Sony Ericcson K510.

Very small design but 1.3 mega pixels. Very nice looking phone but lacks expandable memory.

[Andy]

i think its a nice little budget fone with all the features u want on it. u do have trouble with games i.e. screen sizes, but it got a gd 1.3 mega pixel camera and got a media player bulit in, and fast internet.

I have this fone but the only thing im disappointed wiv is the amount of memory; k510i has 26MB (ish) bulit in but no expandable memory which is a shame.

If u want a budget fone get this one theres a few disappointments wiv but u cant ave it all!! Also there is a red version one out now it is quite recent but all the layout (menu and file manager) is different which im not so keen on so if i waz u get the original colour one

hope this is usful

The Sony Ericsson K510i is capable to run SE K500i marked Java games , but I wouldn't expect any high quality gaming experience from it - it simply lacks the "power".

Firstly, This review is all in points!
Secondaly it is after USING it for "5" years!!

Ever since i lost my w595 and got my w580 dead...im using the k510i!

1. - even after 5yrs it gives me 3 days of battery backup minimum even when games are minimezed throughout the day!![that to C&C's and all]

2. - Camera is Passable,good one for a 5 yr old model!

3. - Audio Quality is quite good!
MP3 at 32 KBPS plays like a 64r'r!! plus highs dont get this one panting fro breath!!

4. - Gaming - As already mentioned...I play C&C,Townsmen,Art of War......with no lags at all!!
load time is a bit higher than others but hell man...game works without any glitch!!

5. - Internet - Fast as ever..never a problem with SE's!

6. - Build Quality - With heavy gaming for 5 yrs only joystick had to be repaired once!!,body is slitghlty tattered!

Only probem is the memory which is 28 MB's!!
so one has to compromise on that!!

It was a killer phone when released and still kills some phones even today!!!

Next month I am planning to purchase cell phone. after read this Sony Ericsson K5100 Review. I want to purchase budget model with maximum facility. It is great to know about in built player software and 1.3 mega pixel camera. This is enough for me. It has small screen but it is ok for me. Thanks for all feedback.

Hi Wayne,

When you say you Play C&C, I was wondering if that was Command & Conquer, or something else ?

I LOVE the Command & Conquer games series, and, IF you DO PLAY this, on your Phone ...,

I WANT ONE !



Cheers

absolutly right, if you compare SEK510 with Nokia 2600c, SE better
