i believe it's nowhere to be seen in m'sia yet,
hopefully nokia upgrade the firmware, fix the lag issue + giving GPS & WiFi XD. wahahaha

Can the 6500s record tele-conversation & does it hv any limit?

hye i'm previously a 3230 owner, and that fon had symbian S60 OS... i had a lot of things installed in there like picture editor, dictionary (oxford) and document viewer (repligo). however, while reading all the reviews for this fon (6500), i noticed that the word symbian is never mentioned... so what is the difference between S60 and S40? can i still install all the other applications that i had on my 3230 on 6500? thanx!

i like the design of nokia 6500 except the keypad. Is there any possibility the keypad can be change to steel one or crystal type?

some one please acknowledge.thanks

i hear ppl say the camera got easy get a problem..

and the phone will lag

anyone update the latest software 4.81 ???

Updated to 4.81 couple days back, still finding the differences from the previous FW. So far:

- speaker more solid, loud & clear (music player & hands free)
- seems to be faster & less lag. On the previous FW, 2GB memory card seems slow
- previously, the front buttons less responsive & sometimes have to press few times. Now, seems OK.
- not sure 3sec lag to answer when slide still there, kinda get used to the lag
- camera less grainy when zoom in but still grainy.

the keypad look like crap, obvious scratches from sliding. You have to put ur thumb on the screen to slide up/down. Using the rubber under the screen, u can hear the slide scratching the keypad. ouch

camera performance: abit slow to display after snap. When u zoom in, image becomes grainy esp at night. It all depends on the sensor. Enough ambient light, clear pictures. Less, grainy pictures. In all, good lighting & angle & steady hands = shockingly great pictures

Its a great phone for minimalist and oh the steel body becomes really hot after long usage but still its a head turner lah.

Few pictures taken attached


Attached thumbnail(s)

I have paired it with my Clip II Mini. And it is working fine.

By the way, how to check the software version my my phone?

ya ...i found my keypad looks like crap too
scratches on the bottom 3 button....

by the way, anyone know where can i get a screen protector for 6500 ? any place around sg wang or lowyat??
and how much ?

wan to ask...is there any cover special for 6500slide?
as i kno there is a cover for 6500 classic

just bought the 6500slide over the weekend. A bit of pain since I have not use Nokia the last 5 years as I'm on either SE or Alcatel. I find the menu on Nokia a pain in the neck, so have to get used to it.

The 3.2 CZ lens is wasted without proper thinking on Nokia with the menu access. In my previous SE800, you can view and edit the camera function very easily in camera mode. The 6500 need you to move to gallery menu and out of camera mode! sigh!

Its 4.8.1 FM and already hang 1 time, apparently from the lagging. So far after getting use to how it works, its fine!

overall ?conclusion?
should vote for da hp~~

special cover means? screen protector or hard cover?
if screen protector, shud be available by now. drop by garage sales, saw some few weeks back.
hard cover, not sure.

To nokia users, the menu seems fine. It takes time to get comfortable. As for me, i dun prefer SE menu, altho the tabbing style is good.

Not sure what camera setting ur talking but there's an option button for you to change settings, if thats what u are looking for.

got a hands on experience with the slide last week...if u don't care too much bout the imaging, then its a good choice...it took more than 8 seconds to save your image and it seems like the Carl Zeiss 3.2 MP Optics is just a bluff...

anyway, it is nice to hold and nice to see too...it is a solid phone with a nice sliding method...u can feel the "click" everytime you slide it up and down...offered @ RM1250 (AP) together with the 1GB external memory...

after about an hour later, I choose SEK810i...the looks maybe not on par with the slide but inside i tell u, far more better...like a original nasik lemak sold at the kedai kopi compare to nasik lemak cook at the hotel...ehehe....

Though one need to be familiar with the menu, I can tell you with the SE, I did not even flip the manual and the setting is much easier. Even more easier with Alcatel One Touch.

Doing SMS or taking picture/viewing picture etc is a lot more faster with less step/menu pressing. The predictive more key stroke to activate and off vs SE where it have a more simple and direct access.

The 6500 require you to click a few times to enter gallery mode and its viewing is in potrait mode when you are using the camera in landscape where as the K800 will allow you to view in landscape as in Camera mode but will be on potrait mode when you view the picture via file manager. That is intuitive! Nokia CZ is suppose to be trump card as such it should implement the camera menu to be a bit more intuitive away from phone menu. Also there are no direct access to the camera setting which is why another downer for a camera that carry CZ lens!

I'm not impressed with the battery bar. Its full for 1.5 day, suddenly it just drop 1/3 bar instead of the usual gradual decreasing. The batt icon does not have like 3 or 5 bar either to indicate if that 1/3 drop is indeed 33% reduction.

Having said since I already I bought it, I will stick with the 6500, but I'm not impressed with the implementation given the amount of phone that Nokia has been selling. I always have impression Nokia is much ahead of SE in terms of phone implementation but clearly in my case it is not.

But because of the typical market perception I probably can trade it in for a decent amount 1 year down the road!

wow..sound like 6500slide also not da better choice?
sorry to ask here...
compare wif 5610 ..which 1 better in value ?specs?

Screen protector and Crystal Case already got in market.
Kit-Kit in garage sales got it.
