My customer recently replaced this 5140 with a Sonim XP1, as the Nokia doesn't have bluetooth for the driving headsets.

Its highly durable - i've thrown it off the floor (forcefully) numerous times, tried to burn it, drown it in a puddle and it has survived almost totally unscathed. Yes the screen could be better, there is no bluetooth, only one poor game, and some lame ringtones but overall its excellant. I've had my 5140 for about 4/5 years now and still don't want to change to a newer model

I've had this phone for four years and it still works like day 1. The memory isn't much and the camera is outdated now, but it's still great for calling and texting. The flashlight is useful and the tough, changeable shells are a great idea. It's been with me everywhere and has survived a washing machine and a drop in the tub. I had the 5100 before this which I also loved, but the buttons were tougher to press on the older model.

dear nokia , i'm desperately looking for the nokia 5140 , it has been discontinued in south africa , and that was the only model that was ''danie-proof'' . danie is my husband , one of our countries' whale watching operators , and with being out at sea and on the beach daily , the 5140 is THE phone that has lasted the longest .i urgently need another , even if it means oredring it from abroad ,or alternativel you can let me knoe if there is a similar model which will be as durable in south africa.sadly i must say our customer service in south africa is not the best ,and if only cell phone shops can direct you what to buy , but the shop assistants just pull up their shoulders when we ask for this model , if i explain what kind of work my husband does , and that he cannot have these fancy little phones ,they are not very helpful in suggesting an alternative. please can you email me . we have contracts with autopage in south africa .my husband doesn't need anything fa ncy , but this phone was definitely the MOST hardy of all phones he's had over 12 years .

The phone is great for the outdoors and so on, but in the first few months of having my phone, i had to have it fixed three times due to software problems, After 2 years I still have the same phone, exept now my camera will not function, it just vibrates now, none of my tones or recordings work, and it looses reception atleast 4 or 5 times an hour for a couple of minutes each time, which becomes really frustrating if you taking a call. What I'm trying to say is that, it seems that nokia spent all their time making sure that it was rugged externally, and forgot all about the internal problems the phone may encounter.

Great phone. Shame that it is not indestructable. It didn't take too kindly to falling off the roof of a moving car at 50mph and then being run over by the one behind! Suprisingly however the sim card did survive. The phone itself is easy to use, like all Nokias. However the buttons are a
bit tough to text with. The camera is not that great but all the other features more than make up for it. Thermometer, compass, torch and for some reason a decibel meter. The only use for the decibel meter that I could find was to see who could shout the loudest with my friends. If you like to have a phone with all the small gadgets then this is the one for you. The only thing that it is missing however is a tooth pick.

purchased this phone on 31/10 . found it to be very good, good USEFUL features such as radio, thermometer, compass and soundometer. Also a torch. The screen is ok but when you use the camera, what you see on the screen does not represent the quality of the image, it is infact better, i emailed a pic to an email address and it looked better. This phone comes with many features you wouldnt think were useful but are. One thing, do not put the plastic stand attachment on the phone as you cannot get it off, i had to use a knife to get it off, scratching the back of the casing. Good phone overall, battery is protected with a rubber cover. i would recommend this phone to anybody.

I have just argued with my service provider, wh02 will remain un-named, i have a 6600 and to be honest, it is like having a very badly constructed housebrick in my pocket. The 6600 broke! the camera stopped working and the little joystick mjigger failed to work in a down direction making the phone a pain in the arse to use. So i asked if i could "downgrade" to a 5140 because it has the GPS option. They said "no". to which i said: "this will cost you less money than giving me a free replacement." In the end they gave in and i have my 5140, which is great. It sends txts, stores numbers, takes photos of people i have never met when i am in the pub and is immune to beer spillage! I say well done Nokia - this is a true drinkers phone!!

Lost count of the number of phones I've broken in the past, but this phone stands the test. Sturdy and strong, it also has the walkie talkie feature that looks set to really take off in future. If you like the outdoor life then this really is the phone for you. There's even a digital compass so you'll know you're always heading in the right direction. Bought this online and got (free) the Xpress-on GPS housing (a satellite positioning gizmo) so you can never have the excuse that you don't know where you are. Love it.

Have no problems with the phone and pictures taken with cam when downloaded to pc look v good. Word of warnikng though, I purchased this phone specifically to transfer data from polar heart rate monitor, I have it on Orange and orange will NOT let you download the required software even though it is made on behalf of Nokia. Bloody frustrating as I have all the hardware but not the software. Oranges advice:- Dont know what your talking about, cant help, try carphone warehouse. Arrogant Knobs. Phone great though and hook over ear headphones for Radio a plus for running!!

I Traded in my old Nokia 5100, and got B20 trade in, I put that towards a #29 Bluetooth adapter (just a little add on that plugs into the bottom) so the Bluetooth does not come as standard but you can get it. Good design suits my "clumsy" attitude towards phones, I tend to finish a phone call then without thinking throw the thing on the table etc&, so far no problems, although I must admit it does not seem as rock steady as my old 5100, but time will soon see how though this phone is! Camera quality is ok, not amazing, but what do you expect with the size of the screen and all the other functions, for better pictures go spend #100 on a Sony digital camera, that's what there made for! This phone does what I need, withstands my punishment of throwing about etc...Has Bluetooth and makes calls! I'd recommend it, for me most other phones just look like they will break in seconds, especially the flip ones!

I had this phone for a week and I think that's good phone but I am not happy with it. I like : 1. Features like compass,light, sound meter and radio. 2. Dessign classical, functional and resistant. Missing : 1. Assign a ringtone per contact. 2. More compatible midi files. I've dowloaded a lot of midi files and 25% of them are compatible. 3. Relation fetures and price = expensive. 4. Cable to conect PC not included and you must buy a nokia expensive cable if you want a 100% compatible one. USB 2.0 conection. I think there are no movile phones with it
