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!

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.
