Stainless steel body

Short description:

Nokia 6500 Slide is a functional phone with a good camera and support for both GSM and 3G. And its appearance is quite universal - you can count on this design not being outdated in just six months.

Specifications.

Actually, there are two Nokia 6500 phones. Firstly, this is the Classic version - a candy bar that differs from the Slide both externally and functionally. However, the style of both phones has something in common quite clearly.
Unlike the Classic, the 6500 Slide phone is made not of aluminium-plastic, but of an honest, strong stainless steel case. In addition to steel, black glossy plastic is used, but there is relatively little of it. Even the battery compartment cover is made of steel. There is only one case option - black and silver, classic, and it is unknown whether others will be produced.
The slider opens easily with one hand. The keys are extremely comfortable - this applies to all types. As in the Nokia 6500 Classic, the company for some reason decided not to use a separate on/off button, but, like most manufacturers, transferred this function to the end call key. The backlighting of the keys is white and, as a special touch, it does not always work. In a good way. There is a special sensor that turns off the backlight during the day/in well-lit rooms.
All connectors are located on the top panel - this is a 2.5 mm headphone input, a TV-out (we will talk about it a little later) and microUSB (it is not clear why Nokia started introducing this type of connector now - cables and other equipment for it is still quite difficult to find). In addition, there is a separate socket for connecting a charger. It is noteworthy that in the 6500 Classic all connections are made via the same microUSB. Wirelessly, you can connect to other devices only via Bluetooth version 2.0.
The Nokia 6500 Slide display has a diagonal of 2.2` and a resolution of 240x320 pixels. More than 16 million shades of colors are displayed. In general, the characteristics are quite ordinary for a modern phone. The display could even be brighter. It is protected by a layer of plastic (there is no protection in the Classic model. Slide is generally noticeably stronger).
User-accessible memory is only 20 megabytes. For a phone with a high-quality player and a good camera, this figure is not just modest, but even pathetic. But it’s worth considering that the 6500 Slide has a slot for microSD cards - it’s quite possible to install a card with a couple of gigabytes. The only inconvenient thing is that the slot is located under the battery compartment cover.
There is also an FM radio. A small drawback is that it only works with connected headphones - they are used instead of an antenna. Accordingly, without headphones, radio transmissions cannot be heard.
An unusual feature that in some ways makes the player similar to an iPod-type gadget - there is a TV output for playing videos and viewing pictures on the TV screen. The TV uses regular RCA tulips for connection; MPEG-4 and H.264 files can be viewed.

Camera:

The camera in the Nokia 6500 Slider is really good. Some directly claim that this is the same hardware that is used in the Nokia N73 - a multimedia computer. Be that as it may, there is a sensor with a resolution of 3.2 megapixels, Carl Zeiss optics are used and autofocus works.
The flash consists of two LEDs. This is not xenon, but the phone is not a full-fledged camera either. In any case, the quality of the images is quite acceptable for this resolution.
Video recording in H.264 (3GP) or MPEG-4 formats is supported. The maximum possible resolution when shooting is up to VGA, that is, 640x480 pixels. Recording speed when shooting in MPEG-4 is 15 frames/sec.
In addition to the main camera, there is also an additional one - for video calls on 3G networks. It is located on the front panel to the right of the speech speaker. It is not suitable for taking self-portraits - the option is simply not provided.
Software included, including Adobe Photoshop. Your phone supports PictBridge, which allows you to transfer photos without a computer directly to a compatible printer.
