The 5140i has failings, not least the durability of the screen but that said, I keep going back to it (bought in 2005 and going strong in 2010). I actually prefer this 'phone to my 'touch pad' Samsung. I want a 'phone that is practical, not one that has so many apps that it just becomes a 'must have' gadget to impress the easily impressed. If you can get hold of one I would recommend the 5140i as a good reliable 'phone.

I've had this phone for 5 years. I am a fitness freak, so all the features came handy. Even the sound level meter. Simple phone, that never fails. Dropped it quite a few times by accident. Not even a scratch. Two things have bothered over the years. One is the lack of bluetooth support. While driving it would be nice to just connect it to the car audio system and use the buttons on the steering wheel to make the calls. The other thing is the casing. On the bottom there is a rubber hatch that broke off after 4 years. Since the phone is old, finding a new casing was almost impossible. The more annoying comments I get from iPhone owners (like "that's cute, is it still working?"), the more I am determined to keep it till it actually falls apart.

I loved my 5140. I don't use it any more but it still works and like your previous reviewer I've been using the 5000 series phones since 2001. I replaced the phone with a 5500, which was a load of rubbish but had a much larger memory. Now I want a 5140 with a modern memory capacity. any ideas?

It's an o.k. phone with some handy features though these might not be so handy for everyone. As a site architect, I like the tough, rainproof case, the torch and the electro compass, the thermometer. The "push to talk" could also be good..........if I could find anyone else that had this facility. Downside. The key pad is less than good for text. Oh. The spirit level is rubbish. D

+ve very tough, small, easy to use water proof/resistant, torch, good looks. -ve if i were in need of a compass I wouldnt trust this one, nor the thermometer, sound meter or spirit level. I also wouldnt trust anyone who needs a spirit level and uses a phone. that said, i love this phone and recently swapped back to it after buying a 6500c

ive had one of these for the past 3 years, recently decided I should change to a cheaper contract and change phones while im at it. I got a nokia 6500classic in silver. hmm good looking phone, but it doesn't fill me with confidence like my old 5140. Im an active person and the phone stands up to anything you can throw it at. ok the features are poor, i never play the games, i wouldnt trust the compass, the sports schedule is a waste of memory, but i have used the spirit level and torch is handy. the camera is usable in a minor car accident and it works well as a phone which is all i wanted in the first place. if i wanted an i pod or a nice camera, ill get one. in all im gonna get myself a backup battery for when the current one dies and switch back to this great trusty projectile.

I love this phone. It's been with me for three years and has never let me down. I wish they increased the screen resolution to 208x208 like they did with the 6230i and pumped up the memory, but other than that, I have no complaints. The flashlight is still one of my favorite features, as are the changeable shells that can really withstand a lot. Regarding the improvements over the 5140 which I also have, there is theme support which makes the phone interface more colorful, better handling of files, more vivid but slightly dimmer screen, and faster, more intuitive response to user keypresses.

This phone hangs on my harness while I'm rock climbing. I've crushed it between me and rock countless times an quite often end up sitting on it, and it still live on just the same. It doesn't have all that many features but still more than I could want, the flashlight is handy thought. All in all a very solid phone.

It was OK for a little while but when it developed a fault and was sent to Nokia they returned it unrepaired saying 'we cannot repair your handset as it is out of warranty'. This means that the warranty actually begins at some unspecified time before the purchase date, and that when they deem it to be out of warranty they won't repair it.

I'm a student with a great desire for outdoor sports such cycling, running e.t.c. I used this phone for about two years and it took all the sand, shock and water i could ever offer it (In Dubai). It's screen broke when i was at a short trip in india (the airport) i was changing the sim and putting the case back to gether when i dropped it on the ground and it sustained screen damage. I am currently looking for a Lcd screen to replace it... But over all its a great phone except that it is bit low on the memory and features side.

I have that phone for one and a half year. Sometimes it resets itself [and then a messege i've been writing is delete]. sound of rings is quite poor, battery was standing something about 4-7 days, now it's only 2 days. you can use it with wet hands and in rain or something like that. Oh, and that plastic flap on the bottom, where are contacts [for the charger and so on] has fallen off. i like that phone but i'm going to buy nokia 5200:P

Just gave up my 5 month old 6300 and got this. I was a mistake to buy that phone. The 5140i is great. Its a relief to hold something without bothering about smudging/scratching/dropping/breaking it. Complaints about the keypad are baseless.. its gotta be hard to last. I don't really miss the mp3 player/bluetooth/2mpx camera much. The infrared is good enough to transfer stuff. Camera is also quite usable on a bright sunny day. For 100 $ (less accessories, in India), its a steal. Lets see how long it lasts. On the downside, mp3 ringtones don't always play well. The interface is sidey, looking like a cheap version of the series 40 third edition. This along with the missing features is a marketing gimmick (I think). If they made it any better, no one would buy other phones.
