I got this mobile after returning Nokia 6300 (worst battery life ever) from any Nokia mobile.

Looks sexy, but if you try to type sms or unlock keypad it make you work hard... because of buttons shape.

I know some people find it ok with thin fingers but as per my fatty ones i have hard to manage on *0# buttons, I don't know why keys stuck when try to use them. Same thing with my friend too.

One thing I must say that battery cover is very bad quality. They should make it like 6300 in steel. Its very hard to open to change sim (if you want to) and quality of plastic is not very good.

Main thing... Voice Quality. I found it bit low than my old phones. (May be my mobile is bad one :( )

Other than that this phone is fantastic! light weight, slim, great looks, big bright LCD....

My wife loves this phone and now DEMAND one for her too...

If there are no above issues than I defiantly gives 5 stars

nokia have been the undisputed world champion of ugly phones for many a year....Fact!.....until now!.....I have had this fone now for a month,and is quite simply THE best fone i have owned for many a year! I have been round all of the brands over the years and this is simply perfect...and perfectly simple! A. Looks beautiful B. Feels beautiful C.very user friendly software D.NEVER crashes! E.Large screen F.Superb sound quality .....If the camera was above the now surpassed 2mp....it would have definately got 5 stars! ....well done Nokia...I love it :0)

I bought this phone a month ago and I'm still in love with it.
What I found strange is that on the back, close to the camera, there is the speaker (?) that works like a magnete. I left the phone on my desk in the office and a couple of paperclips just stack on it. Is it normal? o_O

Had this for 3 weeks now and have found this to be extremely easy to use. A very sexy looking phone! Also very slim, with reliable software and good build quality. Screen quality is superb and the call quality equally good. As with all modern 3G phones, battery life could be better but on average daily use, i have found it to last 3 full days, 4.5 if bluetooth switched off. A mp camera [ok, if you want better, buy a dedicated camera], 1gb internal memory,MP3 Player and easy transfer software.

A good all round phone which is a change from the cluttered SE phones and the tacky Plasticy Samsung ones. Get one, you will not be dissapointed. Well Done Nokia!

i bought this phone after my old one (Samsung D500) had kicked the bucket.

I seen the advert for this on tv and thought it looked really nice and thin. I went out and got it as a contract and had good first impressions.

It is really slim, i mean you do have to check now and again to see if its still in your pocket. it has what some may say a heavy weight but i think it makes the phone feel more secure. the buttons are very small and it took me about 2 weeks to get used to them, they do have a ridge at the bottom of each button to help you identify one from the other, but i wonder would it be better without it.

The phone has a nice layout on the menu with a lot of customization available. The phone has all the standard features of phones nowadays, games, calculator, bluetooth, MMS and a camera.

The camera is the letdown on the phone. It is a 2 Megapixel which for the price of the phone is a little low. The quality on the camera is very bad by todays standards. Unless you have perfect lighting your photos will be pixelated. Taking photos in low light you cannot see a thing and if you put the flash on you have the bright whiteness of peoples faces. The flash on the phone cannot be set to be permanently on which i found a letdown as i used to use my old flash as a light when walking in the dark. When you use the digital zoom on the camera it makes the photos more pixelated than normal and actually instead of zooming in it just crops the photo so it looks better on your phone but not on the pc.

The video camera on the phone is very small resolution (176 x 144 Pixel) which is actually smaller than the screen. For the technology that is available today this is a letdown.

A small but annoying thing is when you save pictures (haven't tried it with videos yet) the first available picture name is assigned, eg, if you take photos 1 2 3 and 4 but decide to delete 2 and 3, when you take your next photo you would expect it to save in location 5, but it actually saves it in number 2. I found this very annoying as i would have my newest photos scattered around my photo gallery.

The phone has a 1GB of internal memory which to some people is not enough but i manage to fit loads of songs on , take many photos, and save many videos.

Thanks for reading all this and i hope it helps you make up your mind if you want to buy it

I have had my new nokia 6500 for a few days now after upgrading from a 6280 which completely died a death on me. i love this phone its so easy to use. the ring tones are a vast improvement.if like me you like a simple ring ring tone its got it. its the best phone nokia have come up with so far and would def recommend anyone to buy or upgrade to. well done nokia its pure pleasure to use.slim and sleek. 10/10

I've had this phone for about 2 weeks now after having the N70. It's a beautiful breath of fresh air. A gorgeous finish externally with wonderful easy menu's and lovely graphics. After all the messing about with the N series, Nokia have finally made a beautiful looking and feeling classic mobile phone with easy but full functionality. Well done Nokia! Buy it, you won't be dissapointed.

This phone is fantastic for people who are looking for a basic phone. With 1GB of internal memory there is no need for any memory cards. It's slim design makes it a very attractive phone to have and I believe has made Nokia and competing phone again, after so many of the latest phones have had many problems.

Its perfect. flawless mobile and easy to use. what more can i say. buy this phone. a+++++

I bought this phone on contract and i must say it is amazing. it is really easy to use and very user friendly. its got a 1gb internal memory, which is great. ive got 250 songs and plenty of images and videos on my fone already. the camera is onli 2 megapixel but in the daylight you wouldnt be able to tell the difference between this one and the 3.2 megapixel on the slide version, its just at night time its not great but it does have a flash. Overall i advise this to be the best fne on the market at the moment. and definately better than the slidey counterpart.
