Compare Prices : Nokia 6500 Slide - Expert Reviews

Review summary: 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...

Pros: 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 ...

Cons: 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

Pros: Looks and feels great, and it's easy to use

Cons: It took us a while to work out how to remove the rear battery casing (there's a release button on top)

Cons: Relatively heavy and not slim, Limited controls on camera, Not a smartphone

Pros: Sharp shooting; Music player

Cons: Micro USB charger

Verdict: Great snapper with more features to boot

Review summary: At the very end of May, Nokia unleashed two new handsets, ushering in the new 6500-series. However the 6500 Classic and the 6500 Slide are brothers in arms only from the technical point of view â€" while sharing the index, in reality and in Nokia’s ...
