The BlackBerry RIM 6510 is a very old model dating back to 2002. It is, in essence, nothing like the BlackBerry phones of today thanks to massive advancements in technology. Ultimately, the BlackBerry RIM 6510 was a good device at the time, but it is not recommended as anything more than a cheap PDA today.The BlackBerry RIM 6510 runs on the iDen network, formerly available from Sprint at the time of this phone’s release. It uses the same network for both voice and data.
The pseudo-QWERTY keyboard of the Blackberry is very easy to use. I am happy to say goodbye to the stylus and the various error-prone “graffiti” systems. A track wheel and select button are intuitively placed to allow fast navigation of screen menus. I don’t miss the touch screens one bit. RIM solved the interface problem. Unfortunately they missed some key features. Although accepting an incoming phone call is easy, the function of making a call on the cell phone is several clicks away. After you roll to the phone icon and get to the dialer, the number keys are just a few of the other keys on the face. Not so much of an issue at the desk, but a HUGE issue if you are in the car. This is absolutely not a hands free system and you will regret it if you ditch your cell phone. Recommended solution: Voice Cell phone Activation (or single button cell phone activation) and Voice Dial similar to Sprint-PCS voice dial system.
The BlackBerry RIM 6510 featured a large (at the time) black and white screen that was capable of displaying eight to twelve lines of text at a time. Despite its large size, the resolution was poor, and only recommended for business applications.Other features found on the BlackBerry RIM 6510 include a highly capable web browser, USB connectivity to a computer, a large phone book, alarm, and a calendar.
