Sporty Nokia 5140i:
An Ideal Training
Partner For Fitness
Enthusiasts
Espoo, Finland - Nokia
today introduced the
sporty Nokia 5140i
camera
phone, adding a
feature-filled handset
for active-minded
consumers to its product
lineup. Dust and
splash-resistance
combine with durability
to make the triband EGSM
900 GSM 1800/1900 Nokia
5140i an ideal outdoor
training partner. The
Nokia 5140i is expected
to leave the starting
block and begin shipping
in the second quarter of
2005 with an estimated
retail price of 200 EUR
before subsidies or
taxes.
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
Makirintala, 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."
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 and viewed
graphically on the
bright display of Nokia
5140i. Bridging
lifestyle and sports,
the Nokia 5140i connects
to Polar's popular
Running Computer S625X
and the Cycling Computer
S725. In addition, a
variety of Polar Outdoor
Computers such as the
Polar AXN 500 as well as
the Polar AXN 700 and
the upcoming Fitness F55
heart rate monitor are
enhancing the exercise
features of the Nokia
5140i. |
