Nokia 6500 Classic Review

Phone rating:

In a nutshell: The 6500 Classic is Nokia's thinnest phone so far, and is a stunningly beautiful phone too, with its polished metal casing. It's an easy to use phone that does just what most people want from a phone - make calls, take pictures and play music. Supplied with 1 Gbyte of memory and a stereo headset, it's already equipped to go. The one thing missing from this 3G phone is video calling. We have deducted marks because of poor battery life, reliability problems and the small keypad. Available in Black, Bronze, Pink or Silver.
Best buy: *Free* with half-price line rental from Mobiles.co.uk (Black); or £79.95 on PAYG from the Carphone Warehouse (Black or Bronze),

And doesn't it look nice, with its sleek aluminium casing ("individually polished", according to the Nokia blurb) and available in Black and Bronze. Let's pause a moment to enjoy the looks
