Everyone plays up the 3310 as a snake-playing text-messaging mjolnir but I had a Motorola Talkabout that survived being spiked into the pavement once. The battery popped out but I put it back in and made a phone call.

turns out a plastic shell with some give in the structure can take abuse more gracefully than a solid brick made of glass. and aluminum.

I had a Nokia something or another, it was a stick phone from sprint, somebody got pissed and threw it full speed, across the room, into a concrete wall, and it flew into like 7 pieces.

However, when I put those 7 pieces back together, that son of a bitch went on running.

I guess there’s trade offs for everything, but the younger generations will never know how to send a t9 text from your pocket

I always had flip phones until the QWERTY keyboard era but I really do miss being able to text by feel.
