However, although an attractive handset, it undoubtedly resembles the Nokia 8310, which is, the same size and also features FM radio, GPRS and high-speed Internet access. However this new model does include a personal ‘wallet’ where users can store personal pin numbers, bank details etc. for use when shopping on the Internet. There’s also the option to store a WIM – a wireless identity module, or a digital signature allowing you to sign for goods or services ‘on-line’.

Music lovers can listen to hours of continuous radio transmission on the 6510.

Although this handset does not have Bluetooth, this will not stop the user connecting to other devices using its infrared communications port. It doesn’t feature a separate e-mail facility but the up-to-date WAP 1.2.1.browser will memorise up to 25 bookmarks.

Other features of the 6510 include a phonebook capable of storing 500 contacts, a sizeable calendar, to-do list, facility to store 150 SMS messages, built-in voice recorder, clock, alarm, stopwatch, currency converter, vibrating alert and the familiar four Nokia games.
