The Nokia 6500 is a candy bar-style mobile phone released in 2009. The 6500 has a small feature list, including 1GB of internal memory, Bluetooth compatibility and a 2 megapixel camera. Although it doesn't have all of the features of many high-end mobile phones, the 6500 is fine for consumers who regularly need to make phone calls and send messages.
Voice Dialing
The 6500 allows users to create a voice command for dialing specific contacts. The user records the name of the contact and then assigns the voice command to the contact's number. This feature is especially useful when using a hands-free device, such as a headset. To record the contact's name, select "Menu," "Settings," "Phone," "Voice Recognition" and "Recognition Lang." After recording the name, you will be prompted to assign it to one of your contacts. Make sure you are in a quiet environment when recording the voice command, and to use a full name.
When you want to make a call, repeat the voice command exactly as you recorded it into the phone.
Shortcuts
You can save functions that you use regularly to the two soft keys on the keypad, located under the screen. This can save you from navigating through several menus to use a feature. For example, if you send a lot of text messages, you can set the left or right soft key so that it opens the text messaging menu. To set a shortcut key, select "Menu," "Settings," "My Shortcuts" and "Left Selection Key" or "Right Selection Key." A list of the phone's functions will pop up on the screen. Using the navigation buttons, select a function to apply it to the soft key.
Backup
The 6500 allows you to create backups of the data saved on your phone. This is useful if you want to keep a list of your contact information on a remote server, in case there is a malfunction with your phone and you lose your data. Your data will be stored on a remote server, and you can access it according to login information you set up. To back up your data, select "Menu," "Settings" and "Sync and Backup." You will be given a choice to back up your data to another phone or to a remote server. Choose the remote server and select "OK." You should back up your contact list often if you regularly change or add to the list.
