Advantages: Good time rock'n'roll with a large drop of blues added for good measure Disadvantages: Very samey with lyrics that are sometimes hideous
Whitesnake, for those not in the know, are a rock band formed in the seventies from the splintered remains of Deep Purple. Ritchie Blackmore had already departed the sinking ship and had formed 'Rainbow', Ian Gillan, who had quit many moons before the band croaked, had begun 'Gillan' (sometimes it makes you wonder where they get the names for these bands from!) and so David Coverdale, libido in hand, packed his bags and set up camp under the banner of Whitesnake. And yes, the name does refer to his?.shall we say, manhood?
The 'Purps', following their long, protracted illness eventually succumbed to the inevitable and gave up on their will to live and gave birth to the band, or frontman to be more precise, that would in turn launch the much-lauded 'cock rock'; a phrase relating to the amount of sexual innuendo and suggestive come ...
Advantages: feels robust and does everything a good phone needs to Disadvantages: heavy, battery life
After almost 2 years of using the same old handset my network finally decided I was able to claim an upgraded handset as long as extended my contract.
The choice I preferred was always going to be a Nokia as any I'd had previously had been better than other brands Id used, and one of the newer options avaliable was this the 6500 slide.
As Im with Orange I had the option of the new black version or the original silver, I chose the black simply because they had itin stock at the time.
On receiving the handset my intial impressions were about its weight and size. With a predominantly metal casing it feels robust and obviously metal increases the weight. The front of the phone has a large colour screen and the four large buttons with the central navigation button. Slidingit open you have a relatively small number pad which is ...

Ciao members have rated this review on average: very helpful Review of Nokia 6500 Slide
Advantages: Does the basics very well. Great looks and form factor. Disadvantages: Easily scratched.
with a swanky-looking Nokia 6600 Slide (so much for not looking flash!).
IN THE BOX
I bought the phone on a 24-month pay monthly contract, so it was ?free?. However, if you wanted to buy the unit separately without a contract, it would set you back £249 from Carphone Warehouse. However, the model is already a year old, and as such, you can get them new elsewhere at a significant discount, or acquire them second hand for a fraction of the cost. The top opening box includes the phone, the manual, a mains charger, a data cable to enable connection to a PC, a set of in-ear headphones (the ear canal types with rubber ear buds that sit inside your ears) with three sizes of ear buds, and a special adapter which plugs into the USB port which allows it (and the headphones) to double as a hands-free kit. More on the accessories later. In addition to ...

Album Notes
Cassette available on Geffen Goldline (4018). NOTES: Whitesnake: David Coverdale (vocals); Mel Galley (guitar, background vocals); John Sykes (guitar); Jon Lord (keyboards); Neil Murray (bass); Cozy Powell (drums, background vocals). Additional personnel: The Fabulasa Brothers, Jimmy, Ben, Erik, Baru-Baru, Jools, Jane (background vocals). 1984's SLIDE IT IN was the first album that showed that Whitesnake was truly attempting to make it big in the U.S. Its sound was becoming more radio-friendly, but still retained the biting hard rock edge present on its earlier albums--new guitarist John Sykes also proved to be the perfect foil for ex-Deep Purple frontman David Coverdale. The set features such boisterous rockers as the album-opening title track, the grinding "Slow an' Easy," and the melodic "Love Ain't No Stranger." Although there was a 3-year break after SLIDE IT IN (during which Sykes would leave the band), the album set the stage perfectly for Whitesnake's eponymous 1987 worldwide mega-hit.
Album Reviews
Record Collector (magazine) (p.99) - 4 stars out of 5 -- "[A] sumptuous feast of melodic hard rock, with the ex-Deep Purple frontman on impressive form throughout, backed by his crack band."
