If somebody gave me that, I would marry them
SNAKE!!!!
Well … my 3310 lasted only 7 years before malfunctioning. Then I got myself another Nokia phone, which has been working fine since 5 years ago.
Seeing it in this view, it’s kind of similar to actual love relationships.
Your relationships last 5-7 years? That’s amazing. People are lucky to be married 5-7 weeks today.
My wife would agree with the author of that piece. She doesn’t want flowers as a symbol of love–they don’t last.
We have been together over a quarter century at this point.
just buy her a diamond. they last forever
No, a Nokia will last longer!
until it commits suicide and jumps in the toilet.
Happenned to mine, Still works… (dry it on radiator over night on a towel) Has been working for 10-14 years. I forget….
so does herpes… hes tryn to b original and a bamf ass dude
Use my 3310 everyday, only changed battery to a new light one.
3310 Defines Cellphone, Every phone after is a computer with the ability to take calls.
Nope, they destabilize at surface temperature and pressure. You want forever? Go with a ruby or sapphire.
Except that pokemon games for the GBA are susceptible to their batteries running out. Then you can’t play the game properly anymore.
I swallowed a Nokia phone in a car accident one time. It took me over a quarter century to sh*t it out.
Bragging about your love life in the comments section of a failblog post is like throwing out the first pitch at a bull fight: it might make you feel important, BUT IT DOESN”T MAKE ANY F**KING SENSE!!!
At first, I had no idea what you were trying to say.
Your metaphor was weak and obscure, your mock one-up-manship was unfunny and forced, and your conclusion was dubious and only very loosely connected to anything else you said.
Then, when I realised what your motivation for posting was, it only got worse. “Douchebag” is the only explanation that really fits all the way.
So, um, stop being a douchebag.
He isn’t bragging… just commenting. You’re just getting ridiculously upset about it for some reason. Apparently no one is allowed to mention how they can relate to a post anymore. Cool.
How do you get a Nokia to malfunction after just 7 years? Sea water? I can’t think of any other way, except intentionally smashing it with a hammer. Or wasn’t it just the battery that needed to be changed?
Smashing it wih a hammer? Pfft, you smash hammers with a Nokia.
Like a boss
*crosses arms and puts on sunglasses* like a boss
Well played!
Great post! I shares it on twitter.
I had a 3330 before and my grandmother got it later to use. When her prepaid SIM card apparently had expired or something she threw the whole phone away because apparently “that’s what the support person had said to do”. I should never have let her have it…
So, the symbol he chose is an old, outdated, surely-will-break-and-be-replaced-by-something-sexier phone?
surely will break?
I can see, dear sir, that you have never owned a Nokia.
agreed, that phone is what they use to cut diamonds with
i owned a Nokia once, but it jumped out the window and committed suicide :’(
I’ve an 13-year old Nokia, and it still functions fine. A bit battered and well-used, rather old-fashioned, but comfortable, familiar, and reliable.
I daresay that’s a fine metaphor for love.
I’ve been using celphones since 1998. All Nokias. In these past 14 years i only had 5 different models, and that is because the first one was a TDMA that needed to be replaced by a GSM (SIM operating), the second one was given to my housemaid when she needed one, the third one was used in an exchange for a newer one with MP3 player, the fourth got stollen and my gf gave me a new one which is my fifth and have been operating for 2 years now. Plus, the battery lasts for at least 4 days, in my routine of usage.
Nokias are for life.
I managed to break a nokia. Yes, really.
I broke 3, in a year.
Pics or didn’t happen.
well I have had Nokia’s for ages and when hubby’s phone died he had to use my old one which we had kept as an emergency phone and yes it’s around 6 years old and still going my son buys other brands and they never last out the first year, my first ever phone was a Philips which hubby had passed on I forgot it and left it in the garden overnight…..there was a storm and when I had dried it out, it was perfectly OK, and worked and the one after that was Nokia and the only reason we changed it was that it was taken offline by o2
HAHA Hilarious!
I had a Nokia 3310, it once fell down Steps about 2Stories high(steps at the gym).
Just switched it on again, it lived for about 7 or 8 years, than the battery died and i was lazy so i got a new phone, but i think it would still work today.
My friend told me his friend did this for VDay last week… So either he saw and voted for it OR it managed its way onto failblog
Boo.
Is it just me, or is the title paraphrasing a line from Albuquerque by the great “Weird Al” Yankovic?
you noticed that to? cool now it’s time to die *takes out chain saw* hehehe
That is the first thing I thought haha
A cell phone? Seriously? You want forever? A Gibson Les Paul (Standard or Custom, depending on your budget), or a made in USA Stratocaster. They never break down, and last forever, not for 5 or 6 years. Better still, they continually increase in value after a few years. I had a 63 Strat once, which, if I hadn’t been stupid and sold it, would be worth about 20 grand today.
GIbson Les Paul…USA Stratocaster???? those beauties are waaaaaaaaaay more expensive here than in USA…a simple Squier or Epiphone are considered High End in Argentina…and if you own a Gibson or Fender, you are probably VERY VERY rich…. damn the overpriced stuff in my country u.u and just going to W@L M@rt or Karr€foür is overpriced.
the joke is old and stale.
Cellphones are not forever but they are very useful. If you want to give a gift to someone then you should gift the useful thing. Not like a bunch of flowers or something that wither or useless.
Weird Al – Albequerque reference?
One night while drunk I threw mine at a wall then kicked it into the same wall to prove it wouldn’t break, it didn’t
http://bash.org/?151227
That’s so sweet.
Also, I hope it’s true ‘cos my current phone is a Nokia and I’m afraid they’re going to stop making non-smartphones soon and when my last normal phone break I may have to become a recluse.
How about a Toyota truck?
instead of paying like 6 dollars for a phone that MIGHT still work take 1 maybe 2 dollars and buy a twinky or two. they seem to last forever
