I think its a gr8 phone - a super version of the razor. I still use it, have been since 3 years. Dropped it a 100 times, the body reveals the metal base - phone is strong, sturdy and high quality. Love it !

        Great phone.. but when u drop most phones they just scratch but when i dropped mine it just became covered in chips.. really annoying.. also i wanted to make one of the songs on my phone as my messages but it would only let me pick from the phones message tones.. one more complaint is that whenever i go to send myfriends a picture throught messgae it never works.. but bluetooth works fine..

        but other wise that is all i hav to complain but everything else brilliant.. very light in weight 4/5

            Brought two of these phones for my children. The camera on my sons phone stop working when his phone was around 8 months old and my daughters phone stop working after 6 months of use, something to do with the LCD sceen some how calasping in which the repair guy said had seen the same problem before with this model phone, the cost to fix would have been $160. Be careful with sumsung warranties as they state warranties aren't given if phone is purchase on auction which mine were. I think sumsung made a dodgy phone and unfortunately I got caught.

              Just go to My Computer, Open your drive - most probably D-drive and you should be able to see Content of your original Samsung PC Studio disc. Then click on installation tab for PC Studio 3. Standard procedure for all software discs as they sometimes don't AutoRun. You might need more than PC Studio to install. I think there are some additional drivers required to acess the phone. The best way is to install all soft available from the disc.

                  I bought z510 a year ago and after 6 months of heavy usage accidently lost. Loosing phone contacts was not such a big deal compare to loss of the phone. My provider supplied me with a latest Nokia S60 smart phone which I had for the last 3 months. Nokia suddently feels as an overheating and uncomfortable candybad with tiny keys,brick packed with lots of useless functions and what was most important,too small to hold in one hand.After one month with Nokia I started missing my old Samsung and finaly got one from eBay. Actually,I bought two z510 just in case I loose one again. Nokia was discarded as a heavy brick with weird interface and pretty sick menu. On an other hand, z510 has everything I need: it's light in weight, has big buttons, good size and grip,nice look, bright screen, user friendly interface, nice camera and steady reception in all areas. Some imperfections like weak speaker, not long lasting battery and some small flaws now seem too minor for me and I can handle them. You can get used to z510 after one week. The rest I can only described as the most comfortable and reliable phone I have ever had. After almost a year of my experience with z510 I can't see, any better model on mobile phone market at this point of time. Well, I'll stick for a while with my Samsung z510 untill our dealers will bring from Korea somethig as nice and comfortable as my current phone.

                            I have used that phone in work and I could say its allright. It has good sharp large display and the keyboard is good for typing too. It has all functions like todays phone have.Menu is also OK. In overall i should recommend it as good and elegant phone but dont expect something superior.

                                i've had this phone for about a 2 years. It's pretty great but the keypad is a little hard to use, making texting a bit annoying cuz u keep writing the wrong words especially if u're using t9. In spite of this, i still love this phone to death.

                                  I think i might buy this phone,
                                  $220 off the techoni website,
                                  But anyone willing to sell their's?
                                  I was also wondering if the Z510 supports M4A files?
                                  Because I would really like that as I use downsized M4A files on my Sony Ericsson Z610i which i'm getting really tired of.
                                  And does anyone know of an app that downsizes the MP3's without losing too much quality,
                                  To sizes about 1MB for a 4 minute song?

                                  Thanks,,
                                  Daniel

                                    had this phone for a yr. it worked well but the battery needed recharging everyday as well the keypad not all the buttons would work so dialing ans texting became very annoying.
                                    itz an ok phone but still got pissed off with theses problems

                                      very easy to use.
                                      easy 2 text and call.

                                        i used this phone for about 6 to 8 months until i brought my nokia 5700 xpress music few weeks ago ... and i gave up the z 510 ... but i must say that the z 510 is a very pretty and a good phone ... the display is way better than i expected it to be its brightness is very good and the menus are very user friendly but it seems the firmware cannot be updated ...

                                        the outside of this phone is metal i guess and painted in black using some kind of a paint ... but this is not good so u better not put it in pockets with coins and sharp things etc. ... also dont accept this phone to do what a smart phone does most of the java or other applications and games cannot be installed ... the mp3 player software in it is very good and powerfull ...

                                        also it got an inbuilt 3d amp to make ur mp3s more louder when playing music without the headphones ... but it use the hearing speaker of the phone as the sound output which i dont like much ...

                                        the battery life of the phone is quite good but not as i expected ... if u start playing music and videos all the time the battery drains very very quickly ... its the same when ur using the video recording mode ...

                                        the rotating 1.3 mega pixel 3g cam is very very nice and it does very very good for a 1.3 mega pixel it maybe surprising in photo shooting ... the flasher is good too not bad at all ...

                                        the keypad is very well built and the external mp3 keys and the external cover display is awesome ...

                                        one thing i hated the most in this phone is that it does not have an external memory slot ... i was very angry with it becuz of that ...

                                        anyway i have to say its a pretty good phone but its not so good as an mp3 player or a video player ... ill give it 8 out of 10 ... and the phone is now outdated ... but if u get it for a less prize go buy it it wont disappoint u at all ... also i recommend u going for this phone than the motorola v3i ...
