Worst Phone You Ever Owned/Saw

[krug3r]

Whats the worst phone over the years that you have come across...its good to see what people are raving about so I thought we could turn it around....go on vent your disgust at the worst phones ever....

ok, i have a SEVERE disliking for the 8310. No, wait, let me make that hate :)
Nokia's hell-in-a-box is THE most unreliable phone i've come across to date. Almost 3 years since it's release, and STILL we get over 50% of them come back, and about 50% of those are for the same fault (issues with sms). C'mon Nokia, sense the need for CORRECT firmware :p

I've also got a grudge against the 3310. I always wanted one, and for xmas, i was given a 3210 instead : / But thats not why i dislike it. It's because the public is stingy ;) When we used to sell it on all networks, and the 3410 was still fairly priced (£10-£20 more than the 3310), yet, almost every customer wanted 'a cheap reliable simple phone for emergancy's/for their little son or daughter/for their parents and so on....
And it wound me up, because the 3410 is far far better than a 3310 ever could be. My reason? Battery Life. The 3310's battery is appauling for the age (55hour standby) where as the 3410 (260 hour standby!!) is completley up to date, even now, a year later. But people are too tight to stretch that extra itty-bitty little bit to have a phone that a)wont die on them as soon as they open the box b)will last a week on standby as apposed to a couple of days and c) will give you a clearer, easier to use interface, which is what most of them bought the 3310 for! God i give up :)

I'm beginning to think that my Samsung T100 is the worst phone I've ever had....the key responses on this phone seem to be even worse than before. when you hang up a call it takes about 5 seconds before the screen clears.....

The signal also seems to be getting worse and worse......not quite the worst one yet but getting close....

Mine has to be the Nokia 6210 great phone until it dies on you.
Why release it when it has a manufacturing fault.
:mad:

Motorola V50. That was bad. Too small, with
unreliable reception.

BUT

The worst one I've ever used is my sister's T720i.

Texting using I-Tap was nigh on impossible to get used to, the T720i felt so fragile.

man...the Nokia 8850, Gold Edition..man...i owned TWO!

because the first one just broke...wouldnt start the first time i dropped it from....5cm off the ground!

and the second one i had to keep getting repaired!!

[nick]

Worst phone I have ever seen (have already posted the worst one I've ever used) is this...

[Daedalus]

which one's the worst one out of them?
and i'm looking forward to the one second to the left, Nokia 3100. it lights up all over and flashes with the poly-tones and it's suposed to be pretty good :)

Bit of a double post from the Samsung thread but this looks awful...

when i first saw it, i thought the same, but after seeing it in the film and getting to see it a bit more, it's sort of grown on me. I'm a big fan of The Matrix series and I love how the phone has been designed specifically around the films and not around the customer, making it totally unique and interesting. Plus, when you slide it open, you head a very flash 'swish' sound, like in the flims :) One day, when I've got a bit more money, I might just buy one of these simply for the collecters value (and probably the wow factor knowing me ;) )

[krug3r]

Agree with the collectors value....kind of a limited edition movie memorabilia bound to worth a bit in the future.

nokia 5190 gsm: bad reception, almost no useful features

nokia 8860: chrome peels off at the seams, died after 6 mos.

Had to be the Nokia 5510, bugs bugs bugs....... (SE all the way)

If you ever feel like getting your own back on a phone you just hate, take the battery out (VERY IMPORTANT), find an old microwave, set it for 5 mins and watch the sparks fly. Don't do this with a microwave you want to use again or indoors (use an extension cord and drag it outside) Don't hold me responsible if you get hurt I'm just letting you know it can be done! :devhap:

Worst phone hmmmm Motorola v50 yeah its horrible, good at the time but looking at what it was like it's a piece of sh*t

[StivBox]

The worst phone i ever had is my current motorola A920. Packed with the coolest stuff but the battery life drives me insane. comes with 2 batteries. great , as if the phone isint big enough to carry around , i have to carry the spare battery too. and both of these dont last 12 hours if you actually use the phone.....dam i still got 9 months before contract is over.

[thugedout]

Worst phone...hmmm...Motorola T720i Camera Phone - pictures sucked, motorola's poor excuse for poly ringtones, the constant breaking of any antenna i put in it. It was Motorola's hell-in-a-box!!!

[Ian]

3510i yup owning one isnt good enough. mines broke and i gotta send it back off :angry: so i might ask them if they cant fix it to trade in for a 3300 for its only 1 month OLD!!
