12 Dec 2007 - Nokia 6500 Slide
A couple of weeks with the new 6500 Slide, this certainly is a nice phone.

If you are a slide phone user, this is a mid-sized version.

The E65 Nokia is the slimline - the 6280 and others are the large size.

On the BOX this LOOKS big - but take it out and hold it in your hand and you realise this is actually quite a good sized device.

Rather than try and test it myself, I handed the phone over to someone I thought fitted the demographic target for the phone.

Here's her review!

"Review by Technically Challenged User"

THE GOOD
  • Love the finish on the phone and it feels nice and solid.  Normally I prefer a slimmer phone but this one feels very compact
  • Took a while for my poor brain to figure out how to get the back off first time ‘round, but it’s a cinch once you know
  • Camera rocks – with a flash! Never had that before, great options: portrait mode, photos + video
  • Battery lasts for ages
  • Great reception and sound
THE BAD
  • Changing to predictive text and back via menus is a bit too fiddly
  • Phone can only be locked from the main menu

THE VERY GOOD
  • It’s currently No 2 on the People’s Choice List at Vodafone

OVERALL
Very easy to use, easy set-up and menu navigation.  Specially compared to my old phone, but my old phone is OLD.

Love the phone 9.4/10.


So, there you go - certainly a great looking phone, and a good upgrade option if you are in the market.
