![]() ![]() It’s a slick action but all seems a little too delicate to stand the test of time - whether this will survive the length of your contract remains to be seen, you might be better off with the more substantial slide-out action of the C902.Īs a Cyber-shot model, flip into camera mode and your dedicated buttons along the left side of the keyboard light up in blue, giving you access to features without fiddling around with the four-way controller. ![]() The camera lurking around the back resides under a metal cover that slides back neatly revealing the lens and dual LED flash. Perhaps as a badge of "affordability", the headset is a basic offering, so you don’t get the option to plug your own headphones into the dongle as you do on some higher-end handsets from the company. One omission on a hardware front is Wi-Fi so you can’t take advantage of all the features on offer whilst sitting at home, without cranking up data charges.īut you do get the normal connectivity option of Bluetooth, which you might choose to use for your headset, rather than the somewhat bloated proprietary connector that plagues so many Sony Ericsson handsets. In our review handset from 3, the tailored content through Planet 3 is a pleasure to surf, with quick and easy access into YouTube, music downloads and games. It is just about big enough to take advantage of the 3G offering here: HSDPA giving you access to full-fat internet on the move. ![]() The screen is bright and crisp and at 320 x 240 pixels packs in a decent resolution too. The control keys across the middles are mostly solid, but you might find the shortcut buttons below the screen are a little too small to hit in a hurry. The keypad is solid and responsive - a fast T9 keypad for those who want to bang out loads of texts - but given the social remit of this phone it does falter alongside the experience you’ll get from a QWERTY keyboard but you can’t fault the quality. The left-hand side features a covered slot for an M2 card should you choose to expand the memory above the 100MB internal memory, and the connection point for Sony Ericsson’s charger and headset. In terms of design, you get a pretty standard candybar phone from Sony Ericsson, pulling design cues from the C902, the top dominated by the 2.2-inch display, the standard belt of calling and control buttons across the middle and a 12-key keypad at the bottom.Īround to the right-hand side you’ll find the dedicated shutter button and the volume controller that doubles as a digital zoom control when you are in camera mode. The C510 comes as part of the Cyber-shot range from Sony Ericsson, so has a leaning towards the 3.2-megapixel camera on the back. So does the C510 from Sony Ericsson give us anything to get excited about, or does it play second fiddle to the C902 and C905 models? It sort of detracts from the fact you might have something to offer in your own right. (Pocket-lint) - It must be hard being branded as an "affordable" mobile phone. ![]()
