CNET Asia Review
7.3
out of 10View score
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.

Sleek and slim, meets my basic needs
Feb 4, 2008Rating: 9 out of 10 (Spectacular)
Pros: Slim fit, cool looking, supports A2DP bluetooth
Cons: Limited to 1GB memory, average photo image, no FM radio
Opinion:
Finally a slim phone from Nokia. Nice solid weight in the hand. The slim phone jacket in the bundle was a nice touch, which also protects the phone when carried. Synchronizes well with my Office Outlook Calendar and Contacts. Though I was eyeing the E51 which has Wifi, the N6500C is a much better looker. Still trying to get the IMAP4 email config working though. As I am a heavy user on the phone with bluetooth, the battery last me 1 day or 1.5 days at most.
Stay Away From This Phone For Now

Pros: Slim, Solid Battery Life
Cons: Super buggy Software
Opinion:
Been having nightmares with synchronising with PC Suite (latest version) with my XP OS Notebook. Duplicate calendar and contacts one moment, missing contacts and calendar the next. Latest discovery, only selected calendar entries are synchronised! Hope a firmware or PC Suite upgrade will solve this.
Don't expect TOO much, Guys..

Pros: Slim, very portable, doesnt bulge your pocket
Cons: No card slot, mediocre camera, tiny pads
Opinion:
The reason I buy this phone is due to its look + compact size. Used to be 'troubled' putting any phone to my pocket, face it, a lot of people dont want the question: Is that a rabbit in your pocket or are you happy to see me? Well.. this one slides to any of my pocket easily. Fuctions? Well, I only used video call once (while testing it) with my previous phone. So, I dont need the front camera. No card slot? Again, used to have 1 GB on my previous phone, yet it was never full. One thing is that, I store details of my customers on the 'Contacts' in my N70. With N70, you could edit labels on 'Contacts' like Bank Acct #, or even Birthdays (if you think that's important), etc. Not on the 6500. Make sure you know what you would get/dont ... Read more
