Nokia 6500 slide review: Slide over slim

17 December 2007
Nokia 6500 slide was announced together with its slim sibling Nokia 6500 classic, but is far more than just an attempt to diversify the supply beyond the traditional bar form factor. Both handsets drive on solid style, but the stainless steel slider...

            I have had the Nokia 6500 for over a year now. I have had it repaired 3 times already as it is rubbish and should have been recalled! there are so many problems with this phone it is not funny.. just to name a few!

            1, it freezes all the time!
            2, switches off by its self!
            3, changes all settings back to default including ring tones and wallpapers by its self,
            4, it will not read my memory card ( i brought a new one thinking it was that) its the phone!!!!
            5, my screen goes blank all the time,(and yes the phone is fully charged.

            and last the battery will only last a day before needing to be charged, even if i make no calls, text or do not use the internet!

            thats just to name a few problems, there are many more.

            my partner has the same phone and has the exact same problems!

            I would not recommend this phone to anyone! i would rather go with out a phone before getting another Nokia 6500!

            Yes, this phone has some good features like the big screen, however, it has more problems than its worth.

            anyway this is my experience with this phone, anyone else had problems?

            cheers,

                              Help me, 19 Jan 2009How i use phone's flash, when i turn on flash in the dark . About your problem:
                              Check to see if you have "Night Mode" on or off (you should see a little crescent moon on the bottom of the veiwfinder screen). If you see this, turn "Night Mode" off, and the proceed to the "Flash menu", then choose Automatic or Flash On. On the veiwfinder screen, if you chose Automatic you will see a black lightning bolt with the letter "A" next to it, if you chose Flash On you will see a yellow lightning bolt. If you are still onsure, check your manual or find one from the Nokia website. Hope this helps!

                                  I currently am using the 6500s, I am quite happy with it, I do seem to have a little trouble veiwing it in sunlight, and I am experiencing a few troubles with the OS (keypad freezing on slide, music track not changing names, and slow response times in menu). The latter may be my fault since I enjoy my 900+MB of music *big smile*. But in any case, that's my opinion, great phone, a few OS faults, and I can't really see it very well in sunlight, otherwise a great phone (and one of the better phones I have used (6288, 6230i, 3310, 5110). I do enjoy using a phone encased in stainless steel!

                                      I got one of these last week as an insurance replacement for my SE W810i, which was lost or stolen. So far, I'm fairly happy with the phone and have had none of the problems that others are complaining about. I suspect I got a new revision though which solves the problem with the battery compartment sensor.

                                      However, had I paid full price for this phone ($700 New Zealand Dollars at the time of this writing) I would have been less than satisfied with it. It's not that there's anything particularly wrong it, I just don't feel there's enough to it to command such a high price. As it was, I only paid $150 for it - the insurance excess charge. Plus, the settlement covered a new crystal case, a new leather carrying case, a Nokia WH-700 stereo headset (I didn't like the packaged ones, plus they weren't comparable to the SE HPM-70's I lost) and a 2GB MicroSD card. Hell, after everything was purchased, I even had enough left over from the settlement to buy an extra 4GB MicroSD card!

                                      Maybe I should lose cell phones every other day! LOL :)
