        I still do not get this model:
        Please explain to me:
        What do you like in this phone?

        The G900 had much better specs.
        Yes, it was a failure because of software problems, slow CPU etc.

        IT was given away free with a contract (cheap) or 300USD.
        Now, this one has:
        no touch screen
        smaller screen
        no Wifi/WLAN
        only 3MP camera
        (although G900 had a lousy 5MP)
        video only QVGA

        How much this phone gonna be?
        150USD?

        Is this made by Sagem also?

        Please explain!

        G900 high-end phone?
        for less than 300USD?
        with a totally outdated CPU?
        remember P1 had the same CPU and even then (ages ago) it was outdated and the biggest complain about P1.

        So if the G900 so much higher class how much this will cost?
        100USD?

        Please explain!

          Ok, this can mabey give you a clue how much c510 will cost. Here in sweden SE have anounced a price of around 2000 SKR. There is a shop called dustin.se and they have announced a price of 2193 SKR. This is the same price as the T700 is selling for here in sweden. So expect a price close to what T700 is selling for in your country. But none of the phones have been relesed here yet.

            Hello guys. I am really getting this handset. If only it had Wi-Fi, then it will sure draw some serious competition against E51, i550w and N78 (but without counting the S60 OS, that is).
            But then again, Wi-Fi is too much to ask in what they call as the "cheapest-Cybershot-ever" handset. So Wi-Fi should be excluded on your wish lists and make no mistake about that.

            But actually, I doubt (and I mean real doubt) if this C510 will make its way to be on a price the same like the current price of the K770.
            Just take a closer look at these specs:
            1. 2.2 inch screen
            2. Accelerometer
            3. 3.15 Megapixel Autofocus Camera with LED flash
            4. QVGA video recording at 30 frames per second
            5. Face Detection, Smile Detection and Geo-tagging via cell triangulation
            6. Tri band HSDPA.

            Got my point?
            Don't you think that those features are a bit high to be thrown to the midrange?? I mean, come on people! Even the expensive C905 also records at QVGA 30 FPS, has a 2.4 inches screen estate (which is just 0.2 inch smaller than the C510 which is what they call as affordable?). And another thing of note is that, even the C902 which by the way is expensive as of the moment, is only gifted with a 2 inches screen? (sounds strange isn't it?) Anyway, I know some of you are laughing at what my point is. But the fact that SE rarely load all of these in a so-called "affordable" handset led me into pondering all over.

            So I'm hoping that SE will mark their word on their statement that this handset will be positioned as an affordable Cybershot. And please GSMArena, publish the price of this phone via your news section as soon as you gather info with regards to pricing of this handset. Because it seems like, I am getting paranoid on these features to be ever taken into consideration in an affordable handset.
            Now don't get me wrong here. If ever it will be a midrange or an upper-midrange handset, I will still get this phone because of its feature load and I'm also hoping that the LED flash of this phone can also serve as a video light.

                                About the design..

                                Keypads.. look like K530s
                                Call/End keys.. look like K660s
                                D-pad.. look like C702s
                                The side and back cover really look like C902s..
                                So there's nothing new about the design..

                                BUT

                                The phone looks decent, simple, yet elegant..
                                At the beginning I wonder why there's rounded shape between soft keys and numeric keypads.. But then I realise that is to balance rounded active covers at the back..

                                Nice design..

                                  SE lovers, 11 Jan 2009hnghnghnghng !!!!!!!!!! design very standart!!!!!! maybe it... morestandard design - - - for a standard phone! anyway, you don't NEED 5 MP, 3 MP is 100% fine for an OFFORDABLE cybershot phone, maybe you don't get it cause you think more automatically means better. Not the case, this is an offordable phone for someone who doesn't want stupidly high spec features, and just wants a phone that does a job with decent features, it's all you need! People who have these C905's and Innov8's and BLOODY iPhones, just greedy! You don't need none of that.

                                        coz this is 5 series, and the price lower than 7 or 9 series, can't wait to buy this fone to change my old k550i. I love Sony Ericsson!!!
