Thread: Nokia 6500 Slide Mobile Phone

Nokia's 6500 has the best slider mechanism we've seen from any Nokia phone barring the Sirocco. Its outer body is built out of brushed steel, which exudes a quality feel. Needless to say the phone's heavy, although You'd be hard pressed to find better build quality. The keypad is well laid out, although the buttons are a little flat-we'd like a little more bevelling to impart feedback. The quality of accessories is as good as we've seen, and a TV out cable has been provided; just like the N95 8GB
and the N82-both much costlier phones.



The 2.2-inch screen features a high resolution of 240 x 320 pixels and has a rich 16 million colours. Camera and music playback quality are well above par, although not enough to sway a purchasing decision solely on their performance. GPS and WiFi are the only features that the 6500 Slide misses out on. Although it's built well, the look itself is unexciting, and may not inspire interest when compared to its beautiful siblings. Slide makes a good buy for someone looking for a feature-rich, usable and very sturdy cellphone. Expect too much in the way of sex appeal from it and you're going to be disappointed.
