Whats the worst mobile you ever had?
Digital handsets only please or there won't be enough room on the website:rolleyes:
For me it's the Dancall DC1 i had on Orange, it couldn't even send texts, battery lasted 1/2 a day.
Also the SE K850i is a fine contender:sleep:
or what about the very un user friendly ericsson erm... cant remember the model but it was a bit like the coca cola one but slightly smaller, and had less features. I didn't actually buy one you understand, i was unfortunate enough to be given one to try and use at work.

Totally agree. Can't even set message tones! What the hells that all about?!
I've got the 300i and I quite like it.
Probably the LG U8201 for me (I think that was the model number). Canny phone that would just die for no apparent reason, and that was it. New phone needed.
Put me off Motorola phones for good even though I bet the new ones are much better.
The NEC e313?. Gosh that was a bad phone. A friend bought one of these when they were £19.99 (including £20 of free credit!) at Woolworths. It had a swivel camera on the top, when you turned it around the picture was upside down! The case was painted plastic which rubbed off after a couple of weeks. He never managed to make a video call on it, the screen would go white and then the phone would re-start.
Yep i despise those. I would be using it, either trying to make a video call, send a text, use the camera, make a standard call etc etc and the classic "restart" kicked in, white screen then it restarted, pieces of crap!
I never touch Samsungs because i find that the batteries run out quicker than anything else and for the reason of you cant set your own message tones. They have been years behind the others on this and i think the very latest ones can finally let you set them!
True. The D900 is ok for setting your own message tones. Still crap phones particularly aimed at the female market i would dare to say. The other half has one, but anything that drains a battery quickly, thus disabling her attempts to talk to me is not such a bad thing !:D
Samsung E870 - recently had one as a courtesy phone when my k800 had to be repaired. Like other Sammy's, what could be a nice mob was let down by horrid firmware - far too many key presses just to send a text to someone in the contacts list; the size of the phone, its thickness, and the key spacings were just right to make my thumbs get cramp while using the phone, especially when writing texts; I kept finding myself unintentionally saving what I'd written to Drafts; removing my SIM was a bit of a challenge, the phone almost completely swallowing it.
Come on Sammy, you have some great ideas, why not implement them properly?
Sony Ericsson F500i - Would either just restart or the screen would disappear into little white dots which would fill the screen then it would restart. Kept freezing too and poor battery, this was also a Vodafone exclusive meaning custom MP3's would not set as a ringtone. You had to buy ringtones from Vodafone live.
Sharp TM100 - This is a T-Mobile exclusive. Got this when it was brand new out, there was no support for it and no downloads or accessories available for quite a while, sold it a couple of months later and i dont really like Sharp phones anyway.
Motorola V545 - Orange exclusive. Poor battery, lack of memory (5MB in total) and bluetooth that takes almost a day to receive/send just one file.
Nokia 6600 - My first S60 phone. I liked it, but like most early S60 phones, they had their freezing/restarting problems and this one was well known for that.
NEC e313 & e616 - Poor battery and were only any good as paperweights because as soon as you tried to do something, you got a white screen then a restart!
Samsung E900 - Annoying touch sensitive buttons which seemed to always do what you didnt want them to do. Also the one i had would send videos through bluetooth and when the phone or pc received the video, there was no video just sound. Same with pics, take a pic with the camera and bluetooth it to a pc or a phone, when it was received the top half of the pic would be there with the middle down corrupted.
Motorola KRZR K1 - Bluetooth kept failing during transfer and its a Motorola, nuff said!
Nokia 6280 - Went back to the shop after about a month, would freeze then restart even when writing texts!
I really am not keen on Samsung, Motorola or Sharp so i stay well clear now lol
Lovely phone but it would turn its backlight on randomly even when closed and drain the battery.
To be honest I've never had high expectation of phones so probably less bothered by shortcomings.
HTC wasn't great. Short battery life, very slow and looking at it know, very small screen.
Huawei G300 - very sluggish and I never thought the battery was great
Those are the only brands I will not go near ever again. I've had a Samsung Galaxy S5 since September 2015 and it's getting near the time when I will have to replace it. I will definitely be sticking with that brand when it comes to getting a new phone.
Yeah I though I'd give people enough time to give their opinions 😂
My first 'smartphone', it had a touch screen that you had to use a stylus or plectrum with. Came complete with Nokia Maps, if you signed up for a monthly subscription fee (Google Maps immediately killed that feature dead in the water). Ran Symbian, so you had to pay for every app, and there were hardly any decent ones.
Best of all, it used to crash regularly, and require a hard reset. No matter how much battery you had when it happened, by the time it had restarted you'd be on less than 15%.
On two separate occasions I actually needed it to work to rearrange travel arrangements in an emergency, and both times it crashed and ran out of battery. It was on the second such occasion I decided to dump it and vow never to buy Nokia again.
Eventually some trade-in company offered me £1.50 for it, which I never received. Even they must have worked out it was a worthless piece of ####!
