Smile Shutter is just a fancy way of saying smile detection, but then given that this is SonyEricssons most affordable Cyber-shot phone to date, I aint complainin. As with other cyber shot phones, the C510 emphasises on the camera.

DialaPhone expects the handset to go on sale in February 2009. They also remind us about the popularity of the cyber shot brand name. Sony Ericsson has managed to tally up an impressive 32 million handsets under this name so far. The C510 is certainly going to play a big role in ratcheting up the total a lot more.
