That doesn't work. I specifically wrappped it safely in quotation marks.

Whoa whoa there. Nokia still makes great phones! They had a slump where they were trying to figure out what to make, but now you can still buy good dumbphones (maybe not in N.America), but they are making smartphones with the best cameras out there, and way more rugged than the Precious iPhone. If you haven't handled one in the past year, I'd suggest giving it a shot!
I currently use a Nokia phone! Needed a quick replacement for a lost phone and still use it 4 years later. I dont remember what color it used to be, half the numbers are worn off, but everything still works and has not had a nice life!

Geeeez you said it before me. Everything now is all about maximizing profit and very little about quality. Everything thing is cheaply made and breaks way too soon. Pretty sad.
Your Ebay comment x 100.

I know jealousy when I see it.
Old manufactured stuff was durable, repairable and it could last generations. New stuff is designed/ built cheaper to stretch every last nickel outta it and last X amount of time before it becomes obsolete/ disposable. Granted, new stuff can be amazing.
except modern day automobiles ... as I was growing up ( the '50's ) a car was pretty much a dead lose after 100k miles ... now 300k isn't all that hard

Welcome to consumerism. It's kind of disgusting to walk into a Walmart and see a ton of useless cheap junk. The thing is too that a lot of people end up buying it and just tossing it away. To think that somebody spent a few hours of there lives somewhere making it. Back than too it seemed like there were a finite amount of resources to make quality stuff. Now a days it seems like we regard our resources as infinite and pump out a ton of useless crap. The numbers just don't add up.
Btw, you can add: Walmart Target Any other big name store to the list.
