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..

Re: what was your crapiest phone ever?
 

Toshiba portege g910.

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

Re: what was your crapiest phone ever?
 

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.

Re: what was your crapiest phone ever?
 

N97, sold it after 4 months.

Re: what was your crapiest phone ever?
 

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!

Re: what was your crapiest phone ever?
 

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.

Re: what was your crapiest phone ever?
 

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.

Re: what was your crapiest phone ever?
 

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

Re: what was your crapiest phone ever?
 

damn when i read this i start laughing.no clock?god damn....hahaha

Re: what was your crapiest phone ever?
 

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.

Re: what was your crapiest phone ever?
 

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

Re: what was your crapiest phone ever?
 

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!

Motorola Razor

Re: what was your crapiest phone ever?
 

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.

Re: what was your crapiest phone ever?
 

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

Re: what was your crapiest phone ever?
 

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! ;)

Re: what was your crapiest phone ever?
 

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

Re: what was your crapiest phone ever?
 

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

Re: what was your crapiest phone ever?
 

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

Re: what was your crapiest phone ever?
 

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).

Re: what was your crapiest phone ever?
 

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

Re: what was your crapiest phone ever?
 

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.

looooooooooooool

Re: what was your crapiest phone ever?
 

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

Re: what was your crapiest phone ever?
 

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.

Sony Ericsson T310
Just look at that ugly attachable camera :x

I wonder what does the 's' stand for? S*** maybe?
Mine came with dark blue flip cover. Just imagine its looks...

Im sorry, bad memories with sony ericsson.ericsson phones

Re: what was your crapiest phone ever?
 

A lot of people hate the SE 990i

Re: what was your crapiest phone ever?
 

Samsung Omnia 8GB

Slow Slow Slow, buggy buggy, crappy toughscreen, awful video recording, bad speaker, bad os and a 4 hour battery life, MMS didnt work

Good points
Nice sms function, thats about it

Re: what was your crapiest phone ever?
 

damn this phones are so ugly that im paralysed:(what was the designer thinking?or maybe he smoke some crack?lol

Re: what was your crapiest phone ever?
 

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. :)

Re: what was your crapiest phone ever?
 

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

Re: what was your crapiest phone ever?
 

n97..........

Re: what was your crapiest phone ever?
 

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.

Re: what was your crapiest phone ever?
 

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.

Re: what was your crapiest phone ever?
 

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.

Re: what was your crapiest phone ever?
 

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 :-)

Re: what was your crapiest phone ever?
 

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
