Motorola W510

I purchased the Moto W510 used because of the investment made in batteries & chargers for my Moto Q and Moto Renew W233.
The W510 is unique in that its firmware is recent enough to detect incompatible battery packs such as the BQ50.
Both the backlight timeout (5, 10, & 20 seconds) and the display timeout (off, 1 minute & 2 minutes) allows one to see display & backlight timeouts to conserve battery power.
I have backlight timeout set for 10 seconds, and display timeout, 1 minute - though I've had the cellphone on for over 8 hours since the last charge.
My concern for battery life has been relieved by the initial use of this phone.

I had a sony w300i and it died after 2 years. This phone was a oh no I have to replace it and I'm stuck in a contact with a crappy company Who's razors did the white screen, strobe light, on, off, freeze thing to everyone I knew that had one. So the sales lady grabs this phone I said NO I had get this 17 razors in 6 months that looks like a razor. Oh no this phone's nothing like those. Well she LIED! after 2 weeks It freezes, Whites out, Turns off, Keeps turning off. Blinks, Take out battery re-apply battery than look it's loading SLOOOOOOOWLY. This is the WORST peice of crap besides their razor's I have ever owned! I'd love to find that witch and throw the peice of junk at her but she's no longer there. AVOID AT ALL COST! My razor from Verizon worked awesome by the way. I hate this phone with a royal passion, I hate that lying witch who talked me into it also.

I own this cell phone.And yes,it is really great,but for the first 6 months.I started having a problem with the screen,i open up the cell phone and the screen turns white for like 3-6 seconds.Then,it gets slower,you have to wait for the menu to show up.And then,the memory started glitching,i thought it was my memory card,but it was the cell phone.And now,i cant take any photos or music,because i dont have enough memory.I dont recommend this cell phone,it kinda sucks.I want to change it,and i think i will.I saw that other people are having the same problem and that master reset thing doesnt work,it doesnt solve anything,well,atleast not for me.I dont recommend this cell phone if you are going to use it for +6 months,dont buy it x(.

For the first 6 months, this phone was great. Excellent battery life, decent features with affordable price. The only trouble I had was with the installed browser. It just doesn't work. The web-session settings were fine because they work with opera mini.
Then the problems started revealing themselves one by one. At first the memory card slot starts acting up. Sometimes it would work fine, sometimes it would say 'media unformatted', and other times it just fails to detect the memory card. At first I thought my card was faulty, but it worked fine on other devices.
Then came the blank screen every now and then. Then the random hangs.
After 1 year, my phone was still usable but mostly just for calling and texting. I can't use the camera and music player if the card slot keeps having random glitches. Swollen batteries (well my lousy charging habits probably contributed to this), I tried replacing the batteries but the phone wont accept the new batteries with message: Invalid Battery, Unable to charge.
My conclusion: If you only plan to use this phone for 6 months or less, go ahead. Otherwise just avoid this phone.

The phone I had before was a V635 and it was great till the charger and the screen quicklt acted up and died..This phone at first made me say WOW! Compact and capable but... Six months later the battery started failing and the blank screen started to really piss me off.. I've had Nokia, Samsung, Sony Ericsson and a couple of Motoral's and nothing bites like W510 .. (6 months, come on! )

This handset has been amazing. I have loved it until just recently after having the phone for 6 months, the screen started having all the problems you will read from other owners of this device. I am so peeved at this particular model and I reported this problem to Moto themselves. They replied and told me to go to Master Reset to reset the phone. How stupid! Its the display flex cable or whatever. NOT THE MEMORY AND STUFF LIKE THAT! I am getting a new phone. I would NOT recommend this phone. Sorry. Thanks for reading,
