Nokia 5510

Recently bought a Nokia 5510 on ebay as I wanted one when they were first released but couldn't afford one at the time.

Nowhere near as big as I remember them. Radio and music player are really good, and the rest of the menus are laid out as every other Nokia has been. Would be considered a brick compared to the phones available now, but I really like it.

I purchased the Nokia 5510 quite a while back, in red. I was really excited when it arrived, but that's when I realised I made one of the biggest mistakes in my phone career. I couldn't believe the poor size of the phone. I could barely fit it in my pocket, and when I could I couldn't get it out!

This phone is pretty much the 3310 but with sideways keypad. If you use your phone a lot, and carry it arond with you - I suggest you do NOT buy this. This phone should be marketed for first time phone buyers, at the age of 7-12.

The reception was shockingly low anywhere I went, and cut off on calls pretty much all the time. I agree that the additional Radio is a good feature on the phone, but truly, it's gone completely out of the market.

If buying it now, I wouldn't pay more than £30 for it.

Recommended Age: 7-12 (Professionals, I suggest the 8890, tthe 5510 is truly abysmal if needed to use for making many calls, texting many people and for an organiser)

Thank you,

Kyle.

The Nokia 5510 is a decent phone, good features. Only the bad points let it down.

But seriously, it's a good phone.

OKay, my Nokia 5510 was second hand, and i bought it in the summer (03). It looks great - always draws attention because not many poeple have got it - and the mP3 player is good (if a little limited in memory by todays standards). The QWERTY keyboard allows you to txt quicker, but only when you've got used to it (which takes time). One of the only REAL problems is that the earpiece seems to be in an awkward place for some people - but only some. Oh and the back cover is a bit flimsy...

Other than that, its wicked. Good games, good tones, animated screensavers and you can fit a reasonable amount of music on it! I reccomend it if you want somthing a bit different (and a music phone thats doesnt cost too much)

I got my nokia 5510 a few days ago. I got it for a price of 899 DKR (86,34 pounds).

For that price it is a great phone. I bought it for the Mp3 player. And was happy to find out it worked great!

I can use my own headset so i dont have to use Nokias little junky headset. But you need to use the adapter that comes with the phone .. but that is a good thing so you wont break the socket on the phone (having a normal headphone plug in the phone, in your pocket, would not be good for the phone) cuz of the wellmade nokia adapter!

To install the nokia software is real easy too! BUT its the worst piece of software i have ever owned! its slow and takes up LOTS of space (makes a new copy of all your multimeida files!!) and is slow in transer!.. But i looked around the net and found a freeware piece of software for the phone that does the job fast and easy without any of the problems :) (http://www.aam.prv.pl/) ..

You might find it a bit clumsy but it can't be any smaller

cuz of all the buttons! so you just gotta figure out if

you can live with that ... but then again it saves you

from a mp3 player in the other pocket ;)

the rest of the phone works pretty much as you would expect..

Strange looks gets people attracted to it and to the owner as well. :) I luv my 5510. made for each other.

I bought this phone and was one of the first people I knew with it, the salesman told me it would really kick off over here. lol 1 and a half years later im still waiting. I ordered the phone from a catalogue without thinking about the dimensions lol but i wanted something unique & thats what i got, it may be a little different but then again that reflects my personality, the mp3 system is great,the texting is cool, tjhe games are hard to play but overall it ROX!!!!!!!!

Well, the phone just got out it really looked cool i bought it....after a week i just got sick of its ugly shape i mean its huge and i hate holding it ... i mean its bigger than a 7650...... just dont buy it trust me you will only enjoy it for sometime and then wish you never bought it.....................

over all phone so good i would not buy this on pay as you go but on contract. If you like music this is the phone for you.

Almost everything about this phone is better than it seemed apart from playing games. The controls are extremely hard but once you work it out it can get a bit easier.

I have never been able to text faster unless I go to 02's website! The space key and the shift key make it really easy but still not cluttered.

This is my 3rd phone (Nokia 7110, Siemens SL45i, Nokia 5510) and it's the best by a margine. Everything works flawlessly on it and is overall an excellent phone.
