Good Points

Ive only had this phone a week and as everyone else says it is a really good small reliable phone, having the radio and wap is brilliant as on those long trips you cant get bored.


Bad Points

When you go to write messages, it sometimes freezes, also when you get the delivery report coming up on the screen while reading another text it freezes and turns itself off.


General Comments

In general this phone is very reliable and i have had no major problems except the ones i have mentioned, but my girlfriend has had a lot more problems with hers. For instance saying theres no reception when it has a full signal and displaying the networks name, also it keeps cutting off in mid calls and taking forever to turn back on, this is her third phone from nokia and is still having problems. If anyone has had any of these dificulties could you please either reply here i would be most gratefull.

    Th3 6510 is similar to the 8310. The 6510 has a better calendar display and an electronic wallet (fine if you do internet banking). If you enter *#0000# into your 'phone you will get the software version. My 'phone is running V 05.06 07-03-02 and occasionally crashes when I am writing an SMS message and I lose all that I have entered for that message. It doesn't happen often and I find it best to frequently COLD start your 'phone by powering it off, waiting, then powering it back on at least once per week. It's like any computer, it occasionally gets its knickers in a twist and a cold start loads the software afresh. Otherwise my 8310 is running okay. I imagine the 8310 and 6510 have very similar software. I know my software is not the latest and there is a later version available V 05.11 27/05/02.

    Think about getting your 'phone's software flashed-up at a Nokia Care Centre.

    My 6510 crashes too often! It is so annoying...I just can't be bothered to txt people anymore, because when it crashes all I have inputed are GONE! It is very strange...I don't trust nokia with their software anymore...most of my friends had nokia 8310, but they all BROKE..my mum's 3310 is also broken! Lucky I am getting a new contract soon...i want to get rid of this awful 6510...It is so slow...when you try to open your inbox...have to wait for 10 years...I guess the memory is too low...MAYBE NOKIA company should go back to their CELLs and investigate the problems before they sell more! HUM! Sad isnt it? I always had Nokia...but now its time for a change...

    I've had the 6510 since Jul last yr. It seemed fine for the 1st 3 months then the problems came. It will auto-reboot when a few SMS comes in at once or when I'm composing a new SMS. There are other symptons as well but overall it just hangs or give me a "blue screen of death" similar to WinNT 4. It's most annonyin at times. Overall, it has great features but I just wished it hasnt hung so much.
