Yeah, that phone was not as nearly as indestructible as the internet memes would suggest, thanks for proving my point about nostalgia blinders. As you can see in this video the phone utterly explodes from a simple chest high drop. The casing itself even splits open and ejects the keys out from under the faceplate. Yeah such a "brick" huh. Ironically, the new 3310 he compares it against fares much much better in that drop.
Don't know about the video, my personal experience and that of my generation is that we abused the duck out of those phones and they survived.
No, this is not your personal experiences, that's the nostalgia blinders yet again as if you couldn't prove my point any more. I am actually old enough to have had a 3310 and they exploded at the slightest drop. Sure, you could put it back together and it'd work, until it didn't.
