A former design executive at Nokia has spoken on social media about an old Nokia that saved a man’s life in Afghanistan last week.
Yes, that’s fucking correct. You read correctly.
Your Samsung Galaxy Note 7 just spontaneously combusted and your iPhone 7 just smashed by touching air, but this guys phone SAVED HIS LIFE FROM A SPEEDING BULLET.
Peter Skillman not only tweeted the story, but also photos.

While it’s always difficult to tell the authenticity of stories like this, Skillman has said that after working with devices like this first-hand, it seems legit.
He couldn’t release the man’s name for privacy reasons, but hey – we’re sold.
While there’s very little information about this illustrious feat otherwise, the only remaining question is why this phone is still functional, and owned in October of 2016.
What a time to be alive and owning an extremely old Nokia. They were bloody good, weren’t they?
