Samsung m510 / User Reviews

I got this phone for free from Bell for a replacement because my other phone broke under warranty. This phone turns off randomly for me when I use Mobile Browser, it randomly freezes often and even froze in the middle of the night so I missed my alarm for work, and the speaker is giving out after only... More

So the only positives that I can think of off my head are that the volume isn't bad, the battery life is exception (as opposed to everybody else's review), it's cheap, and it can do what any basic phone can do plus some more. Since I'm not an excessive texter, I also have no problem... More

i have had this phone for almost two years
it's sucks the screen keeps coming blank or the screen goes up side down
now bell won't do anything to get me a new phone
they tell me it's my problem what kind of company is that shit is i say

Like any phone, it has its good points and its bad. I am not into texting so issues I have read about re: texting are not an issue with me. It has worked well. As for the keypad being small, isn't that an issue with other cell phones as well. I can't imagine trying to type with a black... More

This is a great phone and has a great music player that goes quite loud.

the only thing that is annoying is when you text you have to press the space button twice:(

I really do. AND I have no trouble texting and am an avid texter. YOU GUYS!!! For the go/in probs on the T9, just hit "next" or the 0 and the next word will show up. Once you've done it a few times, you get to know that for the word go, you just type and hit next once and away you go!... More

This phone looks nice. The exterior is OK, although it seems to get chipped easily, and the clamshell is hard to open with one hand. My previous phone was an LG, which had neither of these problems.

Picture quality in the camera is decent, but it needs an ungodly amount of light in order to use a reasonable... More

I have had the M510 for over a year and here is my review:

Pros:
Fast Functions
Bright Screen
VERY durable
Easy To Use
Long Battery Life

Cons:
Poor reception
Terrible Texting (T9 on this phone is NOT good)
Inadequate Speakerphone

ive had it for almost 2 years and it survived everything! its cute and i love the big flat keypad! and its easy to read. simple back, end and talk instead of stupid symbols. tons of features especially ringtones! i just can't say anything bad about it. actually a couple days ago i left it in my... More

i've had this phone for over a year now, and it's alright. its quite durable, its flown out of my pocket while biking and it still works fine although with a few scratches. i've never had any real problems with it, although the flat keypad gets super annoying after a while. if i hit the... More

Pro: All features are top-notch, aside from the two deal-breakers below.

Con: speaker sounds muffled compared to any other mobile phone I've used (too much bass, no treble, asking people to repeat themselves 10x more than usual).

Con: after a few months, started to turn itself off randomly. This... More

This phone ROCKS! You get a lot for the small price you pay. I can talk for hours on it including in the bathrooms & tunnels. It is super flat. I've dropped it many times, sat on it, left on a heater, left the web browser running for a couple of hours & talked on it outside in the rain.... More

ive had this phone for about a year now its ok butt the only thing wrong with it is tht when i try to creat a media file on the phone it says error rmo4 n now i cant seem to put any songs what so ever on it so if any one nos how just post back but yea i dont really like the phone tht much

I have had this phone for over a year now, and it has served me well. fairly durable, I've dropped it so many times but it still works!
the flat keypad is somewhat difficult to navigate. other than that it has a good design and good reception (bell)
the camera is alright for the price
one big... More

First of all, if you are interested in listening to any music via this phone, you had better hope that you are in a quiet room without any other sound(s) happening in the background. Next, an issue with durabilty; after owning this for a year and taking very good care of it, the inner LCD screen totally... More

This is, by far, the greatest phone I have ever had, and I have had 5 other phones:
-audiovox 8310
up graded to -samsung m300
upgraded again to -LG rumour
broke rumour, bought temporary -motorola v3c
upgraded to -blackberry pearl flip
didnt like pearl, bought -samsung m510

All of the above phones I... More

This phone is very reliable! Had it for exactly 1 year and no problems. Good if you just want a phone to talk and do minor text messaging. Reliable and no complaints. All around it's a great phone!

All I have to say is I have had this phone for almost a year now... and the only problem I am having is getting music and ringtones on the phone! The place I bought it from is full of morons that cannot help me with anything to do with this phone. So if anyone out there knows how to put music and ringtones... More

poor reception
poor keypad - flat keys not made for hands bigger than a child.
poor T9 setup
incoming texts override the one your typing and it asks you if you would like to save the one it's kicking you out of.
It's nice being able to play music on it, but the headphone jack is proprietary... More

Good phone. The only thing that is a little annoying is that when i have no reception I cannot see the time and date on the phone. Instead a big picture of a satellite dish and the words searching fill both screens. Otherwise though its great.
