That's shameful. A few years back I had extensive experience of budget handsets through work and without fail the sonyericssons were the best of the (bad) bunch. Crap screens but decent keypads, good call quality and fairly robust battery life.
Touch unsensitive buttons and a stupid d-pad. What were they thinking?!Alfie said:
MC60....crap thing
than it will be some sort of bosh never learnt how to text on that thing....
my best phones I had happen to be SE apart from the one i got now is disappointing I should say (screen is rubbish, poor batt) don't mean its a bad phone through

Motorola V600. Looked nice, had cool lights on the front, but the additional LCD was severely under-utilised, build quality was iffy and the software on it was crap.
One nice thing was that it had a text message reminder tone (which some phones today still don't have), but after sending it back to Motorola for repairs, they'd upgraded the software which removed that feature, for some bizarre reason.

How is that the worst phone you've ever used?!
Its a basic phone that does nothing wrong!
That phone is one of the best of all time, next to the 3210.
Probably one of those original 3 network phones when they first came out n 2004, I had the flip one. It was awful, really slow OS and really slow to text on and was forever freezing and it came with an extra stupidly bigger battery as a spare, ended up buying my mate's old Motorola flip phone to use for a year before I got the SE K800i.
Another recent phone that I have came across in my GF's Samsung Tocco Ultra. This really is a terrible phone, my GF has had it for just over a year now and it's been back to Carphone Warehouse now 3 times because of the same problems - keeps turning itself off/restarting randomly, really slow OS in general, freezing. It's also impossible to text on and the touch screen is absolutely appauling. She told me last night that the problems have returned and I will need to take the phone back in for a 4th time... great. This time I'm going to demand the CPW To give me a new Samsung Tocco Ultra as this is ridiculous. Everytime I asked them about the phone's repair they have always told me the same things - the phone has had a newer firmware version installed and has fixed all of the problems, obviously not. They lied this time as the firmware version currently on the phone is the same one that it had before I took the phone in for repair this time.

I had the original RAZR as soon as it was released for about £350, begged my mum for that because it was soooo cooool 
Fortunately someone stole it
It's surprising thinking that it wasn't actually that much smaller than my current Desire, yet was touted as one of the smallest/thinnest phones at the time

it was too common but it was not a bad phone....the ring tones sucked through man I loved playing snacks and the interchangeable covers
I think we should rename this thread to the best/worst phones
in which case mine has to be the K800i with the k750 following they never failed me once or froze....didn't feel cheap...easy to use can multi task etc

Tocco Ultra is one of my favourite phones I've ever owned!
Same here, there seems to be two schools in the phone world, those that never get a phone problem and those that apparently go through half a dozen of the same phone because it's "rubbish"...
Having said that maybe it's because I make sure I get the phone I want?
Nokia 5210: Yay! Lasted me around 5 years of bouncing before it finally broke. Texted and made calls, also had Snake!
SE T610: First SE phone borrowed from my mum, who was given it by my sister after about 3 years of use. Rubbish camera by todays standards but overall a good phone. It was one of the reasons I went for the..
SE K750: An epic phone, excellent camera, played music and had some good games
SE K800: Well you have to update to the new one! Even better camera and a proper flash, the main annoyance was the lack of LED...
SE K850: Much sexier phone than the K800 and it had a flash. The media player was pretty good too. Just a shame it had a load of rubbish trial games on..
HTC Touch HD: I love it, was a bit slow before I flashed it, ever since it's been excellent.
??: Still trying to decide what to get, amazingly I haven't got bored of the HD yet.
The only time I've ever had to send a phone back was with the K750. I got it at release and it would occasionally reset for no reason. Sent it back a couple of weeks after I got it, reflashed with the newest "rom" and it worked perfectly since.
Ah yeah, the V3. The thinnest flip phone, but also the widest...
and the most delicate it would seem, according to my friends...Touch unsensitive buttons and a stupid d-pad. What were they thinking?!
What do you mean unsensitive? I never had a problem with them (in fact they are the reason I went with a fully touchscreen phone for my next one). They did however start to die about 11 months in, probably because of the massive amount of water the phone ingested in it's life (Used to stick it in a sholder pocket where it would get wet from rain and sweat when I was out. The d-pad was annoying, think it was directly caused by the few issues with the joystick clogging up on the older ones.
