Feature wise, it is not one of the extravagant models. But it will suffice the need of a functional phone.

If design may be considered the main factor for your choice of a phone, Nokia 6500 is a very good choice. The steel panel may be heavy for some, but this has cool sensation which underlies the feel of luxury and style without depriving the cutting ...

Nokia 6500 slide was announced together with its slim sibling Nokia 6500 classic, but is far more than just an attempt to diversify the supply beyond the traditional bar form factor. Both handsets drive on solid style, but the stainless steel slider...

3.2 megapixel autofocus camera with Carl Zeiss optics and flash ; Great 2.2" 16M-color QVGA display ; Snappy user interface ; FM radio with RDS ; 3G network support ; Rich preloaded content ; Bluetooth with A2DP support ; Stainless steel case ; TV out ...

Sliding mechanism no masterpiece ; VGA video at 15fps recorded in 3gp format ; Camera lens unprotected ; The card slot is under the battery cover ; charger and USB connectors on top

It's more than logical to expect that both 6500 devices share a lot in terms of interface and basic functionality. And then, quite obviously, the slim 6500 classic just can't afford to accommodate as many goodies as its slider sibling. Much like the ...

In Nokia 6500 slide we notice a combination, on the one hand, of the 8600 Luna sensation with a very good camera, on the other, but at a lower price. Special attention has been paid to every ......

Very good display with a light sensor, Reliable and tight slide mechanism, 3.2 megapixel camera with Carl Zeiss optics, Quad band GSM 850/900/1800/1900 MHz and dual band UMTS 850/2100 MHz

Volume key is hard to find and difficult to press

The overall impression is that working with the slider is easy and trouble-free; it is also sufficiently fast not to induce irritating slow-downs or messages of the “please wait” sort. During the whole period of our testing and overloading with tasks, ...

While it hasn't proven itself to be perfect, the Nokia 6500 Slide has a good overall feature set in a good looking slider form package. We put this quad-band GSM, dual-band UMTS phone through its paces in this hands-on review.

Great looks, good call audio, solid music player features

Dropped calls, difficult camera AF, a bit heavy

The Nokia 6500 comes in two distinct form factors - one which slides and one which is labeled "classic." As you may be able to guess from the names, the slide version features a slider mechanism for a more compact (but heavier) size while the classic ...

Two models to choose from gives consumers the ability to choose the features they want ; Lots of capabilities on the slider version ; Decent battery life ; Best LCD in the business ; Small form factor ; 3G capability

Classic version may be too crippled ; No Wi-Fi

The Nokia 6500 is a good phone - but not necessarily a great phone. Sure, it has a lot of features and an LCD screen that all of the other phones need to incorporate, but after that there really is not much there. It is almost as though it tries to do ...

Nokia 6500 slide is impressive to look at. The design is very minimal yet it shows elegance and appeal, particularly the metal casing pumped up with black glossy plastic on top and at the bottom. Inscriptions of all labels eliminates the cheap looks

The Nokia 6500 Slide is a phone packed with features. It's a sturdy handset and has a good music player and the supplied earphones produce good sound quality. The phone is 3G and it has twin cameras for video calling, plus you can also hook it up to ...

Good music player ; TV output ; decent camera

Bulky and heavy ; screen could be brighter

It's a shame the design is so chunky, but the Nokia 6500 Slide still has plenty to offer thanks to its clever TV output, good camera and impressive music player
