I have just noticed recently that the C510 seems to be now under Clearence @ Phones4U & also does not now feature anymore as a main bargain pay as you go phone @ CPWH. What I am wondering is are discontiuing this phone already? Its only been out less than a year & been selling pretty well so its strange that it features as clearence already. Does anyone know? Just thought it a little odd as its not old & its a stable model & sold well

I think that is the case over there. The c510 is having a good time here in DR. It's selling well and there are plenty of it on orange.

Don't forget that Clearance units at Carphone Warehouse are refurb's which is why they're sold at 2 low price.

Oh right. I misread your post. CPW do still stock the phone. Tesco also stock it as well still. Around 79.99 IIRC
I tried sniffing coke once but didnt like it. The bubbles kept going up my nose

Maybe a replacement soon?
Or maybe a candybar 8MP camera phone that will drop the C901's price to the price level of C510?
Just guessing

My guess is that it's going to be phased out soon. My feelings bout the c510 are mixed because while I know many people here have had a good experience with it - the one I got my wife was a lemon. 2 visits to the SE shop in 3 months, sound kept disappearing, frequent slowdowns while browsing & occasional restarts. The last straw was that the technician in the shop accused her of tampering with the phone because the seal in the back was corroded away by something (she's much more careful with her phones than I am).

I ended up buying her a Nokia E52 (a very good phone btw) because it was such a bad experience for her - I've been a loyal SE fan for many years but the service at that particular shop was terrible. Will be a lot more skeptical about SE's midrange phones for now.

I found the phone to be quite reliable even early on with hardly any problems compared to some phones. Problems I had were terrible terrible signal one of the worst I ever had, very muffled call quality & sometimes a strange 4 split screen. Never had any restarts. Camera was poor in low light. Clearence means end of the line a phone thats last stock
