Verdict: Conclusion The 6500 Slide, available free on contract or for around £260 SIM-free, is not going to be a mainstream handset, but the good camera, excellent music player and innovative TV output feature will definitely gain it a cult following. However,...

Review summary: With its Nokia 6500 classic, Nokia has produced an unashamedly elegant handset. It's an understated sliver of a design that avoids the flash attention grabbing of the Nokia 7500 Prism and the wallet-bruising price tag of the Nokia 8800 series

Review summary: Logic might suggest that the Nokia 6500 slide is simply a sliderphone version of Nokia's 6500 classic candybar phone, but who gives a stuff about logic? Certainly Nokia doesn't seem to, as the 6500 slide is a very different mobile to the classic

Review summary: I like a handset that looks like a traditional mobile. Nothing too fancy in terms of looks; just the relevant features in keeping with its price. Anything extra is just a bonus. The Nokia 6500 Slide just might make the grade if your tastes are in sync...

Verdict: The Bottomline I feel the 6500 Slide falls short with regard to some of its features, if only a little. The camera, battery, and elegant design stand out as strong pluses. The price tag of Rs 13,200 doesn't make it that expensive, but there are plenty...
