tbh most 10 year old Symbian devices probably still work.


Yeah, I have a few in my drawer. The actual question is, does anybody turn them on for anything more than few hours of nostalgia? Last time I tried, it wasn't able to browse the web due to SSL errors. Also, did they ever get to support 4G? Where I live they already turned 3G off, so mobile internet in my Symbian devices doesn't work.

I'd be very surprised if somebody actually uses it as their daily driver. Maybe as a really-dumb phone, only for calling and SMS - but anything smarter than that doesn't work anymore. Even the maps are a decade without any further updates.
