Hehe yeah… Well I agree, they werent indestructible or anything but remember the first phones with glass screens we got. So many smashed screens. Now I think they are pretty sturdy also with all the gorilla glass stuff etc.
The 3310 was re-released around 2017. Battery life was ~2 weeks when I bought it. The original battery died a couple of years ago and I had to get a locally made one. This only lasts a few days.
Maybe once we get tired enough of big tech, we go back to these kind of phones. Would probably bring us back into reality and make us realize how dependent we are on them now.
If you have the same screen as a pocket calculator and your CPU only runs at a couple Mhz, then yeah you can make a battery last a while. People forget that the phones we carry around now are more powerful than the most powerful gaming computers that existed when this phone was popular.
With less than a Gameboy as Computer they reached the Moon in the 69. The old Nokias don’t had Internet, but better sounds in calls and better coverage than current Smartphones. You also could send and receive message, this was enough for the normal use of a Phone. Now you have Internet for loose your time in Social networks and play Candy Crush, instead to use an Computer where this is much more confortable, instead of creating Smombies in the streets, depending on small screens without seeing where they go.
Somehow I managed to break two of them, feel like I must have a superpower!

Also the Battery of the old Nokias which had enough charge for almost a week in use.
Yup it was amazing. If someone makes a phone like this today with today’s batteries…I assume it would last a month on a single charge.
And a phone like this with today’s chips as well would last half a year

Crazy how a gameboy uses less power than a computer
