I wish I never bought an 8800, or a second one... and now a 3rd one!

first two wasted so much of my money but at least the 3rd was alot more reasonable, though I expect that will be out the door soon as I'm already bored with it again!

will I learn this time!?

My worst mobile investment had to be the Nokia 5110. I got one when it was still fresh on the market and I was not yet quite aware of phones as more then just calling devices. I was all glad and a happy little kid till a few days after i saw the 6110 with its gleaming IR port...

Took me 3 months of saving up to get that 6110 and to be able to play that two player snake. Damn those three months I hated that 5110.

Would have to be the Se J100, battery life was 2 days behind the equivalent Nokia and can only store 20 text messages, even with a 3G sim. Buttons were also to close together.

Also the SE S700, cost me a fortune, Bit big and bulky, hated the swivel, but the screen was just soooo nice.

I have to say the phone I wish I hadn't had was an Ericsson T10s. Got it with when T-Mobile were One 2 One and had a contract deal where you got some free minutes and paid the line rental up front. It came with this Ericcson, and it was awful! Keypad needed firm presses to work, battery was loose and and sharp jolt and the phone would turn itself off, had to buy another batt as it didn't last that long anyway! Looked nice though.

The other phone I wish I didn't get was a Nokia 3200. When I first took out my O2 contract, I had the choice of either an T610 or that Nokia. For some baffling reason I chose the 3200! Camera on it was worse, connectivity was laughable (No Bluetooth, crippled IR that would communicate with the PC or any non-Nokia phone), rubbish 4,096 colour screen and fiddly buttons. Think I was tempted by gimmicks like it's FM radio, quirky looks and the little flashlight thingy! This was before I discovered Esato...

@ masseur - i know how you feel. im only on my 2nd 8800 though. its crap but i love it anyway for some reason. like you in looking to sell this one at the right price. but think a sirocco may be on the cards.

i wish i never bought a m600i, was crap. im also wondering whetehr my p990i was a bad idea.

woah, a lot of hate in this forum, anyway heres mine:

moto v360 < absolutely rubbish software

SE z530 < They are selling it with headphones but it comes with no data cable, no memory card, doesnt even have radio for god's sake!, what a waste!

SE W900< it sounded good until the week after i bought it, spent so much money but the thing is too slow, too bulky and keeps rebooting for no reason, and worst of all the thing randomly died 3 times, which i had to reflash the FW 3 times as well, however the 3rd time it remained dead, a total waste of money, honestly you can buy a smart phone with the same amount of cash!

W810 < its supposed to be a music phone, but it honestly sounds crap, however after many months living with the rubbish sound quality, i managed to software mod it, now im satisfied with it
