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 ...
