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

You should've said..

"None of my devices sucked... because I've always researched my purchase well."

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

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-cont...nounced-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

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.

lol sorry, cause that's an ongoing remark for people who 'make mistake buying phones that don't suit them' in this forum.

You'd be a perfect example of that.
