■Improveddurability The Nokia 5100 phone has been
designed for an active lifestyle. It is a
phone with enduring quality and
reliability. It has an improved
protection against water, dust, shocks
and scratches. The rubbery surface
and ergonomic shape provide a firm
and reliable grip and convenience.
The top and bottom shells provide
protection against water splashes and
dust. Also the inner module including
the bottom connectors have
additional resistance to water and
dust when the shells and key mat are
mounted. There are membranes and
gaskets to give protection for inner
parts.
The phone has improved durability to
protect against accidental shocks and
scratches (e.g. if phone drops from
your pocket or desk). The bottom flap
gives extra protection for the connectors against knocks and dirt.
The Nokia 5100 phone also has several features to accompany you in
your activities, like:
•Loudspeaker (p. 21), Radio (p. 54), Flashlight (p. 13), Calorie
counter (p. 66), Thermometer (p. 67), Countdown timer (p. 64),
