On the slide at the end where the power plugs in is a small square that has the symbol for "eject" on (triangle with line under it). You press that in and one edge of the cover pops up. Might need something to press it in as it's a bit small for fingers to do.

a gentle push at the middle of the upper part of the battery cover and slide the cover downwards. Exactly as shown on the manual. Hope you get it sorted.

I think this is the 6500 Slide you are talking about.....

I've had this problem. The easiet way I find is to grab the phone in both hands, one hand near the top on the metal casing and one near the bottom around the plastic casing then just pull it apart. Not ideal but works for me.
