Dug an old Nokia 3310 out of a drawer at my grandparents' farm last weekend

I was clearing out a cabinet and found my granddad's old Nokia 3310 from like 2003, still had the original charger. Plugged it in and it booted up perfectly with the same snake game and everything, no corrosion or dead battery issues at all. Has anyone else had luck reviving old phones that sat dead for like 15 years, or did I just get lucky?

Man, I bet that old phone would still survive a drop off a barn roof too.

My friend's brother actually dropped a Nokia brick off their silo back in '08... it just left a dent in the gravel and kept on ringing. We all crowded around it like it was a miracle, the screen didn't even crack. Those old things were built tougher than a tractor tire.
