Nokia 6500 Slide.

[Gohan]

Hi, I just downgraded from a N95 8GB to a 6500 Slide (waiting for the N96) now I know this phone is a little buggy but I’m having an unexpected problem. The camera quality is absolutely appalling! Even in perfect conditions the pictures come out like a vga camera, i.e. lots of dark pixelated patches on the image. (all the setting are correct, everything set to high etc...)

Just wondering if anyone else has this problem? And do you think it could be firmware related?

Cheers, Ryan.

if its within 30days then get a new one from the shop you got it from

My dad has this one and the pictures I've taken with it have been fantastic. Doesn't quite seem up to 3.2 standards as my 2.0 6300 is on a par but they are definetly better than VGA.

Sounds faulty, fire it back at them!

I've got this phone aswell and pics are really really good. Make sure you change the resolution in the settings, it might be set to VGA mode

Hi, thanks for the info. A firmware re-install fixed the problem in the end, I have to say though this is a buggy phone considering it's S40.
