Nokia 6500 Classic mobile phone
Skip contentNokia 6500 Classic is a dual mode cameraphone, which is equally at home when used as a GSM quad-band handset or as a dual-band 3G mobile phone. This mid-range candybar styled device is very slim and visually quite stunning, with its brushed aluminium finish, and it is obviously a winner in the fashion stakes.
The large bright display screen is a definite plus on this phone, and a reasonable 2 megapixel camera with 8x zoom is included to capture those photos you wish to save or send in messages. Plenty more features also stand out, such as the Bluetooth™ and e-mail capabilities, MMS, video and music players, Java™ enabled games and applications, and the Web browser. This is certainly a well-featured phone.
Although the phone has a good internal memory of 920 MB, there is no provision for any additional memory, such as a memory card, and this could be a drawback for anyone contemplating holding lots of music or pictures on the phone. There is also no video calling feature available, despite the 6500 Classic being a 3G device, which might seem a little strange as most of the technology is already on board.
