i have a 6500s, ya its good if u want to use internet, because internet works very well on it also providing support for youtube videos its not good for messaging because it does not automatically match the name of person you typed in the 'to' block, you have to type the full number or manually search it from the contacts... It also does not provides the option for copying an image or any other file with in the mobile... You can only move it its camera is provide good quality picture and a very good quality video with resolution of 640 x 480. Front camera is only for video calling you cant take pictures with it and thus skype will also wont work... One great problem is that its button stops working suddenly and u have to change the ic. Memory card space is also 4gb not good enough... Over all for daily using aaa hmmm.......... Ya its just good

I have had the phone for over two years now and i can honestly say its been a pain from the start. I had only had it a few months when it went wrong so they sent me another one which turned out even worse! It takes absolutely ages to connect to a call and a lot of the time it doesn't even ring after an exceedingly long time of connecting. This isn't because I live in an area with no signal in fact even when it won't connect it still says I have full signal! Also I found that it takes a very long time to send/receive any messages and the time that it says you received the message is almost always wrong! All i can say is that the keypad is good for texting and there are quiet a lot of features on it for people to use. All in all not the best phone.

I got this phone in december 2007, and it was a great phone at first, but decreased over time. It's easy to use, I can change setings and text and stuff without looking. But within the first year f having it, battery life decreased rapidly, the phone froze every time i got a missed call, froze every time I deleted multiple texts, and the arrow key chipped. My phone is now broken, the system started to get slower, then suddenly the buttons stopped working. Only get this phone if you want it for a year. After that is useless.

After about a year it started getting very hot during calls and turning itself off randomly, only to come back a few seconds later and take ages to access contacts and messages. Also it won't unlock sometimes, which is very frustrating if you need to make a call... my network refused to give me a new phone. Was very happy to eventually be rid of it.

My previous phone was a w850 - sony erricson. if i had the choice out of the two i would definitely choose the nokia 6500 slide over sony erricson w850 due to the fact that all the features are better in quality. ;D

i've had this phone for 2 years and found this a good phone, the only problem I have had has been with the sound quality after I dropped it - which was fixed that night by tightenning 2 screws at the rear of the screen on the slidey part. Battery lasts about a week between charges (light user) and I love how easy it is to send texts from it. Always had Nokias for the last 10 years and resisting pressure to change manufacturers.

Compared to others who have submitted reviews on here, maybe I got lucky with my 6500 slide but I�ve had very few problems with it over the 2 years I have owned it on an orange contract. I had an issue with the background wallpaper going blank which was solved by a firmware update which I did myself. Battery life with normal use seems to average about four days which for me is perfectly acceptable considering the functionality. It pairs up with my cars Bluetooth no problem and clarity on calls has been excellent. The Camera quality is good for snapshots and is perfectly acceptable and miles ahead of a Sony Ericsson that I had owned previously in this regard. The phone also seems to hold onto a signal very well even in patchy reception areas and apart from fluff and muck getting behind the battery door too easily, the build quality also gets a thumbs up from me. I also enjoy the weight of the phone, as it is nice to know I have the phone in my pocket. I moved to this phone from an all bells and whistles HTC sliding front smart phone which was bug ridden piece of junk compared to this Nokia. The HTC totally died after only a year of use so I decided to go back to basics at contract renewal time, and I haven�t once regretted it since or missed any of the smart phone functions. I was honest with myself and realised that I didn�t need or use most of the smart phone functionality and the 6500 slide has been a faithful companion. So much so that now my contract is up for renewal, I am not sure what to get that will compare in terms of build quality, looks (love the brushed aluminium) and reliability... suggestions are welcome.

Have this phone for 16 months now. During that period i came upon the following problems, the first 4 of them, as i noticed, is common to most owners: 1. Speaker broke down. Took it for a fix and said i broke it, possibly by a drop and paid 35 euros for replacement (of the speaker). Yet, even after replacement, the speaker sounder as bad as before the "fixing"; you could hear the person on the other line as it was speaking in the background. 2. Screen faded some times showing weird colours for a sec or two. 3. Battery's life too short. 4. Restarts some times. 5. The screen just "burned out" a few months ago so i had it replaced with a new one (65 euros). This is the worse mobile phone i ever had!!

The battery is rubbish and I have to charge the phone every day even if I don't use it very much, the screen has started playing up, the internet freezes, you have to wait ages sometimes to erase letters in texts you are writing and overall it has a very slow response to all applications.

Rubbish! Screen started going heywire a few weeks after recieving phone. A couple of months later and ... no screen at all. Yeay!!!! :/ Took to Carphone Warehouse, who said this would not be covered by warranty. It also used to turn itself off randomly and occasionally run out of battery after a couple of hours of charging when it had said the battery was full. If I'd have taken out insurance for the last four months at �6.99 I'd have spent �28 on a replacement. For that price I can get a similarly lame phone on Ebay that supports 3 anyway, so I'm glad I didn't since, however funky this model may look, it's rubbish! My advice to you is steer clear all together.

DO NOT BUY !!! Thought i was alone on the freezing issue, the voicemails instead of texts and it turning off during calls then i looked up on it. Common fault known by all the networks. 3 are replacing mine for a different model tomorrow whether they like it or not and i'm not usinbg the insurance cover to do it. Surely a warranty issue

My Nokia 6500 Mobile is doing great infact to me it's more like a mini Palmtop i have stored in it most of my day to day data with the help of a mermory card.The only problem i've encountered is that the battery does not really last these days for me.

Have had this phone for a year now. Usability wasnt bad. I had a little samsung previously, which i loved as it was so easy to use, never had any problems with it and it seemed to be indestructable. Within a month of owning the much higher spec nokia i was missing the samsung. The back of the nokia stopped fitting properly, the camera didnt seem to be as good, and there were little nigley things, like not being able to set multiple alarms. The battery didnt last as long, but i was expecting that as it does a lot more than the samsung. I get 1 to 2 days out of it now, but im not a heavy user. I always had problems getting a decent signal, even when people with me, on the same network, were getting a full signal. When the signal was bad i would only get about 7 hours about of the battery. But about 2 months ago things got much worse. I get voicemail alerts instead of txts, it switches itself off, freezes, the memory dissappears. Apparently, these are all known software problems. I'm sending the phone off to get updates, but i friend of mine also got this phone around the same time as me, she had problems with hers after about 6 months, she sent it off to be repaired twice and it wasnt any better when she got it back. So beware, its not the worst phone i've owned, but i wouldnt recommend this one, and i'm put off getting a nokia again.

Good phone when it works. Liked the phone at first, then it began to freeze quite alot. Then one day it turned itself off and I couldn't get it to work. Sent it back to Nokia who sent back a replacement. I lost all my numbers which was frustrating. 8 months later the same thing happened again. Time for a new phone. Bye bye Nokia 6500 slide.

I hate this phone! Worst phone I've ever had! I'm on my third replacement now! & can't get an upgrade till March!!!!! My previous 2 of these have both had the screen just turning black & not turning on & off the keypad kept deciding when i could use the keypad & when it wanted too light up or not! My memory card stopped being recognized! But soon sorted that out by having too twist something around in the back of it...ridiculous!! I can't delete more than 40message because everytime i do it crashes then won't turn off or do anything i take the battery out of it then it it won't turn back on for at least an hour without functioning properly! I can't get onto my message or send messages for about an hour after its stopped crashing it just says 'Message storage is not ready' or something along those lines! Its the worst phone ever! My friend had the same problems with the keypad & it took her phone company 6months too send her a new phone! 6MONTHS!!!!!!!

Very good phone had it on orange contract for almost 24 months now goin to be renewing my contract with sony erricson C902. the phone is slightly heavy compared to others but i liked that it gave it a sterdy feel to it. keypad was great easy to use and to text on. sound is very loud which is also a plus. Battery life is acceptable. offers software updates but are not neccessary for ohone to work. camera is good but upgrading to higher mega pixle. only downside the back becomes scratched easily but that might just be because i drop it a lot but considering i drop it a lot its is still in great workin order even after 2 years! over all an outstanding phone. do not reconmend orange network though very bad problem with signal.

i bought nokia 6500s-1 in March. i've not enjoyed it a single bit. the music player keeps skipping, playing only the intros of the songs. furthermore, it recognises my memory card when it chooses to. it takes sometime to load snapped pictures and battery life is nothing to write home about. i much enjoyed my former nokia 6300 for its non-stop music playing. nokia 6500 is a sham and shame, unfortunately.

I love this phone and have had it for a year and although im a complete butterfingers all thats happened to it is 2 dents and a small scratch. This is an excellent phone and the only reason it wasn't 5 stars was because: 1) i use my phones as music players and this phone has a weird memory card holder so that the music library has to stop and keep searching. I fixed this with a little bit of blutak in the back *not recommending it as my phone started getting really hot and may have been damaged by this in the long term* 2) Some of the songs become locked and are unable to be played. this was only a few songs and didnt really effect me but i can imagine it getting quite annoying BUT with a quick google search i found how to unblock all songs with a few texts to your provider w/e. anyway a brilliant phone after I "Fixed It" and would quickley recommend to anyone

I've had this phone for 18 months and never had a problem with it. It took a while to find some of the features (like how to end a call by closing the slider). Now my contract's up I have to get another phone. It's proving very difficult to replace (my supplier does not offer the 6600 slide!) It syncs with Outlook, has Bluetooth, takes reasoanble photos and video (for a phone), text and of course voice. Does everything I want it to. The only problem I've had is finding a case that I like that allows me to use it without taking it out.
