Review: Sony Ericsson C510 cybershot

I have been using this phone form the past 4 months now and surely i am in a condition to present to you my users review.

To begin with it is a very very sleek phone, and a very beautiful one. Because of its looks its been used by both guys and girls without any issues. It has got a big screen with clear display, dedicated shortcut button, 3.2 cybershot auto focus camera and flash..


The flash is almost useless, though you can use it as a torch! Taking night pictures with this camera is impossible. Anyone reading this, always go for a xenon flash, like in N95. Otherwise day pictures are very clear and full of  colors. It does not have that much image stability as was in K810i, you need to hold it pretty stable.
The keypad is a little cramped, but once you get hold of it its easy to use. 
Good battery backup for a phone of this type.
The Auto-rotate feature is also quite useful, specially in media and gaming as well.
Additional features include Google maps, facebook, youtube etc.. They are available by default.
One of the most beautiful yet trivial thing  about this phone is its light pattern, whenever you get a message or a call, the lights go in a very cool wave pattern to the screen.
There is no option of standby mode clock.

I had bought it for 11,270 Rupees. Now its available for 10,000 Rupees. For anyone with a budget of around 10k, this phone is worth and will give you the VFM. But if you can afford, buy a xenon flash phone, like N95 or N82, it will give you night photos like its day with stability that can show a moving fan's blades still.
