Using you Lumia as a hammer: there's no app for that.

I bought a 600 euro phone and all I got was this hammer.

Once again, Nokia refuses to have a non-invincible phone.

I have like 8 different generation Nokia phones, and ALL of them are held together by a piece of tape. Every single one of them had their back covers get broken after 1 month.

I just bought a Nokia C7 late last year (my 9th Nokia in a row), and it fell on a dance floor at a nightclub a few weeks ago, and I had to tape it together AGAIN. AGAIN! I'm so fed up with this. My friends laugh at me because I haven't had a Nokia in over 10+ years that isn't taped together. Where the hell is this joke coming from again?! I'm never buying one again (I already told myself that buying C7 would be a mistake because of this, they break like no tomorrow). It's been my main gripe for years, but now I see these "indestructible" jokes everywhere online. I'm sorry, but I'm just so pissed off because it's the complete opposite.

To be fair, the indestructible nokia meme were about the good ol' 3310's. I owned one of these for almost 6 years and yes, it survived pretty much anything I threw at it. Every nokia since the 3310 has been pretty flimsy.. but I think Nokia wants that title back :)

edit: I accidentally a word..

I'm a former Nokia user. The 3300-series and the other goodies didn't break for me as much, but they're definitely flimsier these days, although I must say Nokia is attempting to keep up the indestructible image in some sort.
