How to Hard Reset — Nokia 6500
The Nokia 6500 is a 2002 device. It features a Monochrome graphic, 96.0x60.0 display and is available in Beige, four Xpress-on front-back covers as accessories.
The 6500 is equipped with a Removable Li-Ion 750 mAh battery (BLB-2). The device uses a Mini-SIM configuration. It weighs 88 g.
Hard Reset on the Nokia 6500 works differently than it does on Android, since this phone uses its own menus and terminology. Follow the steps below, written specifically for this device rather than adapted from Android instructions.
On this device this is just a forced restart/power-cycle — it does not erase data by itself. See Factory Reset for the data-erasing option.
Nokia 6500 is a basic phone, not a smartphone — it has no hardware button combination or recovery partition that wipes data, unlike Android or iPhone
The only way to erase its data is the in-menu Factory Reset — see that guide below
If it's completely frozen, remove the battery for 30 seconds (if removable) to force a restart, then try the Factory Reset menu
