Sprint added a new multimedia cell phone to its lineup today, with the Samsung SPH-M510. Available in pink or black, the compact clamshell phone may look a bit simple but it packs a broad range of features. Inside you'll find a 1.3-megapixel camera, a music player with Sprint Music Store access, stereo Bluetooth, streaming video, text and multimedia messaging, and a wireless Web browser. You can get it for $129 with service on Sprint.com.

Overall, Not a Bad Phone

The m510 is okay. It's nice and light, so you're not weighing down your pocket or handbag with one of those brick-like pieces of equipment.

For those of us whose eyesight might not be the best, the numbers are clear, the text that comes in is nice and readable, the numbers on the keypad are big enough not to miss, and the display is nice and simple, not a lot of unnecessary glitz.

I just wish instructions on how to transfer files between your computer and the mini SDRam that came with the phone were included in the instruction manual! Anyone got any clues? Remember...I'm a lady of distinguished vintage...not exactly old but I'm no spring chicken, either!
