I liked how, when you had an alarm set up, you could even switch off the phone and it’d still turn itself on automatically in the morning and ring to wake you up. It was actually more reliable than dedicated alarm clocks, since those needed manual time adjustment when there was a winter/summer time change, or when there was a power outage.
Nowadays, I always have to double check the phone has enough charge before going to sleep.
They really were fantastic to have in a moment of frustration or rage - there’s nothing like ending a conversation by throwing your phone at the wall/floor and watching it smash in to a dozen pieces, all of which you can later collect, easily put back together, and switch it back on for it all to be perfectly fine.
Was great in those days of teenage drama, though I would honestly love to have something as robust nowadays, some calls really do deserve that kind of treatment lol
God I love being chill
Dropped mine out a car window going 120kph on a highway many years back. The cover popped off but it was fine.
Caterpillar makes phones for construction… and probably stuff like that, too
Will definitely be looking in to it next time I replace my phone.
Have seen a couple of them (I’m a millwright), and honestly just spend the money on a case.

Nokia phones haven’t been around for such a long time that for a second there I was very confused as to why the floor should be scared of the city of Nokia.
Nokia still makes phones, both traditional and smart. Their products have good battery, built quality and almost stock Android, but are hilariously underpowered compared to say Xiaomi or Oppo. They are also experimenting with user-repairable phones like the G22, but those have only been released in the EU.
Still have my old Nokia 3310 in a drawer. I bet if I charged it, the thing would still work. Only phone I could use as a self defense weapon.
I have a Samsung flip phone and it still works, but I had to throw the battery because I noticed it was bulging,
In middle school someone’s motorola flip phone been chunked across the band hall over and over in hopes that it would break so that the owner would have an excuse to get a new one (this was when the razrs would the cool phone to have).
