What phone, if you could pick only 1, is the worst phone you've ever seen or used?

For me it's the Nokia 5510! Damn, someone should be hit over the head for making that phone!!!!! I looks ugly, feels cheap and is just a big 3330, with a stinky mp3-player!

Which phone is your pick, and can be awarded the "Esato"-garbage arward, for worst phone ever! Both functions and looks can be judged, it's only important that the phone stinks in your eyes!

It has to be my Nokia 8210 which I had for about 1.5 years before I got my t68. The quality of that phone was a completly disaster! And every time they repaired the phone, it took weeks to get it back again. First year it was at the service-center for totally 15 weeks, I had three different 8210:s and damn they was so f*****g bad!

The Nokia 5110 is a strong canditade.
There are older phones that suck more, but 5110 was like the beginning of the "nokia era".
I mean, everybody had it.
With the stupid and ugly exchangable covers.. damn.. I just hated that.
The phone was butt ugly.. but people were stupid enough to buy it, cause it was cool to exchange cover... so it could be even more butt ugly!
The human race is sad..

Motorola T260 ...
Overpriced crap, GPRS bolted on an aging phone
design as a stop-gap solution, it's only excuse
was that it was the sole GPRS-enabled device
on the market for a long time...

I Don't miss it!

The Nokia 5510 is like a gameboy with unwanted buttons. THE WORST PHONE EVER! But the build quailty on the 8210 brings it in a close second.

None of the phones I ever owned qualify as garbage. But last month a friend of mine dropped by (like she does about once a year) with a telephone that is really old/cheap. I did not notice the brand but it has a 3-lines orange display. After a night out I tried to correct my entry in the phone but I did not succeed, partly due to alcohol usage but definitely partly due to the archaic menu structure of that phone. We did not succeed...

She can afford a better phone but she won't (She won a lottery about 5 years ago gaining over €1,500,000 )

No, she is not my girlfriend nor my wife,... unfortunately... -)

I used to be a nokia man... had the 8810 - the one with a silver casing...

VERY bad reception.

But my T68 seems to have a better 'wow-effect' once people see the color screen.

Did have a NMT model once...

seems we have come so far, in a short time, how time flies

I actually have this phone still... not many problems, past the upgrades... I miss the ability to change the covers on the T68... really only thing the T68 LACKS?!

If you dare say it lacks anything (like MMS!!! for example)

My T68 does seem to have a few problems though. The 'BIG week 20' upgrade better fix my problems...

OR... ELSE... I'M... GONNA...

look into the P800
