Which Phone? Nokia 6500 Classic vs Slide

[rustybolt]

Im due an upgrade on my o2 phone now.

Which is the better phone between the Nokia 6500 Classic and the 6500 Slide version.

I know the latter has a 3.2 million camera but im not really into photography on the phone so that doesnt bother me really, im after a phone which is nice to use.

Anyone have either and can offer advice?

Im not after a all singing all dancing phone, i want a nice phone to use and the only makes i like are Samsung and Nokia.

Indeed...

Its slim, looks superb, like the little brother of the 8600 luna..

Crackin software too, similar to the 6230i that i've also got..

Looks very professional too, none of this bulky all singing dancing N95, K850 lark!!

Can get the 6300 for £100 PAYG can you not matey??

The 6300 is good too but as i was offered the N95, K850i, 6300 and both 6500's as an upgrade i think i made the right choice..

 

[JJ!]

I sold my bulky K850 and kept my old k610i! lol

Something had to fund the new camera!

Yeah the classic is nice. Why not get the N95 though seeing as you like your nokias?

I had one earlier this year, it was bulky and crashed constantly, i sold it on for £300 when it was 2 weeks old..

 

[rustybolt]

tim - i hate the N95, my mate has one. Too bulky imo.

classic on its way...

im about to get a 6500 but i dont see why people are recomending the classic over the slide? the slide has much better spec?

I had a 6500, quality is shocking so got a 6300

what was wrong with it? did u have a classic or slide? how do u find the 6300?

 

[DrR]

Classic, screen has no protection, battery cover is crappy plastic, classic used to "bend" when texting, buttons where naff.

6300 is same as 6500 but has more functions and is far better built, screen is protected and has full metal case.
