Nokia 6500 Classic 1 GB Unlocked Cell Phone with 2 MP Camera, International 3G, Media Player--Inter

This is a cool phone but be careful because Amazon will send you a Chinese version, not an English version like they have in the picture. I ordered from Amazon because I thought that they would not do this sort of bait and switch like you see on ebay. Unfortunately I was wrong to trust them.

First, this is not a Chinese version as P.Suranyi stated in his review. The only difference is it has europian style power adapter. They solved this problem by adding USA/Europe/China adapter in a package. So there is no different between U.S. and Chinese version. Second, I was affreid to buy a phone and found out that it has Chinese fonts only. As soon I turned it on everything was on English. I ordered this phone for my brother who lives in Russia. He is so happy to have this phone. Great phone for great price.

Bought it couple weeks ago. Easy to use, simple menu can be change for individual taste. Easy to connect to PC and install games and applications. The only problemdoesn't play simbian applications only java, so beware.

Had some problems with contact list when I got it, but it updated itself through PC and fixed the problem itself, which was nice.

Fell once, still works not a scratch. So far I am happy with it.

I realize this model is a few years old, but I expected a lot more from this phone. Firstly and probably most importantly, the battery life is atrocious, and there's no low-battery warning at 20% or 10% as is typical with newer phones. So when it reaches that last 5%, it just dies.

I guess my expectations were high because my previous phone was the Nokia 5310 Xpressmusic, which lasted me almost 4 years until it finally died. The 5310 is amazing by the way. I would've gotten it again had I known this phone was gonna suck so much.

The interface is the same as with the 5310, which I expected, and it's relatively user-friendly.

The design is sleek, the keypad is a bit cramped, but that's to be expected from a phone this small.

I'm not a fan of the phone not having a dedicated charging slot, instead it has it at the top of the phone where the USB cable connects.

I'm not sure what the previous reviewer was talking about it being in Chinese, but they obviously fixed that problem.

All in all, the phone is very basic. Again, the battery life is terrible so if that's a deal-breaker for you (and for obvious reasons it should be) don't get this phone.

I'm not sure what I was thinking, but I highly recommend you to shell-out a little more money and enter the 21st century with a smartphone...not this p.o.s.
