I have this phone for over 10 months...and never dissapointed me...It happen many times to lose the phone on the floor...no problem, it`s robust, precise, and it's features are more than enough. Is a reliable phone..and I will change it only with an improved model of 51**. Thx.NOKIA

    I bought this phone and at first I was quite dissapointed. I mena the camera wasn't that good...but then I stopped and used my brain like most of you should do. Why do I need a camera? To take pictures of a car? Well there's this thing called Internet...you should have heard of it to be reading this post. Well I'm sure I could find any picture with better quality on the Internet. Ok imo they should have added bluetooth, but at least there's infrared. The compass is really cool..but well in my hands quite useless lol. The flashlight helps me a lot...and being a durable phone it's very good in my clumsy hands. The lower buttons are a bit too hard...but thank god soemone made a phone with decent buttons...not some small ones. And what's with the screen?? Do you need a high resolution to read numbers or names or sms/mms? The battery is quite good,not to the SE standard(God they're sooo good) but it's the second best imo. I wanted to ask if anyone who downloaded or transfered midi phones from pc/wap if they have worked for him...I think they should...cause I downloaded and transferred midi file, and the phone recognizes them as midis and their length...but when I try to play them they don't work...it says 'File corrupted'. I sent them via infrared to my mate and they worked fine for him...but when he transfered them back same problem...So is this normal? And if someone can tell me what I can do to solve this problem I would greatly appreciate it. Anyways this is a very good phone overall. I would have liked a bit more memory, but it's still very good.

      To Gabarq:
      the infrared works perfectly on this phone. Just like all other nokia phones. I've justed several times to transfer fotos, videos and ringtones from my laptop to the phone and vica versa.

            to cooper,
            m8 this phone can only do about15 sec. worth of video. there might be a way you can extend it but with it's limited memory 15 sec. would be all i'd like to take for videos anyway. if you want something that can take long videos than try the 6630 or 6230i (although i'm not sure if the 6230i can take a long video like the 6630). hope this helps. :)

                  The software of this phone sucks! I contacted Nokia and they don't want to fix my problem!

                      not a bad phone but they don't make a good tradesman phone anymore like the 6250 that could be drop from 10 metres. Its not compatable with 3g network and it should have bluetooth

                        Thanks Happyseller. I came accross ads in our local media where the 5140i was avertised as 3G... I`m still on my 5100 and looking desperately for a rugged 3G handset like a lot of you do I gather, that would be a real hit from Nokia, let`s hold thumbs..

                          Hi there! I'm George from Athens, Greece. I've had in the past Nokia 5100 and Siemens M65. Nokia had problems with the microphone; Siemens used to switch off by itself. I want to buy a new phone; I'm thinking Nokia 5140i and Siemens M75. What do you think?

                            to texusruan, sorry mate, this phone is not 3G compatable so you couldn't use it as a 3G modem. it is a tradesmans phone not a business phone so i'd give that bloke who sold it to you a bit of a earbashing as well bernd. if you wanted a "business" phone that you can receive e-mails on (if you need it for that sort of reason) i would have suggested a blackberry phone or something like that. anyway this is still a good phone:)

                              Can anyone tell me if the 5140i can handle video calls and be used as a 3G modem ?
                              Thanks

                                  The phone is very good and I don't know why are voting results so low. Price is not big, the cover are the best and you have anything what need. I bought this phone few days ago and I really like it. Buy this phone if you want something diffrent of usuall phone, don't forgot: this have anything what have todays phones! Lucky croatian

                                    Btw, I forget to mention that really cool Nokai 5140i standby feature. The level meter is also an illuminated signal beacon, rather like a lighthouse. In the dark it looks great as it softly beacons on and off. Just one thing puzzles me, if anyone can help: How do I assign a custom message tone from the Message Tones Gallery? The Profiles menu seems to allow selection only from "types" of tones, from Standard, Special, etc. But I want to set an actual custom tone. Where in the phone menus can I do that, anyone know?

                                      Nokia 5140i is Series 40 phone designed for outdoor activity. For that it has compass, thermometer, level meter and sports application. It is dust and splash resistance, not proof (there is a difference). For those who complain about lack of Bluetooth and memory for e.g. downloading games, the reality is there is simply no phone that has everything, there is no such Universal segment. You can of course be a Multiple Device Owner if you need to satisfy all your mobile demands. But for my needs, the Nokia 5140i has what I need, and I don't need everything.
