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!!!

 

Sleek and slim, meets my basic needs

Rating: 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.
