Spotlight customer reviews: Customer Rating: Summary: Can't believe it Comment: I spent days looking for a phone that looked good, had a good camera, and was under 250 quid. I decided on the 6500 slide, and after a good 1st month have now decided it was a terrible decision. It tends to randomly freeze, sometimes it just forgets all my contacts, and at other times it becomes impossible to unlock the keypad lock. Apart from this drastic issue, i wasn't best pleased with the camera. Although not bad in daylight, during nightime even in artificial light it seems to morph into an absolutely useless snapper. I wouldn't recommend this to anyone... Customer Rating: Summary: Brilliant Nokia Comment: Build quality is amazing. Several bumps, drops and scrapes later this phone still looks brand new. Metal finish is a joy to hold/look at and adds a nice weighted feel to the phone. Features are perfect and balanced, everything (well, almost) that you could need. Although feature-packed, the ace of this phone is it's ease of use. Ultimately this phone's acessibility makes it one of the best slider's ever and it should survive the ineviteable new wave of nokias next year. Customer Rating: Summary: Nokia 6500 Comment: I have had the phone for over two months and would not recommend it to anyone. There is a known fault with the phone which reverts back to the factory settings. Therefore the standardize ringtone and wallpaper. After speaking to my mobile operator Orange I was told this was known fault and there was nothing that can be done other than sticking cello tape around the battery. I'm not impressed as I'm now stuck with this phone for a further 14 months. Apart from that a good phone. Customer Rating: Summary: NOKIA. NOKIA STEEL. Comment: Over the past decade I have been through half a dozen mobile phones. With a brief (and unsatisfactory) PANASONIC interlude, I have always gone NOKIA and did not regret it. My previous phone was NOKIA 6230i, a stylish working horse that, after three years of non-stop use, lately kept having ringer failure. I loved my phone and, although realized its time was up, did not want to have to familiarize myself with a whole different Menu SetUp. The NOKIA 6500-SLIDER was the perfect choice. It has a beautiful and robust brushed-steel finish, a large screen of impressive quality and one of the best phone cameras available (a 3.2Mpixels sensor behind an autofocus Carl Zeiss lens with flash). An important detail: the brushed steel is NOT that sensitive to fingerprint marks and will not require the constant wiping that other metal models do. The menu is intuitive and easy to use even if new to NOKIA 6-series. The buttons are large enough for adult fingers and, important for a slider phone, even the top buttons are fully accessible. Like most NOKIAs, the phone is greatly customizable, from colors and sounds to wallpapers and screensavers. It is robustly built and the slider glides easily in place with zero wobbling. NOKIA 6500-SLIDER is a beautiful phone that can be your helper for years. My only complaints are actually...three: (1) the very limited OnBoard memory (it has only 20MB - when my older 6230i had almost double that). Since only mp3s and photos stored on the Phone memory are guarantied to work when used as ring-tones or contact/group images, to have a cavernous 256MB Memory Card yet a puny 20MB OnBoard capacity seems ironic. (2) the placement of the speakerphone in the...back of the phone. Activate it and the phone speaks to your desk, voices coming out all muffled; and (3) the absence of photo stabilization. It may seem excessive for a phone, however when increasing the pixel number beyond 3M, image stabilization is actually essential if photos of any value are to be taken. All in all, an excellent stylish phone that, (six months after its initial release) should be available at bargain prices. Customer Rating: Summary: My worst nokia yet Comment: On my 3rd Nokia....loved the previous 2. This phone was received as a gift but I'm begining to think its a faulty piece. Amazing functions....but very poor battery life (2 days max), freezes all the time, changes back to Nokia ring tone randomly even after choosing a personalised ring tone.
