What a beautiful backside. Nokia Port has the scoop on this baby, 320 x 240 resolution screen with 16 million colors, WCDMA 1700 MHz and GSM on only 850/1900 MHz for some strange reason. What is impressive however is GPS, a first for Series 40. Bring multitasking support to this feature phone platform and I’ll leave S60 in a heart beat.

Thanks for the tip Nokia Port; this device recently was approved the FCC.

    Well, atually my old Nokia 5140i had GPS as well, and it is a few years old by now. I can’t even remember how long time ago I received it, but it goes way back in time :-)

    GPS is waste .. you need to get a GPS receiver beside the phone

  • Al

    No, a GPS receiver is built in.

    Its just like the Nokia N95, E90 and 6110 Navigator.
    You can have the phone offline and still use GPS.

  • Morten Bonde

    Mine has :-)
    It’s a special cover (black unlike the original cover which was blue), that includes the GPS and the software ….
