    The phone doesn't come with any instructions nor are instructions avaialble from the web making use of the add on features like the mp3 player all but impossible to work out.

    The good: cheap

    The bad: everything else

    same Anonymous -- 08/09/09 (in reply to #320249818)

    have u figured it out because i want to know that too

    I agree with the first comment ...Steve Black -- 11/05/09

    I agree with the first comment - the so-called users manual (it's just a fold-out piece of paper a bit bigger than A4) is atrocious and has so far prevented me from making simple adjustments like ring tones, clock etc. This is the reason for the low rating I have given.

    The good: I don't know - I can't work out how to use it. Controls are not intuitive at all compared to other phones I have used in the past.

    The bad: Worst instruction manual I have ever seen for any product.

    e2510 Anonymous -- 16/09/09 (in reply to #320204557)

    I paid $89 and I am pissed off. I haven't got a clue how to use it beyond calls and sending an sms. I have never owned a m/phone before and I am filthy on Samsung and Telstra.

    I purchased this phone because ...Cheryle Houghton -- 08/06/09

    I purchased this phone because my old one wasn't WAP enabled. I've never needed anything fancy in a mobile phone but find this one has some really useful features but I agree with the comments about the manual. It's pathetic. I tried the website to get a better one but there was nothing so I had to spend quite a bit of time working it all out.

    The good: The price. Bluetooth. Expandable memory through use of micro SD card.

    The bad: The manual. It is supposed to have USB connectivity but I have been unable to locate a connector. It would also be handy to be able to get a car charger.

    For a AU$59 phone (with free $ ...Gary Bennett -- 15/06/09

    For a AU$59 phone (with free $10 worth of calls) I think this is excellent value for money. As the previous reviewers mentioned the manual is practically non existant but who cares I found the phone very easy to set up and I am not a great techaphobe. The sound quality is excellent.

    The good: Price

    The bad: At that price why would you worry

    SAMSUNG E2510 kim -- 17/09/09 (in reply to #320204627)

    what file can i use on it - i put vids pics and songs on my sd and when i try to use them it sez file contend not suported = what files will work!

    ... blah blah wot -- 03/10/09

    the phone is so slow.. bad file rendering.. the only good thing is price.

    GOOD = Nothing?

    bad = like everythin

    You get wot U pay 4 Eddie Coombs -- 08/10/09 (in reply to #320355007)

    At the end of the day there are noo "free lunches" - if you want a G3 phone with fast Internet, good quality camera and heaps of features, then buy one. If you want a cheap basic phone with basic features - then for the price the E2510 may be a good fit

    Samsung E2510 Anonymous -- 18/10/09

    Great basic phone. I haven't found it difficult to navigate. I have had no problems with storing sms. If you are after a phone to make and receive calls and sms, can't go past it.

    dont tell call quality is "great" Introspection -- 31/10/09

    just compare again with few others... i really doubt..

    price more cheaper Anonymous -- 04/11/09

    now u can get this phone for $29 at coles...they have a special running from 5th nov until 11th nov....

    E2510 Anonymous -- 07/11/09

    I agree with all the other comments. Got mine for $29 at coles, but..... I don't care how little we pay for something......still should have proper instructions. Really annoying! Want to make the message alert louder & longer, but, how????

    games Harry Jackson -- 17/11/09

    How would you download any games on this without a usb?. I have an old Nokia 2100 and the games are built in. Thinking of replacing this with the e2510. Any suggestions? Harry

Overview

» Enlarge

The good:
  • Cheap as chips
  • Good call quality
  • Passes itself off as a more expensive phone
The bad:
  • No external notifications
  • VGA-resolution camera
  • No USB cable or software
  • No 3G
The bottomline:

The E2510 makes a perfect phone for someone who doesn't need the extras, people like short-stay travellers, for example. It makes excellent calls and has a loud ringer, but forget the extras like low-spec the camera.

Editors’ rating:

7/10

RRP: AU$59.00
