i would just like to say that i am a commando too. but i am still awaiting the baratillo response from Pawiks. from what i heard, i think this phone has a lot of features, like when im in the forest and get lost, but the disadvantage is that when i have lowbat, i cant use the compass.

I have had Nokia's only and have always loved them, but this phone has let me down. I got this phone in november 2004 and had it in for repairs 7 times in 5 months. The phone has a tendency to turn off for no reason and sometimes will not turn back on (thats why I had it repaired). Even under waranty Nokia would not replace the phone with a different phone. The last straw for me is when they replaced it with another 5140 (or so they said) and now it wont charge.

Honestly this is my first Nokia phone. When I first got it,I thought that it as and imitation. but when I got into the nitty gritty of the phone I realised that it was really a cool phone.The compass fitness coach was a cool gesture. Once u record u can ues it as a ringtone. Infared is very easy 2 use since thats all I do 2 get my new ringtones.The wallpaper can't get rid of it,totally bump proof fed up throwing it around.The only problems I have with it is that I can't get the red cading 4 the phone and the headset port should of been more stable it tends 2 come out alot,and should have more games like the beloved snake, tetris etc. and last but not least the camera some pictures does not come out clean and when u zoom u don't zoom in on the picture itself. All in all its a really cool picture

1) i had snuck the mobile in for the push to talk service that was availiable
2) i do not know why they shot aa guns at our platoon but it was probably through running out of ammunition. during the fire fight we thought that the enemy forgot to pull the trigger off their motars but they were actuall aa shells.

Nokia 5140 - Great idea, fantastic features, but let down by awful menu graphics and poor water-resistance.
Nokia's proprietary software was fast, responsive and uncomplicated; The market leader is now beaten flat by many other manufacturers who have taken advantage of the real benefits of Symbian - what went wrong!!??
Has anyone discovered if there is any way of getting rid of those damned wallpapers?!?

hi everybody
im also a former commando for the s.a.s.
this fone saved my life!
i was in a mission in iraq, but i never knew that the enemy was following us, suddenly we came under fire from an anti aircraft gun, i got split up from my platoon and i got lost in a wadi. i grabed my compass to determin my destination but it was broken, probably when i fell down. i used the digital compass on the fone, determined my position and was able to call in a helecopter. this fone saved my life, it was the best investment i made.

im a former s.a.s commando and this fone serverd me well, while i was in the training course i dropped this fone into -15 degree water and still it worked, i droped it from a 15m rope course and the phone still worked. i guess if i wasnt that clumsy then i wouldnt have found out its true potential.
its a great fone, supa strong!

My boyfriend got this phone because he works outdoors, & needed a durable phone. He dropped it & it wouldn't come back on. Sent it Nokia who said it was "beyond economical repair" & was "water damaged". Water damaged how i'd like to know, since the day he dropped it was bone dry! You're supposed to be able to attach this phone to the front of your bike. It would appear that is only recommended if the weather is good! Our opinion: A LOAD OF RUBBISH!

Love the phone, sound meter is great, everything perfect, except one thing! how the hell do you remove the blasted wallpaper with the lines through it? Ive turned off the wall paper option, but that only removes the thing from the main screen, not all the menus, is there a way to fix this? I have a DKu-5 cable and nokia software... there must be a way!

I'm an old Nokia 5100 user (more than 2 years) and I just got 5140. If you feel oready satisfy with 5100 so you'll be amazed by 5140. The sound meter is very usefull like usuall (I'm a sound engineer) so does the flashlight. The Compass is really cool. The durability is just awesome.
Too bad the screen, camera, video recorder is just so so. But still I love this 5140, it's really fits on me and my job. This is a cellphone that a field engineer should have. I gave 9 for overall score....
