Nokia 6500 Classic photos
The Nokia 6500 Classic is a great phone for making calls, and it adds a couple of extra features, too. And for an unlocked handset, it's quite affordable.

A signature Nokia
The Nokia 6500 has a standard Nokia candy-bar design.
A big, bright display
The 6500 has a brilliant display, with bright colors and sharp graphics.
From behind
The 6500's camera and flash are on its rear face.
In profile
The 6500 casts a trim shadow, but we missed having a dedicated volume rocker.
Keypad and controls
The 6500 has a spacious and tactile navigation array, but its keypad is somewhat cramped.
In the hand
Though it may not stand out from the cell phone crowd, the 6500 has a comfortable, sturdy feel.
On the go
The slim 6500 slides easily into a pocket or bag.
Picture time
The 6500's camera offers a flash, but it lacks a self-portrait mirror. A small speaker sits next to the lens.
