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. |

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.

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

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). |

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 |

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
