The 5140i "offers active consumers a mobile phone that complements their on-the-go lifestyle," said Tomi Paatsila, VP of mobile phones at Nokia.

"With its strong feature set and messaging capabilities, the Nokia 5140i enables outdoors and fitness enthusiasts to stay connected whatever their interests are - during hard-core training or just a leisurely hike."

With its Fitness Coach application, Nokia's 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 tracking of sports performance over time or sharing of results via SMS with coaches or team mates.

As with several of the latest cell phones, MP3 ringtones announce incoming calls. An FM radio provides extra energy while on the go, and improved push-to-talk functionality enables users to coordinate outdoor activities or cheer sport mates - be it an individual or a whole team - at the push of a button.

Also on the 5140i phone, 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.

The 5140i was the first Nokia phone to comply with European Union environmental legislation, more than one year in advance.

For athletes, the Nokia 5140i provides connectivity to a range of Polar Electro running, cycling, outdoors and wrist computers as well as heart rate monitors. Right after an exercise, training data can be transferred and viewed graphically on the phone's display.
