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?

The Motorola C336 was my worst. A full battery died under 1 hour of little or no use.
