I thought it was the same guy, what’s the lore on this dude
@MobileTechGuy, launching it from 300 m only destroy the screen, the phone still works.
If you ever feel your job is useless, remember, someone somewhere is installing turn signals in BMWs.
Yeah, but you can only use them with a subscription to BMW+.
Fake news, I used the indicator in my X1 this morning.
To my surprise it works! Must be that quality German engineering
Meh, not so good as you might think. I checked on mine and at first it worked but then it didn’t, then it worked again and again it didn’t and so on. Must be some lose cables or something.
Best to just avoid using it entirely then.
Is that supposed to be funny, friend?
Must be that quality german humor.
It was a joke actually. In all seriousness I am actually really good with my indicators, especially as I have 2 sons who have either recently got their license or are working towards it. They are more than happy to point out even the slightest error.
That thing was built like a tank. So cool memories.
Somehow I managed to break two of them, feel like I must have a superpower!
Hehe yeah… Well I agree, they werent indestructible or anything but remember the first phones with glass screens we got. So many smashed screens. Now I think they are pretty sturdy also with all the gorilla glass stuff etc.
Also the Battery of the old Nokias which had enough charge for almost a week in use.
Yup it was amazing. If someone makes a phone like this today with today’s batteries…I assume it would last a month on a single charge.
The 3310 was re-released around 2017. Battery life was ~2 weeks when I bought it. The original battery died a couple of years ago and I had to get a locally made one. This only lasts a few days.
Maybe once we get tired enough of big tech, we go back to these kind of phones. Would probably bring us back into reality and make us realize how dependent we are on them now.
If you have the same screen as a pocket calculator and your CPU only runs at a couple Mhz, then yeah you can make a battery last a while. People forget that the phones we carry around now are more powerful than the most powerful gaming computers that existed when this phone was popular.
That’s correct, but how do 90% of people use this “computer” that cost them as much as a desktop PC? Correct, chatting on Facebook, Whatsapp, taking selfies, some clips on TikTok, playing CandyCrushes and little else, which results that the power that these sneaks have is more a commercial argument than something really useful, all this can be done with the smartphone on sale for 80 bucks. Oh yes, you can also make calls, if the battery still has enough charge when you need it. They are spyware from large corporations that use it to track your every move and action that everyone willingly carries in their pockets, or has it in front of their faces while crossing the street.
OP’s pic isn’t even the original brick Nokia.
I remember like 25 years ago, getting into some argument with my girlfriend on the phone. After we hung up, I spiked that phone on my office floor, it bounced back up like four feet in the air. I chipped the corner of that bigass sliding battery, but the phone still worked. Not sure my iPhone would handle that. Though they seem pretty durable, I don’t want to test mine like that.
My old one survived an 8-story fall onto concrete after my wedding. Just crazy durable
Damm, never thought I’d see a meme with Xavier being still circulated in 2023
It was more like a clip to put on your belt so you could show off to everyone you had a mobile phone.
I only had it to keep the finger grease from building up in the crevasse.
