It's not a bad phone. Mine is a hand-me-down from my Mum. I don't know what that other guy is talking about but this camera is quite impressive. It's only 1.3mp and but the auto focus is quite good and if you hold it still images generally aren't blurry. The flash works and as far as average phone cameras go its perfectly fine for an okay quality photo every now and then. Sound quality from the speaker is better than average and you can use WAV files for ring tones if you please. As mention by others the battery life is not as good as it could be, I get just over 2 days of use and I only use my phone for txting and receiving the very occasional call. The thing I do dislike about this phone however is the UI. In particular with the message inbox, one can only delete all messages in a folder or delete them individually. The phone does provide a "clean up feature" which has the default option on the left or the screen being "delete" but this really doesn't make deleting 100+ messages easy. most other phones e.g. Nokia seem to have an almost OS wide "mark" or "tick" function which will allow you to perform a single action on multiply selected items but this phone lacks this for some unknown reason. The MP3 play works well enough although i don't see why anyone would bother as you can only fit about 1CD on the phone at a time. I wish I could comment on the video calling features but I live in Tasmania which supports a better 850mhz 3G band which wasn't around when this phone was released.

I have this phone, and yes, the battery life is appalling, but it's a great phone all up. Music is quite loud,and good volume. Bluetooth I've only ever had problems trying to get files from my computer. you can drop it, throw it, even get it in puddles and it still survives. My only problem is the playlist. The buttons located on the right side of the phone (when closed) are kinda irritating, if you lean on it it starts screaming out all the songs in your playlist.... also, does anyone know how to delete your playlist/delete music from it? (without deleting the song from your phone??)
Great! :3

I had the phone for about 12 months, and it was fantastic for 9 of them after that it just spazed out and was mired by many problems: could rarely send sms, the time and date would change on its own, often switching between 12 hour and 24 hour display and the camera just stopped working all of a sudden, but all in all if it hadnt been for these issues i would still be using this extremely rugged phone, but i love my iphone now

I have had this phone for about 18 months now and its doing pretty well. Only problem i have is that there is something corrupted in the software and i can't send or receive picture messages. Other than that its been dropped in the toilet and it still works fine%Pr

Enjoyed it first. The reason the large memory (more than 140 mb)10 mp3 from 4mb up to 9 mb honderds of pictures. Movies and still just half the memory full. Later the model became a little much. Next time a slider or a brick. Still good phone would advice anybody that want's it go for it.

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.
