Nokia 6500 Slide phone has been released and is designed to be precisely balanced in the hand, with large keys and ergonomically correct dimensions and surfaces, the Nokia 6500 slide phone has been created with maximum usability in mind. Along with third generation WCDMA technology and sleek, a contemporary design, this new device features carefully engineered touches that helps to ensure that the beauty endures.
The Nokia 6500 delivers a refined tactile experience with its elegant brushed stainless steel finish and smooth slide mechanism. It has a light sensor and a small camera situated on the front next to the earpiece, with the main camera and flash module on the rear. The speaker is also located at the rear, towards the bottom of the handset. Looking and holding the handset, you can feel that it’s the perfect size.
At only 89g (3.1oz) in weight and measuring 110mm x 45mm x 10mm (4.3″ 1.8″ x .4″) in size, the Nokia 6500 Classic is quite a compact little candy bar handset. The Classic’s design, reserved and elegant, makes use of simple lines and curved surfaces. The 6500 Classic’s 16 million color display may only be 2″ in size, but its QVGA resolution makes for some very sharp looking images. The display is also brighter than that found on the 6500 Slide, and is also quite readable even in harsh sunlight conditions.
The slide has a 2.2” QVGA screen with a resolution of 240×320 and supports 16.7 million colors. Featuring an enthusiast-quality 3.2 megapixel camera with Carl Zeiss optics and the ability to easily share pictures, videos and even video calls on a television, the Nokia 6500 slide brings unsurpassed levels of imaging and sharing to the mid-range market.
The 6500 slide is one of the first nokia phones to come with S40v5. The differences between this and previous versions of the S40 operating system are minimal. The main differences from this phone and the 6300 are that the message editor now has an extra bar at the bottom. This allows you to insert pictures, videos, contacts etc directly into the message.
The media player has been changed with better support for playlists, along with new skins and now when you receive a message the picture of the sender will also show if you have a picture saved for the contact. Overall it’s pretty much the same old S40 interface which we all know and love.
Nokia has designed its 6500 Slide with a 64 chords ringtones engine, ready for you to add tons of ringers. If you want a customizable phone you will appreciate to know that the 6500 Slide supports custom themes.
The gaming system included in the Nokia 6500 Slide runs on J2ME, providing cool little games. Not surprisingly, being a standard in the industry, the 6500 Slide supports both SMS and EMS.
The phone is equipped with a 900 mAh Li-Ion battery which lets you talk for about 6.00 hours and gives in standby 320 hours. Its creators incorporated a 20.0 MB memory, a good quantity for a regular use. An attractive option of the Nokia 6500 Slide is the speaker phone, being a useful tool anywhere.
