I see it all over the place, how it's some kind of indestructible force of nature.

I tried to google where it came from but all I get are links to meme pictures.

WTH?

Steve Ballmer (keynote speaker at CES) was one of the big announcers for it... it is the first LTE phone in the states, and the first NOKIA with the new windows phone OS in the USA on ATT

I had one of those old nokia bricks. They seriously were indestructible. A friend dropped his in a bonfire and it melted. Still worked.

Every cellphone I had before my iPhone was a Nokia. They all had that same ring. But they were good phones. They never broke or died, I just upgraded.

Same here. I was sad when the tri-tone "fly" dissappeared from one model to the next, that was my favorite ringtone they had.

Those Finns know how to make stuff.

Gotta make em tough for when the Reindeer kick you in the chest or when you fall 200 feet into a crevasse and are frozen for a couple of centuries and what not.
