The Nokia 6500 Slide has a user replaceable battery and a SIM card. If you wish to access either of these components, you'll need to remove the phone's back cover. On some phones, the back cover panel simply slides on. On the Nokia 6500 Slide, you must press a release key to unlock the back cover panel. This allows you to remove the panel to view the battery and SIM card.
