General Comments

I have had the Nokia 6510 for a year. I owned the 3210 before that, amazing, die-hard machine. This one is small, light, pretty but very expensive, even now that it is obsolete and you can get twice the stuff at the same price!
5 months in use, one day it chose not to let me access the catalog, though it recognised people when they called me. The official Nokia service charged me 17 euros (about 11 pounds) even though the warranty was valid and the fault was obviously not mine. The result: I quarreled with the manager and after I went home I found out they had ERASED ALL the names and all the messages I had stored! The official importer for Greece (Alpha Copy) was equally useless when my sister's 3410 broke down 8 hours after being bought and they took 2 months to replace it. So all greek readers, beware.
When I sometimes try to change the ringing profile it does not respond and doesn't light up, as if nothing happens.
Also, when I'm reading or deleting a message, if there is an incoming one at that moment everything "freezes" and I have to turn it off and on again! Otherwise, I get a frozen screen for an infinite amount of time.
The reception is fine, the FM radio is OK (just changes stations by itself sometimes).
Overall, I prefer not to by a Nokia again (can't stand dealing with its people again and its absurd pricing) but I'm used to it and I have 5 chargers and 2 hands-free kits! What am I to do with them? Try another (japanese maybe) brand.

    the 6510 has the best array of business features.
    but as it is mono colour it is outdated. yes while using wap my 6510 crashed many times.the problem was solved by a software update free of cost at the nokia centre.i have sold my 6510 and taken whatever i got for it.

    Hmm, bad luck on servicing. Overall though the phone is excellent, does all it's supposed to do and more, extremely reliably. Not the newset phone, but the best of its kind.

    My Nokia 6510 also locks up when using sms to text a message and is very annoying to have to turn off and start all over again. The thing also likes to lock up and turn off doing a reset for no apparent reason unless it is the network sending out some sort of reset signal. DUNNO

    My 8210 used to do similar things until the keypad and screen were replaced. The blue screen is ok at night but in the day it is too dull to use. Why are the earpieces still so awkward? need some that actually fit peoples ear and not cause earaches when used for extended periods listening to radio! Manufacturers need to look at this valid comment. Some features are missing that my 8210 still does such as send an sms to a printer or computer via infrared port. Very handy when one has harassing sms and needs to log work ones also. Please NOKIA put this feature back on business phones. Pity did not find this out until i bought it. The plastic dummies in the store are next to useless to ascertain the actual features available and brochures don't help let alone ask a salesperson! An analog clock is much better as a screen saver than a tiny digital one in the corner. When it is dark one can always tell the time by where the hands are but try and read the 6510 digital clock even with the blinking light on for us who are losing our sight as we get older!!!!!

    Cheers
    Hans-Robert.
