After going through various topics on this part of the forum, I found out that there wasn't a topic that bring in the discussion of the worst ever cellphone that one has had. I thought of starting one because i have had experiences that aren't pleasant with quite a few ones.I would start with the first cellphone that I had, it was a Samsung C100, back then having a phone with polyphonic ringtones was quite a deal.I remember it was the time when the prime recommendation would be a Nokia phone, but I opted for a Samsung, probably the reason was the quality of the wallpapers which were displayed in colors and polyphonic ringtones, it was considered a revolutionary device back then, but it started to show its true colors as problems with the charge of the battery begun, I had to keep on charging it every half an hour and the phone was always out of the network's reach. It frustrated me so much that I had to let it go into the garbage bin.My next venture was a Nokia 7610, I remember saving a lot to get this one for myself but it didn't take long to shatter all my excitement. The phone looked stylish but remained in the hung state for most of the time. It freaked the hell out of me after an incident. There was an event when my mom wasn't doing well, my family members tried calling me, as I was about to pick the phone up, it got hung, it was so bad that I wasn't even allowed to call them back.I took it to the store where they said that many of the handsets had been returned as there were software issues with the phone and I decided that the phone would meet the same fate.The recent experience involves my husband who used a Nokia E63, it looked good and served well, but after a period of about 10 months the phone went ghostly........yes it did,something kept on getting typed automatically and refused to be brought under control, we need to get to the store now to let the ghost out of the phone , but I could include it in the list.Lot of my experiences by now, how does your list look like?

With the recent trend shifting vigorously towards smartphones, many websites have found success with providing useful information about these toys. The best known of these would be the XDA community. Because there are two many smartphones out there, and because there are different levels of smartphone users, people talk alot about these toys. There are tutorials, how-tos, guides, questions, answers and all sorts of useful (and useless) stuff.But the important point is that the number of people looking for information related to smartphones is increasing and it is happening quickly. Unfortunately, the smartphone category is not so well represented here at Xisto. As a member of the community, and a smartphone enthusiast, I feel that this category should be more prominent and it should receive more attention.So I propse to the admins that a separate section should be created for smartphone-related discussion. This main section can then be divided into sub-sections on the basis of smartphone platforms (e.g. android, iOS, Blackberry, Windows phone etc). And then each section can have its own software and hardware related discussions.I have included a poll with the post, so please let the admins know what you think about the subject...
