(sorry for my bad english) I like this phone very much, but I want to throw it away when it freezes with incoming calls if I interrupt the full speech of voice software, never freeze if I let de voice software ends the full speech "recieving call from...". Any idea how to fix this problem?

Hi Eddie here again,

heres how to put mp3 ringtones on the phone. Let me knw if it works for you and if u hav ani problems just ask.

found a workaround by replacing the stock "Rings" mp3 file with your own file.
Use p2k commander, first back up /c/mobile/audio/~alertfile323.mp3 to your pc, delete it from your phone.
then rename your own mp3 file to ~AlertFile323.mp3 and copy it to /c/mobile/audio.
Now you can go to Media->Audio, select Rings and apply as ring tone

replying to all the other posts>>other then the mp3 ringtone thing

i have this phone on order... in my experience w/ moto phones i ALWAYS update the firmware first before i do anything w the link below. from reading the posts i will most likely update the firmware and then do a master reset therefore making sure that everything is kosher. if that doesnt work i'd bug the h*ll out of motorola until they did something about it.

Excellent: design, voice quality and many features for the price.

I no longer use a land line and was attracted to the phone for the "up to 8 hours talk time". I was disappointed to find the talk time was only 3 hours (approx) after 3 complete battery drains and complete recharges. This is without using any of the many features that would drain the battery.

When entering the numbers for dialing the phone constantly froze up. Each time I had to remove the battery and place it back in again. Fortunately the Canadian carrier had a 15 day return policy which I took advantage of.

Every review I have read speaks favourably of the talk time. Has anyone else experienced problems with "freezing"?
I was favourably impressed with the phone's features (love the voice dialing software, which eliminates the need to set it up).
I am going to consider my first W510 handset to be a lemon and give it one more try.

you can set ringtones that are stored either on the phone's memory or on the micro sd card

When I set to have a delivery report, my sms is not being sent! How can I send an sms and get the delivery report? When I set not to have a report, my sms is being sent. All the other things on this phone are great.

OWNERS OF W510.
a lot of people are reading all opinions to know if they can buy this phone or not. please some body who knows a lot about motorola phones , please tell me and the others readers the conclusion of why on the voting results it has a bad average on everything. And if the phone isnīt bad write your opinion. I think is better one general good opinion of the phone , than all this opinions, Iam tired of reading "itīs bad" itīs good" and finally dont have the idea of the phone. thanks . juan

ok i have this phone for few days and i can say this
-about scrolling in contacts - no problem and i even can wright the name i want ,is not -just with the first letter
-pictures & films pretty good for a phone
-the battery lifetime i'm not to happy with it or maybe it takes more time to configure his power,cause i have this phone for 3 days
-the meniu is not changed or not to much, i had a motorola v220 before ,
-when u are in meniu is slow but is nothing surprising ,all motorola are like this , if u make upgrade for soft maybe it works better
