The Nokia 6500 is a compact and simple cellular phone manufactured in the UK and available unlocked to most markets. This phone features a sleek, small design and is rather no-frills in terms of additional features. It does, however, come equipped with a 2 megapixel digital camera, 1 GB of internal memory, micro USB, an MP3 music player, and streaming video recording and playback. It is also 3G capable, allowing users to check their email and surf the web on the go. Though the phone is quite simple, there are a number of tricks and tips to maximize usability.
