 Excellent despite a few drawbacks September 6, 2010
tszefr (Texas)
Let us hit the drawbacks first in case any of these are deal breakers...
* Perennial S/E complaints - non standard headphone setup and usage of M2 memory
* Keyboard a tad cramped
* Decent but not stellar RF performance
* No wifi
* No GPS
* Broken for Gmail java applet
* Battery life problematical if you push the phone
Once you get past these there are some outstanding points
* Supplied unlocked and unbranded
* Excellent display
* Excellent keyboard
* Excellent build quality
* Excellent camera cover
* Good enough camera resolution
* 3G bands compatible with AT&T
A number of features shared in common with other modern unbranded / debranded SE phones are
* Java capable of backgrounding several apps
* Ability to load and use a number of Java apps, like Opera Mini
* Ability to sync contacts and mail (for example with Gmail)
* Superb mail tool, usable with servers supporting POP3, IMAP, and IMAP idle
* Excellent music player
Of all the drawbacks, the most annoying one to me is the issue with Gmail applet. I have used a half dozen S/E models starting with W810i, and this is the first time I have seen the issue. Considering that all the other phones work well, I think this is an S/E issue. You can get gmail on the phone if you want but you cannot easily select an addressee. The stock mail client is arguably better than Gmail applet as it will use phone book contacts and is capable of handling attachments as well as receiving push mail. With this mail tool you can do all the "text" and MMS you want via email and using only a data plan for "dumb" phones.
Some practices that will sink your battery are watching youtubes and setting up push synchronization plus of course running a bunch of apps backgrounded. You can of course sync on demand or not at all. I would like to find and buy a dongle that supports charging plus usage of hands free head set at same time.
All in all, I would rate this phone 4 out of 5. At under $200, I am pleased, very pleased with it. I declare the C510a a worthy replacement for the renowned W810.
 Finally a phones that does the basics properly July 2, 2010

I've always loved Sony Ericsson phones. In addition to being just a little bit differnet, they sport a wonderfully intutive interface and intertesting desings. I've been using this phone for a couple of days and here are my thoughts so far:
Pros:
-Beautiful screen,
-Nicely weighted, feels solid
-Understated design, very attractive
-Keys are good for texting, maybe a little small for larger hands
-Interface is intuitive and snappy
-Phone has a decent set of features for the price
-Charges quickly
-Good battery life/talk time
-Decent reception
-Phone feels well built
-Unlocked version allows more customization such as shortcuts/custom tones
-Camera is decent and has lots of settings
Cons:
-No way to use the camera flash as a flash light (like on the old W810i)
-Call quality could be a little better but is by no means poor
-Volume rocker is small and hard to change while talking
-I wish Sony Ericsson would switch over to micro USB for charging
-No 3.5mm headphone jack
This is by far the best Sony Ericsson phone I've owned, or any phone for that matter. If you are looking for a loaded smartphone obviously look elsewhere, but this is a phone that does all the basics really well and sports a few nice features as well.
good enough April 15, 2010

This is my first sony ericsson. Every works great except for the camera which isn`t that great in case you take a lot of pictures.It is a cyberShot camera but don`t expect great pictures. Works whith T-Mobile I was able to use my faves but i can`t see my faves icons.
A great phone for most applications January 8, 2010

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.

Sony Ericsson - C510a
Meboy - Sword of Hope on Sony Ericsson C510a
*** PLEASE READ DESCRIPTION BEFORE ASKING QUESTIONS *** arktos.se This is the Meboy website. This should be your first step if you have a problem. It features FAQs, phone compatibility lists, game compatibility lists, etc. It features more information than I can give you. If you have a concern, try checking it before asking in the comments to this video. Here's a few things I can tell you right away: Yes, this is as good as the sound gets right now. Some phones can't even do the sound this well. Sound is still an experimental feature in the emulator, so don't expect much. Games may not work as well on some types of phones, and some games may run better than others--you'll just have to check the lists on the site. I decided not to do Pokemon Crystal again with my new phone because frankly it runs exactly the same. I decided instead to make this video to show off the rotation mode on a larger screen than my K550i. It's a very nice setup for RPGs and the like, but pretty much useless for any sort of action-based or button-mashing game, as you can really only use one hand to play in this mode. Still, if you're playing an RPG it gives you the option of a much nicer display. Would have been a little longer but I kept pressing the center button (which brings up the menu) instead of the button I set for A and so I kept constantly pausing it. Still, it gets the point across.
