14 DAY TRIAL // Nokia 6500 Classic is now available in a new silver version, along with the already existing black and brown ones, offering a new choice for all the Nokia fans out there. Silver is always nice when it dresses a mobile phone, so the silver 6500 Classic is obviously a good looking handset.
Aside from the color, Nokia didn't change anything else on the phone, hence we have the same candybar as the one initially released back in the fall of 2007 (together with its slider version, which Softpedia reviewed a few months ago ? click here if interested).
Nokia 6500 Classic Silver Edition will offer those who buy it quad-band GSM connectivity (850 / 900 / 1800 / 1900 MHz) and dual-band UMTS connectivity (850 / 2100 MHz), as well as a pack of mid-end features that make the phone a pretty cool one. The handset comes with a 2 inch TFT display with 240 x 320 pixels and 16 million colors support (so it can provide an excellent image clarity), Music player (MP3, AAC and AAC+ support), Bluetooth 2.0 with A2DP, a 2 Megapixel camera with flash and video, email, Instant Messaging, WAP 2.0 browser, Java MIDP 2.0 and 1GB of internal memory that, unfortunately, cannot be expanded. 6500 Classic's battery is a 830 mAh Li-Ion one that should get the phone going for up to 5.5 hours in talk-time mode and up to 300 hours in stand-by mode.
The silver Nokia 6500 Classic seems to be available only in the UK for the moment, via all the important carriers. However, I assume other countries will soon get the silver(y) handset too, since the new color is even featured on Nokia's official website. The phone's price remains the same: somewhere around 285 Euros ($450) without any contract agreement.
