So, you're looking into the C510a from Sony Ericsson? You are looking at a terrific phone! I absolutely love mine. It has such an outstanding music player, camera, video camera, and lots of non-phone stuff. I mean like things you don't have to have to text and call.
But, not all is good with this guy. The camera is not that great in low-light, and is often slow to shoot. Also, you can only zoom in VGA mode, which takes horrible pictures. At least it has a crop system! The keypad is very small, which gives us avid texters a tough go. However, I still manage to send thousands! LOL I've never used the browser, so can't help you there.
Make sure if you buy this phone, that you go to [...] to download your MMS capabilities. Also your internet and email. The phone doesn't come with them. Don't worry, it's free, and you just follow the on-screen directions, and they send them to your phone wirelessly. I also recomend visiting the sony website to view a detailed overview of this phone. They tell you way more than Amazon does.
I know this is not that informative, but I hope it helps you anyway. Don't get me wrong, you would like this phone too. The good far outways its weaknesses. |

| Phone came in on time. Phone was new not like new. And unlike other places the seller was honest about all that came with the phone. If you want to be assured of quality get your phone here otherwise buy at the other place. |
Non-conformist teenager's phone

| My teenage son found this phone and had to have it. He read about it online and liked the reviews, especially about the 3.2 MP camera. The first model one he wanted was not the C510a but a different letter model of the same phone. I called AT&T and they said to look for one with all four of the bandwidths that this model has, so we found this one on Amazon, checked for the bandwidths and bought it. It took more than a week to arrive but it was a good purchase because my son enjoys it. No one else has this phone in his group of friends and it was easy to just swap sim cards from his Krazr and call AT&T to register it. Of course now he's on facebook with his phone and we had to add internet to our bill but he paid for the phone himself and he's happy with it and it's only an additional $10 a month for unlimited internet. |
A great low-cost Sony Ericsson Cyber-Shot Phone!

This is a great low-cost Sony Ericsson phone. I've owned a lot of different phones in the past from the Samsung SGH-D900 (Black Carbon), Sony Ericsson W800i, Apple iPhone 2G, and Apple iPhone 3G. Compared to those phones, I would have to rate this phone just as good as those.
Physically the phone is built quite well. There is a slider which protects the camera lens and allows you to take photos when open. The phone has good reception (especially compared to my Samsung SGH-D900), the voices come through clear during phone calls, and the built in speaker has great sound (especially with MP3's and other music.
Also the built in web-browser does a great job but I really must recommend that you download Opera Mini. Pages load in around 2 seconds in 3G or HSDPA (in Denver) it seems as opposed to the Sony Browser which takes around 5 seconds +. What I also like is that the text messages can be displayed in a conversational text which looks like instant messaging. Those familiar with the iPhone texting will be right at home with this.
The only few negatives I could think of is that the camera is only 3.2 megapixel, there's no zoom on the camera unless you're in VGA mode, there's only an LED flash (no Xenon), and my IM (instant messaging) program was missing (I downloaded a new one).
Overall I'm going to have to rate this phone a 4 out of a 5. Mostly for it's features and it's price point. |
