Nokia 6510 Review

Overall Rating

Design

Speed, battery, features, price you pay

I was really looking forward to this Nokia 6510 for the design, but the design is all thats good. This is a very bad phone, very slow, bad battery, not much features. If you are thinking of buying this phone, take a look at the sony ericsson T600 its about the same size but its much better. I have them both and i really think the 6510 is not worth much.

  The above review is pants, he must be talking about the wrong phone. I have had the phone for a year now and it is the best phone i have had so far. It aint slow, the battery can last for over a week without charge and it has loads of features. How about the FM radio? vibrate mode? multiplayer games? pffffft.

  According to your comment, it doesn't make any sense cause i been using this phone for 1 year. No problems at all......PERFECT !!!

  Whoever wrote this review plainly doesn't know what he's talking about.

  A bit bizarre review cos i've had my 6510 for bout a year and its pretty good.i've had loads of different fones like ericsson and samsungs but this is the best one so far.I inverted my screen colours and now its even better to look at and i also changed the led lights on the key pad to white cos they light up brighter.top fone. my bro and girlfriend also have one as well

  Well I'll have to agree with the others here too, cause i've been using all sorts of phones in the last 5 years here at India from Motorolas to Panasonic ...... to finally the Nokia 6510. Great phone, which is worth the money you pay for. A no nonsense phone which keeps doing its job for months without a glitch. Mind you a phone which lasts that long here at India has to be real good cause the signals are bad, the envoirnment is rough yet this one stands out. One minor thing being that the rear console seems a bit loose even when new, a bit tacky. Apart from that its good.

  The only problem I have is that about 2x per month it turns itself off for no reason. Can be middle of writing a txt or using WAP. Probably needs to have it's firmware updated. It's V4.12 which seems to have most the bugs fixed. type *#000# or *#9999# to find yours.
  
  Otherwise very good, especially at keeping hold of a signal.

  The 6510 battery lasts forever, the features are excellent (remember what you buy a phone for, and this Nokia does all of that and then some excellently), and is super reliable.

  hmm...
  
  I've had a 6510 for a year (until it got nicked!).
  I didn't problems with with mine. Great phone. Definately better than the 8310. You should've sent yours back if you had problems with it.
