Very good

View score

The good: Chic design; solid feel; dualband 3G; Bluetooth stereo A2DP; 1GB onboard memory.

The bad: Single micro-USB connector prevents multitasking; not autofocus camera; video calls not possible even with main camera; lacks FM tuner.

The bottom line: The 6500 classic is truly a great-looking model for users who just want a good and simple handset that works.

Simple but effective



Rating: 7 out of 10 (Very good)
Pros: User Friendly, 1GB
Cons: Software upgrade faulty
Opinion:
I like the speaker, especially when one plays trance or tech music. Very clear and outstanding.

However I had tried to upgrade its software via online. The moment the upgrade took place, the phone hangs constantly.

After buying the E71, I gave my 6500c to my daughter.

 

Looks can be deceiving!

Pros: Nice slim form factor;
Cons: It won't sync!!!!
Opinion:
I've had the phone for a week already and for the past 4 days since i got it, i've been trying to sync and even tried restoring my backup data from my old N80. I thought i wouldn't need a high tech phone like an N80 anymore and decided to get one that is more cool to look at but at least capable of getting connected with my pc for some basic synchronization. To my disappointment, just sync(ing) my contacts, it can't even perform. I have missing contacts if i scroll on the Names but I can see them when i click on the Nokia browser in my PC! How weird is that! I need help, Nokia please come up with a solution!!!
