Good: Sleek, unusual looks, 1 GB of internal memory, sharp screen, Bluetooth 2.0 with EDR & A2DP profile
Bad: No memory card slot, no FM tuner, uncomfortable alphanumeric keypad, expensive
Bottomline: The Nokia 6500 Classic has the third edition of the Nokia Series40 UI. It is smooth to operate; it reminded me of the Nokia 5310 & 5610 XpressMusic phones, which have a similar UI. The stand-by app screen and the tab menu bring Symbian Series40 closer...

Bad: Does not manage to reproduce standard video formats and codecs, Mediocre camera, No slot for an additional memory

Good: Great looks, good call audio, solid music player features
Bad: Weak reception
Bottomline: The Nokia 6500 Classic has an impressive spec sheet. 1GB of internal storage memory, a 2 megapixel camera, and a very sleek and elegant form factor. It is also very solidly built. Not bad for a company that only very recently started making thin phones...

Bad: No memory card slot, no 3.5mm headphone jack, unified microUSB port limits multitasking The Final Word The 6500 Classic is a well equipped 3G phone bursting with style. The lack of a memory card slot is a real let down, but it remains an excellent hand...
