I do not beleive mine eyes!

Qutoe:Do not drop this phone on its back!!!

I think you dropped it on it's back on purpose to try and claim on warranty yes!

Quote:I broke my screen this way, and another 5140i owner told me he similarly broke his speakerphone.

More evidence! You and your friend were in league with each other!

Quote:It is not as durable as you might expect. It also has very poor warranty support by Nokia.

Oh yes! Nokia have more IQ that you, they saw through your feindish plan to scam them via warranty and send you packing!

Quote:The screen is too dark to read when it is not backlit.

You need yours eyes testing!

Quote:The operating system is horrible to use.

You need to take a computer course!

Quote:The thermometer is so slow to react, it will measure the temperature in you pocket for 15 minutes after you take it out.

It has a thermometer??? OMG! This phone rocks my world!!

Quote:The earpieces aren't well designed to fit human ears.

Your ears must be oddly shaped!!

Quote:Do NOT buy this phone. It blows.

You blow!!

Do not drop this phone on its back!!! It will likely break when dropped from modest heights (1-2ft). It has no rubberised protection on its back. I broke my screen this way, and another 5140i owner told me he similarly broke his speakerphone. It is not as durable as you might expect. It also has very poor warranty support by Nokia.

The buttons are fiddly and small, particularly the on/off button. The screen is too dark to read when it is not backlit. The operating system is horrible to use. The thermometer is so slow to react, it will measure the temperature in you pocket for 15 minutes after you take it out. The earpieces aren't well designed to fit human ears.

Do NOT buy this phone. It blows.

If you check Nokia 5140 on most e-bay sites you will find dozens of new unlocked ones at reasonable prices being offered by Hong Kong vendors who will ship it to you

Does anyone know how to change the main menu display on a 5140? I just picked up a used one on e-bay as I liked the features and hated my new Motorola with passion, but I don't like the icons display when you push menu button, want to change to plain text as I do know how to read! Can't seem to find anything in the instruction book on this.

Also funnily it doesn't seem to want to read my address data stored on Sim card, I hate the idea that I am going to have to stick the sim into the motorola and write all the numbers out. Any ideas?

Mp3 ringtones and massive 3.5mb storage. Laughable.

what a cool phone, especially if you are into extreme sports like mountain biking, just chuck it in your pocket and yer don't have to worry about it, very very loud ring tone.

I have owned a 5140 for 2 years and only had to replace the display twice. My fault on both occassions. Good phone if you only want a practical phone. Now looking at the 5140i as a replacement. Reason for replacing the phone, the keypad is wearing out, (touchy buttons) and battery is not holding a charge long enough.

what the f...k are you arguing about? That its camera is not good enough or its memory is not big enough? this phone was not made for makeing photos, or listening to music. if you want to make good photos, get a camera and if you want to listen to music, get an mp3 player. this phone has long battery life, its signal is very good and its extremely resistant to shock. it has a thermometer, flashlight, compas, etc. what else do you need? if you want to have fun, buy a sony ericsson, its cheaper, maybe better looking, but you drop it once and its f...ked and you will have to recharge it every 2nd day.
so don't talk that much, see the facts.

I've had this phone for a year and it's survived and thrived.(where others have not) I work as a landscaper and a bit of water is unavoidable. It's never been a problem with this phone. It's also been dropped many times and once again, not a problem. I like the flashlight feature as well and it's helped me out on more than one occasion. Mine also has the soundmeter, which sounds funny, but it's great if your having a party and the neighbors complain about the levels. A good way to get your guest to be quieter too.(lol)

This thing is not waterproof at all! Mine did not even survive 3 min. in the washing machine. (the time it took me to hear the rattling) This phone is still OK, besides the bad camera, terrable compass and stupid training programs. But it has very good battery life (if you don't use the LED light at all)
