There are two NEW mobile phones coming your way soon which are called the Nokia 6500 Classic and the Nokia 6500 Slide, but we want to take you way back to 2002 when the original Nokia 6500 came alive. So back to the roots we go. Back in the days the Nokia 6500 had a unique white back light display which helped even in the low light conditions plus had a new fresh look in design. The mobile was compact and was said to have great features with top performance making it a perfect little phone.

We will let you be the judge if this was a cool phone or not, take a look at the specs and you decide for us. Please get those comments coming in.
