Looks can be deceiving!

May 27, 2008

Rating: 5 out of 10 (Average)
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

Jan 18, 2008

Rating: 5 out of 10 (Average)
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..

Rating: 8 out of 10 (Excellent)
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

 

Sleek and definitely trendy!

Aesthetically pleasing to have and to hold, definitely for the trendy.

Limited functions but the staple needs are fufilled.

I'm lovin' it!
