I’ve finally found a phone that I’d be happy to own – the Nokia 5140. Rubber bits to stop shocks, water resistance if it gets splashed – great, everything I’ve been looking for. Then come the gadgets – camera, compass, torch, descibel meter ?!?. The Nokia 5140 is definitely the phone I now want. OK it might be getting a little dated, but not by more than 6-8 months. I’d still rather have this than a Pebl.
So in search of a Nokia 5140 I have a look round all the usual suspects in mobile phone sales – carphone warehouse, link, phones 4u – none of them have it listed, so it looks like I wont be able to upgrade to it. In desperation I’m looking to buy one now second hand off ebay. There are lots there, and who knows i might just get a bargain. If it’s everything it sounds like, and if I win one on ebay, and it’ll take my existing SIM, the Nokia 5140 could be the best phone I’ve almost had.
