Nokia 5140

Nokia 5140

REVIEW

Nokia faces off against Nextel with the new Nokia 5140, a Swiss Army knife of a phone that can do everything but light your campfire. Alas, this cool phone is still a bit of a work in progress: The phone hardware supports push-to-talk walkie-talkie features—but we we're still waiting for a U.S. GSM carrier to enable them.

Bottom Line

The Nokia 5140 is not exactly a push-to-talk walkie-talkie phone (à la Nextel), at least not yet. But it's the closest you can get on a GSM network, and its rugged nature will appeal to backyard Indiana Joneses.

Pros

Small and rugged. Unique outdoorsy features. Stellar 9-hour battery life.

Cons

Push-to-talk and IM functions don't work yet. Buttons can be hard to press.
