. if i'm right this could be a popular handset. seems to have been made to fit the low to mid price market and should do quite well there i.

i dont think the camera has a flash

Zed

Says it has a flash, Where!?

jo

if the camera is the same as the w550/w600. its not worthy. those are like the worse 1.3mpx ever.

MUHAMMAD HAMZA BUTT

k510 is a vert decent set but there is no card slot.but the camera result is unbeleivable.price=175$

Nice phone. Its for people who don't need a mem stick or FM. Wish it came in silver.

texas

very good update to the k500 all they need to add is FM and it would be gr8

hapefreaks

need an expensive, excellent quality & fantastic phone? buy a nokia product..but..if u just need a medium & functional one, buy this..its a reasonable price from SE

Medium

Great phone to upgrade my K300! Like the design too

unem

nothing special about the phone...looks d same as k508i which i am currently using. it's not a bad phone but don't buy it unless Sony Ericsson promises to replace u'r phone if the joystick goes out of function (a matter of a few months). the joystick is just crappy and must be made of cheap materials, i've had my k508i joystick serviced twice already and though they claim it to be a dust issue, believe me it's far more serious than that. go for another phone if you can spend a little bit more.

altu'

Memory I read on a web site is 28 MB !!

carlsson

If it will be $180-160, it will be good phone:)

Azm

good upgrading for k500 user, but with modern specification the screen resolution should be at least 176*220 , right?
