Hello everyone,
I have read so many posting issues with the 6500 slider. I would like to add my frustrations as well. I live in the US. I fell in love with the 6500 and bought in mid November 07 (the box labeled 6500-1 and I'm not sure what the -1 means but the box stated such and I think it is an Asia model). I used it for 1 week without issues but then here are the problems I've encounted staring the 2nd week:
1- 6500 started to re-boot while I navigated the menu.
2- 6500 started to reset to default settings for FM radio stations.
3- 6500 started to display "Contact not ready" when access the phone book from the internal memory. A power off usually fixed this problem.
4- 6500 re-booted more often in my 3rd week of usage and finally...died. What I meant by died is after power on, the phone displayed the Nokia handshaking logo and then the phone automatically turned off. Battery was fully charged.
I have own several Nokias and they worked great except for some minor problems which I can live with. I really love this phone even with only 1 week of fully using it because of its style, size and functions. I'm now stuck with the dead phone since Nokia in the US doesn't want to deal with international Nokia model and the seller would not allow me to exchange. I'm very frustrated. Does anyone faced similar or close to my issues with the 6500 slider and how did you go about to have it repair?
I really appreciate any helpful advice. Why are we getting so poor of a quality from Nokia these days? I hope the Nokia's head-quarter is learning about these and help users with bad phone out.
Thx.
John
HAD ENOUGH of this phone keep resetting to default settings, when i first got it this only happened 2-3 times a week but now its 2-3 times a day, i had mine 2 months. Have now sold & brought the nokia 5610. Same features but with a great music feature. Am sad cause i loved the look & colour of this phone but just could not stand it anymore.
yes!
Menu > Settings > Phone > Automatic keyguard > On
I have just one quesition, does or can the keypad lock 'automatically' when you close the phone???
currently i'm using Nokia 6288...it fine for me....but cannot rotate picture and crack sound with music player..
how about this phone?is it possible to rotate picture?
is it true this phone can display message sender picture?
love this phone...have had it revert back to default settings a few times, but its generally only when it looses complete battery life which is hardly ever because the the batt. life is reasonably good considering how much i use the mp3 player & camera. Sound is good, pictures are good and overall settings are easy to use. i like this phone and have been selling them like crazy. 8 out of ten from me!

i heard this fone cant use the front cam for photos. only for video calls. right? WTF!!!
but on a contrary, it has other good features. only its not an OS s60 phone. which i am used to and loved.
now im still thinking if i'll buy this fone to replace my n6680 or i'll go for n73 music.. or better, i'll go for n82. but have to wait before its price depreciates. lol! ir when nokia will be releasing its (n82) black version.
when would that be?!
iwant to know about his sound nd his sound lock like nokia 5700
any uk people havin problems with the phone? and are they serious . . . or can dey be repaired via firmware? id like to to buy one but not sure yet anyways tanx
Since changing my ring tone from memmory card and saving the ring tone to phone memory, my ring tone hasn't defaulted to original setting.
i got the 6500 slide 2 days ago, & i have a problem each time it get back to the original nokia default wallpaper & ring tone does anyone know what to do ???
why so many people faced same problem and never improvement or action taken?why?why?why?
I just bought it few day ago,this phone was auto master reset to default after few min when setting a ring tone and themes.i very disappointed..why had this problem?waste my time send for repairing..
i own the 5610... and i can tel ya that bith phones are exaxtly the same hardware except that nokia wanted to make it even more special by making one more camera centric-thus the carl zeiss lens, and the other the Xpressmusic for the music fans.. so one is optimised for camera and the other optimised for music..... doesnt this give u all a sense of deja vu.....? Remember SE - it made T650 and K770 of same hardware and made one into a cybershot, and made the other a wannabe fashionable phone..... its all tactics and strategy i have to say,,,,,
Anyone got an AUSSIE version of this phone and had any problems with it??
I dont trust the asian ones as many people are having trouble with them.
Does this phone really have that many problems?? I wanted to buy one, but ever since I read all the peoples opinions, i'm beginning to think that this phone isn't worth it.
Yes, the 3.2MP camera at the back can record high quality videos with sound and unlimited timing using yr memory card.
Photos and video taking can be zoomed.
There is also the music player and radio with quite loud loudspeakers.
And a dictionary, voice recorder, converter, tv output presenter, calender organiser, many good games, etc...
It uses 3G to surf accessing Yahoo and stuff (not wifi).
The front camera doesnt take photos, only the 3.2MP at the back does. Good autofocus and flash.
Its a good phone with strong built and reasonable functions.
