The Nokia 5140i is a typical 40th platform device in the connection quality, it has no problems. The power of its vibracall is average or even a bit weaker (weaker as compares with usual 40th platform devices). The volume of its polyphonic call signal is low, it may be often missed.

The dimensions equal to the previous phone's ones (106.5x46.8x23.8 mm), the weight is 101 grams. Unlike the Nokia 5140 the device is provided in two colours.

The phone's design stresses its protected entity, flows of rubberized plastic on side surfaces, a catch closing an interface slot, a lining above the battery. These altogether makes a feeling the phone is protected from any disaster. Certainly, the protection level is much higher as compared with usual devices. However we recommend not throwing the phone against the wall or through the window on purpose. It may not bear such treatment. Throwing it into a bucket with water means saying good bye to the phone voluntarily. Since the device is pseudoprotected, that means it is not for too active use in aggressive conditions.

It's important to stress the Nokia 5140i shouldn't be considered as the one excelling the Nokia 5140, the differences are minimal and as for the body there they are absent at all. The main difference is 65K display; the previous model has a 4096 STN one.

The renewed screen is 128x128 pixels (28x28 mm), and a protective glass is a bit toned. Good quality of the picture is not provided even in spite of the 65K supported. The model looses to modern devices considerably in this parameter.

The VGA camera wasn't the most user-friendly we've seen. You can take pictures in 640x480 or 176x144 resolution and select from three quality settings. There's also a night mode, a self-timer, and a multishot option. There is no zoom or adjustable brightness setting, however, and the only shutter-sound choices are on and off. The Nokia records video with or without sound, but you can't edit the clips in any way. When finished, you can send your work via a data cable, the infrared port, or a multimedia message. You can also save shots and footage to the 5140's 4MB of shared memory.

The 5140i has a long stand-by time of 150-300 hours, with a talktime of 2-5 hours. The phone certainly had a long battery life in our tests, needing only one full charge in our two weeks of testing.

Nokia 5100, the 5140 has an FM radio with 12 station presets. Remember, though, that you'll need a headset to act as the antenna. Another oddity was the handset's fitness coach, which gives you a personalized exercise program after you plug in your height, weight, and so on

The 5140i only has 3.5MB of internal memory that is shared between texts, emails, calendar, pictures and more.
There is no card slot and Max 128KB Java per appl.
