1. It's appropriate - it's the home of Nokia, after all!

2. I think some defendants in my PFA cases could compete in this contest

For some reason, when they're angry they always seem to take it out on the cell phone. I've had clients who don't allege any physical abuse, but tell me that the defendant grabbed the cell phone, threw it across the room, then took it outside and ran over it with the car. It's very difficult sometimes not to laugh.

3. Welll, mine's certainly been on the ground

Not from intentional tossing, but certainly from me dropping it over and over again! It's a tough little sucker! :D
