    An excellent phone. Battery takes approx 45min to fully charge from dead and lasts about a week. Very durable and simple to use. a good buy

          this phones pretty cook
          just it was really easy to crack the screen, i cracked it about a week that i had got it.
          i really like that it has a camera attachment and the headphones to listen to the radio and it has a speaker.

            Hi! I Am Using This Phone at 1 Year Ago and this is a very cool phone. The Infrared Only Work With Contacts and Notes With Other Phones and I Think it's because the phone is ''Nokia Series 40 1st Ed.''. GoodBye For Everyone !

              Hi all,
              I am using this phone for 3 months till now. It is wonderfull phone!
              I had SiemensC55 and Nokia1100 and I am not very pleased with them. I bought this phone at second hand and until now I did not have any problems with it.
              The phone has a good anti-shock system. The torch availability is very important for me- very usefull in many situations. The sound meter is not so usefull utility but it works on noisy environment. I change the SIM card at least 3 times a day and the phone just continues to work.
              Well done Nokia.
              Kind regards.

                        i bought this phone off ebay at xmas and everything was going great till the weekend when it turned itself off and wont turn on. If you switch it on it just glows for a dew secs and switches off again. Ive tried charging it and removing the battery for a bit but it dpesnt work. This was a great phone till now.
                        Anyone got any ideas?

                              To Steve and Marwan

                              The infrared is on the bottom half of the phone on the right side. if u see the keys 9 and #, between those keys on the right side of the phone where the blue pattern stops for about half a centimetre and then starts again, thats here the infrared is.

                              Marwan, save all ur contacts in your phone book to thephone, not to the sim card. once they r onto the phone, you choose if u want to save people's numbers as home work mobile fax etc. go to names, then to settings, then to memory in use, and then click phone. then u can have multiple numbers under one name

                                    Great phone !! I'm using it for 2.5 years & I'm a sound engineer. The flashlight & sound meter from 5100 is THE MOST usefull tools for me. The sound meter in loud noise setting is accurate enough when I compare it with Neutrik Minilyser overall SPL C-weighting (the 5100 usually 2 dB lower). But I often use it for checking the broken driver / out of phase between multiple drivers that usually found in subwoofers. The durability is just awesome. The flashlight is just okay, brigther is always better, but it's okay. The thermometer is accurate. I'm a very busy person, so I need a quick keypad / system response for a quick execution SMS. 5100 is the best cellphone for that ! You can abuse it but it still works perfect and helps your work.
                                    I'm buying the new 5140, let's see how is it going comparing with 5100.....

                                      Nice outdoors Phone, but if you mess with the casing. and the pads or key extensions misalign, it would be hard to turn on/off or use the key pads. Make sure the shell cover is shoot to the inside mechanism. The IR is on the lower right side.
