To be fair, probably his back would pop off, and his battery would shoot out like a missile, but then he'd go back together like nothing ever happened.
Ive told the story before, but I basically dropped one off a 3rd story balcony onto concrete. It exploded apart into the canonical 3 pieces, but as soon as i got down there and collected them, they all clicked back together and kept working. Used the phone for years after that, no issue.
Mine was lost in a pile of frozen snow from Christmas break until defrosting, roughly April, when it was found in a puddle. Dried, charged and worked several years more.

This is the legit best description of Nokia phone.

It's likely that it falling into pieces made it stronger, spread out the energy of the impact

I feel the devices nostalgia is carried by those who never owned the device.

I had one. It seriously was that tough.

Yeah, these things had plastic screens and literally everything would scratch them. The shell was pretty brittleand just clipped on.
