Nokia 8850
i really liked this phone when i first got it but it caused me nothing but problems including the speaker

And my t28 again which i really liked but it had such poor reception and kept being replaced

but the very worst has to be this siemens sl42 the manual said you could transfer song to it from your Pc, i think you had to work for nasa to be able to do this

SE :
- K200 : full of problems
- J220 : J200 is better!

Non-SE :
- O2 XPhone IIm : it sucks!

Of all the phones I've owned (not many: CMD-C1 -> T68i -> P900 -> K800 -> P1i), I must choose the P900: because it's the only phone that ever broke on me (the 5-way jog did).

definitely k850i..i am very much dissapointed by se...hardware and MOSTLY software...

The first mobile I got back in 1995 was the Philips "Fizz" (!!) it broke countless times and it had a very peculiar form factor (super tall and wide, but very thin)

other bad phones I owned included the premium nokia 8810 which had terrible reception, the equally poor Ericsson S 868.

Special mention to the SH888 (one of my favourite phones ever) and GF 788 that used to switch off 3 times a day...

By and at large, we can say that phones reception and reliability increased since the nineties, but the outside shell build and assembly quality went down the drain.

Well my worst phone ever was the Nokia 7110. Remember that with the navi roller. Even though for the time and its features it was a fantastic phone but god was it prone to software problems. I probably had more software issues with that phone than any i ever had and i think it was the first ever phone with Wap. The slides constantly shot off when you pressed the button and it crashed so many times it became useless. Sometimes when it was switched off the screen would still do things like flash it had a mind of its own. Its still one of the most iconic phones though i loved the massive screen. I had it on Orange contract.

My W950i, It looked so nice in the shop, the interface seemed alright when I gave it a test, and then over the next few weeks I released it was a stinking incoherent mess

for me it was the seimens sl55 cute phone but flimsy, i had the ruby red one.. loved its design, but the other one i had and thought overated and a terrible phone was the prada! put me off touch phones for good!

My worst phone was the Moto V100. Not because of the phone itself, it was a great idea but was poorly designed.

For those that dont know the V100 flipped open to reveal a QWERTY keyboard, it was marketed as the texters phone. The major problem was that the only way to hold it was in both hands and use your thumbs to type. Now unless you were a 5 year old girl both thumbs covered every key on the keyboard! One text would take an hour to write.

The other problem was the only way to talk was through a hands-free kit, which meant carrying it with you everywhere and if you forgot it.........tough!

Plus I am really bad with headphones so they didnt even last a month until they broke.

My favourite phone? The Ericsson T29. Why I sold this phone when i upgraded I will never know. I wish I could get a re-furbished one now and i would happily use it as my main phone.

My candidate for the worst phone would be the nothing but my most fav. phone ever Nokia 3310 - although it stayed the longest on my hand and pocket among all my phones that i had, it brought the most problems that i can't fixed nor remedied compared with my other phones. from breaking LCD frames, frequent keypad malfunction, heat ups, casing undurability, phone hangings, the infamous "contact service" message. litterally all the screwtinies that a phone user could ever encounter with

Alcatel One-touch 511


http://www.gsmarena.com/alcatel_ot_511-257.php
It's UI was so hideous to navigate that I hardly ever used it.
I'd owned a Philips Ozeo, then a Philips Azalis which I lost and insurance supplied me with a Nokia 3310 which I took straight back without opening the packet, and swapped it for the much better looking Alcatel. I grew to hate that phone! I've hated all Alacatel phones I've had the misfortune to use, all because of the confusing UI. My mum asked me to help her understand her Alcatel OT Easy so I bought her a Z600 instead.

I eventually swapped it for a good condition 2nd Hand Ozeo which I still have in a cupboard somewhere. My mates wife couldn't believe I wanted to swap a near new Alcatel for her nearly two year old Ozeo but I am convinced I got a bargain!

Nokia 7650

Posted by ocean21
The worst one is Nokia 3650, the worst texting experiences due to its shitty keypad . Moreover it is super-duper slow and cannot handle 128 MB of MMC, also the battery life is very sucks so that i need to charge it once or even twice a day. This phone really was a great test for my emotional controlability . Finally, to make it worse, it was stolen

All Nokias gave me a bad experience

I hate that as well simply because of this:

-Poor battery life
-Short memory for SMS


Posted by IRFCA_WDG-3A
1. Samsung D900i metal series. 3mp cam, 11.3 mm and blah blah, anything heavier than a finger's touch will crack the LCD
2. SE T230i...couldn't bear it for more than 2 days
3.Nokia 7600...the idea of a fancy pendant-phone was exciting. using it wasn't.

that too and the horrible keypad.

Nokia N90, the one and only Nokia phone I ever own (it was a prize, anyway). Too bulky, poor battery, and sluggish in many times. Great not to have it more than 6 months!

It got brilliant screen, I admit.

Except for the ugly light reflection of the glue on the kaypad, K700's key[ad is the best one i've ever had. the letters, numbers and symbol keys stayed clear up to this time(i have the phone for almost 3 years now) something other phone keypad could hardly achieve

when i had this phone i had no problems with the joystick nor did i have

problems with the keypad. I agree that this phone itn't the thinnest out

there but the size is fine. Its camera is one of the best, if not the best 3.2

MP camera out there, but i do agree that its video recording abillities sucks

big time
