I only had it to keep the finger grease from building up in the crevasse.
@MobileTechGuy, launching it from 300 m only destroy the screen, the phone still works.

It was more like a clip to put on your belt so you could show off to everyone you had a mobile phone.
That thing was built like a tank. So cool memories.
OP’s pic isn’t even the original brick Nokia.
I remember like 25 years ago, getting into some argument with my girlfriend on the phone. After we hung up, I spiked that phone on my office floor, it bounced back up like four feet in the air. I chipped the corner of that bigass sliding battery, but the phone still worked. Not sure my iPhone would handle that. Though they seem pretty durable, I don’t want to test mine like that.
My old one survived an 8-story fall onto concrete after my wedding. Just crazy durable
Somehow I managed to break two of them, feel like I must have a superpower!
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.
Also the Battery of the old Nokias which had enough charge for almost a week in use.
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.
Crazy how a gameboy uses less power than a computer
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.
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
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.
I was saying boo urns.
Damm, never thought I’d see a meme with Xavier being still circulated in 2023

I thought it was the same guy, what’s the lore on this dude
If you ever feel your job is useless, remember, someone somewhere is installing turn signals in BMWs.
Fake news, I used the indicator in my X1 this morning.
To my surprise it works! Must be that quality German engineering
Meh, not so good as you might think. I checked on mine and at first it worked but then it didn’t, then it worked again and again it didn’t and so on. Must be some lose cables or something.
Best to just avoid using it entirely then.
Is that supposed to be funny, friend?
Must be that quality german humor.
Yeah, but you can only use them with a subscription to BMW+.
I remember bragging to a girl in a bar how unbreakable my phone was, she proceeded to smash it on the floor. I reassembled it and showed her it was still working. The cover might pop off with a good drop on those things, but damn they were durable.
