Nokia 6500
One big difference between the two Nokia 6500 that were released in 2007 is on the design. The Nokia 6500 classic was boasted as the slimmest Nokia unit on its release, sporting 9.5 mm thinness. The Nokia 6500 Slide, on the other hand, may appear bulky at first glance as compared to its namesake, but its more futuristic look of a merged steel body and clean outline positioned itself more on the battle of aesthetics. The 6500 Slide also won in the features side, as it now features a 3.2 Mega-pixel Carl Zeiss camera.
There’s number of praise with the Nokia 6500 Slide as it has been judged as one of the best Slides in the market. This silver-colored smartphone sports a 2.2-inch LCD screen and a dimension of 96.5 x 46.5 x 16.4 millimeters and weighs 125 grams with the battery in it. The unit is very well-crafted, even the key pads and battery cover. The control keys and alphanumeric keypad are large and well-spaced, and pressing them won’t raise any complaints.
The top portion of 6500 Slide is where the micro-USB port, 2.5 mm audio connector charging port and a release catch for the battery cover are located. Beneath the battery cover is where the microSD expansion card slot is hidden. There is no need to remove the battery in order to swap cards.
Some of the features that are lacking in the 6500 Slide is the multitasking Java applications, which means that only one Java application can be opened at a single time. It also includes the unified message editor, which can able to detect whether the message is SMS or MMS easily by detecting whether a multimedia file such as image or music is included in the message, and multimedia player. More shortcuts are displayed in the Home page, but this may look cramped up, so a disable option is also included. The music player (or more appropriately, a multimedia player) can also play videos and has a number of add-ons like equalizer, playback options and stereo-widening. A built-in FM radio is also included.
The Nokia 6500 Slide’s Carl Zeiss camera is definitely treat among photo aficionados as it embodies a camera resolution of 2,048 x 1,536 pixels for still images and 640 x 480 pixels for videos but it lacks the backlight adjustment feature. Taking pictures in external locations might appear to be washed out in some occasions as there are no options to adjust the camera’s brightness level. Although it doesn’t match up with the features of other camera phones, it remains a very commendable camera to use.
Connectivity with Slide includes a quadband GSM/EDGE radio, dual-band UMTS, Bluetooth with A2DP support and TV-out option. Nothing should be worried about the quality of audio calls as they are superb.
