Nokia 6500 slide

Advantages: Good mix of features including high end features like 3.2MP autofocus camera and TV-out
Disadvantages: No wifi, Slight overheating

...and bottom ends of the phone. Because of this implementation the phone is heavier than other phones of similar size. This material, however, looks nice and is very fashionable. There is also a black version available utilising blackened stainless steel. (Sound and Multimedia) This phone runs the standard Nokia multimedia programme, with most video and picture formats supported. Sound playback is of adequate standards with the included 2.5mm headphones. The phone supports microSD and the maximum size of cards available and recognised for the 6500s is currently 4Gb (It supports all microSDHC). (Internet and Messaging) The internet works well as it supports turbo 3G internet browsing. This allows speeds of upto 3Mbps when browsing - in reality it is around 1Mbps, which is reasonable. The browser is clear enough but there is no cursor built-in so...

Review of Nokia 6500 Slide

Slip 'n Slide 6500

Advantages: Great quality with all the latest features, generally awesome!
Disadvantages: Keys sometimes don't respond

...and offered an upgrade. After hearing about several phones I decided the 6500 slide was the best option for me. I embarked upon another 18-month contract of £28 a month (250 texts, 200 minutes). FIRST IMPRESSIONS When my new phone arrived the next day I was very impressed. The box was compact with everything I needed in it: phone (duh), charger, USB cable, memory card, instruction booklet, guarantee, computer installation CD, tv-out cable. The phone looks very sleek and although possibly not the most flash-looking on the market, it's certainly not ugly. It's just the right size (I hate tiny phones which looks like they'd disappear through the floorboards) and mine is black and silver so it looks nice. I had a little read of the manual while my phone charged for 3 hours and I turned it on. The friendly Nokia tune and an image of an adult...

Ring Ring Ring My Nokia 6500 Keeps Ringing

Advantages: Simple to use, looks nice
Disadvantages: If you are looking for advanced features this won't be for you.

...Well a few months ago my phone contract came up for renewal. I have been a customer of O2 for a long time and so I know that I can always get myself a good deal on a contract. I also wanted a new phone as part of the deal as my old phone was looking a bit old and scratched etc. I rang up O2 and managed to get myself a great deal as usual and they asked what new phone I would 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 phone...

Review of Nokia 6500 classic

Nokia 6500 Slide

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

...After recently getting rid of my old Orange contract and moving to O2 I decided to get a new phone as well. After much 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 buttons. The one on the bottom left is the green "call" button which is used to dial a number you've typed in or look at the recent call list. The one on the bottom right is the "end call" button which ends calls and, when in the menu, takes you back to the home screen...

Nokia 6500

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.

...would still recommend the Nokia 6500 to any buyer, particularly those who have been missing out on a number of newer features. The problems I have encountered may be mildly irritating at the time but they only slightly detract from an otherwise very good product....

Nokia 6500 Classic

Advantages: Slim, lightweight, looks good.
Disadvantages: Texting can be difficult until you are used to it.

...Upon my phone contract coming to an end, I decided that it was time for me to upgrade and treat myself to a new phone. My old one was 18 months old and rather tatty with a back held on by selotape and a battery that seemed to die every 5 minutes. Anyway, upon the advice of the guys in the 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. You can arrange your contacts into groups with different ring tones and group images. You can send...

Nokia 6500 Slide

Advantages: Looks, Camera, Feel
Disadvantages: Durability, Build

...After using my Nokia 6300 for around a year I decided to upgrade. I had the choice of a number of phones however opted to go for the Nokia 6500 Slide. I can see where some confusion can come from when it comes to the Nokia 6500: The Nokia 6500 Classic and Nokia 6500 Slide are two quite different phones. The classic came first and has a more traditional mobile phone layout and boasts a medicore 2.0MP camera. The slide on the other hand is the upgrade to the Classic and boasts an ultra sleek slide design with a pretty good 3.2MP camera with flash. It also comes with a front facing camera however unfortunately it can only be used while making 3G video calls and not just to take pictures. Although the phone looks very sleek and well built. I have had the phone for around a month and when I press the buttons it sometimes does not...

Review of Nokia 6500 Slide

Nokia 6500 Classic

Advantages: Sleek design & ease of use
Disadvantages: Poor Battery Life no video calling

...The 6500 Classic is Nokia's thinnest phone so far, and is a stunningly beautiful phone too. It's easy to use and does just what I want from a phone - make calls, take pictures and play music. Supplied with 1 Gbyte of memory and a stereo headset, it's already equipped to go. The only thing that is really missing from this 3G phone is video calling. The battery life isn't brilliant but is better than a lot of other similar phones. The small keypad can take a little time to get used to aswell. The 6500 Clasic is extremely sleek with its aluminium casing ("individually polished", according to the Nokia blurb) and is available in Black and Bronze. 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....

Review of Nokia 6500 Slide

Nokia 6500 Classic..

Advantages: Nice looking and light weight..
Disadvantages: Poor battery life and technical problems

...The Handset: The handset for this phone is very sleek - its about half a centimetre wide and holding it can take some getting used to if you have had an older model phone for a while as they are often wider. The key pad seems quite small at first but you quickly get used to it, I found on the first day that I kept pressing the wrong buttons but that soon stopped when I became accustomed to it. The design of the overall phone is attractive and makes a good unisex phone and being completly black it makes it look more hard wearing. The Pros: The phone is beautiful it looks really 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...
