    Good Points: Good resolution, many useful functions, radio

    Bad Points: Unstable software, lack of ringtone composer

    General comments: Nokia 6510 - It wa the second Nokia phone I owned. I chose the brown one as I felt the black one was awful. The phone has rather useful and good functions except that it gets a little unstable when there are many items stored in the calendar and archive and folders. The handshaking welcome animation goes off after I start saving quite a lot of things in the above-mentioned functions. The radio function is very useful, but the reception of the radio functions seems to be quite lousy at places, even where there's open ground. Value was quite good until colour screen phones appeared.

    This Nokia 6510 mobile phone handset has some lovely features. The unusual green tint high def screen is very cool and easy to read. The Nokia menu system is to its usual high standard and it is very light and small. However, the problems are niggling. Reception is generally poor and the handset often has to be turned on and off for it to reacquire a signal. It also hangs every so often. Overall, an ok phone. but it has been surpassed both in terms of size and features by now. ...

    This Nokia 6510 is higly recommended by me ...... i use my latop (IrDA port)to surf internet and orginize my nokia mobile phone. Battery life it to good. Up to 6-7 days and talk time is a little shy of three hours, which seems perfect for a user like me.

    I bought the Nokia 6510 phone recently from the leading cellular network in my country at a very good price (40% lesser when it was first introduced in the market) with a seal still intact and with an aroma of fresh from the factory. In fact there are many Nokia non-color handsets to choose from at a lower price but I picked this one from the rest 'coz it really appeals me. Obviously, the company is quite in a hurry to dispose this kind of phones from their inventory. Well, color phones had been ...

    My Nokia 6510 is Slowly dying as the sign-on tick no longer displays after 12 months and now the clock has gone missing off the main screen too. Of course it is not under warranty anymore and is not listed as a current phone on nokia.com.au! NOT IMPRESSED. At least when there was a problem with the 8210 displays mine was replaced free of charge way after warranty expiration.

    The Nokia 6510 is infuriating when it switches itself off when writing texts, then switches itself back on and you have to re-write the whole text. I've had it for about 9 months and this has gone on for a while now. It has limited text message space and the inbox has poor memory. However, it is small, light, easy to use and doesn't look offensive.

    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 imple ...

    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 qu ...

    I've had my nokia 6510 for about 9 months and i'm sick of it switching itself off in the middle of writing a text then turning itself back on but then you have to write the whole message again. It happens too many times. When opening the inbox it takes a lifetime, very slow. Would not recommend this model. My contact is soon up and i will definately be getting a different type.

    I've had the Nokia 6510 for almost six months now. I have to admit, I never had any problems with it. With me being a Nokia user already, it only took a couple of days to get used to its new features. I have to admit, I miss the ringtone composer that my previous Nokia had, but that's a minor point when I consider what a reliable, stylish phone this is. Lightweight, small, user-friendly, good for fast texting, good reception, high resolution screen, fast internet access. Put it this way: I hav ...

    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.

    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 gra ...

    This is the best phone I've had! It gave my money so much value because of its features and size! It has all the features I've been looking for in the 6310 but without the big bulky size. I've always wanted to get the 6310 but I never liked its large size. It's also not as small as the 8310 and the 8250...the size is just right for me!

    This is one of the best phones I have ever owned! This phone is a pleasure to own, it is so small. Unlike other nokia phones, this one stands out because not so many people own one. The blue screen looks smart. Apart from a small bug (that occasionally causes it to reset itself) This phone has had no problems. I would definently recommend it.

    Very handy phone everything you really need in a mobile, except Bluetooth for heavy buisness users. The phone also has good features with 4 quality games, FM radio and WAP mobile internet.

    I copied my phonebook from the phone to my sim card and not all numbers was transfer to the sim. I have a total of 150 number and only 96 was copied. My sim can store upto 250 numbers. I tried to test it using another sim but got the same result. After discharging the battery and recharge it for about 8 hrs while the phone is off, the phone clock is no longer synchronize. This phone is not that perfect!!

    From nokia 6210 to ericsson t39 to nokia 8310 then nokia 6510 mobile phone...the most stable and and easiest to use is the latter. Surfing via GPRS with my iPAQ is a breeze...small size, higher screen resolution (more pixels than most nokia models), nice calendar view, love the phonebook, longer battery life than most nokia models, sleek and simple design...as nokia says...small size - big impact. I thought the t39 was the phone for me but when I saw this in the nokia website...it was love at fi ...
