Hi all

Well, i have the phone for a week now, and i have encountered NO problems at all, everything is working fine, no freezes, no hang ups, and not a single scratch on the keypad as some users say...

The phone is really solid, the slide mechanism is excellent, nothing is loose in it. The speaker is definitely louder than the Nokia 5610, i tried them both at the same time, and you can achieve the clarity in 6500 by adjusting the equalizer just below the maximum...

Wonderful screen, excellent colors, it might not have the best camera but still good enough for capturing very good images. The video recording with 640x480 resolution is very good, smooth enough with 15fps, and as Nokia posted in their website, you can have a 30fps with a lower resolutions.

I love this phone, and i really recommend it, just make sure you have the latest firmware (4.81) and everything will go as you wish.

Thank you.

    well, each one of us having the same handset has a diff. opinion. In my case 2gb make it a bit slower,but it's ok for me....my friends seem to be very happy with their 4gb.On the other hand in some forums they say 4gb "collapse" the 6500 slider.
    I'm afraid I can't be more especific.Thanks for your "thanks" ;)

        amethyst , thank you for your reply .. could you be kind enough to inquire with your friend whether the handset goes a bit slow with a "4gb microsdhc" card and which mc brand does he use ?
        Appreciate your kind reply.

          both 5610 and 6500 slide accept up to 4gb cards, I use 2gb but my friends use 4gb.You are welcome. But could you try and read posts of 6500 slider and 5610 before repeating the same question again?, thank you. Also, you can check nokia website for more detail

                Dr Ew ,
                like the person below stated , the 5610 which i tried out for a while at the local store truly has a much louder loudspeaker... i would say it's like my n73 music edition.nothing mindblowing ... but louder than my 6500 slide.
                Though I'd choose the 6500 slide anytime over the 5610 in terms of looks and materials used in the build.
                Though I hear the 5610 has a great battery and a better 3.2 Camera... the 6500 comes with a lousy battery and the 3.2 carl zeiss is'nt the best 3.2 camera phone out there.
                I'd say THE slide. but then it's yer money :)

                  I used to have a 5610, excellent music mobile!!! but sold it because the slider under the screen could became loose with time and I usually wear the mobile in my pocket.teh 6500 slider is more solid and resistant I think.
                  But the keypad I really miss , both music quality and keypad.

                                    I ahve recently purchased the nokia 6500 slide. Very impressed. In response to the person who said when they were listening to music and they got a message and the phone "Hung" my phone stops the music for a short period of time, approx 0.5 seconds, and then continues to play the song. Perhaps update the software or get a replacement phone.

                                    In regards to the camera question. What is wrong with the camera? the defualt camera view is landscape so you push the camera button down until it focuses, if it focuses correctly the box will go green, if it focuses incorrectly, it will go red. You may have to focus again if it goes red. Then push the botton all of the way down and the picture will be taken. Easy.

                                    If you are reffering to the video call camera, you must be ringing someone with video call enabled and you may have to sign up to something. Im not quite sure how to operate the video call camera.

                                    Hope this helped.

                                      Hi, Can anyone help me with a faulty camera on my 6500 slide, all i get is a black screen for about 15seconds and then the camera goes into standby and if i press continue i get the black screen again and the cycle continues. Other than this issue the 6500 is a good phone in my opinion.
