we had a ducking sane file structure on symbian. Before apple knew what smartphone means. We had sane file structure on siemens phones.

There's no excuse for the unholy abomination of what manufacturers call an "operating system" on a smartphone these days.

Peak symbian was the sony ericsson p1i.

Had a gf throw that thing against a cinder block wall, off a concrete floor, and basically explode everywhere. i picked upthe parts, snapped it back together, turned it back on and left.

Ericsson phones were second only to Nokia phones for their durability.
