      This phone is awesome. I've had it for barely a week and I love it. I live in Boston, MA and I use it on the AT@T network. I had a 3G Moto v3xx prior to this and the call quality was terrible. AT&T's 3G network is terrible. I had to hack my v3xx just to be able to turn 3G off. AT&T really scr3wed up by putting Voice on their 3G network, they should have done just data.

      Anyway back to this phone. It's small, sleek and sexy. The S40 op sys is great and I'm telling you unlocked GSM is the way to go.

      The phone does support US 3G at 850, but where I live there is no 850 3G, so the phone is basically a standard 850/1900 GSM phone. The call quality on this phone is better and there is no delay. For some reason I had a slight delay on my Moto v3xx, it was cr@p.

      I actually might get another one for a backup. I was originally going to get the nokia e51 for the gps and wifi, but the 6500 classic is thinner and looks better. That’s what I was going for. Did I mention the call quality was excellent? Unlocked GSM is the way to go.

        My wife waited long for this phone.

        Finally got it and the middle row of the keypad stopped working.
        Got back after repairs, the screen broke.
        The speaker is not clear and sound muffled.
        I've got a SE W880i - not a day's problem except the data cable which cannot connect my phone to the pc anymore - bad design - LOVE the USB connection of the Nokia

        Nice phone but sad to say - not happy
        NOKIA 6230i - Still Amazing Phone!!!

                        Sir,

                        Nokia 6500 classic is not so much audible through microphone.If you are calling to the man 'A' then he will not be hearing well because the voice is breaking through microphone where as the earpiece is good to accept the voice.Please opine for the improvement.Regards.

                            shah, 04 Oct 2008the charging port is different from other models of nokia a... moreUSB Charger? Get used to it. The "big ones", I mean the 5 companies ruling 80% of the market have made an agreement some months ago, that in 1,5 year of a time, they all will only come up with phones, where the chargers is mini USB made. This makes life much more easier, specially when you are out travelling. There will be no longer things like SE / LG / Motorola, or Nokia (etc) charger. Just a "charger". You may hate it now, but will love it in 2 years.

                            On the other hand, I am not happy for that. One single connector in the car for a charger and for the head set. Or the data cable. Many people still prefer wired head-sets for saving battery and have a stereo output (personally I have way too many chargers (including manual feed versions) and a Nokia BH902 and a BH501, but at least I am, so I am never left without power, but have a back-pack of 3 kgs. But not every one is such a geek as I am

                                    using this phone for about a year,,
                                    buy it because my stupid o2 broken for thousand times ..
                                    I use it as my secondary phone right now

                                    good phone with nice looking design,,
                                    some nice standard nokia features,,
                                    but also there are some weaknesses,

                                    first is the battery life that makes me sick since i have to charge it each night,, but maybe this because i compare it to other phone in my house which has much better batt life (iPhone and P1i)

                                    second i reckon that the cam is not very good,, it can zoom and do other things but the picture is not even close to what my iPhone with 1.3 megpx takes,,, it is just not clear with some dots on the pics, but i don't use it much so i don't care bout it.

                                    third is the keypad,, not comfy when you texting,, i don't know whether it just me since i feel comfy with apple's virtual keyboard, which makes me type faster using iPhone rather than using 6500,,
                                    but i think the keypad is juz too hard..

                                    overall good phone the 1 gig mem (If i'm not forgotten) is enough for a secondary phone, or if u really want to buy this phone and want to have music player better to buy another cheap mp3 player since 1 gig won't be enough for u i think..

                                    but overall to find a good looking phone with moderate features this phone is a good choice, just remember to charge it everyday though ..
