Sony Ericsson K510i Review

Rating:
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
  • Internet: GPRS, Access NetFront™ Web Browser, Modem
  • Operating Frequency: GSM 900 / 1800 / 1900 MHz
  • Size: 101 x 44 x 17 mm
  • Weight: 82 g

This phone was surprsingly really good for its time but it was bought for me three years ago and has only now gone a bit dodgy despite forever dropping it! It's very sturdy and doesn't break easily. The memory is rubbish and the picture quality terrible, I had over 100 pics but only 4 songs. I wouldn't recommend it for people that like attractive phones that have loads of memory but it was good for its day. I still have it even though I have a new phone and it's broken

k have had this phone for 2 years get phone still works and everything apart from the backs come off completely because of the amount of times I've dropped it but the screens still perfect also my joystick thing has problems going up and right occasionally. Good variety of downloads available the battery good.m Like Craig said memory no great so can only hold like 20-30 good quality photos depending what you got on it already.Also its not so great for music especially as it doesn't except wma files which I have quite a few of and barely any mp3s but its alright if you just want one or two songs.I find its best to keep uploading pictures as soon as you've taken them if you can so you have space to take more.

I really do not like this phone. The keys are too small and the little wheel thing is really annoying to use. Has hardly any memory, and mine will only hold about 10 songs. If you have too many videos or pictures it will take forever to turn itself on. Picture quality is terrible for 1.3 mega pixels. It freezes a lot, and is really slow. Would not recommend to anyone.

I have had this phone for about 3 years now and it's pretty good. I really want a new phone though. The screen is very small and is very slow and takes ages to load. I have found that it keeps freezing as soon as I turn it on and go to the main menu. Very annoying! The joystick is a bit frustrating, too, because it can't keep up with me and always clicks at random moments. I think it has almost everything you need in a basic mobile phone, but actually gets a bit boring after a while. Mine is the red one and looks quite good. The keys are quite tiny and thin and sometimes I end up pressing 2 keys at once! But if you are looking for a basic and easy-to-use mobile, I recommend the Sony Ericsson K510i, although it is getting a bit old. Compare it to the iPhone, for instance! xxmobile-phone-loverxx

I love this phone. I've had it since January 2006 and it's still going strong. None of the keys have ever broken nor the back fallen off, however when I shut down/start up it takes a while but that's because i filled the memory to bursting and it's fine as I barely ever turn it off =) The battery life is great and long lasting, unlike my brother's sony ericsson which will only use my charger causing him endless problems. Another problem would be with the connection to computer but this is down to my poor care of the cable. I am soon looking to replace this phone but I cannot see myself straying from Sony Ericsson, the make is so durable and simple to use =) I am planning to keep this phone as a second use for festivals, gigs, camping etc. as I know it is reliable. 5/5!!

Having had this phone for just over a year (just after the waranty finished), it broke in a peculiar way. Some of the buttons dont work(the on off button, 1, 2, 3, select, and 2 directions on the arrow. It is odd because these buttons work in the java applications and in several of the less frequently used sony erricson features. This means the fault is not hardware or a mechanical fault with the phone. But the fault is software, as a software engineer I am aware software doesnt break in that way after a set ammount of time. The fault is an intentional built in redundancy. The phone is designed to break. I think this is immoral and disgraceful. I will never purchase another phone from this manufacturer as I view this as criminal damage. I urge you to do the same.

had this phone for 2 years now, it's not bad - memory could be better but will hold about 100 pics with a few songs on aswell. cameras alright, but you have to keep it very still or the pics will be blurry when you blow them up on computer. when you first turn it on you will have to wait a bit for it to sort itself out or it'll be slow to use. normally by the time it's found your network provider it'll be good to go. the joystick navigation is really good - better than having 4 separate buttons for up down left right cos you don't have to keep repositioning your thumb i'd say this phone is good for first timers and if your not fussed about having all the latest features, but keep your mp3 player and digital camera.

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.

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! =)

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.

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 less than a year - 7 months to be exact, and the joystick has given up. this is extremely frustrating, and so far as i know, nothing can be done about it. I had a previous model and the joystick died after a year or so. I will be replacing this phone tomorrow morning as i can't read messages, can't SEND messages, or really do anything that requres movement or change in options on a menu... RUBBISH.

I've had the phone a month and am impressed with it so far. To get a camera and short videos in a phone for £40- is impressive. I plan to use it overseas ( New Zealand)using Virgin network and wonder if anyone has had problems with the triband side of things. I can see that the joystick could be a problem as it needs to be used so much.

This fone is alryt, I think it could do with a bit more memory because it has only managed to hold three songs and a couple of photos. The other thing I don't really like about it, is the navigation button because i can't use it properly. But if you want a phone with all the features, I recommend this one.

If your looking for no nonsense gadget free phone this is the one for you. Easy to use straight away and well built. Does what it says on the tin and at a cheap price. Very good.

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!
