With its innovative construction, materials, and user-changeable top and bottom Xpress-on™ shells, the Nokia 5100 phone provides improved protection against splashes, dust, and bumps. The rubbery surface enables a firm and reliable grip.

The high-resolution, full-color display of the Nokia 5100 phone is sharp and clear; check the approximate temperature, sound level, the calories you've consumed and colourful images for the display wallpaper. The built in flashlight can come in handy when you find yourself in the dark.

With the integrated handsfree the Nokia 5100 can be used as a speakerphone for conversations, or the in-built stereo FM radio can be shared with a group. (Note: when listening to the radio the headset must be connected since the cable works as the antenna.)

You can have access to WAP services over GPRS, run data at speeds up to 43.2 kilobits per second in HSCSD networks, or send and receive multimedia messages with text, color graphics, and photos.

Download new Java applications and games to your phone. And get new instrumental MIDI ringing tones.

Take the Nokia 5100 phone along to five continents - it works in EGSM 900/GSM 1800/1900 networks.

* Shared memory
The following features in this phone may share memory: Phone book, text and multimedia messages, images and ringing tones in gallery, calendar, to-do notes, and Java games and applications. Using any such features may reduce the memory available for any features sharing memory. This is especially true with heavy use of any of the features (although some of the features may have a certain amount of memory specially allotted to them in addition to the amount of memory shared with other features). For example, saving many images, bookmarks, Java applications, etc. may take all of the shared memory and your phone may display a message that the memory is full. In this case, delete some of the information or entries stored in the shared memory features before continuing.
