General Comments
I'm not one to dispense accolades easily, but this little phone really is quite excellent. Most of the reviews that do not give this phone high marks complain about the fact that it's not enough of a toy. They want to compose ring tones, take pictures with it, play videogames, etc.



Personally, I buy a phone to make phone calls and write text messages. And the 6510 is the most reliable phone I have ever owned (memories of my ericsson phones make me shudder).



All the features are well implemented, I have never missed a call, the reception is great, there is tons of space (and folders!) to store messages and phone numbers, the vibrate alert makes your whole pocket shake, and the menus are super easy to navigate. The fact that it has a radio, a calendar and fast WAP are bonuses.



Yes the games could be better, ring tones are not quite Beethoven, and the phone doesn't make ice cream. But ask yourself what you're buying your mobile phone for. If it's to actually make phone calls and communicate well and reliably, while having a stylish little thing that fits everywhere, the 6510 is for you.
