Today I want to tell you about my phone, which I have been a good 2 years. As my former phone was always some quirks that had to get a new one and my birthday was coming straight in handy. This report deals with the: Nokia 6500 Slide.

Nokia 6500 Reviews Nokia 6500 : More than just a phone my constant companion!

Details of the product

The Nokia 6500 Slide is available in two different colors, once there is this black and silver and one in all black. I have the phone in all black, because I did not like the black and silver finish.
In addition, the mobile phone is also available as a non-slider. This would be the Nokia 6500 But now back to the Nokia 6500 Slide.

The design

I was convinced the design very much. So I wanted to have the phone too. Why did it back then in the window and saw me talking to the phone immediately. But only the version in black.

The phone is completely in black, has a very large display is difficult, but this is not bad, because I find it better, lighter phones with just one notices that they are made of plastic. This is different. There is less plastic, but rather from geburstetem stainless steel, look what the phone can be noble and of course particularly chic. The connections for battery, headset and data cable are not like other Nokia phones below, but above. On the right side are Kamera and volume buttons, which serve as a zoom.
More design please You can extract just the pictures.

My experience with the functions

The camera

I would like to inform you as the very first reports, because I use this function the most. With the camera and the pictures I am particularly pleased.

For me, often much better than some digital cameras. The integrated LED flashes, the photo result, such as the manufacturer suggests, well in low light conditions. But now to the various functions of the camera in the photo function. The camera should be kept to the movies and also for photos horizontally.

Once you turn on the camera the following is displayed.

- Right below you will find the menu item “Options”
- In the release, which is also the key with the one confirmed everything.
- At the top right you will find the back button to exit the camera mode.
- To the left of this function displays the storage mode, in which the images or videos are saved, for you it is a memory card.
- Top left is displayed in which mode you are. (Photo / Video)
- Below is shown how many photos can be made. This depends on the resolution and the space.
- Below the zoom mode is displayed here can see (by plus or minus indicator of how far you have zoomed in and how far you can zoom in more.
- Bottom left corner is the resolution.
- To the right is displayed in which flash is set.

Under the menu “Options” you will find the following options :

* Portrait / Landscape
- Here you can set whether the pictures in portrait or landscape orientation to be made.
* Brightness
- Here you can adjust by plus and minus the display brightness.
* Night Mode
- As the name suggests, here the night mode is set.
* Flash
- Here, the flash is set (one flash, Flash Off, Auto Flash)
* Self
- Listed here may be the self-timer (Off, 3 sec, 5 sec, 10 sec)
* Sequence
Here you can select how many images are to be made hintereinader – lead by one.
* Effects
- Select here if you can the pictures in sepia, grayscale, normal or negative are made.
* White balance
- This may werden.Ist set at the point but only in video mode.
* Open gallery
- Under the item, you can access the gallery.
* Settings

- Here, image quality, resolution of the image, video clip length and video quality, video resolution, image preview duration, Camera sounds, Default title and location will be selected.

If one chooses the shooting mode, the same points are shown, as in the photo mode, except that you can choose here the white balance. Here you can choose between Auto, Daylight, Tungsten, Fluorescent or horizon.

Music Player

When one dials the music player you have these choices:

- Open Music Player
- All Titles
- Title List
- Artists
- Albums
- Genres
- Videos

Here you can select the songs that are to be sorted and played back. If you’ve finally chosen a song, it is heard in the music player. There you can the 3D sound equalizer (Normal, Pop, Rock, Jazz, Classical, Group1, Group2), the Wiederholenfunktion, random, and the player interfaces (standard or Bubble Steel) mode.
In addition, we have the opportunity to play a song via Bluetooth, to issue the tone and add the song to title list.

I use the player actually very rare, since I have a better music player and I also do not want vollknallen my phone with songs. Moreover, with the hearing far too low and the battery does not really long, when you hear music.

Radio

If you want to have to turn on the radio you plug in the supplied headphones, as this serves as an antenna. Switching off the radio for the first time, it will be asked if you want to search automatically for all available radio stations. This only works well if you find yourself in a place where one has a good network. So it’s not much in the forest.
You can also choose whether you want to listen through the speakers or headphones, mono or stereo output, automatic frequency, radio-topic, RDS On or Off.
Manually, you can also save a set frequency and.
Or you can just use the Automatic Search.
.
I have often heard the radio. But again, I think it’s much too quiet, because I’m used to another. But what I actually always use the radio is when I want to empty the battery completely. This is actually quite good because you can set so if you want to listen through headphones or speakers. I usually choose then the headphones, and put my phone in a drawer or under a pillow so I hear as little as possible. Eventually, after several hours the battery is completely empty and the phone goes out of its own.

Communications

Under the menu there are the functions:

- Create message
~ As the name suggests, messages will be posted here.
- Input
~ There are stored all received messages.
- E-Mail
~ Here you can retrieve their e-mail (web, hotmail etc)
- Yahoo! Go
~ I have never used and do not know what it is good.

~ Here are stored all the designs you come by accident on the Cancel button, the message is automatically saved as a draft.
- Output
~ Not yet sent all but the sent messages will find their place here, but they disappear once the message has been delivered and is in the Sent Items folder recover.
- Sent Items
~ All items sent are stored here.
- Saved
~ Here you will find templates and even created gespiecherte messages.
- Delivery reports
~ If one has enabled this feature, here are all stored delivery reports.
- Chat
~ Also a feature I have never been used. But here we can talk about Yahoo, Msn etc together. Of course over the Internet, is also about fees for doing so.
- Voice
~ OGM can here the message from the mailbox
- Video Releases
~ This is similar to the voice messages.
- News
~ Here you can issue the intelligence and communication issues, and add, delete or edit.
- Service commands
~ As the name suggests. Send service commands. I know not with.
- Delete messages
~ There you can select which folder contents will be deleted.
- Communication Settings
~ There you can activate Mitteilungsenstellungen de and.

My experience is very good. I use the phone mostly for calls and write SMS. And I like this feature Schonmal me very well.
I think that is particularly easy to write a sms. I always write with T9 a dictionary to vorblendet the correct words automatically. An average of about 400 characters long SMS with I have written, thanks to the dictionary in 2-3 minutes. A normal SMS has 160 characters here.

Alarm clock

This is also one of my most used function.
You can select here:

- On and Off
- Alarm
- Repeat A & Off (repeated days)
- Alarm tone (Here you can also select their own songs)
- Sleep time (up to 60 minutes)

The good on the alarm clock is that these terms even if the phone is silent, or even out. Some do so from the phone over night, so you will not be disturbed. Since such a function is very useful.
The volume of the alarm clock is very good. I am now become more awake. In addition, the cell phone vibrates while the alarm tone.

Phone and book

All previously saved in the phone book phone numbers are listed in alphabetical order. It is possible several numbers per entry, email addresses, notes, birthdays, insert the PTT address, internet addresses, postal addresses and user IDs. There is also the possibility of a photo or a special ring tone to be added, which is then displayed on incoming calls the number.
If we choose in the phone book from a participant, you can view the details there, add details, start a voice or video call, send message, PTT call you back, set the default or the Nummerverwenden. Here you can edit or delete a subscriber or ausßerdem.

Even with this I am very happy although I have tried a few things before. How Push-To-Talk (PTT) is also of much interest for me.
But the function I use to send message almost always when I have a number not in my head from that user or have not received any sms. Otherwise, I just choose to inbox, look out the right message, and select responses. Else is far too complicated for me.

Organizer

In the Organizer, we find the alarm clock on which I have already been reported and the following:

- Calendar
~ To see certain days / dates also entering some dates.
- Task list
~ There you can create useful to-do lists.
- Notes
~ Here is room for important notes
- Calculators
~ Allows calculations and conversions of foreign currencies.
- Countdown
~ Allows one to set the countdown timer, at the end of the countdown sounds a tone and a note appears.
- Stopwatch
~ Well, I must declare this function is not so.

Mostly I use the functions, calendar, calculator and alarm clock. Everything else is for me really more important. But sometimes useful.

Data transfer

With the included USB cable can transmit data without problems on the phone or from phone to PC. This works the phone as a removable disk.
The supplied PC Suite is not necessary unless you want to change messages from the phone book on PC, but I do rather than the phone itself

System Update

Via the key combination * # 0000 # to see what state the software of the mobile phones. Under www.Nokia.de explaining each step as an update is vozunehmen. This is what I’ve actually run before, and must say that this feature is quite simple.
The phone is connected to the PC, which is downloaded from Softwareaktualisiereungsprogramm nokia.de and then you should simply follow the instructions.
Easy. The whole should take about 15-20 minutes and then the cell phone to date is of course before you back up all data and also store and especially the phone numbers on the SIM card. All other data I’ve moved to the memory card.
I find this possibility to be good phone to date to bring. Above all, it’s really very simple.

Accumulator

Unfortunately I can not confirm the battery life of the manufacturer.
And even though I deal always very well with the battery.
I always let him run completely empty until it is really not concerned, before I re-recharging.
Usually I have the phone then after about 3-4 days to recharge.
Of course this all depends on what one with the phone everything is so and what to use it. For example, one hears too much radio or music, the battery lasts, of course, not so long.

Price

At that time the price of the phone was at 299 €. Now do you get it more favorable. But I’m so good two years already.

My conclusion

Of course, the phone has to offer much more but these are features that I rarely or never use. Other things that are important to the technical data or the website of Nokia will be removed.

I love my phone, I would not even give away. I’m so glad that I have something great, even if the phone is not long like the latest models of W-touch function or have I am completely satisfied and give it no longer wants. The only drawback, it is not getting anywhere, so the cell phone for itself, but not the black version which I have.
I like most about the camera because it just makes perfect pictures.

Incidentally, all the pictures I’ve already made use of the articles that I have set here at Ciao, have been made with a mobile phone camera. And? Are good or not? The flash is really fantastic. The themes can be downloaded legally on certain pages and also from the phone immediately accepted. The phone is elegant, simple and just looks good.

I love it!
Forgive all the stars that are possible : D
