Sony Ericsson K510i

...and even at low prices, Sony does not compromise on quality. Before we start, I'm not sure whether this makes any difference but my phone is from and on Virgin Media. ''' The design.''' _Sleek and functional_ This phone is an obvious candy bar and is a good size for slipping into your pocket. The 40mm x 93mm x 15mmm design makes it feel and sit nice in your hand, and the edges are curved so it's not such a block of cuboid like other Sony Ericssons ...
...As with most Sony Ericssons, the phone has a little joysitck in the middle to navigate the menus by either flicking it up, down left or right or pressing it down to select . Sometimes simple features on technology are the best and I find the joystick is once of those times. It takes away all the infuriating difficulty of finding which part of the arrow key to press on other phones. However I have heard the joystick does eventually break and this ...

Review of Sony Ericsson K510i

I have had a mobile phone since 1996 but only because I was living in places where I was unable to have a landline installed. I got a good contract in 1997 and am still on the same contract 10 years later because it is so cheap (an old One-2-One tariff that T-Mobile would love me to ditch)! But beyond the wondrous convenience of cheap mobile digital telephony I have never been terribly bothered about all the extra stuff that they keep packing into ...
...up in their phones and spend ages on their phones just talking about their phones. (As Marshal McCluhan said: the medium is the message... never more true.) And every year I get sent a new phone free of charge on my contract and every year I am less and less bothered. The K510i was still in its box 3 months after I received it because I just couldn't be bothered opening it. But I was very surprised when I finally did! The first thing I liked about ...

Review of Sony Ericsson K510i

...a lot neater than most Sony Ericsson models I have seen. The camera is very good when set to high quality (although you can't store many pictures). At 1.3 Mega Pixels it might sound quite low, but I have never had a problem with the quality of photos. Battery power is always reliable, I usually find that one charge for 2/3 hours is enough to keep you going for 2 or 3 days. The keys are of a good size, not too fiddly - perfect for bigger fingers. ...
...is much simpler than having four arrow keys to jump between. The only thing I can say would make a big improvement would be space for a memory card, because there is no slot and the phone only holds 28mb of music/photos/videos. The phone is VERY durable. I am one of the most clumsy people you could ever meet...this phone has been through A LOT and always comes out just fine. I've dropped it down the stairs, on pavements, spilt milk on it, and even ...

Review of Sony Ericsson K510i

...of the most basic of Sony Ericcsons "K" range phones, yet i prefer this one completely. OK so it doesn't have a fancy camera or fm radio, but if its just a sexy lil phone you're after, this is for you! With a built in 1.3mp camera, this is perfect if ya want to take loads of pictures of your mates without wanting them to look like they've been taken with a digital camera. Hey if ya want a digital camera, get one eh? But seriously, the camera isnt ...
...do them - perfect for Sony Ericsson novices such as myself. As far as the design is concerned, its small in size and comfortable to hold and text on. It looks stylish and snazzy and perhaps looks more expensive than it actually is. This phone will set you back between £89 and £199, depending ont he retailer and network. On virgin its usually either £89.99 or £99.99, depending on whether you get it online or in store. If you buy it online it will ...

Review of Sony Ericsson K510i

...take a look at the Sony Ericsson K510i, and I was immediately attracted to it. The asking price here was GBP90 and it really does offer excellent value for money. The K510i seems to have it all: good sound quality, user-friendly menus, a very clear screen, 1.3MP camera, MMS, Bluetooth, USB, Infrared. I could go on and on, but I will just touch on a few points. First and foremost, I'm a basic phone user. I use my mobile mainly for making and receiving ...
...DCU-60 phone to USB cable, Sony Ericsson PC Suite on a CD-ROM and a hands-free headset. The phone weighs only 82 grams, and feels good to hold. It has a solid feel to it, and the midnight black finish adds a touch of class. The joystick navigation control takes some getting used to, but I was up and running in a little while (even though I have big fingers). I do understand that some users might find this method to be a little more cumbersome than ...

Review of Sony Ericsson K510i

...of the K510i made by Sony Ericsson. What first attracted me to the K510i was it's nice styling and relatively low price for a phone of it's kind and it being made by Sony Ericcson, one of the best mobile phone makes with a string of highly regarded phones and add ons in the past two or three years. Like most mobiles nowadays this one has a built in camera which you can take pictures and you can store about 50-60 photos on your phone. It isnt as ...
...good job and you are able to get good quality photos from it. The great thing about these camera phones is that they now have software which lets you upload them to your pc. Using the built in camera you can also record videos, for instance if you were at the local football ground you could record the play or if you were with your friends you could record each other doing comedy sketches for instance. the quality isnt as good as the pictures you ...

Review of Sony Ericsson K510i

I recently bought the Sony Ericsson K510i after quite some thought and product comparison. I was looking for a fairly compact, non-clamshell phone with at least a 1 megapixel camera for around £80, and I decided that this best suited my needs, and it does what it is meant to do very well. What is this phone good at? I could go into a lot of unnecessary detail here, but here are the things what I see as the most important: • Decent Camera (1.3 ...
...moderation. (I would suggest the Sony Ericsson K750i if you are looking for a better camera or the Siemens BenQ E61 for a dedicated MP3 player, both of which are in a similar price bracket.) It does play MP3s but the built in 27mB of memory will only take 5 songs at the maximum. If you are looking for an above average camera resolution of 1.3 megapixels (compared with the standard VGA 0.3 megapixels), combined with bluetooth, a user friendly interface ...

Review of Sony Ericsson K510i

I think Sony Erricsson should have worked all the bugs out of this one before putting it on the market! Here is a break down of parts of the machine: Screen: Nice, sharp picture quality, when a photo is taken or a picture transferred well, it looks amazing, however, being a candybar phone having this phone in your pocket with keys is a nice way to say bye bye to the screen as it will scratch it something horrible! Could be a little bigger though... ...
...they appear a little larger. Sony Erricsson have always made their video captures tiny and I can never understand why!!! Quickshare: Nothing special, anyway I never used it I dont see the point, as long as you have an MMS enabled phone then there isnt much difference. Reception: You can recieve the best reception with a candybar style phone (over other styles such as clamshell and slide). This proves it. Recieving reception on the London Underground ...

Review of Sony Ericsson K510i

I got the Sony Ericsson K510i for my birthday after having quite a cheep and nasty alcatel phone. I've never been one to be obsessed with phones, and would never spend an awful lot on a phone that has lots of features I really don't want. All I want is Bluetooth, MP3 player, Java and a Camera, which are pretty common by today's standards. Although I've given this phone a fair bit of use, I'm sad to say that it's had a couple of problems throughout ...
...data cable and running the Sony Ericsson update wizard, however, after doing so my camera stopped working, saying that the incorrectly driver version was installed. After fiddling with the phone for a day or two I finally managed to get it working again. I can't even remember what I did, I think I tried re-setting the phone and I defiantly ran the update wizard again a fair few times. The second problem I have encountered is the reason I'm looking ...

Review of Sony Ericsson K510i

I've had this phone for about a year now, and whilst I haven't been completely impressed by it, it has certainly done the job so far. It is very durable - I think I have dropped it about 3 times and had to put it all back together again and it still works - and so easy to use. The menu of the phone is ver helpful as the icons for ech application are very simple and easy to understand e.g. a wrench and screwdriver to show settings. The camera on the ...
...whenever I take a picture or record a video as it is only 1.3 megapixels, however it has 4x zoom. The phone also has very small memory and storage space, it allows roughly just 150 text messages to be saved before it declares itself full and has storage for 28MB (allowing for about 5 songs, 2 videos and a few pictures which is not impressive at all). The memory can also not be increased or expanded due to the fact there is no slot for a memory card ...

Review of Sony Ericsson K510i

i have had this phone for a little over a month now and glad i upgraded to it. my old phone was just a basic one with no added extras yet it was one of the most reliable phones i have ever had, until i sent it through the wash that is, because of that unfortunate mishap i brought this one as a replacement, i rarely use many of the added features but have tried each of them out thoroughly, each and every one of the features is easy to set up and use ...
...i can think of with this is that each feature uses a different amount of battery power and the battery doesn't have the lifespan to stand any extended useage of certain features for more then a couple of hours, for instance if i used the integrated camera continuously for half an hour my battery would be on 25% even from 100% just off charge battery life. there isn't much more about this other then this is now the most reliable phone that i have ...
