With CyberShot branding, it’s no surprise that Sony Ericsson are pushing the C510’s imaging capabilities before anything else. The 12.5mm-thick body hides a 3.2-megapixel autofocus camera with an dual-LED flash, and onto that the company have heaped Smile Shutter and Face Detection. These work reasonably well, but there’s more delay than we’d like in-between hitting the dedicated shutter release button and the shot actually taking. As for the LED flash, it suffers the usual problem of having a very narrow sweet-spot: it’s all too easy to get too close, and wash out the subject, or be too far away and not have enough light.

Once taken, photos can be viewed in portrait or landscape orientation, with the C510 flipping between them automatically, and Sony Ericsson load a few editing tools – including an automatic correction for light balance, brightness and contrast – to tweak shots on-device. These can sometimes eke a little more crispness out of a frame, but aren’t really comparable with even the most basic of Photoshop fondling. Happily the 2.2-inch QVGA 320 x 240 display does a decent job of displaying both images and video, the latter of which is recorded at 30fps.

There are a clutch of photo tools on offer, including a panorama mode which helps you line up your panned shots with translucent edge-previews, but it’s undermined by only working in VGA mode. Similarly, attempt to zoom in and the C510 won’t allow it, unless you’re down to just VGA quality. Internal storage is 100MB, with a Memory Stick Micro M2 slot taking cards up to 8GB.

Sony Ericsson preload Google Maps onto the C510, but with no true GPS it’s not something you’d want to rely on for everyday navigation. The C510 instead uses cell-tower triangulation to pinpoint your position, something that works better in densely-populated areas as they tend to have more active towers. Don’t expect accuracy to more than a few streets, however.

More successful is the YouTube client, and though you wouldn’t choose it over a desktop computer were one available, it’s certainly good enough for a casual distraction while out and about. The C510’s UMTS/HSPA 2100MHz support makes for speedy viewing, and the browser and RSS have neat integration with the phone’s homepage, new RSS feeds popping up in a discrete ticker.

Media playback is unchanged from most other non-smartphone Sony Ericsson handsets, with sound quality through the supplied headphones a little better than the average set. That’s good, because the company insists on using its own proprietary connector, rather than offering a standard 3.5mm headphone jack. Album art shows up and the TrackID song-title identification service is a neat addition, albeit one you may not actually use all that often, but Sony Ericsson’s confusing and sluggish PC sync software lets the side down.

Call quality, happily, is clear and strong, both through the earpiece and the speakerphone, and the C510 proved tenacious with a signal. The chassis feels sturdy and well put together, with little creaking or flex, and though the blue LED lighting might edge toward cliché it does stay just on the right side of tasteful. Battery life is quoted at 400hrs of standby or 10hrs of GSM talktime (or 4hrs 3G talktime); regular camera use will impact that the most, but if long battery life and ease of use are your top priorities then the C510 should appeal.

Overall, the C510 is a serviceable handset and slots neatly in among the ranks of budget devices. Its appearance – soberly well-judged, rather than glamorous or over-designed – make it a sensible choice, though the specifications don’t particularly stand out in the crowd and the CyberShot branding promises, perhaps, more than it can deliver.

For your  Sony Erisson W595 and C510

The story of Terminator Salvation is quite removed from the style of its predecessors though. Set in a post-apocalyptic world, after the Skynet Corporation has decimated a large proportion of the world’s population, John Connor leads the final assault into the heart of Skynet itself. It’s humanity’s last chance for salvation, and is sure to be an action-packed thrill fest.

This theme features several promotional posters from the film, plus shots of the mechanized terrors, the terminator foot-soldiers, and a shot of Christian Bale doing his bit for mankind- putting a bullet in a terminator, obviously.

The Terminator Salvation theme for the Sony Ericsson phones is simple enough to install. Just follow the instructions below.

1. Download the zip, say, terminator_c510.thm to your PC or Mac by clicking on the link below
2. Then use the supplied USB cable or set up a Bluetooth connection to transfer the theme file across to your Sony Ericsson C510 handset
3. You will then be prompted that a new theme has been received. Click on Set to install the theme
4. If you want to change the theme back simply go to the main menu, click on Settings then Display and then Themes and select the theme you want to change back to.

Download from here

P.S. Same theme is available for other phones too. In case you want, just buzz me 

Cheers

“A smile is an infectious thing and the Spread the Smiles campaign aims to capture the brightest smiles across Indonesia, Malaysia, Philippines and Thailand with the Smile Shutter on the C510,” said Peter Ang, vice-president, marketing, Asia-Pacific region at Sony Ericsson.

“What we have done is to create a Smiles Wall where members of the public can use the C510 to capture their smiles, print the photos and mount them on the wall. In Indonesia, we held this event over a weekend at the National Stadium in Jakarta which attracted close to 3,000 people.”

“In addition to promoting the key features and fun element of the phone, we are also spreading the smiles by donating money for every smile collected. Thus far, we have raised close to US$5,000 for the Yayasan Cinta Anak Bangsa, education of underprivileged children and drug prevention programme in Indonesia.”

Launched in March, the campaign will continue through to June in Malaysia, Philippines and Thailand.
