Nokia today introduced the sporty Nokia 5140i camera phone, adding a feature-filled handset for active-minded consumers to its product lineup.

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.

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.
