Nokia 5140 The Athlete

Nokia 5140 The Athlete - Although the cover looks water-resistant, don't count on this too much. Describing the durability of 5140, Nokia uses the statement "protection against splashes and dust" and this is about the level of protection the phone has indeed. In the upper part you can find the slot for a handsfree device, the speaker and the flashlight. It is possible that a small quantity of water could penetrate through these slots, but it will not harm the phone because the electronic parts are isolated by blocking rubber cover, which does not allow water to get inside the phone. The speaker and the display are tightly bordered with a rubber cover. Therefore, it might not be a problem if you swim with the phone from time to time, but it is not recommended. Very interesting designed carrying straps which keep the telephone in an upside-down position are available.
The battery is hidden in water-resistant jacket under the down shell. It is not freely attached, like it is in some other models of Nokia - it is protected by a thin rubber jacket, which prevents from penetrating water inside the phone, if some could get under the shells anyway. If you remove the jacket using your nail, you can take the battery out. Once charged it endures in a standby mode up to 5 days and it will take you 2 hours to recharge it. The jack for recharging is under a rubber strip and next to it is situated the system Pop-Port connector.
The telephone shells are produced from semi-transparent material, which is available in several shades. The sides of the shells are rubber, so that this protects the phone against splashes and scratching. Nail, hard subject, keys in the pocket will cannot harm. When the shell of the phone is damaged, you can easily change it with another one. It is very difficult to break the shell - I have made several crash tests and it turned out to be very resistant.
