My last phone Nokia 3120 after a 2 yr use it went dead, so I decided to buy a new phone. my budget was between 5000-6000. I went to a couple of shops but finally ended up in a Nokia priority shop where they showed me Nokia 5140i. I loved the phone at first sight, Looks like one of the cell phones which were first introduced in india. but then I realsed its pretty sporty.
Its has a slip on cover. the whole of bottom cover slides down to reveal the internals. The battery compartment has an extra flap type mechanism which protects it from dust and water. The Body is Splash, Dust and Scratch Resistant.
Features:
Fully functional Digital Compass(really cool)
Thermometer( works but is faulty due to phone generating heat)
Fitness Coach(manages ur timing and calories burnt etc etc while u exercise, not very helpful)
Games(adventure and bowling.really bad)
Flash light(good)
Stereo FM(Good Sound especially ear phones)
VGA Camera(okay types camera)
Sound recorder(record anything and make ur ringtone. cool type)
Sound meter(tells u the level of sound in environment)
Push To Talk( im not sure but I dont think this service is avialable in india)
Infrared
To test the phone for durability I fell from 4th floor while flying kite. I broke my ribs and pelvic bone . damaged my liver and spleen. I had phone in my pocket. not a scratch. Im still in the hospital writing this review.
Battery life is fine. only the camera dains the battery.
FM is really nice(sound quality)
keypad is not bad. some keys are little soft than the other but after some use they work fine.
even the connectivity socket and charging socket has a flap for protection.
Its like aTank fully covered.
Although I just bought it but I like it.
