Nokia ships first GSM 'push to talk' camera phone

n5140c_teaser.jpg Nokia has announced that the long-awaited Nokia 5140 - a rugged camera phone for sports inspired lifestyles - has started shipping in Europe and around the world, according to PCPro,

The phone is also Nokia's first GSM 'push to talk' handset. The service allows users to send spoken messages to others in their 'group' in real time by holding down a button, much like the old days of CB radios.

The phone also has an integrated digital compass.
