...like. I had seen the Nokia 6500 Classic on a few websites and quite liked the look of it so asked for it. They were able to give me the phone I wanted which was great and I haven't been disappointed. When I look for a phone I want something that is simple to use and attractive at the same time. I have had slide phones and flip phones before and although they are quite attractive and small as well I found that I actually preferred just a straightforward ... ...the reasons that I like Nokia so much. They do have their more complex phones but they also do basic phones for people who just want a simple gadget. Once you have got the hang of moving around it is quite easy to use. I find that different phones can have the same button that does something different so it can take you a while to get used to it. As I said earlier the phone has a largish screen that you can amend to have a different background. This ...

Advantages: Nice looking and light weight.. Disadvantages: Poor battery life and technical problems
...good and as its a Nokia is incredibly easy to use - the layout is quite similar to many of their newer models. You cant fault the look of the phone at all allthough i should imagine the plastic could be quite easy to scratch if you werent careful with it. It doesnt have any unnecessary buttons along its side like some phones so you dont find yourself doing anything you shouldnt be! It comes with the usual nokia classic snake game and also suduko ... ...internet though it is not included in the contract and so I am yet to see how it works.
The Cons: Although this phone looks amazing it does have some hefty downsides; The battery life is awful even though a lot of the time i dont even use the features such as the camera which you would presume would make it run out. The speaker seems to be a bit tempremental which is a problem I have heard it quite common with this handset - sometimes it can be ...

...well as fashionable. The standard nokia menu is updated with a screen background that allows you to make notes to yourself visible in the background, the option of a calendar, music player displaying what you're listening to as well as a quick menu bar with shortcuts customisable to the internet, messages or whatever you wish.
With only one port for usb-pc cable, phone to charger or hands free kit there are both pros and cons. The main one being ... ...Usability-wise: This phone uses standard nokia menus and buttons, only the severely technophobic will not be able to use this. Even text messaging using multimedia and attatchments is made easy, with the options of adding photos or media places under the text box whilst writing a message. The LCD screen is good, but not amazing. As is the camera. Those of you looking for a higher quality camera but the same looks/features would be more suited to ...

Advantages: functions, appearance Disadvantages: screen, battery and charging problems
This is the fifth Nokia phone I have purchased and I have to say it is the worse. In the last few years I feel the quality of Nokia Mobile Phones has decreased and I have experienced many problems with my last two phones.
I bought this phone because I thought it would be easy to use and it is. The design and functutions of the phone are good and it easy to make call and sent texts as well as more complicated operations such as take photos and access ... ...charged at least £50 each time.
This is a good phone for functions and appearance but due to the problems I have had with it, and I have friends with the same phone and similar problems, I would not recommend it and I wont be buying another Nokia phone. ...

...got on really well with Nokia phones before and so was estatic to be given this as for simplicity Nokia's are always easy to use. As always with all my other Nokia's it is simple and easy to do great coloured screen and lots to do, however, the camera is of very poor quality although I am aware it is of only 2 megapixels any photo I have taken is awful.
I thought that having a slim phone would be excellent as it would fit well into my pocket and ... ...it consistently falls out of my pockets and has many scrapes and scratches all over it now but it is light-weight.
Reception quality is varied even in my room at home that usually has high reception I can go from full bars to none by taking two steps.
The battery life is reasonable lasting probably a maximum of 6 days although that is if you don't use your phone that much.
I believe you can buy this phone on pay-as-you go and contract and am not ...

Haven't yet used the music player, but from the look of it , it seems fairly straight forward, you get all the gubbins in the box, earphones, usb cables,etc

Advantages: stylish, compact, easy to navigate Disadvantages: fragile design, limited battery size, poor camera
I was hugely excited when my 6500 arrived, and in all honesty, this lasted a fair while - this is a great phone on the looks front and certainly turns heads with its sleek styling. The sound quality is great and for people who have used Nokias before, as well as novices, the phone's sytems are easy to use. If you are after looks and style and you use your phone as an occasionally useful tool, then go ahead...
However, I quickly fell out of love ... ...I thought it would (based on previous experience) and I started to realise its limitations. The problem is this phone is all about style rather than substance - many features suffer from its size, such as the low quality camera (admittedly admirable for the size of the phone itself, but the pictures are blue and grainy). My 6500 then began to cut out mid-call, and then progressed into fits of indecision where it would ring, freeze, flash, ring for ...

Advantages: Slim, lightweight, looks good. Disadvantages: Texting can be difficult until you are used to it.
...shop I opted for the Nokia 6500 Classic black model.
This phone is sleek, lightweight and comfortable to use.
It has all the usual phone features but one thing it does not have is wi fi capability.
This phone contains 1 gig of internal memory which I find enough for me and it also saves me money as I don't have to go out and buy a memory card for it.
You can use the internet on this phone as it has GPRS but you need to pay for this service.
... ...with the aid of the Nokia Audio Manager application which is part of Nokia PC Suite and comes along with the phone.
There is a voice recorder, an alarm clock, calendar, notes, to-do list, calculator, countdown timer, stopwatch.
Lots of features which I have no need for, but there will be someone who finds them useful.
There are games on this phone, although personally I find them boring. You could download new games but again, this would cost ...

I do like the 6500 Classic. It's a very beautiful phone and lovely to use, apart from the small keypad. It isn't all-singing and all-dancing, but that's not necessarily a bad thing. ...

This is without doubt one of the very best phones I have ever had. Its slim size and robust build quality add to its aesthetic appeal. It only has a 2mp camera but that doesn't matter to much if you don't use your phone as your main camera. With a bright clear screen and a well thought out menu system it is also a pleasure to use. The built in memory is 1Gb which is plenty for normal phone use. You can fit a few albums and videos in there. I have ...

Advantages: Very slick and thin...just plain gorgeous, good memory capacity Disadvantages: Overheates, runs out of battery quickly,
To star with, I want to say I don't personally own this phone but my girlfriend does, and I usually hear nothing but complaints. So here goes.
To begin with, this is a beautiful phone. Stunning in my girlfriends words. I cannot emphasise this enough. Its fully metalic and it very sleek and cool (temperature wise). it is also very thin, which looks nice but makesme feel like it could easily be snapped.
Here comes the first problem though. I don't ... ...gets ridiculously hot during calls. Burn hot! I have used it once for ten minutes and had to hang up so that I would still have skin left on my hand/ear.
Sometimes it also starts to act up, not allowing the user to access texts and such, which can be a pain. This is with the latest firmware as well.
Now for a good thing. the memory, it comes with 1Gig built in flash memory, which should be enough for most. It can hold a couple of pictures, loads ...

Had this phone 2 months and am very impressed. Its light weight, with a nice big screen. Good sound + pictures are great on the large screen. The battery doesnt last overly long but with heavy texting (!!!!) use i don't mind having to charge it about every 3 days. I find that satisfactory.

Quick review of Nokia 6500 classic
A typical nokia phone with everything you need in a phone. The main problem, as with all phones, is the battery life. It cannot last more than 3 days (with general usage), so be warned! The low battery indictor is also very deceiving. Once it's low battery, expect the worse. In summary, a classic (how ironic) looking phone, that's thin and looks tht part, very easy to use, but not very good battery. ...
