Nokia 9290 Communicator

Nokia 5140 would withstand dropping etc better than most phones, but has poor buttons and low quality camera. It has an option for a gps shell which is rather poor as it seems to loose satellite signal very easily. but if you want a rugged phone its hard to beat!

Discontinued bullet proof phone, have had mine for a few years, but have worn it out through work. Bought this one second hand, excellent condition to see me through for another couple of years. The only thing close on the market is the new JCB phone, but I like Nokia, you get used to the layout.

These reviews are on the model of phone not on any previous item sold by myself. The handset is designed as a tough phone with a few lower quality features such as camera but is a no messing durable phone. Would use one if was a builder etc. Jon

These phones are excellent if you just need one for making calls, ie not web surfing, emailing or listening to music, but it does have some quirky built-in extras that have come in very useful. There is a digital compass which has been great for someone with my poor sense of direction; a small LED torch, great for finding your way to your car in a strange car park; a one-touch voice recorder, saves having to write down notes; a sound meter (!). Not sure why they put that in but even that came in useful once when I was staying in a holiday flat that was incredibly noisy and I took a video to demonstrate to the owners exactly how high the sound levels were.

The handset's toughness is legendary. Mine gets dropped all the time but rarely goes wrong, and it has a 2 piece rubberised outer case that can be replaced very quickly and cheaply when it gets damaged. I bought my first 5140 nearly 4 years ago and am currently on my 3rd handset altho, to be fair, I lost the 2nd one. I like it so much that I have a spare ready for when this one eventually gives up the ghost.

phone was very cheap i bought it because i had one before it phone worked perfect and was described as it was.

The telephone is in very good contision. Thank you for fast shipping. it was take a few days to arrive in Cyprus. the package was very good. Thank you again.

The ever popular nokia 5140/5140i is a durable splash proof dust proof shock proof phone that has a reputation of toal reliability.
Since it's launch no phone has been able to match it until now as samsung and jcb have just launched similar items which fetch silly prices.This phone easily sells for around the £50-£60 mark and is well worth the money.
What with it's interchangeable covers that just pull off no messy trick recasing is needed.It's features are next to none and even provides entertainment with it's radio feature,it boasts camera,sound meter,torch,spirit level,fitness coach,compass,plus lots more so who needs anything else.
This phone is very popular with truckers,fitness people and especially builders.
I have no negative comments about this phone and recommend it to anyone who can put it through it's paces,if you see one at a good price buy it and you will never regret it.

Beside it being affordable, I bought this phone because it is durable: rubber facia, dust proof & shock proof. I also use the compass and stopwatch. I'm a cyclist and find these features important. I've also found the torch to be useful once. It does however feel and look like an old phone with it's small screen and long menus.

THIS PHONE I WOULD RECOMEND FOR MOST WORKMEN IN ROUGH WORKING CONDITIONS AS THIS PHONE WHEN ITS DROPPED IT DOES'NT BREAK.
IF YOU DO DECIDE TO GET THE PHONE I FEEL THAT YOU WONT BE USING THE CAMERA ON IT - AS ITS VERY UNCLEAR AND FUZZY.
I WOULD GIVE THIS PHONE A RATING OF 4/10.

ilike this phone as it does exactly what i want from a phone. there is nothing i dislike about this phone and got what i was looking for

I liked the fact that this model is durable robust and dust proof.

On this occasion the phone i purchased was faulty

Here is why:

- When my Nokia 5140 gets mucky I clean it under the tap.

- If it has paint splatters on it I use white spirit on it.

- When it falls in a bucket of water, (or worse) I take it out again, dry it/rinse it and keep using it.

- It records things I need to remember later,

- It takes photos of all the things I drop it in.

- the decibel meter is actually quite handy and fairly accurate!

- Oh yes, you can make phone calls with it too.
