Its' one downside is that you cannot upload recorded files onto a computer. But if you only need to record and play from the machine itself, it really is a great buy. (Those who want a similar entry level model that can upload files to a computer, take a look at the VN-5500pc.)
The VN-6500 has up to 30 hours of battery life and can store up to 600 hours of recordings on its' internal hard drive.
Black, stylish, very easy-to-use and dirt cheap - a great buy if you don't need to upload to a computer

Olympus VN-6500 review
PROS:
Low cost
Very easy to use
Looks good
CONS:
Can't upload files to a computer
No charger
STYLE:
The Olympus VN-6500 comes in an attractive black. It is solidly built but still feels lightweight, portable and pocket-sized. It has a good-sized dot matrix screen with well-spaced, easy-to-use controls.
POWER:
Two AAA batteries supplied
The VN-6500 comes with two AAA batteries. The batteries last for around 30 hours of recording.
OPERATION:
The VN-6500 couldn't be easier to use. The three large main buttons on the front tell the whole story - Record, Stop and Play. It's that simple. Further buttons give access to the main menu, a list of folders where recordings are stored and an erase button. Very straightforward - most people won't even need to read the instructions.
STORAGE/CONNECTIVITY:
The VN-6500 has an internal 1GB memory but no external memory/flash card capability. It also does NOT have a USB connection so files cannot be uploaded to a computer
VOICE ACTIVATED:
Basic voice activation functionality.
INCLUDED EXTRAS:
Two AAA batteries
Manual
