Whats the WORST phone you have ever owned?

[Funkstar]

Yeah i'd forgetten about that stupid warning on the Siemens phones

[Sticky Mick]

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.

And what was wrong with a surf-board and mobile phone combined?

The worst phone ive ever owned was that horrible Nokia music phone.
Can't recall the name now ...
It looked like the Nokia nGage but slightly smaller.
It was grim and a real monster ...

Ah i remember - the Nokia 3300!



Terrible!

But it was this phone that started the whole FREE phone and calls for a year contracts if I remember right.

I had an early Trium which always annoyed me

[Tiberius]

Gotta be motorola phones.

They annoy the hell out of me.

I got this one phone, video phone if I remember correclty.

Was terrible.

Always locked up. Grrrrrrr.

For me, it has to be the Motorola MR20 - the mother of brick phones - but that was many years ago. I tried the Erricson T68 - horrible also. Currently got the Nokia 6230 but now looking for an upgrade.

RAZR V3.

Worst. Phone. EVER.

[chud]

Nokia 7600 with really naff xpress-on coloured side panels that never fitted correctly- not to mention the phone was ergonomicaly designed by someone who had their ear and mouth twice as close togehter as everyone else.

T610. I don't think any single object has ever annoyed me so much. It would never get signal; even in the middle of London it would just cut out... It always turned itself off, and never turned back on again. Battery lasted approx. 26 seconds. The 3 key rarely worked. It died, for good, earlier this year, and it deserved to.

Back with Nokia now, and so much happier for it!

Samsung A300, eeeevil.

I had one of those My famiy called it the toilet phone It had the most godawful operating system I'd ever used, and the menu was painfully slow.

probably the motorola A835 when 3 had really cheap deals going. Huge for a "modern" phone, utterly useless battery (light-moderate useage meant it was dead before the end of the day) and crashed a fair bit. Ugly too.

I still have one of those as am emergency car phone. Got it on some weird monthly-but-pay as you go deal from 3, they keep sending me £0.00 bills 'cos I never use it. ****e battery life, but fantastic screen and call quality.

[mofo's]

NEC DB1000, menu's were sloooooooooooow

[Slamdog]

it was a toss up between two phones... the orange/microsoft sp100 and the motorola v500


i gave back the sp after 4 days cos it kept crashing but the v500 i kept almost a year because of the contract. it was a complete waste of time. crap camera, poor menus, crashing firmware etc....

My current phone, the K750I

Constant crashing/freezing, reboots when sending files via bluetooth to any other phone.

Backlight wont turn off at all, even though I have set in in the profile....

Now im just waiting for my contract to expire to get a new nokia...

have you done the firmware upgrade? it cures a lot of those problems on the earlier k750's

[RedPutty]

Worst was a siemens a few years ago. Had a terrible retarded interface and a ridiculously short battery life. I remember getting a nokia and being amazed that the battery lasted a week!

Those samsung a300s were annoying too because they had a constantly flashing LED on them, had a really annoying "battery low" beep and when you wanted to switch the phone off (say you were in a place where you werent allowed to have it on) then it gave a nice loud beeping sound to tell you it was switching off.. arghhh!
