Microsoft, which now makes Nokia phones, promotes Nokia 105 for its durability and long battery life.


It is available for as low as $30 in the United States.


 


CAR director of operations Jonah Leff told NBC that though the model does not have any features that aid bomb-making, yet its consistency has made it a favourite among ISIS bomb-makers.



“These people have streamlined the industry of bomb-making with this particular phone,” said Leff.
