Nokia 5140
The Nokia 5140 is a ruggedised tri-band
GSM camera phone aimed at those with active
lifestyles, and it features several new
innovations that haven't been seen in a
Nokia handset before.
Firstly the basics - the Nokia 5140 is
dust, bump and splash resistant, has an
integrated FM radio, VGA resolution camera,
and a built-in flashlight. This is pretty
feature rich in itself, but the Nokia 5140
has even more.
Nokia are aiming the 5140 at people who
enjoy exercise and outdoor activity, so
the 5140 also comes with a built-in digital
compass, thermometer, decibel meter, a stopwatch
and interval timer, Fitness Coach application
and an optional Active Headset.

However, the really novel feature of
the Nokia 5140 is that it's the first GSM
phone in the world to feature push-to-talk,
which is a low-cost way of carrying out
one-to-one or group calls, carrying voice
data over the phone's built-in IP network
via GPRS or EDGE data connectivity. Push-to-talk
is done by a single button (there's also
one included on the headset) and this turns
the Nokia 5140 into something rather like
a walkie-talkie.
Physically, the Nokia 5140 measures 107x47x24
mm (photo is approximate actual size
on a 72dpi monitor) and weighs 101 grams. The display is
128x128 pixels in 4096 colours. Battery
life is 2-5 hours depending on network with
a standby time of 6-12 days.
The 5140's camera is a 640x480 resolution
device, capable of recording video clips
as well as photographs, supported by an
image editor, gallery and of course the
5140 supports MMS multimedia messaging too.
Web browsing on the 5140 is done with
the built-in XHTML browser over GPRS, EDGE
or HSCSD data networks. There's a built-in
Java-based email client.
The Nokia 5140 rounds these features
off with Java applications, voice dialling,
polyphonic ringtones, custom wallpapers
and optional Xpress-on covers to customize
the phone.
