    LOL, yeah i forgot about that little gem of a phone. Although i really liked the phone, I had 10 8210's replaced by Orange in 12 months! The only thing that finally sorted it was taking it to a brilliant independant repair shop who fitted a new and slighty modified screen, completely for free (i guess they charged nokia). To be fair to Orange, they did replace the phone very quickly every time it bust within about 12 hours by motorcycle

    The screen on my 8210 went twice as well. I still rate it as one of the best phones ever though.

    The Sony Ericsson T300 was pretty sluggish at times, but not as slow as the NEC e808 or NEC e313. The e313 was at least light compared to other 3G phones. The e808 had terrible battery life, massive weight and size, great screen and good memory, but a poor interface, so that's probably the runner-up of the phones I've had. I didn't much like the interface for the original Orange SPV phone either, but the size and weight was better.
    The worst for me was the Nokia 7110. It turned itself off at random times, and managed to make calls from my pocket on a regular basis. It nearly put me off ever owning a Nokia ever again (the NGage and 7600 I've found much more reliable as phones). The interface on the 7110 was OK, as was the design, etc. It was just the reliability that was shocking...

    7600 - a year later I still take an hour or so to text on it.

    Mind you, motorola 3788 was bad too.

    Nah, I stand by the 7600. Awful. Giving it to my cousin this weekend. She likes the camera on it lol!

    Anyway - what were the designers thinking? It feels like a brick, looks like a brick, you look like a f00l using it, no-one can hear you and the speakerphone is just terrible.

    At least it had bluetooth...

    Hard to tell, obviously I'm gonna dislike some older phones purely cause they didn't have any features, but I'd have to say the Sony Ericsson T610 was one of the worst I've had. Incredibly slow and used to crash all the time (thanks T-Mobile for the old firmware). I was wary about getting another SE, but I'm now using a K750i and its 100 times better, so much faster.

    My worst was a samsung, C100 I think. Horrible phone, terrible battery life, kept rebooting. Can't believe everyone is bashing the T610, I still have mine and love it
    meh

    Ngage for sure, nice idea, bad practice and huge phone.

    Plus you look like you have a cornish pasty on the side of your face when your talking on it.

    My pet hate was a Nokia 7650 (the one featured in the Tomb Raider movies)
    Although I liked the functionality I gradually came to hate that phone. It was big clunky and heavy and didn`t support voice over bluetooth so the hands free ear piece I paid £70 for didn`t work. I rejoiced the day I upgraded to my 6600

    Close Call...

    Panasonic G350, as the menu system was a nightmare to use, nothing was intuative or easy (keypads lock was 4 or 5 button presses as you got to it via the menu's), and most of the menu's were abbreviations that meant you needed the book to understand what to so to change anything or even call up the phone book...

    Motorola A830, First 3 phone, got on a cheap deal and was big, heavy and you were luck to get a day out of it on standby. Only reason thats not the worest ever is I bought it for £99 via a friend 's friend @ 3 got 3 months free useage, as they tested the 3g system prior to launch, and then I ebayed it for £454.

    Or the Wifes Siemens S45 I think, again crap menu systes, and the annoying Aircraft warning on switching it on...

    You'd have to be gutted if you were the person who bought it for £454...
