And there’s still this much battery left. A surprise to be sure, but a welcome one. I wasn’t expecting it to still have any power left at all. I suppose with the sim out, all it was doing was powering the clock, but still! Unfortunately, I’ve had to retire it as my network won’t connect on it anymore.

    is that the 3310? such a brick. i remember dropping it, where it bounced several flights of stairs, the rear cover and battery flying in opposite directions. when i picked it up, the case was intact, not a crack anywhere. and when i reinserted the battery, it came back to life like nothing happened.

      Yep, my first phone! Nokias were great. I don’t think I ever dropped mine though. I was short of money so I was careful to look after it. I only retired it when it became cheaper to buy a new phone than a new battery. The phone in the OP is the Nokia 100, but it didn’t even have snake or bantumi :(

        the 3310 was my first too. i was horrified watching it bounce. i have clumsy hands so it was not my last drop either.
        i was such a huge nokia fan i adopted the smartphone later than my peers. i remember sticking to a nokia 1200 until the 2010s. i eventually bought a smartphone when it became cheaper to buy one than buy a digital camera and a phone separately.
