The second of two new Nokia 6500 models is the Nokia 6500 Slide, brother to the previous Nokia 6500 Classic but with a very different design and some more advanced features.
The Nokia 6500 Slide is actually named after a model that was released over 7 years ago but bears no resemblance to it like the other recent model release the Nokia 6500 Classic.
The 6500 Slide offers a better camera and is a sliding handset whereas the 6500 Classic is a candy-bar format phone but concentrates more on the materials and looks of the device.
The Nokia 6500 Slide has now been released on Vodafone in the UK, this is great news for consumers as there is now an even bigger choice of tariffs when trying to find the right one to suit their useage requirements.
Originally released on O2 and Orange, the Nokia 6500 Slide was then launched on T-Mobile and more recently on pay as you go and as a SIM Free handset completing the network rollout.
Based on the design of the Nokia 6280 and 6288 handsets and unlike the Nokia 6500 Classic, this version of the 6500 is a slider.
The Stainless Steel casing provides extra protection against everyday knocks and scuffs whilst the extensive features take care of business.
The Nokia 6500 Slide offers slightly better power management than that of the Nokia 6500 Classic, with 6 hours of talktime and 310 hours on standby and includes all of the basic features available in the 6500 Classic such as the built-in MP3 Player, web browser, email, instant messaging, EDGE technology, UMTS support and so forth.
And as with the Classic version, the Nokia 6500 Slide is a 3G enabled handset but the camera has been boosted up to 3.2 mega pixels with the introduction of Carl Zeiss Optics and the inclusion of a secondary camera for video calling is a bonus plus you’ve also got FM Radio with RDS.
Other enhancements available with the Slide version of the Nokia 6500 include a TV-out jack so Video clips and images can be played/viewed on your Television screen as well as enabling TV Video Calls & Conference Calls and then seperately you’ve also got A2DP Stereo support with Bluetooth.
The Nokia 6500 Slide has now been fully launched on all UK networks and its latest release on Vodafone will please many of the networks enthusiasts who enjoy their ‘stop the clock’ tariff feature where the customer can talk for up to an hour and only pay for the first 3 minutes.
The Nokia 6500 Classic is on eof many new launches on Vodafone, if you would like any further information please feel free to visit our online mobile phones shop.
