Practical Photography

I never really hold much to the photographic technology of a mobile phone. In my experience most mobile phones struggle to work as a phone when they have a fancy camera built in or an MP3 player. And the image quality is never that good.

Well I try to keep open minded and tested out the new Nokia 6500 Classic it claims to be back to the old school classic design that we all know and love and I with all these bricks for phones I thought it was about time someone designed a phone that would fit in your pocket again!

But this slim line technology can’t have decent accessories…Can it?

Well no it doesn’t have a ‘5mega pixel camera’ all singing and dancing, but it does have a very good 2 mega pixel camera! With better colour screen and zoom than the majority of ‘camera phones’. For an accessible camera for every day pics it is perfect, I mean your not going to selling any image on canvas taken by a camera phone anyway and the print quality up to the average frame size is excellent.

I was impressed by the scratch resistant handset as I often drop phones on a night out and it is slim enough to fit in your pocket without being obvious. It also has 3G connection to get online and offers a special feature that lets you view traffic cameras and see motorway traffic.

This is definately a phone that will last, not just the flash in the pan latest gadget that doesn’t work properly, its namerd the 6500 classic and it is ‘classic’.
