    Whats the WORST phone you have ever owned?

    Just bored and curious really. I don't mean faulty, i mean in terms of design and function. My all time most hated phone is the Motorola V3 RAZR. Nasty, just nasty.

    Ever had a real stinker of a phone you could not get rid of soon enough, and why?

    i'd say the 6230. great features and everything but the screen was really poor. worst screen i've had on a phone, but for texting i'd say a motorola something i had years ago.

    so for screen it's the 6230 and for texting motorolas

    One of the first motorola clamshell designs...the usability was terrible and caused me to swear of the big M for ever more...something 66 or other. Another 6 and it would have been perfect.

    Two phones spring to mind:
    Phillips Fisio 820



    nasty interface - bluetooth wouldn't work properly. Firmware crashed a lot. Ended up buying a T68i from Ebay.



    Siemens C35 - Shows why nokia dominated , their interface was just so much better. I had the blue one with the "dance" ringtones :barf:

    I'll ignore the really early ones I had that were massive...

    I'd say my Sony Ericsson T86i. I'd just come from a Nokia 8210, which is one of my favourite phones ever, and the T68i just seemed to do everything worse. Bigger, heavier, worse battery life, really bad joystick, useless 256 colour screen and worse reception. The T68i isn't the worst phone ever made by a long way, but it's the worst one I've owned.

    Siemens SL45. Worst i've owned.

    Worst i've used was an old Motorola TriBand thing that was my Dads. The SL45 was in getting repaired and this was the only other phone i had around at the time. Although my brother Motorola was even worse, you couldn't use numbers from the phone book to send text messages! how lame is that! even my Ericsson from 1997 could do that.

    I suppose technically speaking it would have been the 3210 I had years ago. I haven't had that many phones. But I can't really complain about any of them. Except maybe the T630 and it's slowness.

    Worst phone I've ever used would probably be anything made by Motorola. Utterly crap

    Although it was the phone that lasted the longest, I couldn't stand it. The plastics creaked, the back fell off, the menu I despised. Couldn't wait to get back to Sony Ericsson, or Ericsson as it would have been. The Nokia 3310 argh.....

    Just remembered, I can't stand my brothers Nokia 7250 (or whatever on earth it is), my dads Siemens S55 and my mums terrible O2 thingy (not on their website any more).

    i have trouble using any of these, which is a strange feeling for me, i normally have no problems with learning how any kind of tech works

    Sony Ericsson T610. The UI was just so slow it was tedious.

    I liked my T68i

    Id say

    Nokia 3650, great feautures but 10X too big, and ugly as anything

    T610 - Waaaaay too slow

    Motorola E3778? First phone I had, it was a brick, ran off 4 AA batteries sellotaped together, no games, no nothing

    Motorola V2288, had radio and wap which were great. Problem was it did bugger all else, didn't even have any games or user ringtones. Jacked it in for a Truim Mars (quite underated imo) after a month. That truim was one of the best phones i've ever owned and was quite before its time for features.

    And IMO motorola have NEVER made a good phone, I thought they came close with the RAZR but then I used one and it was just motorola all over again.
