Nokia 6500 Slide > Reviews

Advantages: easy and simple to use
Disadvantages: fairly short battery life

...dubious, after all my previous nokia had been awful. However i felt this phone would be different as oon as i took it out of its box!!! I love this phone, it has a sleek neat and sophisticated design, which makes it easy to use. The buttons are of a decent size and i have not had any response problems with the buttons either. The phone is lightweight, and the metal case means that if you are accident prone like me then if you drop it it won't ... Read review

Advantages: Looks good, easy to use
Disadvantages: None Really

...deliberation I decided on the Nokia 6500 slide in black. I could have got the silver phone at a much cheaper price but I decided that the black one looked too good to turn down. First Impressions If you look at the phone from a top down view you will see that the screen is quite big. Infact it is 2.2 inches which is fairly big. Below the screen are four buttons as well as 4 directional buttons in silver. The bottom two buttons are the main calling ... Read review

Advantages: Easy to use interface, good quality camera, music player
Disadvantages: Not enough memory, camera not great in low light

...have just upgraded to the Nokia 6500 after a year using a Sony Erricson, and have to say I am glad to be back with a Nokia. The interface is so easy to use, with a very clear menu and easy to use text message input. Starting with the look of the phone, the design is very sleek and I particulary like the polished metal on the exterior and the minimislist design. The phone has a good sized screen with a very clear display and is quite thin. The ... Read review

Advantages: Stylish, well built - good quality, easy to use
Disadvantages: Few errors, sometimes crashes.

I got this phone as an upgrade on my O2 contract from the 6300, initially when comparing, I felt the 6500 slide was quite large and heavy but after a month I feel I can comment more appropriately on all of it's features. LOOK & FEEL The phone generally looks quite stylish. I own the fully black model which I feel gives it quite a modern look, I have found quite a few people noticing the phone and questioning me on what model it is etc. At ... Read review

Advantages: looks, connectivity, music player
Disadvantages: a bit heavy, the camera cand do better

...interface is as friendly as Nokia can get. Connectivity I have tested it for bluetooth and it worked fine. I connected the Slide with my laptop, with another phone and with a pair of Nokia wireless headphones. All connections were seamless, except for reconnecting the headphones for a second time - I had to pair the phone with the headphones all over again to make it work. I also hooked it up to my computer via it's USB port to download music ... Read review

Advantages: Wide array of featues, good build quality, overall friendly interface, excellent call clarity.
Disadvantages: Battery life could be better, some features not implemented as well as possible.

...having owned a rather uneventful Nokia 6100 for many years. I was pleased by the variety of features available, particularly those that I'd been missing out on such as a camera, music player, bluetooth, among others. The design is very satisfying and the slide mechanism seems vastly improved over many previous Nokia efforts. The camera and video recorders perform well and the clarity when making phonecalls is thoroughly impressive when compared ... Read review

Advantages: Great sleek design, Good speaker quality, Great camera!
Disadvantages: Pc suite only for PC, rubbish headphone jack set up.

...not, there is also the Nokia 6500 Classic which is (I assume) the same phone but without the slide design. When I read the phone was 3.2 megapixels, I couldn't believe it. It turns out this is the new standard for phones. I guess I have been a little bit behind in phone technology recently. The camera is really great though. It has an LED flash, with two LEDs I believe. It looks as good as a digital camera to me, it's perfect for what I need (taking ... Read review

Advantages: String slider mechanism
Disadvantages: Occasionally unresponsive keys and scratches on keypad

...by your ear than the Nokia 6500 Slide is for you. The phone's clean cut lines, sharper edges and stainless steel body has had many comments from people about how nice the device looks. LOOK & FEEL As mentioned just above, the phoene looks and feels really nice in your hands. The Stainless steel backing takes a couple of days before it stops fingerprinting so there is no major issue there. That was one of my major concerns but luckily, no ... Read review

Advantages: Cute, sleek and easy to use
Disadvantages: Very bad battery life; constant recharging

I just got the nokia 6500 slide phone a week ago at phones4u. To be honest I normally loooove Soni Ericson phones so I wouldn't normally go for anything else. However the Nokia 6500s sleek chunky cute design caught my attention and I was hooked! This phone is adorable, its a bit chunky compared to the contemporary flat phones that have become the fashion, but I like chunky because it means I won't loose the phone and I can easily find it amongst ...

Advantages: stylish, easy to use and durable
Disadvantages: quite heavy to carry

The 6500 slide is a brillliant phone in my opinion I upgraded from samsung d900 last year and compared with that phone its alot better. The design of this phone is very sleek and durable. The phone is equipped with 3.2 mega pixel camera which takes a good quality picture and equally good quality videos. The phone has a built in mp3 player and FM radio. The sound quality is good on the phones . The phone has a very good battery life. The phone has ... Read review

Advantages: stylish look, good size and loads of features
Disadvantages: poor battery life

...though is the battery life, Nokia phones of old used to run for days and days, but this phone, especially if you're using the mp3 player, the battery would need charging once every 2 or 3 days. ... Read review

Advantages: Clever design, easy to use and amazing quality.
Disadvantages: nothing really apart from video call coverage which can easily be sorted out.

I got this phone about a month ago, and so far there have been no troubles which i suppose is good. I got it for £209 from carphone warehouse and even though it sounds expensive, for me its well worth the money. The camera is better than some digital camras on the market, and until you actually take a picture you cant imagine the amazing quality that it has, and the zoom is also really good quality close up. So far i have only found one bad thing, ... Read review
