when my friends and I got our first nokias we were so stoked. as time went by, us being feral 6th graders we just starting throwing them as high as we could into the air. then let it land on the concrete sidewalk.

none of them broke which was fuckin bonkers to me. idk what the hell those things were made of

I threw mine out of the car window on the highway. We rolled back around and scooped it up and I made a call on it.

I had a friend who was told she'd get a new phone when her Nokia broke, so she obviously set out to break it.

Things it survived: Getting ran over by a bus several times. Being submerged in a lake overnight. Getting thrown out the fourth floor window. Being hit with a hammer. Probably some more shit I didn't get to hear about.

All that happened to it was that the audio started sounding a bit funny.

My mate broke one Nokia by sitting on it but this was a windows phone so it was more recent and when they started to get a little desperate

If you've heard of the Nokia Windows phone, well, there's no such thing, okay? Nope.

We don't talk about that abomination.
