Introduction
After a 6300 with a resounding success, Nokia unveils the 6500 Classic. The principle remains the same: a phone that emphasizes finesse and good finishing with a portion of the metal shell.
The version we have in our possession is a prototype and items may change before commercialization, especially in the embedded software.
Moreover, we do not have the box office or sell accessories included in the latter.

Positive points:

- Screen quality
- Small size
- Full connectivity
- Effective system and fluid interface
Negatives:
- Prices very high compared to similar performance for 6300
Package Contents
According to the manufacturer's website, the commercial version should be supplied with:
• Nokia Stereo Headset HS-82
• Nokia Charger AC-6
• Nokia Battery BL6P
• Micro USB Cable CA-101
• Instructions
• Brochure
• CD-ROM
No cover, for example, or memory, the 6500 Classic does offer any removable media.
Getting Started
Rather fine, rather sober and very well finished with its shell partly metal, the newcomer follows in the footsteps of his elder.
The screen adopts the same characteristics (320 * 240 pixels 16 million colors), as the camera (2 megapixel without autofocus).
Something new all the same: the phone features a LED flash and a flash of a GB accessible via your PC via Bluetooth connection or through the single connection to the camera: a micro USB port.
Charger, USB cable and headset so share the same socket, which for example prevent you listen to music while charging your phone ...
Slight disappointment on the side of the keyboard, which will require a little adjustment period because of relatively small keys.
A proven system
The terminal is based on the S40 platform from Nokia.
Symbian point here so he'll have to settle for Java applications to complement the functions and capabilities of your device.

The system equips virtually all phones not smartphones of the brand.
Already in 6300 and 6555, it does not destabilize the organization of its menu, especially since the interface can be reviewed by the user (changing the order of menus, display or appearance with numerous themes).
The possibilities offered by this system, although less advanced than Symbian S60, will be amply sufficient for most users.
Thus, synchronize your calendar or address book with your PC / Mac will be a mere formality with PC Suite or the various plug-ins available for iSync.
Connectivity
Wireless connectivity of 6500 is fairly complete: thin quad-band GSM support with EDGE, and presence of connectivity (UMTS video calls not possible though).
No HSDPA, so even if this connection will be more useful on a smartphone (mobile web, downloads, ...).
The mobile also has Bluetooth A2DP profile allows the use of helmets with no son. As a guide, in our tests of file transfers, the maximum speed was set at approximately 125Ko/sec.
In terms of autonomy, we had to recharge the battery every 3 days. Again, it is possible that the final version improves this.
Menus
1) Messaging
This menu is classic with other Nokia. The T9 system board is still effective. The sending of MMS and email is of course quite possible on this model.
Like all non-Symbian Nokia lately, smileys are included in the mail.
2) Contacts
This is your telephone directory. The sorting is done, by choice, by name or surname. Creating and managing groups of contacts is possible.
Obviously you can associate a ringtone and a dedicated photo to a contact or a group.
Note that the photo displayed when a call is still small, especially compared to Sony Ericsson terminals.
3) Call records
It's your call log, which references your dialed / received / missed as well as SMS and network connections.
4) Parameters
Almost everything is customizable in the Nokia 6500. Themes (with change of icons), tones, modes, the screen saver (slide show of photos available) ...

5) Gallery
Classic Menu for mobile brand in Finland, to browse files stored on your mobile.
For photos, display full screen and scrolling slide show are of course available.
6) Multimedia
- Camera: As already stated, the integrated camera will not shine with its performance. Some effects are yet available.
Here are two photos:
- Video: The video, seen their resolution (176 * 144) are only intended for mobile use.
- Music player: MP3 player and video from your 6500. The proposed functions are complete enough for a phone of this range, and satisfy users not too demanding. For fans of mobile music, other models will be much more efficient and dedicated to this task (eg the 5310).

- Yahoo Go!
- Voice: save small memos or sounds in amr format.
- Equalizer: Lets you change the sound of the songs in the MP3 player.
- Extended Stereo Effect applied to the audio output of 6500. Rendering the sound is a little better.
7) Organizer
- Alarm: small alarm clock built into your Nokia. The alarm can be activated by a tone, an MP3 music.

- Events: Classic on such phones, the agenda is fairly comprehensive for the vast majority of the clientele served by this terminal.
- Do: tasks
- Notes: small text files (. Txt) that you can write and send. It is not possible to post it on the screen as suggested by Sony Ericsson.
- Calculator: The proposed model is quite comprehensive, but conventional phones to the mark.
- Countdown
- Stopwatch: The stopwatch is available for tours, in addition to counter classic.
9) Applications
- Games: No game was installed on our model
- Application: No application was installed on our model
10) Internet
This is actually the WAP browser (xHTML compatible) of 6500. Mobile surfing is possible, but very limited on the browser. For more advanced uses of this function, I recommend using Opera Mini. Conclusion
This phone has really seduced by its good workmanship and its metallic body recalling the premium range of manufacturer.
However, it is unfortunate that the sale price and relatively high performance multimedia rather low spoil this big positive.
Indeed, with a supplement of nearly 150 € compared to 6300, the 6500 Classic is a price to pay to update aesthetics and adding a GB of integrated memory, especially given the price of the latter.
