[atilla]

hello buddies.my question:what was your crapiest phone ever?with wich phone youve got the most problems?i start.so when im actually looking on my n900 and play snes hear musik and chat on msn i think every phone before the n900 was crap but most of them make there work good.but one makes me sick.jes i talk about the nokia n97.i bought it in the first week when it cames out and paid 580 euros:(and the phone was the biggest piece of crap ive ever seen.slow downs every 5 mins,3 chrashes a day,bugs and probs everywhere camera shoots everythink with a big white cloud and the browser crashes always down and the best is that because of my operator i cangt get any updates(o2 just 2 words- **** YOU!!)n97-see you in hell!!!!!!!

[UNderworld]

N900..
followed by BB Storm2 - couldnt cope with the clicky screen

All the others were worth their price
8210 - classic , small and sexy
loads of other Nokias were quality..

[ysss]

Toshiba portege g910.

It had a razor sharp 800x480 screen the size of 2.9"... and also Windows Mobile OS on it.
Both sucked.

[GameboyRMH]

Whatever cheap Motorola I had as my first phone. It wasn't bad, it worked OK, it was just very basic.

So I've gone cheapo Motorola --> Treo 180 --> Treo 650 --> Nokia N900 and I haven't been particularly unhappy with any of them. I was quite happy with the last three.

[MohammadAG]

N97, sold it after 4 months.

[Spotfist]

Old, old motorola. It had a one line lcd screen, and didn't even have a clock! I used to have to sms myself as the message had the time in it! Aaaaargh!

[andrewfblack]

Moved to off topic. Do you guys even read the Section descriptions?

BTW compared to todays phones StarTAC Wearable Phone, compared to phones when I first got it this one rocked.

You had a 1 line LCD screen that could send sms. I'm sure I didn't have my first phone with sms until like 2001.

[Spotfist]

hehehe what section was the thread under? Perhaps atilla was going somewhere with this ;)

[Ronaldo]

n97, installed some apps from ovi store and when i turned the phone on it wouldnt boot, continued trying for an hour booted and realised it was java app issue, uninstalled most of the boring apps.

[timwatt]

my n810 as my crapiest phone ever! flowed by my experience with an Ericson cant remember the model.

[fieldofcows]

Samsung Omnia. Good hardware. Very much let down by software.

It had many problems including having to wait many seconds before responding to simple things like answering the phone but the worst problem was that a process on the phone was causing battery drain resulting in the battery being flat after a few hours on occasions.

Apparently the problem had been fixed by Samsung but although I got the phone just after it was brought out, support for the phone was dropped by my network almost immediately meaning I got no "official" firmware updates. I ended up having to put a cooked ROM on it which fixed the battery issue but had many other serious bugs.

Glad to see the back of that one!

[kd_alex]

Motorola Razor

[kaz911]

Worst:
N900, SE X10, iMate Ultimate 95XX
(All examples of premature market release with lots of bugs and missing features)

Best phones (stil have and use them)
E90, E71, iPhone 3GS

I think the Internet has killed good phone development. Before people could upgrade firmware from home - Manufactures HAD to deliver quite high quality from that beginning - or they did not sell a lot. Who wanted to trek to a service centre to get the bugs fixed?

Now the big guys just release crap software - and then says "well lets just put it out there - and fix the bugs later - people can upgrade via Internet...) But then hardware is refreshed and renewed - and focus changes to the newer model.

Welcome to the engineers world of dreams. The land where you do not need to finish anything - and the world is in a constant beta test stage.

sry i think brainstorming was right.........

[Spotfist]

2001?!?!?! I think I had an old erricson sh888? that could send sms's and that must have been around 2000... maybe 2001. I will look for the motorola, I just remember that typing an sms was a ball ache even worse drunk cuz u would end up repeating ur message as u had no idea what was written before! hehehe the clock issue was reall annoying too! I wasted so much credit sms'n myself! ;)

[leetut]

easy, N97 FW1.0
would turn itself off everytime i really needed to use it!

[dbt1984]

Sony Ericson T68i was rubbish, after all that hype too!!!

[vietn900]

the very first MOTO RAZR V3 . That's when I stop using MOTO phones! I breaks down when nothing happens to it. No drops, no misuse, nothing! and one day it stop working lol

[hannu.mikkola]

Worst phone was probably Siemens CF-62 (?). Most of the time it spend at the Powermill for repairing.

First one was Nokia 1631 (year was 1995). Best have been Nokia 6110 (first 6110 model at year 1999).

[kavekave]

n97 ...returned it after 3 months of using...slow and full of bugs

[Rauha]

I'm bit ashamed to write about it, but I bought MotorolaV.box about ten years ago.

To give you an idea how bad phone it was, I'll just mention that it didn't even have a microphone. Yes, you read that right. A phone without a microphone. It did come with a head-set that had a microphone. Too bad that the headset had a propietory connector that was only manufactured by Motorola. Sales people in finnish phone shops had good laughs when I asked them if they stocked that headset.

Bought it from a sale bin for few pennies as a back-up phone for binge drinking etc. Expectations were not very high, but it failed on even those.

[Erebo]

IPhone 2G , after two months really hated it, never buy another iphone

[mehdiE]

Samsung D500 definitely for me.

Won this in a competition back in 2003 or 2004. At the time, this phone was the king of the mobile world, getting rave reviews on just about every web site and magazine. It was one of the most expensive non-smartphone mobile on the market (together with the original Motorola Razr) but it looked great and had the most impressive list of features ever (for the time).

I was really looking forward to finally getting a proper phone (at the time all I could afford were the cheapest and crappiest PAYG mobiles) and getting to use one of the best mobile ever. Unfortunately, once I finally got it, it turned out that each and every feature had been so badly designed and implemented that they were all completely and utterly useless. That phone was only good for making phone calls and sending text messages (and even at that, it did quite badly).

One example that sums it all quite well was the built-in MP3 player. It was a rare (and desirable) feature in mobile phones at that time. Only problem was that it only had 80MB of non-expandable memory - just about enough to store one and a half album.

That alone wouldn't have been a deal-breaker except that despite its sky-high price, the phone didn't even come with a USB cable. So you had to use bluetooth to transfer your music - easily took half and hour to transfer an album.

I could have lived with that but the problem was was you couldn't use the phone at all when it was receiving files via bluetooth (no background transfer). So your phone was out of service for half and hour every time you wanted to transfer music.

I guess I could have lived with that too but things didn't get any better once you finally had your music on the damn thing. You had to use the supplied (and really crap) earphones to listen to your music as it used a proprietary connector instead of a standard headphone jack. Impossible to use your own headphones, no even an adapter was available.

I suppose it still wasn't the end of the world but then the maximum volume was so low that it was simply impossible to hear anything when trying to listen to music in a noisy street. Bit of a problem.

The icing on the cake was that you couldn't do anything else with your phone when you were listening to music. Whenever you received a text message, you had to exit the music player (and stop the music) to be able read it.

When you launched the music player again, it of course didn't remember when it left off. So you had to browse your whole playlist again, find the tune you were listening to and play it from the start again. Icing on the icing: there was no fast forward feature so you it was simply impossible to skip to were you left off.

Needless to say that it all went downhill from there.

HTC Touch HD. My first and last Windows phone.
Even custom cooked ROM didn't help much.

All other ones were proper phones for theirs times. :)

i had an nokia 3210 before n900 and it was laggy and unresponsive, even though there was only text on the screen

[sevla]

n97..........

[imperiallight]

i had an nokia 3210 before n900 and it was laggy and unresponsive, even though there was only text on the screen

This was a great new phone when I got it in 1999 to the envy of my freinds. I refuse to hear bad things about it.

[cb22]

A lot of people hate the SE 990i

That would be me... I absolutely despised that phone. When I got a Nokia E51, it was like everything was good again. Applications didn't randomly close on you, the phone took quicker than 10 minutes to start up, and no crappy SE Memory Card.

On a tangential note, the Motorola E398 was an awesome phone. I owned one in 2004... It had good speakers, a MicroSD slot, cool flashing lights, it could multitask (well, through a hack), and was torn to pieces by hackers... I fondly remember flashing it for the first time with the firmware for the upgraded E1, which gave it video recording and iTunes. Bear in mind that this was not a smartphone at all... The last I checked, it's been completely cracked, and native ELF binaries can be run on it through a Java loader.

[chase15]

worst phone i guess is n900 that overclocked @ 900mHz with lots of crap apps like the open office.. the crapiest than you can access the root... the most s*** thing is the 32gb memory+ micro sd slot... the damn screen.. with 800x480 resolution and the resistive touch screen that you can use any pointed material... plus the worst browser on a mobile phone which renders true website and plays flash content.... one more worst thing about that phone is the 5 mp camera with dual led flash.. i hate those thing... another one is this damn community that no one ever help someone when they need help.. I'll never buy an n900 again... n900:worst phone.

[buxz777]

has to be the n97 for me

any phone where the camera lens cover does the opposite of what it supposed to and a gps that wont work is a nightmare and a badly designed handset

it was horrible owning it , scared to use the camera , couldnt use the gps , low c drive , bad ram , bad processor choice for live homescreens , the whole device mustv skipped testing and quality control

i got through 4 of them via returns before i gave up

no phone has caused me so many problems in the 1st few months and i reckon alot of people would agree , i think it took nokia what 4-6 months to fix the hardware issues

the n900 seems to be what i wanted from the n97 so i got there in the end

now iam looking forwards to the n8 and seeing how that does , iam a sucker for xenon flash on a mobile :-) if i could add one feature to the n900 it would be xenon :-)

[badarnawazkhan]

erm im 16 so my crappiest phone was probably a 7210 after that the shiitiest phone i had was a w800i and after that i had a few good phones then i got an n900 wich i regret so much will definetley swap it for iphone 4gs when it comes out

[Kwljunky]

n96
by
a
mile

[tusharmax]

The best - N95 (quite ahead of the time, still love it)
Average - Sony Ericsson p910 , nokia 5800
The worst - Nokia communicator (one of the first series, dont remember the name though)
Epic fail - O2 xda IIs ,(unreliable, mediocre , fkd up network)

I am still wondering what went wrong with my judgement when i purchased n900 .. A great device with no reliable future.

[gabby131]

nokia 3230, from hardware to bugs of software

[chrget]

Nokia N900, by far. :mad:

At least it makes up for it a bit by being a lovely pocketable linux system. :D

[gryedouge]

Try this one on for size

http://www.gsmarena.com/bosch_com_607-135.php

I had it for 3 months before i threw it under a passing van. Problem solved.

[Nipperoid]

Also, im pretty sure the Samsung Omnia was alive, the camera stopped working after 9 months of owning it, and after almost 11 months i looked at a 5800 and said i need that phone, it died that night... so i got my 5800... and then an n900 shortly after.

[afaq]

so much hate for n900. really the worst phone ya'all ever had? really? its by far my favourite.

N97 the worst for me too. just before i gave it away its latest update made the phone a lot more usable but still not for me.

[smoku]

so much hate for n900. really the worst phone ya'all ever had? really? its by far my favourite.

The Phone app on the N900 is piece of crap by todays standards. Lets admit it.

The rest of the pocketable personal microcomputer is great. :)

[xomm]

Oh man, I remember when I had to use my mom's Kyocera Marbl after I lost the SIM for my basic old Samsung (long story...).

It takes 5 seconds to bring up the contacts menu, and another 3 seconds to move between entries.

Plus I had to endure the ridicule of my peers, even though it wasn't even my phone. The N900 definitely stopped their cynicism. ;)

[Dr. Drips]

The Phone app on the N900 is piece of crap by todays standards. Lets admit it.

It's related to what you expect and want from a phone.
I don't really understand what is crap about the phone app.
It's very easy to use apart from calling someone, but that is tricky with most touchphones. the messaging is simply brilliant!

my crappiest phone would be the LG Viewty,

[etuoyo]

As a phone my N900 is my worst by a long long long long way. Phone is missing all the functions I have become used to on Symbian for the last 10 years. of course it has 48gb memory and conboy and gpodder which makes it rank far ahead all my previous phones as a device in general. But as a phone only it gets its head kicked in badly.

[TheMathMan]

Nokia 7600. Utter tosh!!!

I mean... who chooses to make a phone in that shape with that keyboard layout!

[nermaljcat]

Palm Treo - was given it to use when in Chicago for a contract... the stupid phone kept de-registering itself from the cell network and needed to be rebooted in order to re-register.

I missed lots of calls because of that stupid phone.

Never BUY LG MOBILE PHONE!

Go for apple nokia or htc the rest is ****. I am wondering Apple. They brought out some little No-feature-Handys but the apple iphone 3G is still costs around 300€. The 3gS Around 400-600€ Thats awesome. You get N900 for around 350€ new with a little bit luck.

[Rebeldiamond]

N900, so much anticipation, so little substance.

[se23]

lg shine that phone was disgusting!

[Freemantle]

N900.

never had a phone with so much potential that never realised it.

Question of expectations really. with every other phone I knew what I was getting into and didn't expect much more.

With the N900, I knew what I was getting into and expected so much more. Hence, it is my crapiest phone ever.

[festivalnut]

samsung d500, i was going to rant about all its failings but mehdie nailed most of them earlier in this thread, the spec was brilliant at the time but it failed so bad in practice, 5mp camera seemed great, 2 second lag between click and pic actually being taken coupled with an achingly long exposure ruined every photo i took. sent it back under 14 day cooling off period and went back to my payg nokia

http://www.cntr.salford.ac.uk/comms/resources/artefacts/sonycmr111.jpg

My first mobile.

If i remember correctly I originally bought some sort of Bosch phone that was quite cheap and handily came with 2 batteries - only to discover that the reason there were 2 batteries was that it had a 4 hour battery life and you needed both to get through a working day.

Took it back the next day and bought this Sony, simultaneously the best and worst phone I have ever had, I absolutely loved it, but it had no functionality/practicality and you were always worried the boom mic would break, it never did though and the call quality was great.

It couldn't store numbers but instead came with a calculator type thing that numbers could be stored on and then recalled and transmitted via infra-red to the CMR-111.

Utterly useless but if I could get a 3G one today I would be tempted.

Nokia 9210, such a let down after the 9110. The 9500 was amazing to follow it though. I love my n97 and n900, I'm surprised at such n97 hate. It's one I've missed the most after switching, even 9300 to e90 (I own every single nokia communicator style phone).

[porselinaheart]

hmmm, been using nokia for ages, but unabashedly i gotta say the n97, the damn thing was laggy as hell, not what i expected from nokia's 'top-end' model, Gawd, it almost even dissuaded me from getting my n900......oh the horror! :p

[316comp]

easy. Motorola A830. One of the first batch of 3G phones released when Three started up in Australia.

Ugly. Massive. UI was terrible. Didn't always work properly (though could have been 3 network related).

I went in for a job interview at Motorola, and was thinking of bringing in the phone so that I could tell them I wanted to work for them so that *this* would NEVER happen again!

Samsung Memoir, I returned 3 memoirs and cancelled the service with that line. I was TIRED of being stuck with my N82 for 2 years and lost my mind for a moment to the 8MP hype only to find out that NOBODY makes hardware components like Nokia. The audio recording is junk on Non nokia phones due to cheap microphone/speaker combinations. Memior ruined wedding videos, same goes for the Highlight, Cliq and HD2: All subpar hardware components. Record a video with loud background noise on a non Nokia and you will hear the difference. Even the E63 records better audio during videos than most competitor devices.

Came free with a new plan I took. Was super thin, but otherwise gargantuan. I returned it the same day and upgraded to Philips Spark.

http://www.gsmarena.com/philips_spark-144.php

Now that thing was good. I finally replaced it after several years of intercontinental travel and faithful service, with in my mind the best simple phone on the planet, the Siemens S35. I still have very fond memories of it.

http://www.gsmarena.com/siemens_s35i-95.php

I then upgraded to the next crappiest phone, the 3G NEC e606, but I actually kept this one since it was the ONLY pocketable choice on 3 Australia when the service was launched. The other alternative was that hideous Motorola thing already mentioned, and it was huge.

http://www.gsmarena.com/nec_e606-481.php

Two good things about that NEC phone were that the video calling actually worked and that was nice, and it was the first widely used phone (in Australia at least) that had a super high quality sample of an old telephone's metallic bell ring tone.

Of course before these, I had numerous analogue phones, including the second generation Motorola brick, a tiny Ericsson and countless company issue Nokia GSM phones, so I have some perspective...

Still wouldn't call it my "crappest" phone ever though.

Man....No wonder nokia acknowledged that hey have failed with the N97.

Was counting the posts this far and Most number of votes went for the N97. Any guesses for the second place....our faithful N900.

wld certainly agree, as the OP was asking for a 'phone', wld vote for N900 as the worst 'phone' I ever had, but its the best mobile Internet device I ever used

I must say to all you guys who are posting their 10-15yr old "ringers" as the worst phone you have ever owned... You are very lucky:)

This has to be my worst phone of all time
http://images.intomobile.com/wp-content/uploads/2007/09/tmobile-sidekick-slide-announced-11.jpg

Apart from it looking link Michael Knights TomTom, it was a well built and sturdy handset, but that was the only good thing about it.

My history with mobile phones were a sony Z5, N-Gage GD&QD and two Windows Mobile handsets (SDA and MDA). So to get a phone early 2007 that was locked to a single app store, where you could not put your own ringtones/MP3s on it, did not come with a calculator out of the box and had to pay £5 for the privalage of having an Alarm Clock was absolutely shocking.

People may mock Apple for their DRM & Brainwashing eco system but they have nothing on what Danger had over their drones on the community site. Those poor sods had been quoting the words "the Next big update with customisable tones will come in the next month" for two and a half years and you would not want to complain about not being able to put your own wallpaper on the screen. That would soon give a barrage of irate replies informing you of the large variety of desktop screens to download from the store. (Actually it was more like choose a screen from any one of your 6 favourite R&B acts for £2 each)

Then there was the weekly trips to T-Mobile...

1st Trip: They told me I had to D'load the Calculator and Alarm Clock. (yes I kicked up enough of a stink to get the clock for free)

2nd Trip: For them to inform me that "We will be getting customisable tones in the next big update". (see above)

3rd Trip: For advice on how to add you own wallpapers? When discussing with the store member that this is not as customisable as I was initially lead to believe, she countered my argument by presenting her own sidekick with a huge leopard print overlay sticker from ebay stuck to it. (Honestly I am not Joking here)

Last Trip: For a refund. They said no but reassured me that these were very popular and that I should keep it. They then went on to add in the TV show The OC, everyone has them and that is why they are great. Obviously she had no idea what Product placement.

I walked straight out of T-Mobile that day and straight into my local Computer Exchange (CEX) store, where they were happy to trade the handset for a second hand N95 and some store credit :)


Oops, sorry for the rant, lol

[tebsu]

i had some kinda nokia that looked like the 7250 but it was black and it could resist water and had a compass and stuff. this wasnt bad, it was actually a good one (throw it against a wall, the wall will break down) and then i thought "its time for a new one". Ok i went to the shop with the thought "well, maybe some smartphone".. then i checked out whats good and what not. after an hour or so, i was at the point "i need some damn good smartphone" and then, 2 days later, i bought the N97 mini... so happy when i had it, turned it on and immediatly wanted to check out all functions. then, i opened the menu and was soooo disappointed, that the animation was so slow and very low on the fps. i sold it 4 days later and bought a new n900 instead. that was the best day in my life. its like you get married with ... well.. with some awesome piece of **** that makes your life. it seems that i have no life and yes, that might be correct. i have nothing to add.

[ysss]

Well I've only done research for the Rokr and the N900 so I don't get what your point is. Care to explain?

This is also my worst phone ever. The headset was so flimsy it stopped working in two days. A month after buying it it just stopped working. It was my first and last Moto. Never again

Worst phone was probably Siemens CF-62 (?).
I had this too, and boy was it crap! The specs seemed OK, but the actual phone was terrible. I think that Siemens actually dropped out of the phone business soon after that.

The N97 seems to have been a disaster :D along with these bad stories, I can add one from a friend:

It was like an N97 Crank edition, as soon as it turned off, it wouldn't go on again. So she had to keep it on all the time, always having a charger around, sort of the same as what Jason Statham did.

She's gotten 3 replacement N97's in total, all with the same problem. Then she was allowed to take a different model :p


I almost chose the N97 with my new 2 year subscription, but while browsing the internet, my eye caught a small image of a device that was a little bit more expensive. The N900! best phone I ever had hahah and I could've missed the small picture and wouldn't even have known about it..

Hi,

Worst phones;
- The Samsung SGH-i300 - Windows phone with a 3GB harddrive - drained battery like crazy - sold
- FSC LooX T830 - also Windows, flawed h/w keyboard - sold
- N93 - great h/w and camera but buggy s/w - sold
- X6 - highly overrated "version" of the xm5800 (IMO) - returned within 30 days...

In my experience... the samsung star . . . i couldnt even download themes and there were two crappy themes to choose from. . . i never bought a samsung phone again. . . when i got my n900 . . . its pretty decent. . . everything was customizable . . . everything was perfect with the n900 except for the part where nokia stopped supporting it . . . why dont they learn from apple, they upgrade their devices almost everytime a bug in their OS comes out. . . but over all... the n900 is a good phone....
