Broken Nokia 5140i

vincenzolorenzo

Did something fierce stupid at the weekend - threw a pair of jeans into the wash but forgot to take my phone out of the pocket.:mad::( Copped on too late and of course the signs are pretty ominous for the phone. I took it apart and put it in the hotpress for a few days to dry it out. Do you think is there any hope of saving the phone? I know its a fairly old model and i get plenty of stick for it but i really like it and would much rather keep it than get a new one.


Failing that, anyone have any suggestions for a new phone that i could buy. What i'm looking for:

• Durable
• Camera
• Torch
• Music/Radio
• Not flip or slidey phone
• Nokia

Any suggestions will be much appreciated

The Nokia 5500 Sport is the closest model to the 5140i I know of.

not that's a right piece of ****....5140i is miles better....it's also better than a samsung solid and JCB phone.....

I have a spare refurbished one that's basically the same as brand new if you're after one.
