Sony Ericsson may have announced their first 8.1-megapixel camera-phone recently, but the budget end of their CyberShot range has more humble optics. The Sony Ericsson C510 is a straightforward candybar aimed at the free-on-contract market; even so, there's still a fair amount of camera hyperbole. Digicam replacement or snappy pretender?
