NOKIA 6510. Mobile phone review
Review
This is the first Nokia business phone with such a small body size - only 97x43x20 mm. The phone weighs 84 grams, which is quite a bit, although the weight is felt, since the center of gravity is shifted to the bottom of the case, where the battery is located. Speaking about the appearance of the phone, one cannot fail to note the appearance of removable panels, which until now were considered an excess in business devices. As standard, the phone comes with a cream-coloured (Beige) panel, as additional accessories, you can purchase Xpress-on™ covers in 4 colors - Dark Blue, Light Blue, Red and Dark Purple. To change the panels, just remove the battery cover and then pull up the front panel, which can be easily removed along with the keyboard (the color of the keyboard is always the same) - the whole operation takes about 20 seconds. Thanks to the monochromatic coloring, the front-facing phone looks thin and light, like the Nokia 8210. But looking at the device from the side, you can see that the 6510 is much more massive, and the selected body colors only emphasize its dimensions. The keypad of Nokia 6510 is quite remarkable: the scroll, end call, call and soft keys are placed almost right next to each other. At first it seems that it is inconvenient to control the phone using such a keyboard, but it is not. It is easy to use, although still not without some effort, pressing the keys is very pleasant. It is also convenient to work with the numeric keypad, organized in such a way that each subsequent row has a slightly smaller size compared to the previous row. The 0 key is the most inconvenient to press, however, a similar problem is observed in many devices - rarely anyone manages to make the use of the bottom row of keys comfortable. Above the keyboard is a screen with a blue backlight (pastel blue) and allows you to display up to 4 lines of text in addition to the line of labels for soft keys, as well as a service line (or line of icons). The phone supports dynamic change of fonts. By the way, the display resolution of the 6510th model is higher than that of the 8310th, which allows displaying more information with the same physical size. Not everyone knows that you can turn on the backlight on this device by pressing the on / off key of the phone - in this case it will work for 15 seconds. Sometimes this feature is useful. At the top, on the left side surface, there are two volume keys recessed into the case, which are quite difficult to press even with a strong desire. In fairness, it should be noted that the need for these keys is extremely rare: as a rule, the volume level of the speaker is adjusted initially and then does not change. On the right side surface at the top there is a darkened IrDA window, which you will certainly have to use to access packet data transfer, since there is no cable for this model - the same problem as the Nokia 8310. The bottom end contains terminals for recharging the battery in a desktop charger, sockets for a telephone headset and a standard charger. At the top you will see a recessed on/off button for the phone, next to the hole for the strap. There is nothing remarkable on the rear surface of the device, except, perhaps, that the upper part of the body is painted black, and the cover covering the battery compartment is made to match the front panel. The battery used in this device deserves special mention, namely the BLB-2 lithium-ion battery with a capacity of 750 mAh. According to the manufacturer, the phone can work from two and a half to three and a half hours in talk mode, up to 280 hours in standby mode, and up to 10 hours in radio mode. Full charge time with the ACP-8 charger is 2 hours.10 min, with ACP-7 - 3 hours. Testing in the conditions of the Moscow MTS network showed that the phone can work for about 4 days with an average talk time of 8 minutes a day (34 minutes in total), daily use of an alarm clock and three or four reminders. In addition, about 25 minutes were spent playing games. When using the phone only for its intended purpose, it lasted about 5 days (50 minutes of calls). In packet data mode, the device, which had a fully charged battery, "died" after 5 hours. The time to fully charge the phone is about 1 hour 40 minutes. And now for the sad part: on the Nokia website, among the accessories for this model, there are no high-capacity batteries - you will have to be content with the standard one. By the way, the battery level indicator on the screen now has 7 divisions, as well as the signal strength indicator. Menu The tested device had firmware number 3.22 dated 10.01.02. No errors were noticed in the implementation of the functions. Since the Nokia 6510 is similar to the 6310 model in terms of its capabilities (with the exception, as already mentioned, of Bluetooth support), in this review I will focus only on the especially interesting functions of the device:
For the first time in a business class device, Nokia has implemented an automatic keypad lock (this function was previously available only in Nokia 6250). In the menu Settings - Phone settings - Key block options (Settings-Phone Settings-Automatic Keyguard) you can set the time (from 10 seconds to one hour), after which the keypad will be blocked. It should be remembered that if you left the phone in one of the menus, the blocking will fail, since the device does not automatically switch to standby mode, in which this function actually works. I hasten to please everyone who was afraid that there is no voice recorder in this model - it is. The total recording time is 3 minutes, the number of calls is not limited. A few words about the radio. According to Nokia, the headset is optional, meaning you'll have to purchase the accessory to be able to listen to the radio. As in the 8310, the sound goes to both headphones, but it is not stereo, but only mono. The rest of the receiver is very simple: you can set up and remember the radio stations, give them names and assign them to keys from 1 to 9. The radio quality is good, the volume is satisfactory. The countdown timer is set to hours and minutes - not seconds. A very handy innovation. Impressions The sound quality, as well as the loudspeaker volume, is traditionally on top, the device has no problems with these characteristics. But the call is weak. If we compare this phone with the Nokia 6310, we can say that the 6510 delivers about 70 percent of the latter's call volume - a very mediocre indicator. The vibrating alert, which is average in strength, does not save the situation, which is easy to feel from a shirt or jeans pocket, but if you put the phone in a winter jacket pocket, you will already have to listen whether it works or not. The disadvantages of the Nokia 6510 include the impossibility of using a data cable, which is absolutely necessary for packet data transfer - the use of the infrared port, in my opinion, is not an option. By the way, GPRS (3+1) works stably, no problems are observed. With an acceptable operating time from a standard battery, you can put up with the lack of larger batteries, although this can be called a minus if you wish. The phone fits easily in a jeans or shirt pocket, but you can also use a branded holster - a new, very attractive accessory. The undoubted advantages of this device are the excellent work of the software, the traditionally rich set of functions that can satisfy the most demanding user. The phone turned out to be interesting both functionally and externally. The positioning of the Nokia 6510 as a business-class device (according to Nokia's terminology, the Classic segment) seems not quite justified. For example, replaceable panels, which are equipped with the 6510th model, were previously the lot of only fashion and youth devices. The presence of a radio is also surprising: is this feature really in demand by business users? I think she's more niche. On the whole, it seems that Nokia intends to solve several problems by releasing this device, one of which is the lack of a business device of small dimensions. It is possible that now the company is reconsidering its view on the market of mobile terminals, and in the near future we will see new phones that combine the features of different classes. As for the Nokia 6510, it seems to me that this is an updated version of the Nokia 8310, and nothing more. Author: Eldar Murtazin See other articles Section Mobile Legends.
