If you check Nokia 5140 on most e-bay sites you will find dozens of new unlocked ones at reasonable prices being offered by Hong Kong vendors who will ship it to you

Does anyone know how to change the main menu display on a 5140? I just picked up a used one on e-bay as I liked the features and hated my new Motorola with passion, but I don't like the icons display when you push menu button, want to change to plain text as I do know how to read! Can't seem to find anything in the instruction book on this.
Also funnily it doesn't seem to want to read my address data stored on Sim card, I hate the idea that I am going to have to stick the sim into the motorola and write all the numbers out. Any ideas?

what a cool phone, especially if you are into extreme sports like mountain biking, just chuck it in your pocket and yer don't have to worry about it, very very loud ring tone.

I have owned a 5140 for 2 years and only had to replace the display twice. My fault on both occassions. Good phone if you only want a practical phone. Now looking at the 5140i as a replacement. Reason for replacing the phone, the keypad is wearing out, (touchy buttons) and battery is not holding a charge long enough.

what the f...k are you arguing about? That its camera is not good enough or its memory is not big enough? this phone was not made for makeing photos, or listening to music. if you want to make good photos, get a camera and if you want to listen to music, get an mp3 player. this phone has long battery life, its signal is very good and its extremely resistant to shock. it has a thermometer, flashlight, compas, etc. what else do you need? if you want to have fun, buy a sony ericsson, its cheaper, maybe better looking, but you drop it once and its f...ked and you will have to recharge it every 2nd day.
so don't talk that much, see the facts.

I've had this phone for a year and it's survived and thrived.(where others have not) I work as a landscaper and a bit of water is unavoidable. It's never been a problem with this phone. It's also been dropped many times and once again, not a problem. I like the flashlight feature as well and it's helped me out on more than one occasion. Mine also has the soundmeter, which sounds funny, but it's great if your having a party and the neighbors complain about the levels. A good way to get your guest to be quieter too.(lol)

This thing is not waterproof at all! Mine did not even survive 3 min. in the washing machine. (the time it took me to hear the rattling) This phone is still OK, besides the bad camera, terrable compass and stupid training programs. But it has very good battery life (if you don't use the LED light at all)

when I bought this phone I was told it was water proof, I went diving with friends and when I took it out of my diving suit and tried to make a call my wife couldnt understand a word I was saying, is there something wrong with my phone or is there a whole new underwater language we need to learn?

Well - after a month of use I want to change it ... The antenna isn't great, dialog partners complain about he quality of sound. The display is difficultly visible in bright enrironment (sunlight). The keypad isn't comfy - one needs to push hard.
The gadgets (compass, thermometre) etc and the rubber case are cool anyway.
I stick to Nokia but this model is not for me.

The rubber cover started to wear/tear after 3 months average town use and the warranty does not cover the outside part of the phone -huh Keyboard to small but they have given you spirit level incase you need to hang a bookshelf during sports activities or driving etc. Battery life not to good either. PASS you should.

Promises much delivers some all in squishy and disappointing fashion. Clever gadgets give way to cumbersome toys and the GPS mapping is very poor. Two months and replaced. Think again and buy elsewhere!
