camera phone, adding a feature-filled handset for
active-minded consumers to its product lineup. Dust

The feature set of the Nokia 5140i has been designed
to offer extra motivation during workouts or for enjoying
downtime. With the Fitness Coach application, the Nokia
5140i offers an 'always-on' personal trainer that encourages
you to go the extra mile or finish the last set. The
Fitness Coach application also enables to track sports
performance over time or sharing of results via SMS
with coaches or team-mates. MP3 ring tones announce
incoming calls and an FM radio provides extra energy
while on the go. With improved Push to talk functionality,
the Nokia 5140i enables users to conveniently coordinate
outdoor activities or cheer sport mates - be it an individual
or a whole team - at the push of a button. And Nokia
Xpress audio messaging ensures the user will not be
a runner-up when it comes to keeping in touch. Even
personalized highlight reels can be created and shared
thanks to the Nokia 5140i phone's integrated VGA camera.
In addition to its advanced technology and rugged good
looks, the Nokia 5140i will meet the requirements of
an upcoming EU environmental legislation (RoHS, 2002/95/EC),
more than one year in advance. "The Nokia 5140i
is also a frontrunner when it comes to environmental
aspects," explains Olli-Pekka Mäkirintala,
Director Environmental Management, Mobile Phones, Nokia.
"The Nokia 5140i is designed to fulfill the requirements
of the upcoming EU environmental legislation on the
phase out of restricted substances, well before the
legislation takes effect in July 2006. As a leader in
mobility, Nokia - and our suppliers - have put a great
deal of effort to be proactive in meeting the new requirements
early."
Training Mates stay on track
The Nokia 5140i continues to build upon the successful
'Training Mates' cooperation between Nokia and Polar
Electro, one of the world's leading manufacturers of
sports instruments and heart rate monitors. For athletes,
the Nokia 5140i provides easy connectivity to a high-performance
range of Polar's top of the line wrist computers, designed
for fitness, running, cycling and outdoor enthusiasts.
Right after an exercise, training data can be transferred
