But it's criminal that Sony Ericsson chose not to include a standard headphone jack or an adaptor. There's no way to use your own headphones with this handset, and we found that the included headphones are flimsy, with poor sound reproduction.
Loud and clear
There's only 100MB of on-board memory in the C510, so a big
memory stick is a must-have accessory if you plan to take plenty of photos.
Audio quality during calls is loud and clear, as is the loudspeaker. Battery life is quoted at 400 hours of standby time and 10 hours of talk time using GSM, or 4 hours of talk time and 350 hours of standby using 3G. We found the battery life admirable -- a solid hour of chatting barely put a dent in it.
Stylish but small
The C510 looks stylish, especially in black, with smart blue
accents, a good mix of matte and brushed surfaces, and a bright, clear QVGA 320x240-pixel screen. It's thin, at 12.5 mm, but feels solid and well-made.
The C510 is comfortable to hold when used as a phone, and big enough to get your hand around when taking photos. The buttons are small, though, especially the feature buttons, which are grouped tightly together. Hitting the dial or end-call buttons accurately could prove a challenge for stubby-fingered users.
Conclusion
With so many smart phones out there making promises they
can't keep, the Sony Ericsson C510 Cyber-shot does what it says on the tin. It's an easy-to-use, attractive camera phone, with a good selection of entertainment features and a
solid feel. It also has a few special features that elevate it above more-mundane rivals,
like smile recognition, good Web-feed support and an auto-rotating screen. But, despite its Cyber-shot pedigree, without a flash, it's not suitable for anything
but snapshots in good lighting.

Good: Great camera despite being only 3.2mp, slim and sleek and slightly-bigger-than-average screen!!
Bad: Key pad is a bit tight, but very quickly got used to it !!
Comment: A great phone!!
Despite the camera only having 3.2 mega pixels, the photos are great - clear with good colours and not much loss of the finer details.
It might just be me, but the phone is really easy to use and nothing is very complicated to get.
The phone has a nice simple almost classic style and is pretty much indestructable, ive dropped it in the sink, dropped it on the path and it still works fine if not with a mark or two.
keypad takes a little getting used to and one of the center key sometimes get stuck but thats nothing a good poke will fix!!
Overall, great and fairly cheap phone!! :)

Good: Look of phone & camera
Bad: poor battery life, slow processing speed
Comment: Good phone in many respects but let down by slow processing. Select eg messages and there will be a 2-3 second delay before it opens - this is the same with every feature - some are slower to open than others. Also battery was better on my old mobile than this new one
