Sony Ericsson K510i ReviewRating:
Date: 14/11/2006
The Sony Ericsson K510i is a very good mid-range camera phone. It comes in a smart sleek black or purple finish with the option to change the appearance using the Style Up covers. The phone only weighs 82g so it is a nice lightweight design.
The built in camera is 1.3 megapixels with video recording capabilities. In comparison with other similar phones this is a very good camera for this price range.
This phone has an excellent large TFT display supporting 262k colours and a resolution of 128 x 160 pixels.
The K510i comes with a music and media player which allows you to listen to your MP3's and watch video clips. Unfortunately however, there is no option to extend the phones external memory with a memory card so you can only store data up to 28 MB depending on the configuration of your phone.
This phone has MP3 and 40-voice ringtones which means that 40 notes can be played simultaneously. In comparison with other similar phones in this price range, this is a good standard although some phones are offering a 72-voice polyphonic sound as well as MP3 such as the Z610i.
It has excellent connectivity with Bluetooth, USB and infrared. The Bluetooth allows you to wirelessly connect to another device with this capability up to 10 metres away, while the infrared connection can only connect on a much shorter range.
The internet connection for this phone is GPRS. This in comparison with others in this price range is below average as many phones have a significantly faster transfer rate with 3G or EDGE.
The battery talk time is 360 hours which is amongst the highest within the mid-range phones. It works on a tri band operating frequency meaning it will work in Europe and America but not in Japan.
Overall this is a very good phone for this price range and we would recommend this product. The only weakness is the lack of memory card which is a downside because the MP3 player would benefit from this feature greatly.
Features of the Sony Ericsson K510i include:
- Camera: 1.3-megapixels, 4 x digital zoom
- Video Camera: Video record
- Display: 262,144-colour TFT, 128x160 pixel
- Music Player: MP3, AAC
- Media Player
- Java Games
- Ringtones: Polyphonic
- Connectivity: Bluetooth, Infrared, USB
- Memory: 28MB internal memort
- Messaging: SMS, MMS, Email

- Size: 101 x 44 x 17 mm

This is a really bad phone. I've had it for about 2 years now and it's really let me down. It keeps switching off for no reason and then switching back on saying "sim card inactive" however it goes back to normal after about 5 mins. The features are all really old, the camera is horrible and there's hardly any memory. Can't even get one of those memory cards to put in it!! It's really rubbish for 2008...two years ago it was still pretty new and cool but it's not worth buying it anymore. Don't buy it.

ive had this phone nearly 2 years and its still in pretty good contition, which is saying something because i drop it loads and dont look after it as much as i should. the only critism i have is that the back has come quite loose, but i fiddle with that alot so not much of a surprise, also the navigating button in the middle is a bit wierd sometimes. the mp3 player is good and has a good volume range. the cable and software to connect it to the computer doesnt work with vista so you need to make sure you can get music through blue tooth or windows xp or something. the memory could be better it just depends what you want it for.

I've had mine for a year and it works fine with me, with a decent camera for snap shooting and excellent audio quality for the favorite songs you love to use as ring tones. The low-downs ofcourse are 1) the non-expandable memory (which I don't really mind because I do have a separate music player). 2) the horrible joystick (I'm glad that SE finally decided against it). 3) the rather short battery life. But I still rate it as excellent specially on toughness, I've dropped this phone a lot of times and it still works fine! =)

Have to say this phone is very long lasting if you treat it right, it does all the basic functions, sound is decent quality but the camera isnt that good and need to keep taking the back cover off to wipe the camera. if it had memory card capabilitys that would make it 5* reccomended if you want a cheap phone

I've had this phone for over a year now, and for what I wanted it for (ie calls and text), it's perfect. It's small, light and has been 100% reliable. I have to say it amazes me what people expect. Take a look at the specs, it's a basic phone not a walkman, camera etc. To get features like that you need to spend money. I paid £130 for mine which is very cheap for a mobile handset, (top end handsets are over £300!!). For the money and what it claims to be a full five stars.

All in all a great phone. The 1.3 mega pixel camera is excellent although the screen doesn't do it justice. Viewing on the computer or printing makes you appreciate it. The gprs is great and even better when you use it as a modem. It achieves speed of 114 kbps. The ear phone volume and sound are the best I've ever experienced. Although the video is low quality, for the price it's okay. The cons: the battery tends to run out too soon. I guess it's coz of all the surfing I do. I solved that by getting another battery pack and a universal charger viet directly charges the spare. The buttons also tend to stick in when it's new but once I wore it in it became ok. The joystick also tends to gather dust and becomes unresponsive but vacuuming it fixes the problem. The 28MB memory is a bit low and having no provision for adding a card makes it necessary to download them often. The internal browser lost it's ability to save web pages to the memory later on so I installed oper a mini. All in all a great phone.

DON'T BUY SONY ERICCSON PHONES. The joystick on my K510i has broken after 6 months & it was sent for repair. Sony say it is unrepairable and that this is not covered under the warranty ! To rub salt into the wound I have to pay £10 to get it back from the repair shop. I will not be buying more of their products and I suggest you do the same.

Just bought in 2008 brand new for £40 - Great phone! Still holds its ground 2 years after first release, with more than enough options to the most basic of operations (you can choose to apply the options or not and so are not 'nagged' by them by having to go through loads of screens and saying 'No' to them). Another GREAT addition is the 'INFO' button which explains each operation you highlight, really handy. There are tons of other bits and pieces to keep everyone satisfied. The only downside I've noticed is the small memory , although, this may be upgradeable via mem card...don't know as yet.. For the price it's a total bargain, it works beautifully and without glitch. SONY are always reliable, they are expensive due to the fact they use the highest quality parts and as such are reliable and sturdy (friend put his SONY through a whole wash and spin in the washing machine by mistake - it still worked afterwards!!!

I've had this phone for about a year, and it has performed excellently. The memory size and battery life can be better, but I knew the limitations when I bought this phone, so it wouldn't be fair to complain about it. The phone has worked flawlessly the entire year. Only glitches it ever had were: 1. occasionally goes into "emergency calls only" mode even though network has signal 2. phone book browsing by typing first few letters of the name has a problem in some of the letters. Regardless of these two weaknesses, I'm very pleased with the unit. It. My old Nokias started acting up early on, this one has survived a few falls and still keeps going.

Not bad for a basic phone low budget phone and stylish too. Calender, Alarm is good, not too bothered about camera, hardly use it so its ok. BUT, if you're a texting person like me and you even drop the phone once it becomes less usable and slow. Also I personally find the keys not as good to text from as nokias. I've had it over a year now so it's served me well. But I text faster than the letters actually load which means I have to go bk and edit it all (very frustrating for someone who texts a msg in less than 30 seconds and it at least takes me 3 minutes now). Also takes ages to go to e.g. messages. Otherwise, pretty gd and has nice bright colour screen (so not low res and pixelly) I recommend to those who take better care of their phones and don't drop it!

hiya i bought this fone about a year ago and a word of advice DONT but it if you want a music fone go for the sony ericson walkmans. But if you wanted an average mobile buy this one. On it just now i have six 3megabite songs, 53 pics and one video plus 7 games! GOOD BITS: the fone is very simple to work and the battery life is VERY good. The cameras great for a 1.3 megapixl. The games that you get with it are decent. You can make your own folders. It dosen't scratch easily. Comes with a USB cable. BAD BITS: thefone memory is really BAD. after a few months the fone wont switch on but just go to where you bought it and get a new battery(for free i went to virgin media in Glasgow Fort.) the fone screen cracks if you sit on it. the bluetooth take a while to pick up other bluetooths. THIS MOBILE IS A DECENT PRICE AND VERY GOOD IF YOU ARE NOT GOING TO BE STORING MUCH ON IT, BUT DONT GET IT IF YOU WANT A REALLY LARGE MEMORY. THANKS FOR READING! LINDA XXX

I got this phone Phones 4u yesterday for £40, including £10 calltime, yesterday on the Orange network. It was a quick replacement for my Motorola L6 which has started getting memory issues after a year. I actually paid slightly less for this than the L6 and I must say I'm highly impressed so far. Sure, it doesn't have every feature I could think of but for £40, who am I to complain? It is the best phone I have owned so far and the range of features is, nonetheless excellent. The user interface is clean and fast and highly intuitive, it has great connectivity, a highly useable 1.3Mp camera and I can even set it up to access my pop3 email if i get around to doing so. So what if it doesnt have a huge amount of memory? If I want to store a lot of songs then I would just buy an MP3 player instead. This is a £40 phone, remember. Not only that it is very stylish looking(mine came in "Seductive Red" which is possibly my favourite colour for a phone, so far). The only thing that worries are some of the reliability issues other people have mentioned in reviews, but time will tell there. Overall though, a great, feature rich, classy looking phone at an outstanding price. Probably the best phone I've seen for this kind of money. Highly recommended.

My Sony Ericsson K510i is a wonderful companion. With its powerful camera output and music, I truly appreciate this. One improvement from the K300i I earlier owned is that I am able to enjoy and share my photos with friends and family. I can even take video clips, and synchronising is amazing. I am able to save my phonebook and thus, avoid the agony of rebuilding the book if the phone is lost. The lightweight and slim body makes it easy to fit in any hand-held purse. The volume readjusts to the maximum required decibels, therefore, no worries about loud ringing tones or damage to the eardrum. The schedule, tasks and alarm tones are spectacular - I can go about my buisness knowing I have a dependable assistant who ensures I miss no appointments. Sony Ericsson, keep up and continue churning out the best; nothing can beat the Sony Ericsson team. I love and trust in the Sony Ericsson products!

Must agree it is a very nice and stylish phone. Very dissapointed with the the small amount of memory available. Often having to dump files so you can load other Picture or Music files. Could have used a SIM slot to expand memory capabilty. If it was expandable would have used it for longer, probably dump and upgrade this XMAS. Battery is rubbish and needs replacement I am sure others have experienced the same problem.

I recently bought a sony ericsson K510i. It is easy to use. It is a nize size. The keys are easy to navigate. The font is a good size. Takes good pictures. I haven't used any of the other features so I can't comment on that. I have had this phone for a month and am really happy with it.

Got this phone at Christmas and have been really impressed with it. Have always had Nokias until now and must say I'm now sold on Sonys because of their user-friendliness. Calendar functionality and PC software that comes with it (so you can stick all your info in Microsoft Outlook)is great. Big disappointment though is that the joystick has gradually stopped responding to the point where it won't do anything now.

I've had this phone for over 8 months and overall it is a good phone. The memory is too small for any music really but it does ok for taking a lot of pictures (providing u don't use the large image size). My main problem with it is the joystick, I keep my phone in my pocket a lot of the time and I'm not sure if thats the reason but my joystick gets a lot of fluff underneath it which stops it working properly, this is very annoying when the only way to scroll through a text is by using the joystick!! I am glad to see sony has got phones on the market without the joystick and I am planning on buying one of them next.

Ignore tai tai, considering they can spell neither memory nor rubbish, I wouldn't take advice on buying a phone from them. What phone you want really depends on what you are looking for in a phone, although the memory is disappointing you can still put videos and songs on there, its good if you want just 2 or 3 songs to have as ringtones. You can delete the preloaded song already on there. The camera is surprisingly good, when you upload them onto the computer you will find the quality of the picture is impressive. I bought it on Vodafone, although their rates can be more than some such as T-Mobile, Vodafone Live works well on the phone, you can get live news, sports results and some other bits for free. The areas you need to pay for are clearly marked with a pound sign next to it. Its also good for downloading songs, games and some other things. Back to the phone, it has the usual vibrating alert, which works well, a ringtone maker, a photo editor, digital zoom, th e camera mode has Sepia, Solarize and black and white for effects, as well as the possibilty of frames. You can also video with such effects minus the frames. When the keypad is locked, if you press the wrong button to try and unlock it the right button is backlit, and when you've pressed the right button the next button you need to press to unlock lights up also, good for dark situations with bad visibility. The speaker is incredibly good, very clear considering how loud you can get it. Great for dancing randomly down the street listening to "Can't Touch This" By MC Hammer. Text input is very easy, especially because of the keys, I have tested it on my girlfriend who has very small fingers and on my Dad who's fingers are massive and both could input text easily. Can choose either T9 or normal input modes. Has Photo ID, can hide your phone number. Comes with 2 games: Quadra Pop(Similar to Tetris) and Minigolf. Has Bluetooth, Infrared and USB capabilities. The screen is clear , and the phone build is strong. The only archilles heel is the joystick-like button which gives you the capability to get into the main menu. This broke on mine, however, I fell of my bike and landed straight on my phone, which partially damaged this (there was visible damage). It gave up 4 months later. Having landed directly on my phone going at about 20 Km/h, everything else still worked fine, only aesthetic damage. Should you buy it? It depends on what you want.

The best phone- the biggest letdown: Let me explain, I bought this phone for £100 last christmas, and it served me well, it did absolutely everything- undeniably the best phone I've ever had. However- recently the joystick button gave up, and no longer works. I still give a 5 star rating, however, because if you take good care of it, it could last a long time.

I do not need all that much memory because I use my ds lite for portable internet and portable Msn messenger. I aM currently typing this on my ds lite now btw. i also have an mp3 player for music. i do not see why peopLe cannot carry a phone and an mp3 player with them I mean that they are both becoming quite small so it is no big deal. this phone does what is is set out to do, and that is to be a phone, and a very nice one at that. games for phones are afew kb each, so get 100 of those with the memory on the k510i, and keep yourself busy with. i however will stick with my dslite.

I had reseption problems with mine I was told was rare with any Sony the batt life was nasty No Expandable memory FM Radio the buttons stuck from the get-go even in the store I asked and the sales rep found it was the faseplate so she swaped it out with another phones plate... the back batt cove kept slidding off all the time that was a real problem... Infact the only good things I liked about the Phone was the size of the butons to the size of the phone the sound and the depth of screen colour was real good for a phone in it's price range... This Phone was returnd to the "Dog pound" and traded in for the Z710i Now there is a phone. I gave this 3 Stars Because as the Phone I had was just a ball of misstakes I know the phone on average dose what it does very well and alot of time was put into the phones planning. And for a phone at its price range I would say any kid or young person would love to have this phone under the tree with thier name on it. In the real working world it just world cut it for me.

Although, as the review says, you get a lot for your money with this phone. I have got one major concerns with all the sony ericssons i have had in this price range. Is it just me being unlucky or do these phones regularly develop faults with the joystick controller in the middle of the phone, mines just packed up AGAIN. and i cant navigate thru the phone properly without it. So i'm now going to have to buy another new handset. Sorry Sony, but i'm going back to my Nokias, never had any probs with them.
