That's nothing.

I dropped my 3310 down an escalator at a shopping mall. 12 dead, 16 injured.

Thankfully I could still play snake that night.

On a serious note. I found my 3310 in an old shoe box full of junk a few months ago. And it still powered up with 1 a full bar of power............. It has sat in the box for 9 years.

Comedians always make the same lame "Build the plane out of the black box material." joke. But Nokia 3310's were the real deal. My best story was mine falling out of my pocket at 140 kph on a motorcycle. The guy behind me speeds up and flags me to stop. We go back and pick up what is left. And we could only find the back case guts and battery. I plug the battery in, and it sparks right up. Order another set of covers on eBay for $10, and the phone was like new. I bet that thing would last another 10 years if I plugged a sim card back into it.
