Nokia 6500 slide

NOKIA --------- Nokia is a multinational telecommunications company. The business was born in Finland in the 1960's and is now a worldwide manufacturer of mobile phones. Most people remember the old classic Nokia 3210, quite heavy with its redeeming feature being snake. Since then Nokia has come a long way and I've had several Nokia phones in my time: the good old 3210, a 6210 which was originally intended for business and had a huge memory, a cute 6233 with a 2megapixel camera along with many other features, and finally a 6500 slide. WHY/HOW I GOT IT -------------------------- A couple of years ago a company called 'future phones' ...  Read the complete review

The Nokia 6500 slide is a phone with some excellent pros but some significant cons as well. I'll start with the good though and to be honest the good is great. The phone looks fantastic with it's sleek metallic finish and is incredibly durable to bumps and drops. The screen is large and very clear which is a big advantage when a phone has a camera that is so good. I would say the camera is quite possibly the best I have seen on a phone which is 5MP or less. This could be down to having a Carl Zeiss lens which is outstanding in terms of the variety the camera can provide. The MP3 features and other audio are also a particular asset to the phone. The only downside to the ...  Read the complete review

Ok, well my contact with Orange was up for renewal this month, and I had my heart set on the Samsung Tocco Ultra, but I then found out I had to pay £100 for it, and seeing as I tend to break phones quite easily, I thought better of spending that much money on a phone when I am paying £30 a month for my contract!!! So after much looking I found this phone, I don't like touch screens as I cannot type in text mode on them, and as thats what I use my mobile phone for the most. And this phone was the only one which fitted the bill which I wouldn't have to pay a fortune for!! I wasn't too happy about having to have it, but it was better than the one I had which was ...  Read the complete review

Orange sent me this phone 6 months ago in order to replace my previous Samsung phone which had driven me crazy with it's over sensitive key functions. This phone is an absolute dream in comparison! The menus are easy to navigate and it helps that you can chose to have the list menu or the icon map-style menu, meaning there's bound to be one you get on with! The screen is just the right size, and the keys aren't too big, nor too small. I have had a few minor problems, such as the phone randomly switching itself off, and the menu/scroll keys on the front of the phone failing to work despite supposedly being 'unlocked', however these malfunctions ...  Read the complete review
