> By anecdotal comparison, the last Nokia I owned was a windows phone, did not require a case, and lasted me 3.5 years without a scratch.

Yep, with the exception of the 925, every Nokia WP device I've owned has been an absolute tank. The 925 suffered from a broken charge/USB port, common on that model, but if it wasn't for the dead platform I'd still be rocking my 640 and 650. My mom is happily using my 521 from five years ago, getting nearly a week on the original battery and loving the OS (she's not into apps, she just wants phone/text/photos).
