    • Good: The internet is the only cool thing.
    • Bad: Everything except the internet.

    this phone has given me a lot of trouble for at least 2 years. So if you want trouble, go for this phone.

    it's good, 5140i too. I need it more and more.
    but there is trouble when I plug my handsfree and charge it, the bottom rubber case always broken, and this case expencive for me.

    • Good: plenty of useful features
    • Bad: limited battery life after 12 months of correct useage

    disappointed that after 18 months of moderate work, no drops etc it has completley collapsed and will not operate at all, displayed 'Contact Service' after a month of erratic operation.

    • Good: just magick, compass, flashlight, thermometer, sound meter, diary functions.
    • Bad: had it for nearly two years, the only regret is my handsfree sets always c#*p out at the junction coming out of the phone

    bloody great phone

    just a great phone, love to listen to the radio while working as a mobile saw miller, terrific to take pics of things while milling

    Does it come with a block of flats?

    This phone combined with the GPS Shell is basically all you need for a survival trip! great features. in fact the 5140i is even better with a 64k colour screen and some other awesome features

    The tradesman special

    The phone is great to knock around. Some features are great and others are prety standard. It makes calls and you can take calls. What more do you really need.
