The Nokia 6500 slide black is the “big brother” of the Nokia 6500 classic, having almost similar functionality. The Nokia 6500 slide black comes with a slider case which makes it a bit bigger than the 6500 classic. It is rich in functions even if it is not a smartphone. In the standard package the Nokia 6500 slide black comes with a charger, a headset, a microUSB cable, a TV-out cable, a microSD card plus a software CD and some manuals.



You will be surprised to see that the Nokia 6500 slide black has a great design having a slider case made of metal with rounded edges and good dimensions. Measuring 96.5 x 46.5 x 16.4 mm in dimensions and 125 grams in weight, the 6500 slide looks very solid and very comfortable.



On the front side the Nokia 6500 slide black hosts a TFT screen, a secondary camera for video calls and some navigation buttons (two soft keys, a D-pad button and the usual Call and End keys). On the sides you will notice a volume rocker and a camera shutter. On the top part a 3.5 mm audio jack (which can be used for headphones or for TV-out connectivity), a microUSB port and a charger plug are placed.



The Nokia 6500 slide black comes equipped with a 2.2 inch TFT display which has a native resolution of 240 x 320 pixels. Supporting 16 million colors, this display offers great quality images with sharp colors and good contrast. An impressive aspect of this display is that it is visible even under direct sunlight. The numerical pad is another great feature of this cell phone. The keys are large and flat and offer a comfortable experience during typing on them. For photography fans, the 6500 slide comes with a 3.15 Megapixel camera which is capable of taking pictures at a maximum resolution of 2048 x 1536 pixels. Armed with Carl Zeiss optics, autofocus and LED flash, this camera, even if it is quite mediocre for a cell phone in these days, is capable of taking clear images with great quality of colors and strong details. It also can record VGA clips at a speed of 15 fps. The LED flash allows you to take good pictures even in a dark room or other poor light situations.



For connectivity, the Nokia 6500 slide black comes only with basic features. It has Bluetooth, TV-out and microUSB for external connections and support for GSM, GPRS (Class 11, 53.6 kbps), EDGE (Class 10, 236.8 kbps) and 3G (384 kbps) networks. Even if it lacks Wi-Fi and HSDPA support you will be able to keep in touch with your friends every time. The internal memory is small. It has only 20 MB of free space which thanks to the microSD card slot can be extended up to 8 GB. The battery life is good for this kind of cell phone. The 6500 slide comes with a standard Li-Ion (BP-5M) battery which manages to keep it on for up to 6 hours of conversations and up to 310 hours in standby mode. In conclusion, the Nokia 6500 slide black is a great phone. It looks great and works excellent so you will be able to do your usual tasks without problems.
