At just 95 grams, the 6500 is light for a 3G phone. It is also only 9.5mm thick, and the attractive casings are individually polished to make them individual.
So far, so good. The 6500 is really pitching itself as a 3G fashion phone.
The seductive feel of smooth aluminium- the pleasure of perfectly balanced and delightfully compact form. Enjoy fast download and web browsing with 3G mobile broadband. Store all your music, images and movies with 1GB of integrated memory.
The Nokia 6300 is positioned as a designer solution, but at the same time it belongs to the Connect – Contemporary category in Nokia’s books, like the Nokia 6500 classic. While the former device has been pushed under the motto «Simply Beautiful», the latter has had a couple of aspects highlighted, with materials, rather than design, being the centerpiece of the ad campaign. The maker doesn’t trick us, claming that the device is made of metal – indeed, the top part is made of anodized aluminum. And, no matter how you look at it, on the top, metal is everywhere. At the same time they claim every device has unique front polishing to it, there are no two models that look alike.

The model comes in two color schemes – black and bronze. Either looks fetching, on top of that very model ships with a color-keyed theme, which adds certain chic to it.

The handset’s buttons are made of plastic and lit in white, which is well-visible in various environments. The keys are average in size and employ terraced layout, but more importantly, the 6500 Classic does well on the ergonomics front, the buttons are easy to tap and very responsive.
