Written by: _ 0 of 0 people found this review useful User Rating 4.5 Out of 10 I purchased this phone mostly for its design as well as its features and reviews when it first came out middle of last year i think. Now, I am very disappointed with the phone's text messaging capabilities. It's not text user-friendly at all especially when the t9 option is used. The vocabulary seems limited and you end up having to type the word anyway. When I have to use symbols or numbers, I have to get out of the message screen, select the symbol OR number option, go back to the message screen to type the symbol/ number, then go back once again to select t9 Then finally back to the message. It's not easily accessible. Next, the keypads are flat and sometimes it's hard to type messages. Also, I have some issues with this phone when i place a call or in a middle of the call. One time the call was disconnected so I had to redial the number. It just so happened that the person im trying to call was also calling me back at the same time. So when i tried to press the green button to answer, it does not work at all! It just keeps on ringing despite my several attempts to answer the call, even by pressing each and every keypad. This happens too often and one time I got so frustrated, I had to open the phone and take out the battery just so it would turn off and stop ringing. Would not recommend this to anyone :(

Written by: Shea 0 of 0 people found this review useful User Rating 5.2 Out of 10 This phone wasn't a very good phone. I've had my phone for nearly a year now and I've had many problems with it. I get error messages often times when I try to send text messages and have called to try to get it fixed, but it continues to give me error messages. I've also had problems with it freezing up when I try to send texts and the only way to get it to stop is by taking the battery out. I hate the fact that the phone isn't very durable, I've scratched mine to pieces and have givin it minor water damage. I went to get my phone fixed, and the people ended up breaking it in half. I recently dropped it and now the screen doesn't work. The screen randomly quit working on me the other day, then I dropped it and it fixed, now it won't work at all. I also cant stand the fact that when it's on the charger, it wont vibrate. Many phones do that, this is one of my first phones that hasn't done that. This phone could've been made to be a lot better of a phone and got more customer satisfaction.

Written by: Alex 0 of 0 people found this review useful User Rating 4.2 Out of 10 I switched from a Pocket PC phone to this Samsung M510 because of the lighter-weight features and convenience of accessing the music, tv, and GPS navigation. This phone (after 7 months) was not able to handle the memory required for the navigation function. Therefore, I was disappointed since I was not eligible for an exchange or an upgrade through Sprint. I do not recommend this phone if you are looking to buy. The battery-life is not good if you listen to music or watch tv often. Also, the charging outlet and the headset outlet are both located in the same hole on the phone. So if you have a low charge and would like to use the headset, you can not do both at the same time.

Samsung wanted to charge me about $90. to "repair" a phone that was only 4 months old when it stopped working. The phone is engineered so poorly, that if you even lean against it when in your pocket, will ruin the front screen and the phone will begin to get hot. The design places the outer screen at such an angle on the bevelled phone that it is the first part of the phone to make contact with an object you might lean against. Will never purchase another Samsung product due to their unwillingness to honor their warrantee.

I don't like this phone, because the keys aren't placed in a recess. In other words, there isn't anything separating the keys.
When I first recieved them (ordered two), I accidentally accessed the internet, because the keys are to close. I had web accessed turned off, because each time I pressed the web button, accidentally, I was charged before I actually was online and I didn't know I was being charged. The charges were on my bill.
I like all of this phones features, but I can't afford to use them, especially when, accidental web connection is charged without my knowledge. The ringer is to low. I've never used the media software. I gave it a one rating, because I could not submit this rating without checking a number in the dropdown box.
I sent one of the phones back to Sprint and the one I still have will no longer be my primary usage phone. I'm going to use my old LG PM-225

I had issues with the phone restarting itself upon start up because of low signal. Secondly I hate that the first picture you receive on picture mail is mini; its hard to see detail. As far as battery life goes its about normal for phones these days. Texting all day 17 hours worth with no calls leaves you with about one bar, but also I've texted all day and made phone call for an hour and the same result. Phone calls lasting 3+ hours kill your battery with or without bluetooth. All in all the best phone I've had in the last 8 years.

Written by: douglas 0 of 0 people found this review useful User Rating 2.2 Out of 10 Media,
Plays only apple formats. I dont want to have to convert all my clips to something else.
Music/Videos/Internet sounds do not play through ear piece. You have to have a stereo blue tooth for that and/or separate stereo headphones. This is a real pain.
Camera,
Creates apple format, would be better to create AVI files or MP4 files.
Design,
Is cool until you have to open the phone to answer it. Its contoured shape at the edges make it hard to open to answer. The only solution is to use an ear piece.
Smooth button display is a pain to use. You have to look at the phone to enter numbers. I have hit end several times when I'm trying to put it on speaker(even though its a very low speaker phone). Other times I hit the buttons around the circle area, when I'm trying to do something else.
Hardware,
This phone has rebooted several times since I've owned it. Not sure if it gets stuck and does a automatic shut down.
Battery,
When it runs out of power this phone sometimes tells you its low, sometimes it doesnt. When it does tell you, get off the phone quick or it will turn off without further notice.
Speaker phone,
doesnt work very well. Too low for any real use. At times you have to wait to select speaker phone or it wont do anything. Other times it says it is in speakerphone mode, when its not. Kinda hard to tell when it does this and you don't know until the other party hangs up.
Mute,
is a joke. Its too hard to get to. It should be one button.
I would run away from this phone as fast as I can.

Written by: AKC 1 of 1 people found this review useful I have been really happy with the M510; especially considering it is a phone that I didn't want to have to buy. I have been with Sprint for 7 years and my original phone was a Samsung N200 (I think) I LOVED that phone and carried it for 4 years!!! When it finally died I used my rebate to get an LG phone, which I purchased based mostly on the reviews. That LG was the worse phone ever and from the day I got it I hated it. But I am cheap and refused to buy a new phone until my 24 months was up. Unfortunately after about 8 months of use the LG feel apart. Literally. The earpiece broken in my hand while I was using it. Seeing as I am a cell phone only person I had to buy a new phone and I wanted to get back to Samsung, so I selected the M510. It has been a great phone. Good call quality, nice design, I have no complaints. However I can see where people that text a lot (I never text) might not like the flat key surface. But other then that this phone is a winner.

I love the option of having excess memory which makes it easy to print pictures at a store. It takes very clear pictures too. I only wish it had a "zoom" option, or if it does I haven't found it yet.
