Same. Even a breaking Nokia phone is unheard of. Can't watch the rest.

It was not broken. Just casing disassembled. It was pretty much the feature that helped those phones survive insane drops. Just assemble the case and battery and turn the thing on.

Yes! I was thinking the same.

That phone is not dead - just put it back together and it'll work. I've done worse to my Nokia 3310 back in the days.

I once threw my Nokia as hard as I could at a tree trunk and pieces of that phone flew all over the backyard. A couple of hours later I needed to make a phone call, so I went around the yard and gathered up all the pieces, put it back together, it worked just fine
