Anybody own a Nokia 6500 Slide?

I'm interested to hear your experiences. I'm really after a phone with fairly basic functionality now that I've got a laptop. But I want something classy and solid (aluminum casing etc..).

MY new contract gave me a choice of that or the W910i and the woman, who was pretty honest about the phones said that it wasnt the best - thats all know im afraid

Hmm i've heard it has/had a few pretty big flaws when it was first released, i'm really hoping they are smoothed out now tho. Otherwise I might have to get an LG Shine Titanium

Well when I asked whether it would be a better choice she just laughed....

Yea the titanium is nice, I like the look of the u700 from samsung as well

N95 FTW

although my old 6288 was rock solid in both the software and physical sense, yes, its plastic, but it can take quite a beating...

Thing is I dont want all those features. I've got a P1i as it is, but i just want something fairly small, good looking, fast and easy to make calls!

They keys on those make me feel ill. I don't think Nokia is the right direction to be looking

Not too keen on the look tbh. I'm more of a slide design guy tbh.

2 people have ordered the 6500 slide at the end of last week... If you're happy to wait a day or two I'll check with them what they think of the phone?

Too late... I just couldn't help myself :yumyum:

Hopefully it's not crap, but if it is I've got 14 days to send it's ass packing.

Well I asked someone anyway.. A woman I work withs husband got the 6500 slide and she wishes she picked the same one.. Said he's had no problems with it and its built very solid.
