As far as I know there's nothing like that for a java-based phone such as the 6500s.

Re: how to use mobile camera 6500 slide as webcam

Nokia 6500 and many other Nokia models use the Series 40
software platform. According to
http://www.forum.nokia.com/Resources_and_Information/Explore/Software_Platforms/Series_40/
it is "the world's most widely used mobile device platform".

Many of the phones have a camera and they are even able to
do video calling (video telephony), e.g. Nokia 3120 classic,
as they have a front camera also.

I'm sure many users of such phones (including me) would like
to have an application that would turn the phone into a
webcam device for a PC.

Dear Miss, it appiers you have so many deficultys and the best way is just go and buy a web cam and connect it to your USB and use it ,you can find it on line under $10.00 USD ,apps will cost you more and they dont work , for mor info try the nokia.com
The only thing necessary for the triumph of evil , is for good men to do nothing .

Re: how to use mobile camera 6500 slide as webcam

Dear rabi,

a phone camera usually has better resolution than a $10 webcam (which you can also carry with you when you are mobile).
The Nokia PC Suite has drivers that enables using a Nokia phone with a Series 40 software for Internet connection.
It would be nice that the PC Suite also has a driver for using the phone camera as a webcam.

@missena06 I haven't tried this application myself, but it should work on the Slide. It's called SmartCam and works on Java enabled mobiles. It's free from Phoload. Might be worth a try.

Interesting. The 6500 slide is listed as compatible.
