So, we have plenty of debate going now as to peoples all time favourite phones, but what about the worst!!!
I have thought long and hard about it and have come up with the worst phone that i have ever owned. I have actually thought of a top 5!(or bottom 5 depending on how you look at it)
Please note, these are phones that i have owned. In my time selling phones i have sold some models that make these look excellent. The all time worst phone that i ever sold was a model that was branded by British Telecom on the old Cellnet network. It was called the BT Amber. If anyone has a picture of that, please post it here. The return rate ran at something like 4 in 5!!!!
1. Motorola M301 - Now some people we say it's beause the Mercury One2One coverage was poor, but no, the handset was a pile of poo!
2. Nokia 7110 - Yes i know people will disagree. They'll say 'great screen', 'brilliant navi roller' and 'matrix' (which it wasn't), but i had this exchanged 9 (yes nine) times!!! Only reason it's not number 1 worst phone is because at least it's not a motorola!!!
3. Siemens S35 - Bit of a surprise this one. The phone looked good, was small and light and when it worked it was great. Problem was, it didn't work enough times - exchanged 4 times.
4. Nokia 8210 - Did anyone really like this tiny phone. Yeah it was small & light and yes it looked good, but that bloody screen fading problem. Just beacuse the fascia's were not made correctly.
5. Nokia 8110 - The 'banana' phone and the true star (albeit slightly modified) of the first matrix film. How cheap and plasticky was this, and don't even think about wanting such a stupid thing as a good battery life.
How about yours?

Motorola L6 =

With the ones I owned . . . I guess it will certainly be the Nokia 7650 ! It's really bulky for a sliding . . . I've realized this mistake when I had the D500 . . . small and very compact sliding-fone !

1.motorola 2.lg 3.sagem 4.nokia 5.samsung .. All were before I found SE phones.
Posted by dancingfate
The worst phone I ever have :
1. A Motorola TimePort
2. Nokia : 6610 (most dissapointed phone I ever have)
Posted by 87ers
Hold on a minute, what was wrong with the 6610? I had one too, it was pretty good as one of Nokia's first colour cellphones.
Anyway, my pick would have to be the 3 Siemens cellphones that I've used. The 1st one was the M35i, 2nd one was the C45, 3rd was SL45. All three were crappy phones with one too many bugs.

I had nokia 3210
but it was one of the nicest phones at that time
Posted by darth.paul
Either K800 or W900, both have had to be replaced 3 times each due to WSOD. No more SE for me!!
Posted by frajam88
The worst phone ive had was the nokia ngage. I had 9 in total because i had to get them replaced coz they kept breaking. I then decided to sell it and get the K750i which rocks!
Posted by bravofly
Motorola d160!
Big brick with a lousy battery. SE T68i had a bit of a dissapointing battery as well.
Posted by Roberto
Motorola V3x, worst phone I've ever had. I will never buy motorola phone again.
Posted by wapt

My worst phone was also a Motorola...I think it was called the Jazz..there was nothing musical about this phone..it was pure and utter crap...it would constantly crash(before we had java on phones) and it had the worst ringtones of any phone out at the time (circa 2001).
Posted by thegreatone

Posted by frakker
Worst phone I've ever had (even at the time) was a Philips Savvy. Absolutely horrible phone with next to no features and resemabled a children's toy thing.
Do Philips still make phones? Nope. Case closed
Posted by Danny_BFC

worst phone ever owned, lol only had SE, but tested almost everyother phone.
samsung would be the worst. high price for low specs, hardly working, bluetooth is poor, low memory for java aps, horrible and ugly UI
using technology that they don't pay for!!
Posted by frakker
@danny2107
They do? Good grief, they must have a userbase of about 12!
Posted by glorfingal
Motorola v3 the ultimate c..p, followed by a motorola U6...
hhmmmm there seems to be a pattern here
Thank god I saw the light and chose an SE !!!
Posted by dcbastable
@joebmc
Yeah, the V3 phenominem is beyond me, allthough i do like the look of the new K1
Posted by jamesv
SE T20
That thing put me completely off SE. I was a nokia man from then on in. The k750i dragged me back over, warily.
Now im a proud k800i owner.
Posted by darrengf
Mine was the awful Motorola C520.
I hated the phone. Had it for 30 mins and returned it back to the shop.
I have since had a motoroal Time port P7389 and a T260.
After these phones which lasted for 2 weeks (These were the only phones at the time was tri band that i could buy)
I said i would never buy another motorola. I havnt and still wont.
I hate Itap, Dont like the cheap menus. and im sorry Ive had nothing but people say oh i luv the V3i, 1 or 2 week later to say i hate that phone why did you let me buy it.
Looks are not everything.
