They day has come where I will make jokes about the indestructability of nokia's and children will look at me with blank faces....
Todays Nokia's, now owned by Microsoft, are just as durable. This is something that has always intrigued me, when people choose something like a Samsung device that breaks far more easily in less stressful situations than any Nokia would. They are rock solid devices, and the myth about the OS being its Achilles heal is laughable to anyone who's actually taken the plunge and bought one than to criticize from the side-lines. 5 minutes at a store, does not make you a critic. Sadly, Nokia, who's products to this day have been better than most other competitors, Apple included, is now done in the phone business. It saddens me when people talk of how great Nokia's of the past were but then failed to give the new products any chance to survive by actually owning one. This is why Nokia is no more, a great company, not for any other reason than its traditional users being drawn to the "Shiny" Apple's of the world with all their gimmicks. Microsoft has since matched those gimmicks, but yet, still no one came. I guess shiny looks count far more than grace and quality, although Apple's aren't bad in this department, just not as good and have only their highly overrated industrial designed looks and very tired design philosophy. Hopefully under Microsoft's curatorship the phones will remain as durable, but looking at the surface products it shouldn't be an issue.
