My girlfriend had an Alcatel and it was brought on the market in holland as Pocket Line Swing for KPN. The phone was huge had a single line display and the guy that wrote the MMI must have been drunk because of itīs totally illogical setup. It was a disaster. Without an usermanual it was impossible to send a SMS!! Besides that it had a huge battery ten times the size of a T39 battery and two days standby time. I decided to give her my nokia 5110 which pleased her more and last month I bought her an E/// T65. So no user related questions anymore for me, the T65 works like a Breeze

To Elgato,
The first phone I ever got was a Nokia 5110 and I was very happy with it. At that time Ericsson still had a Clock menu (GF 768, GF788 T10s,T18s) which was very unhandy in my point of view. Thatīs the reason I bought a Nokia. On the moment Ericsson got out the T28s (with a new menu structure) I changed to Ericsson.

Worst! Sadly the Ericsson a2618. it seems to have the most OBF failures of any phone i have ever seen. The keypads also screw up within just a few weeks of usage. I know of not one still in use today (they were the cheap, low-end pre paid phones of the day) it's not the Philips Fisio (fizz e o)
Then it's the Nokia 3650, (it's so BIG!) and all the new nokia's seem to have "connection problems" with either bluetooth OR infrared. the MIDI synths in them are generally only 4 note polyphony and sould absoluetly terrible compared to my beloved t610.
Then the gourgeously small and light at the time Nokia 8210. the screens are designed to break and they are are just too crap to be a serious phone (plus the keypad design is screwed thanks to nokia making a last minute decision to change it)
Then that Stupid 5510? MP3 player thing with the split keyboard. i mean look at the rear of it, it's got a 3310 shoved in the rear! hahahah Nokia, let's make-do with your old-stock tech rather than designing real phones.
My 6210, cheap, weak plasic and the screen design fault which makes screens break do to the way it's almost pivoting inside. they also forgot to make the ARM fast enough to support the buggy bloated firmware inside.

A Nokia 7110 (the big green bananaphone), I think I owned it for 3 months, during these three months nokia had it for two and a half month (had it repaired 4 or 5 times).
It think it was recalled a bit later.
