Advantages: Slim, good features

Disadvantages: Battery life not great and volume on speaker could be louder

I purchased two Nokia 6500 Classic phone for me and my wife to use. The phone works well, has excellent features, good sound quality and a very good screen. My wife loves hers however i sometimes find the buttons a little fiddley to us but i do have big fingers.

I wanted the slimmest, lightest phone I could get but didn't want to pay the earth. Originally I wanted flip-style or slide phone because i feel they can be more comfortable to use for long conversations; but these all tended to be too thick. I just wanted a good phone i dont make that much use of the featues, but they are easy to use. There are many to choose from but i find Nokia's screen menus easy to follow. I do find the volume a problem when listening to calls even when set on full and feel it be louder more of a problem for me than my wife as i work outdoors alot. The battery life could also be better.
All in all a good alround phone

Summary: Good general phone
