It would be a perfect phone if it's software would be fixed. Everything is ok with it except that after some time of using it it becomes VERY slow, especialy when writing SMS. Though restarting solves the problem, but it is very irritating.

          This phone makes me happy. This phone is not working properly. This phone is good looking. This phone frezes sometime. This phone is convinient with its Word, Excel and PDFD viewers. This phone has no good connection. This phone has great dictating machine. This phone will be sold by me ASAP.......... Nokia is number one and I will take 6510!

              I have a phone like this, it has no mp3, but I like the design, but when u try to lock it with "#" it shuts down, I don't know if it's the battery. It has gr8 colours and the sound is awsome.
              I like it, but I will change it soon :)

                          a short story about this phone...
                          BenQ-Siemens S68 is capable of decompressing ZIP archives. Actually, the web browser decompresses them. But, there's one BUG. Bug in capital letters.
                          When you're unzipping a big archive and you run out of space (this phone has 26 megs), instead of stopping and warning you, it hangs and you have to take the battery out to restart. Now, this OS (firmware) doesn't boot very well when you have about 200 bytes left...
                          The first two times I tried to boot, it crashed right after "Startup assistant" closed. Third time, it worked, but was slow like h3ll. I managed to open "dictating machine" and delete everything from it (I use "dictating machine" as a notebook because it's accessible from Java apps such as Opera Mini -- I record ~1 second and write my note in filename) and freed up about 157 kB. The fourth time it worked. Now I check what size zipped files actually are.

                            To enter pause, hold 0 key, the "+" sign will act as "p" when in the middle of number.

                              To FLEMO: Thank's guy, I will try again. How long extends the battery life with BL-4C?
                              The original battery provide me less than 3 days life.

                                To Version 52: I tried BL-4c in my E71 and it was working. But it is not 100% same, metal contatcs have just a bit moved position, so after pluggin battery into pnone one of contacts was in wrong position. It needs just to move it with little help of needle to correct position - metal to metal and it should work.

                                  I have tried to put Nokia BL-4C battery without success. The phone doesn't recognize it.
                                  It is th worts GSM software I have ever used. Now I will sell it and buy Nokia 1112 and will stop to take care about bullshits as bluetooth & USB connections, synchronizations, themes, etc. I've paid a lot of money for GSM in last 10 years. Now I understood that as simlest it is as good will be. Does somebody knows where is possible to buy a new one Nokia 6510 or Ericsson T39m?????

                                        Does someone know how I can enter wait symbol "w" in phone number? It's very useful when you need to wait for reply from answering machine and farther send some codes to it by manual request. Nokia phones let to do it by pressing "*" key 3 times and symbol "w" appears in current position. I've found only "Enter pause" in S68 phone in "Option" menu. If I will not be able to do it I throw this phone to the window.
