Nokia 6500 Slide Cell Phone

Sorry folks but I am only a Mr Average user who this phone is not really designed for. However, only really had the Motorolla Flip type phones in the past like the Razr etc.
I thought, to hell with it, Im going to own the latest flashiest phone in the market place. Well how do I find it. Its a great little package, with just about all that most people will want from a phone, young or old alike. The keys are nicely placed, even for those ham fisted oldies like myself! Texting, once I found it! Was relitively easy, although initially locating Send a Message was a little awkward if hidden. Hey, remember that Ive been used to the Motorolla Set Up and not Mr Nokia's latest. From memory, its bassically the same as the dear old 2810 range of phones! Nothing changed other than you now get loads of extras and games.
Incidently, the camera on this is second to none. Im a bit of a camera Buff and this little package meets my needs superbly with quality and clarity that is not in some cameras costing the same as this phone/camera package. On a negative point, it would have been handy to have taken the memory card out and taken it to Mr Tesco or similar,who would kindly download it and produce and convert the memory into those lovely items known as photo's! This may still be possible, because you can download the memory to your PC. Just not sure if it can be done directly at Mr Tesco's place? The Flash is brilliant too and left on automatic, it decides if the Flash is needed or not, thus saving your dear old battery.
The music and sounds are amazing for such a small package, the clarity and bass are just fine for my rusty old ears. This is well capable of playing the local Hip-Hop bands stuff through to Pink Floyds latest remix. How they put such a superb package together is beyond me.
The Phone seems to run on fresh air! The Battery on the 6500 Slide seems to carry on for ever, without a charge. Never, have I known a phone work so hard in testing and getting used too without deminishing the battery. What are Nokia making them from? I expect this to easily last me a week between charges, whereas my dear old Motorola would be needing intensive care after only two or three days average use! Oh, it also can be fully charged after only one and a half hours pluged into our glorious 230v system.
There is so much on this phone, I have had it three days now, and I still have not found my way around it! There is so much on it that it will take me at least one or two months to get to grips with it all. If thats your 'Bag' then this is the phone for you. Quality abounds, from its stainless steel case, through to its positive feeling buttons. It is really the phone for the future thats ready today. Perhaps its a bit too over the top for the likes of me, Old Fart who has just passed the 50 mark! But for those gadget concious go getters out there who want to make a statement, then this phone not only has it all, it all works superbly too.
Please note, I dont work for Nokia and I have never completed one of these reviews before. Mind you, its been easy as it is similar to what I used to do for a living.
Hope that you find my review informative, honest and interesting. Best wishes to you all. Jon. PS> Sorry about my spelling, but my fingers work faster than my brain these days!
