Reviewer: Adam - UK
Date: 14th Dec 2008
I have had this phone for a very long time but it still manages to please me. It is a very good cute capable phone with a good camera. The only bad thing I would say is that there is not enough memory, but the joy stick hasn't caused any troubles yet. I would definitely recommend this phone to anyone, :-).
Reviewer: Becca - Dundee, UK
Date: 19th Nov 2008
It worked fine, even after I threw it all over the place. Eventually the joystick wouldn't scroll down & it would often send texts 3 or 4 times. Very durable though for its price, I have kept it in case my other phone dies. Which it has. Even though it is scratched, bashed & coloured in, I love it to bits.
Reviewer: Nishant - India
Date: 2nd Nov 2008
I removed the pictures of the Indian movie actors & the video of the Hindi film. I think the best thing on it is the video camera & video recording. The joystick is problematic & there's little memory. Among Indian mobile handsets Nokia is the best (especially its keypad).
Reviewer: Dan - Durham, UK
Date: 26th Oct 2008
I like this phone but it doesn't have a space to hold a memory card. I think it is good because when you take a picture you can put a smile on it.
Reviewer: Ollie - Bath, UK
Date: 10th Oct 2008
Great phone. I had this for over a year now. A brilliant phone for someone who is getting their first & easy to get used to & extremely reliable. The only problem with this phone is the joystick that eventually really annoys you by not working.
I would recommend this phone to anyone who is a beginner with phones. But not for someone who is looking for a more fancy & better phone.
Reviewer: Nikchole - UK
Date: 24th Sep 2008
Cheap & reliable. I've had this phone for a year & a half now, joystick becoming slightly temperamental, paint wearing off a little & camera brilliant. But all in all a good phone. Does everything a phone needs to do ( text & call). It's worth £45.
Reviewer: Lola - UK
Date: 25th Aug 2008
I've had this phone for a year now & I must say it has served me well. It's a great phone if you just want the basics, camera to capture moments when you don't have a proper camera on you, phone to take MP3 (though very little memory), sturdy, good battery etc. I would recommend this to anyone as it is very durable.
Reviewer: Mother - Argentina
Date: 16th Aug 2008
It is a good phone I would recommended it for a phone.
Reviewer: Bob - UK
Date: 12th Aug 2008
This is s easy to use, many of you are saying that after the first 6months of use the joystick breaks well I've had it for a couple of years now & it hasn't broken, in fact there isn't even 1 scratch on it good phone recommend to anyone that wants a good reliable phone :D.
Reviewer: Bigsteve - UK
Date: 27th Jul 2008
Nice small phone, not bothered about music, camera usable but not brilliant. Always been reliable good battery life, easy to use but my big fingers make texting difficult only small keys. Only problem so far is instead of incoming text tone & message I occasionally get a message received one instead only does it when sending many texts annoying!
Reviewer: Manoj - India
Date: 20th Jul 2008
Best phone in the price range. I am using it for more than two years. I had dropped it plenty of times on hard surface. No problems at all. Very good phone. Only minus point is memory.
Reviewer: Jas - Birmingham, UK
Date: 8th Jul 2008
I have had a K510i for 3 years & have had no problems with the phone. It's a excellent phone but needs more internal memory.
Reviewer: Purmana - Bandung, Indonesia
Date: 15th Jun 2008
With a low price you will get an equal features on its.
I think buying this phone is better than buying a new model phones in the same price category such as Nokia 2600 or Sony Ericsson type J.
The 1.3 MP camera isn't just an accessory. It takes a good picture in adequate light.
I use it for messaging (YM, Gtalk, etc.) it's work well. & for gaming (JAVA) it doesn't have a problem.
Reviewer: James Stark - Birmingham City, UK
Date: 4th Jun 2008
It's a really good phone to carry around & mess about on it but it has got poor memory. This phone is easy to use so people who don't really know how to work phones then this is for you.
Reviewer: Hanif Hassan - India
Date: 19th May 2008
Excellent phone.
Reviewer: Karen - Edinburgh, UK
Date: 10th Apr 2008
I've had this phone for just over a year & a half now & although it worked well when I first got it, it gradually became slower & slower & I am now shopping for a new phone as it continually freezes up when I am trying to send text & randomly crashing.
The camera is OK, but if you're shopping for quality of the camera, don't buy this phone. The zoom is dodgy & pictures tend to come out quite dull.
The memory on this phone is terrible. Also, it only alerts you that you have no text memory left when there's about space for 2 or 3 more texts in your inbox so if you're too busy to clear it out it is likely that you won't get any incoming texts as this seems to be too much for it to handle.
I loved the joystick at first, until it broke. It now physically hurts to scroll down as I have to push it so hard.
Basically, like most Sony Ericsson's, it's a great phone to begin with, but it decides to stop working after a length of time. Personally I wouldn't recommend buying it if you're wanting a phone to last you more than a year.
Having said that, it does make some pretty fun noises!

Reviewer: Big D - Wigan, UK
Date: 22nd Mar 2008
BAD PHONE DO NOT GET, Very dull picture, GOOD SOUND, GOOD FACE WARP, TO EASY TO USE BORING, NO MEMORY & MEMORY CARD SPACE. USB & JOYSTICK doesn't WORK AFTER A WHILE. GET A SAMSUNG E250 INSTEAD LIKE I DID. THAT WORKS UNLIKE THIS JUNK.
Reviewer: David - Oxford, UK
Date: 18th Mar 2008
Had this phone almost 9 months now. I've never been one for expensive fancy handsets, so this has been perfect. Only cons would be the low memory & the poor sound quality for MP3 ringtones, but not a huge concern bearing in mind it's not built as a music player. You get exactly what you pay for, & probably a fair bit more on top. A great phone.
Reviewer: Rasmus - Sweden
Date: 15th Mar 2008
Good Stuff.
- Joystick, makes it easy to navigate. Sort of.
- Bluetooth.
- It works!
- Dropped it a couple of times but still works 100%.
Bad Stuff.
- 1.3 mp Camera, rubbish?
- the back keeps falling off!
- Not much memory & NO MEMORY CARD.
- Small display.
- After a while the USB stops working!
- Problems with joystick after a while too.
- No Radio.
Na, don't buy this phone if you're going to use it much. Personally I think it is totally poor.
Reviewer: Anon - UK
Date: 14th Mar 2008
Overall good phone for phoning, texting & messing about on. Bad, loose casing.
Good.
- Loads of fun.
- Easy to use.
- Cheap & worth the price.
- Face warp.
- Very good Bluetooth.
- Loudspeaker.
- 1.3 camera & recorder.
Very Good Phone, Recommended!
Rating: 9 out of 10.
Reviewer: Connor - UK
Date: 11th Mar 2008
Well I have this phone & I think it is plain ugly.
- Bad memory 23 mb.
- Terrible sound.
- the back keeps on falling off & so does the joystick.
- Keypad too stiff.
Good parts.
- Music DJ & Video DJ & Photo DJ.
- Email messaging.
- 1.3 mp camera.
MY ADVICE, GET AN LG KG800 MUCH BETTER.
Reviewer: Rishabh - India
Date: 5th Mar 2008
This phone is great. I have this phone for about 18 months & worked very well. At least it's very worth of its price. Most important is its sound quality. It's amazing & camera is also very nice.
Negative part is the joystick problem. But that started after a year & it's not memory card supporting, just 28MB memory. Rest everything great! Recommended!
Reviewer: Jonathan - UK
Date: 4th Mar 2008
Cons
- No radio.
- Small 23MB memory (if you care about mp3s on a phone).
- Unsuitable for large hands.
- Screen blacks out after 20 seconds so screensaver is pointless.
- Don't think you can remove, alter start up & shut down screens.
Pros
- Seems fine & responsive.
- Decent fast camera.
- Video recording.
- Nice bright colourful screen.
- Bluetooth.
Conclusion
A few annoying setbacks, otherwise excellent value phone for 30 GB pounds.

Can't find fault with the phone other than the memory, great phone for the price you'll pay.
Reviewer: Michael - Edinburgh, UK
Date: 18th Feb 2008
The only fault I can find with this phone is the very low memory. If you drop the bit rate of the music you can get around 20 to 30 songs (assuming the original songs are around 4 to 5 MB). However you trade some quality for the smaller size if you tamper with equalizer you can improve it a little. The software to do this is included in the pack when you get it.
Like I said I can't find fault with the phone other than the memory, great phone for the price you'll pay.
Reviewer: Gravy - South, UK

Good phone.
Reviewer: Dizzie Nizzle - US
Date: 31st Jan 2008
I brought this phone from virgin excellent delivery, however this phone is rubbish let me tell you why you shouldn't buy it.
I had this phone for a total of 3 months & am now buying a k800i because. The keypad falls apart, the case is really loose & always falls off, the joystick fell out, no memory card & not very loud.
I would highly suggest getting either the k550i or something above. You may think this phones a beauty for the price but believe me, it's worth getting a better one now rather than in a few months time.
Reviewer: Ben - UK
Date: 20th Jan 2008
I have had this phone for over a year but the memory it holds isn't very good it can hold about 7 to 9 songs the picture is only 1.3 & sometimes looks blocky if you don't want lots of space & just would rather use a phone just for phoning instead of new other optional stuff. It's an alright phone just don't expect loads of memory or good picture quality
Choose wisely it doesn't have a memory card slot so if you have extra money upgrade to the k850i like I did.
Reviewer: Zee - New York, US
Date: 16th Jan 2008
It's a nice looking user friendly phone with many useful features. I like the plain design more than sliders or flippers as more reliable & easier to use.
The major downside is the reception. In the mountains my brother sitting next to me could freely talk on his Motorola while the K510 had no reception at all. Even in the city in the corner of my office room I had trouble with the reception & it wasn't the case with other peoples Nokia's, Motorola's or with my own old Samsung.
Another minus is that it doesn't have a standard & so widely used, mini USB port. In order to have another charger at work, or in the car, or to connect headphones, you need to buy all these things separately.
Reviewer: Rual - Guernsey, UK
Date: 10th Jan 2008
It was a good phone until I had it for 6 months then the speaker broke & I had to buy a new one & it did the same people couldn't hear me on it unless I shouted at the top of my voice DO NOT BUY IT!
Reviewer: Matt - Birmingham, UK
Date: 9th Jan 2008
Harder to use than some other phones, but not bad once you figure it all out. A reasonable & cheap phone worth getting really.
Reviewer: Matthew - UK
Date: 30th Dec 2007
This phone is absolutely great. It may be one of the cheapest Sony Ericsson's out there but it beats some of the mobiles like the Motorola KRZR K1. It has all the features that you need. Like someone said it's very easy not to break it. I have dropped it on my bathroom tiled floor hundreds of times & it has not even broke. This phone is perfect for people that want a good phone at a good price. Stick with Sony Ericsson.
Reviewer: Bill - Shrewsbury, UK

Good phone.
Reviewer: Didi Nielson - UK
Date: 8th Dec 2007
This is my first phone & it is a good one. I like the camera but I think that it should have a lot more memory space because I can have hardly any songs on it if I have loads of pictures. So I like the phone but the memory space should be A LOT bigger! I don't particularly like the design either but that's a personal issue.
Reviewer: Anon - UK
Date: 8th Dec 2007
This phone was OK for me. I had it about a year. The memory on it was really poor could only fit about 5 songs on it but that meant I couldn't have any pictures or messages. One problem I had with it was the middle control button fell out! Which meant I couldn't use it at all, I couldn't be bothered to get it fixed.
Reviewer: Shojol - Bangladesh
Date: 6th Dec 2007
Phone is awesome especially the camera. One of the best in 1.3 mp. Problem is the memory but it's okay for the mid range buyer. Had the phone for last 1 year & still everything is fine. Sony Ericsson have always had problems with the joy sticks but this joy stick is very good.
Reviewer: Zoonie - Lagos, Nigeria

ITS AN OK PHONE, BUT LOW MEMORY.
Reviewer: Edy - Prishtina, Yugoslavia
Date: 5th Dec 2007
I don't get it why some people they are lying & they are saying that the quality of the sound is poor. My boyfriend has this phone since June this year & it's pretty good I think, & according to the quality of the sound I can freely say that it has an amazing clear sound & loud.
Very easy to use & quite reliable. I would recommend it the others to buy it, you won't regret for sure.
Reviewer: Tim Williams - Rhyl, UK
Date: 1st Dec 2007
I got this phone last April as my first phone. Overall I think the design of the phone is very good. It is the same shape as the W200i. It easily fits in any pocket & is quite stylish too. The only downside is the joystick. I actually quite like the joysticks on Sony Ericsson's but the fact that it can break after 6 months is a little annoying. If the same has happened to you then Master Resetting it may help a little, it has for me.
The camera, at first, looks a bit rubbish, but when you take the pictures to the computer they look much better & are very good for a phone this price. The menu is very easy to use & texting & calling is simple. The media player is okay but as others have said you can't fit many songs. However if you have an Ipod, MP4 & MP3 then it doesn't matter.
Overall I think this a truly excellent phone for the price, only being let down by the joystick problems, it's a very durable, good value phone. Best low range phone ever, & with a great price tag to go with it.
Reviewer: Rosie - Devon, UK
Date: 30th Nov 2007
It's a good phone with LOADS of features such as a camera, video player, voice recorder, Bluetooth, music DJ & much more! However the memory is RUBBISH & you can only fit 3 short songs on the MP3 Player! For the first year that I had this phone it was great, but after 1 year it started freezing & the battery said it was empty when I had just charged it up! I don't really like the style of this phone, I like flip or slide phones the best, that's why I am getting the Samsung E250v for Christmas! But don't get me wrong, it's still a very good phone!
Reviewer: Rosie Iles - Chudleigh, UK

Reviewer: Sophie - Warrington, UK
Date: 22nd Nov 2007
I wouldn't say it's a very good phone but it is okay. I've had it for almost a year now & I can't wait to get a new one at Christmas. It's got really rubbish memory & I can only fit about four full songs on it at a time.
It doesn't take good pictures, but I upload them onto it off my computer. But the phone is easy to use & its lay out is good & it isn't a lot of money to buy :).
Reviewer: Josh - UK
Date: 19th Nov 2007
Okay, I had this phone last Christmas so it's almost a year old. I can honestly say this is a good phone. The display isn't bad. The camera is quality, but you can't really see if it's a decent picture until it's uploaded onto a computer. Image quality is superb for a phone.
This phone has served me well. However using predictive text & navigating menus is made very difficult due to the lacklustre scrolling thingy. This breaks very easy with very limited life. Good volume on calls, loudspeaker is fairly clear.
Overall I would recommend this phone to others if the scroll bar thing worked properly every time. It seems to be a common issue & a bad design fault.

This phone is great, I got it a few months back it still hasn't broke, it's been dropped & thrown & still works. Reception on Orange is pretty good & the camera is excellent. But the memory is not that good I can only get about 3 songs on. The usability is really easy to control. Word of advice don't take the back cover off because the camera lens will get really dusty.

Reviewer: Andy G - UK

No one has mentioned what the actual phone is like. Is the reception good? Is the loudspeaker clear, the overall volume of conversation. I want to buy a phone, not a MP3 player.
Reviewer: Bob - UK
Date: 24th Oct 2007
I thought that this phone was so much better & a lot easier to use than my old Motorola. I only bought it as a cheap fill-in whilst I saved up for a top of the range, but I now think I might stick with it for longer. The only problem is the limited memory. I have an iPod so music on the move is not too hard but more memory would make the phone just that little bit better. Features I liked were:
- Quick Bluetooth.
- Email.
- infra-red.
- MP3 Player
- Media related applications (such as video & picture DJ).
- Also the 1.3 mega-pixel camera.
This phone is a good cheap all-rounder & I strongly recommend it to new users to the 21st century!

Reviewer: Lee Hardy - UK
Date: 15th Oct 2007
I gave this phone a design grade of 90%, because really what more can you add to it? It looks awesome! It's so small & easily held in one hand. I love the way the speaker is fitted into a tight space just below the camera.
I gave the features a 80% because it has very good features. It can play quite a few movie & sound files & takes very nice pictures. It also has several accessories such as stopwatch, calculator & alarm. It also has 3D gaming graphics. It's fantastic how they can fit all this into such a small phone.
I gave usability 95% because it's so ridiculously easy to use. Everything is detailed ever so nicely so the user knows what to do & how to do it. It also features a help system when you first start it up to help with the basics of your phone. Fantabulous!

It hasn't got one which is bad.

I got my phone for a birthday present, it cost £55 including £10 credit from phones 4 you shop. The camera is amazing & so is all of it. It has a good memory for your favourite songs &, it isn't going to replace your MP3 player or iPod, it wasn't designed for that. You can turn off the camera click noise by putting the phone on silent. It's a brilliant phone.

I really liked this phone, had it for over a year now & still going strong. I have however just updated to the new Sony Ericsson W580i. So my girl is now using it. Overall a great phone.

I got this phone on Saturday from the Orange shop, it was £55 with £10 credit on, I really like it, but wish you could put a memory stick in it because I want more memory!

I didn't pay for this phone but if I had to I wouldn't pay that much for it. Memory is rubbish though it looks cool & it's got Bluetooth, infra-red & can store lots of SMS so all good because I text a lot. The camera is really not very good & VGA cameras come up so much better, even though 1.3 is supposed to be better, it's not. Battery dies really quick though it is supposed to last up to 6 hours talk time but it really doesn't. The animations don't look as nice when texting as they do in other Sony Ericsson fones.

I got mine yesterday from Orange, only £49.99 & it's a red one too. So far I'd say it's a great phone for the price, I am quite happy with it!
PROS:
- Fast WAP
- Great quality MP3 playback
- Nice camera
- Bluetooth works well
- Attractive
CONS:
- Buttons a bit too small
- Text can be fiddly (I am used to Samsungs)
- Software not compatible with windows vista

If you are buying this phone for the camera, please don't. 1.3 mp camera, but its poor quality. I would be happier with k310 VGA camera. The sound is also too poor!

Nice phone. Only negative about it is that it has no expandable memory card. Otherwise it's a killer phone.

Ya, Just bought this phone & kinda like it. Just one little problem, the memory. But its price. This phone deserves a thumbs up!

A good phone for beginners. Don't drop it or you might find it turning off on it's own. Other than that it's okay. It is a very good phone.

This is one of the best phones in the market. It is very valuable for its price. The design is good, but not excellent. I think all of the phones of Sony Ericsson are not lovely in design, but they have very good features, & cameras.

This phone is really bad, I would advise all to get the Sony Ericsson K800i or Samsung U600, they rock.

Really a good phone for this price range. Excellent clarity of pictures takes thru 1.3 mega pixel Camera. I recommend it 100%.

It's a very good phone although the screen smudges easily & it should have more memory.

It has been a good little phone, but don't drop or bang it, mine broke into like a zillion pieces & parts were never to be found again & it only fell off the sofa onto the living room carpet! But other than that I loved my little phone, It was great.

OK fine. But memory is not enough. At least they can provide memory slot to add memory card. OK for all but not for MEMORY.

I have had this phone for 2 months & I have had no problems so far. You get a LOT for your money with this phone. Some people in here mistake this phone for an MP3-player replacement, but everyone expecting a Walkman phone for 100 Euro can't be very intelligent. All phones has got MP3 playback capabilities these days because it's a relatively cheap feature to implement, but this does not mean you get an ipod. I choose this phone because it was cheap, has got a decent camera, Bluetooth, & not a ton of features that I would never use. Only bad thing about this phone is the back part of the cover, which seems thin & doesn't fit too well.

This phone is quite good, although the memory could be better. But then again, you can't get everything! The camera is good as well, better than my previous phone. All in all, I would give this phone 7 out of 10.

This is a really good phone for its price. Takes excellent pictures (nicely viewed on horizontal) & video quality is also good. My only problem with it (like many other owners) is the lack of memory- can only hold a few MP3's, but the sound quality is sharp.
Apart from this main & obvious flaw, it's a brilliant little phone, well wo
