    Looks funny, but not funny enough for me to ever consider buying

    Oh, you've reminded me a story...I and my friends did a "test" once on this brick phone...
    We were at this one hotel that was quite high (don't remember the number of floors or which hotel it was :/) so at night we sneaked to the hotels roof and were able to throw this Nokia brick into the swimming pool (we were kids and stupid, no one was hurt as the pool was closed for the night) and the next day were able to retrieve it and use it no problems whatsoever!
    (We even throw it under a bus again before use)

    I may buy it. Since I can use it to scare away some mouses or cats or swans or cockroaches or giraffes or etc(s). :ROFLMAO:
    Since It is "Indestructible".

    As one of my greatest regrets, no... and even if there was couldn't get it on video (threw my phone, and the times of video quality and online availability)

    Edit:What an overwhelming victory for NO xD

    I think it will sell reasonably well. There's a lot of value in a cheap durable phone and a lot of people don't need the extra functions. I could also see people picking this up as a work phone in some industries if you are on building sites etc. regularly, even if you already own a smartphone. Even after Nokia nosedived, their phones were still doing quite well in rural/poorer areas too, and not many companies have hung around at that end of the market. The demand is probably there.

    Is it waterproof? Only way my phones ever die is via water (I am on my 4th phone now :p) Still won't get it though. My current t phone is the samsung 7 (which actually boasts being water resistant. Yeah, I did chooseit in part for that. Also, not the edge version, cause curved screens look fragile to me... and irritating. also why I didn't get the note one... too bad too, because i hear it could be used as an explosive XD)

    Nothing beats the old N3310 even snatchers are afraid to grab it and throwing them may kill people even dropping them to ground may split the land.

    That is not a Nokia 3310, that is a fancy, modern, lie.
    The Nokia 3310 was a brick that could talk to other bricks, that has way too much functionality.

    No. The battery duration of up to a month on standby isn't exclusive to this phone, as any other non-smartphone cellphone has everlasting battery duration. There are better options out there, cheaper and probably more durable. I just wanted a indestructible non-smartphone phone +everlasting battery +waterproof, so that I can carry for emergency purposes (to use after I am out of batery on my smartphone - which happens pretty much everyday, since smartphones' batteries don't even last 24h).
