This is the coolest-looking phone ever made. Not everyone had this phone, and I love the rubber shells, flashlight and toughness. Everytime I see someone else use this phone (which is very rare), I end up missing my 5100. I have the 5140 (along with an N73) now and am awaiting the arrival of a 5140i, which I ordered online. The 5100's specs are outdated now, but it does the basics like texting, calling and sending mms very well.

The memory cannont be expanded the phone was released in 2003 at the time 725kb memory was considered the normal. Best advise UPGRADE your phone.

I have had this cell for the last 3 years and i'm getting a bit tired of it. Yes, it's very durable and resistant, but the keypad has become so horrible to use that I have to struggle 5 minutes to type a 3 word sms. Other than that, it's pretty good. I dropped it for tens of times and it still functions superbly. However the battery life has diminished considerably from 6-7 days to about 2 and a half. Anyway... the keypad killed it in my opinion

Terrible phone,the day I got it I switched it off and couldnt switch it back on,was sent for a repair,has constant freezes and you dont realise your phone isnt working very bad for business.It switch itself off once and I was near a vodafone store,3 of us tried to get it to work pulled the thing apart would not come back on I was told I needed yet another repair........15 minutes later I thought Id try and turn it back on and it actually worked,the girls in the shop couldnt believe it when I went back and showed them they thought it was a great phone and I was making up all the software stories piece of crap phone with lousy service from Nokia

yes people... i forgot to mention... sometimes when i'm in a call there is a screeching noise. When U hold the phone away from U U could still hear it. If the headset is connected I wouldn't hear the screech but the other person still hears it. I've never heard it on loudspeaker, but then again, the screech comes and goes. I don't kno what causes it but this phone has been through some rough times! It would be cost-efficient to buy a new phone rather than fixin it. plus de keypad drives me crazy... but all in all its a grat phone... Hello fellow trinis!

i've had this phone for 2 1/2 years. I love it! Dis phone indestructable. lol. My only problem is the keypad. It takes alot of patience to use this keypad, else U could go mad! Maybe that's why nokia made this phone almost indestructible! The keypad make U wanna throw the phone into a wall and then stamp on it! U gotta press it real hard and sometimes U would select something without meaning to! All kinna madness... But other than the keypad, this phone made for people who live a rugged lifestyle... not the "pretty" people...

Wow!! These fones cant break!!! I've had mine 4 almost 3 years now... It has fallen a gazillion times, been thrown across a room into a wall more than 3 times, been in a pool, and now the power switch has broken off, so it has to be switched on with a screwdriver, but it just wont die. Really is a pity there isn't really a replacement (except 4 the 5140 which i don't like). The fones look was just so different when it came out.
