Games as standard: Backgammon, Sky Diver, and Racket.
For the small price of a wap call you can get Mikis World (Mario like), Air Glide (waste of time) and bowling (cool)
It'll take Jpg's, BMP's and Gif's, but they have to be under 30k. Preferably a multiple of 96x65 to fit the screen nicely (I have the FHM Willow from Buffy pictures on mine
)
Exact picture used
No infrared port and 'friad not on the cable, the conenctions are on the other side (you can always rewire the cable if daring)
Good little phone, the battery has a standby time of 13 days!!!.
I fully charged it last tuesday night, made about 10 calls, sent around 20 txt's, played a few games on it, surfed wap for a little whil, never switched the phone off, and it's only just gone onto it's last power bar.
you can multimedia message on current PAYT schemes (comming soon), but you can on pay monthly schemes.
The polyphonic ringtones are just midi files Got loads to download. shame it has no composer, but then, 10p to download a tone via wap.
You can set pictures as the background wallpaper.
I love it, much better than my old 3310.
Have I covered everything?

Size wise, it's marginally longer but thinner, and a lot lighter.
I has a good calender mode (called organiser), you can add daily notes and reminders.
The profile thing is still there, where you can customise the time of the profile is activated.
I upload jpg's and mid files to webspace and put the url into the wap browser. it says it's found a file (or ringtone) and downloads it.
You can also download java applets to it, like etch-a-sketch (you have to see it).
If you ring a number to get a polyphonic ringtone to your phone, unlike the 3310/30's when they would send it as a message they send you a url you have to goto to download the tone.
I got lots of game files for them like pacman, arkanoid, bust-a-move, but they take a lot of work to get a download working.
Logomanager says it supports it but my mate hasn't got his working yet with a data cable.

You can get games from club nokia, and the Software Market (both which are included as bookmarks in the phone's wap links.)
Searching the web will find you others.
I have some links jotted down at home if needed (for ringtones as well), only cost the price of a wap call (usually 10p per minute on PAYT schemes, dunno about Pay monthy schemes)
Are you looking to buy the just phone or a new phone on a new contract?

I'm on vodafone.
They had a deal that if you buy a new payt phone from them they'll port all of your information from your existing sim to the new one (so basically you'll have 2 sims with the same number, but they disable connection on the old one).
If you have existing o2 phone then a new o2 phone will take the sim, always better to ask, they may do a deal becuase you're keeping with them (vodafone gave me £20 of calling credit).
The only thing my 3310 had that the 3510i doesn't is a composer, but:
a) there a java application you can get which is a rough composer.
b) ever tried to make a polyphonic ringtone?
Another thing, make sure it's the 3510i you're after, the 3510 has the standard green display, not colour like the 3510i. I think the 3510i is about £129-£149 on a PAYT scheme depending where you buy it.
Phones 4U advertise just the fone (no sim, so you can put your one in) on their website for £139, but in the shop the guy says it's £149 and they have to go by the price in the manual (£149), I argued some trading standards malarky about differing prices and he got a bit irate, so I went next door to vodafone, bought the fone for £149 (with £20 of calling credit), and walked back into the phones 4u shop, said to the guy "it's not the price that drove me to but next doore, and I've just spent the same money next door, it's the principle" and walked out

Also, if you like texting - it holds around 45 txt messages before the inbox gets full
That's a good month's worth for me
Funny ascii message however don't work as it displays 1 more line than the older nokia's, so the picture goes out of sync.

Pinkeye69 - I've just got a 3510 for the young 'un (not the colour version, btw) and was wondering how to get polyphonic tones on it. Is there a size limit for the midi files ? And where would I be able to bag some from ? I have some webspace I can up them to so that shouldn't be a problem.

Sorry, didn't see your post.
tones can be found here and here
browse trhe site on your pc to find tones you want, then type the url into the wap browser (it tells you what url to type what for tone) and go.
getting piccys is the same way.
Note that a wap browser is case sensitive. I found that out when I put pictures in a \WAP directory
I managed to download your piccy to my phone.

I had it where I went to the wap version of digidots.co.uk and tried to get a tone and it just kept displaying the menu again instead of downloading (didn't give an error). I found that clearing the cache on the phone (it's in the services menu somewher, and switching the fone off and on again cured it (much like windows )
Glad to be of help.
The other thing to note is AFAIK PAYT schemes do no support multimedia messaging at this time, do you cannot send/recieve new pictures/polyphonic ringtones from other phones (old picture messages and tones like the 3310 had are still ok I think).
Hopefully it'll be up and running soon once they've sorted out a price and upgraded the network.

if you go onto the nokia website, you can get them to send you a message which sets up the service (WAP). after thats done, just go to the service option, and either go to home, or type in the address of the page you want.
As you can tell I don't use it much, and so it might not make too much sense.

i can get into the wap bit.. i had to change the sevice O2 WapGSM instead of the O2 Wap GPRS setting.
Is that correct?????
whats GPRS anyway???
I'm still on my Genie £20 per month Tariff of FREE Unlimited Text and FREE unlimited WAP Net access, 100mins of anytime calls.
I've already down loaded the Bowling game!!
How does the FREE NET access effect me on this fone? just the same as the 3330 i had?

salsa - sounds like your sim aint gprs enabled - had the same bother. easily done by calling the network provider, or in the case of o2, mail them via the website.
gprs - only pay for the amount u download, not the connection time. dont suppose it matters if yer've got free wap...
btw, for a cool background, point yer wap browser at http://glorindar.dyndns.org/dan/swrt.jpg, download the pic and set as wallpaper....

cheers.. but FREE unlimited Wap.. from my £20 a month Genie account .. i can be on as long as i like
can't i???
this was why i waited till O2 allowed me to upgrade without having to change my tariff.
Even the guy on the fone when i called them said i'd be silly to swap to an other tariff cost.
whats the pic??

salsa - cool, looks better with a blue colour scheme tho
in theory, any valid url to a pic should work, but i just get 'page not found' when i try to use my freeserve space, hence usin my mates iis box.
lemme know if yer get any more cool ones. tricky if the background isnt white - cos when yer resize it to 96x64, yer always seem to get a white line on one side eg http://glorindar.dyndns.org/dan/myscoob.jpg
