I had a 2610 back in the day. One night I left work and accidentally left it on my roof. I got up on the highway, speeding up to about 75 when I heard it slide and go over the back windshield.  
My first reaction was to say, “Shit.”  
I pulled off and picked up the pieces, put them back together, and it worked fine for another year before I got a newer phone. I still have it somewhere.
 
Not long after I got my new phone, my cousin lost his 2610 during a party. A week went by, and he got a new phone to replace his lost one. A month later he was mowing the grass, and found the phone buried in the dirt. It had rained multiple times, and been run over by the mower, but he cleaned it up and dried it out, and it worked.

No, they really are bastard tough. It’s not an exaggeration.

The problem here is that a joke has already been made that Derpys is capable of breaking a Nokia 3310.  

Well thet’s solve the mistery.

So I’ve heard, but is it just memetic exaggeration, or has one survived a Gulf War bombing like a Gameboy did?

Nokia 3310’s are tough beasts.
