I think this phone's great, it looks good and has so many cool extras, the main problem for me (and my mate who also has it) is that the screen seems to be a dust-magnet. It doesn't really matter too much but in direct light it's kind of hard to see the screen because of all the dust trapped behind it!

The picture quality is superb on this phone, it links to home broadband easily.

However, there is a lack of information, even in the user guide and there are too few games available!

Love the Nokia N series - then you'll love this too! It's a great phone, perhaps a little chunky but with a great camera and 8GB of memory, who cares!

More on the Samsung i8510

The Samsung i8510 is the consummate mobile multimedia device, providing technology enthusiasts with a host of excellent features. Often know by its other title the Innov8, it is cutting-edge enough to more than live up to its name.

With its array of imaging functions, the handset underscores Samsung’s supremacy in the camera phone market, which is highlighted by it having launched the first ever five megapixel phone in 2004 and it unveiling a ten megapixel camera in the Korean market in 2006.

The phone runs on Symbian 9.3 with the Nokia Series 60 user interface, which means that anyone familiar with Nokia’s Nseries handsets will instantly feel at home with Samsung i8510.

A 3.5mm headphone hack is provided, so that owners can listen to their favourite tunes through high-quality stereo headphones.

The inclusion of Google Maps and A-GPS satellite navigation means that you’d do well to get lost with this phone in your hand. Meanwhile, the GPS also offers geo-tagging of photographs you have captured with the camera.

Owners are able to use the Samsung i8510 all over the world, due to its quad-band compatibility. Talktime is five hours for 3G, or 8.5 hours for 2G. When in standby mode, this is 310 hours for 3G and 330 hours for 2G.
