gigjas: The radio antenna is in the headset,I think, hence it needs to be plugged in to work. As to the radio as an alarm clock, you need an external speaker, eg. the Nokia MD1 music stand, see http://www.nokiausa.com/nokia_accessories/item_details/1,2305,product:MD-1,00.html

I love my newly bought 5140i BUT two things bother me. I can only send one picture attached to each email. Is this fixable? If not it is expensive for me to transfer pictures to my IBook one at a time....TECHNOHELP PLEASE..... I also don´t understand why the headset must be plugged in for the radio to work. I never use the friggin headset, the loudspeaker was one of the reasons I bought this phone. The alarm clock can be set to radio and it is possible to set it to loudspeaker, but if the phone is not connected to the headset it rings the standard alarm!!

Help me good ppl!
I'm using Siemens ME45 from 4 years and it is time to change it. The side buttons (2,4,7,3, 6,9,*,#) got a little frayed and it does not look good.
I am thinking about 5140i.. and i want to ask the owners - does this phone looks like it will work for about more 3 years, at least?
I am sentimental and I heat to change my personal surrounding too often.

I used to have a Siemens ME45 and then switched to this one...very bad decision. For durability, splashproofness, dustproofness etc. the ME45 beats this one by miles. The 5140i looks sturdy but it's not, so I'm considering switching back to Siemens, this time to the ME75, a far better choice if you want a phone that can take a hit and still work...

I had the 5140 for about 18months. It worked well, took a bit of a beating etc. The only problem is that the rubber flap at it's base pushes on the charger and slowly wrecks the pop port. As it is an all in one (for dust proofing) you can't fix it. NOT HAPPY. I'd suggest ripping that rubber base flap off on day one and enjoy the use of an otherwise decent phone.

I am also about to buy an 5140i. I searched for it at californiacomputer and found out a price of 150$. But they are selling 5140 for 175$. Its kinda wierd. But I guess 150$ is a good price for such a good phone.
I guess it will get cheaper buy release of 5500..

this phone isn't water proof. Its water, dust and shock resistant. Although a lot of time it can get pretty wet it can be damaged by water and not work

The Nokia 5140i is indeed a top phone. It's not a flashy handset but then again it doesn't need to be because of who its aimed at. The basic functions are typically 'Nokia' i.e. relatively straight forward and easy to use, although as can be expected the camera and screen res are a little rubbish. I had this phone for 2 years before it finally packed up and in that time it took a serious beating through various bashes and drops. The various 'special' features of this phone are interesting if a little useless (the compass tends to be dicey and the torch is dim when compared with the latest SonyEriks), but that aside its great. 5140 does what it says on the tin, its tough and will still call out after you 'accidentally' lob it off the wall after a phone call to the missus.
