Nokia 5140

WHY I BOUGHT IT My 6310i is no longer made. A phone I bought for its ease of use, GPRS, Bluetooth , Infrared, calendar and the ability to connect it to a computer and back it up, change things, write texts etc. ….oh, and make calls of course :o) TIP I am no fashion victim and just like phones you do not notice so I found a black replacement case from eBay. Good news, it fitted. Bad news, it was loose and can fall of easily and (less importantly) its missing the spot bubble (used for levelling the phone for the compass). COMPARED WITH 6310i It does pretty much everything except Bluetooth (www.blueunplugged.com do an adaptor though). ...  Read the complete review

I'm not normally one to join in the frantic scramble to upgrade my mobile to the latest/greates/slightly different coloured model. In fact until last weekend, I obtained a smug satisfaction from knowing that I'd had the same phone for over 2 years!!! Which is not to say that I am a particularly smug individual. Far from it, in fact.

Are you sick of dropping your phone and having it fall to pieces in public? If so this phone is ideal for you.

The temperature is displayed on the top right hand corner of the screen and is accurate of course. It's brilliant and I love mine, I've had it for over a year, the longest I've ...  Read the complete review

Lost count of the number of phones I’ve broken in the past, but this phone stands the test. Sturdy and strong, it also has the walkie talkie feature that looks set to really take off in future. If you like the outdoor life then this really is the phone for you. There’s even a digital compass so you’ll know you’re always heading in the right direction. Bought this from FoneShop.com and they gave me (free) the Xpress-on GPS housing (a satellite positioning gizmo) so you can never have the excuse that you don’t know where you are. Love ...  Read the complete review
