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.

Nokia N900, by far. :mad:

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

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.

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.

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. :)

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. ;)

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,

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.
