A month back, one of my friends asked me my choice between a Nokia 5610 and 6500 slide. My preference was to go for a 6500 slide mainly because of its positive reviews over the net and some reported problems on 5610. A week back I got to play with this black, solid , somewhat stylish 6500. First things first, even though the metallic slider with its rectanglish look was ok to look at its finish and build quality was premium. Weighing at 125grams it was solid to say the least. Here are some other points of mention,
- The screen with a resolution of 240 x 320 pixels with 16M colors at 2.2″ was a real beauty but under sunlight it tended to dim a bit
- Music player and audio quality was good and loud. With a micro sd slot you can store music and videos as much as you want.
- The 3.2 Mpx autofocus camera with Carl Zeiss optics is supposed to be good. I didn’t test it but some of the snaps captured by it looked good on the phone screen
- Based on S40 UI the user interface was friendly but still somewhat laggy and not as intuitive as of Sony Ericsson’s non-smart phones
- Connectivity is well covered with quad band,3G, USB, Bluetooth with A2DP and even a TV-Out.
- Call quality and network reception are upto Nokia’s excellent standards.
- It has regular PIM features like a 2000 contact address book, calendar, notes, alarm, stop watch.
- You can extend functionality via Java apps and games.
At 13,000/- bucks (310$) its a stylish phone with business looks suited for individuals mainly for calls, sms, occassional multimedia and internet/email usage.
