Worst Cellphone Ever

Recommended Posts

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?

The worst cell phone that I have ever had is the imate Jasjar, also known as the HTC Universal. The USB charger stopped working within a couple of days of getting it. I didn't bother to go to get the warranty repairs before the taxi fare of going all the way and getting a replacement and heading back is worth more than the price of a USB charging adapter. By the end of the year, the battery wouldn't last as long as I would have hoped and it lasted much longer than it should have. Finally, when the year was up, the battery died too - it could barely stay turned on for more than five minutes. Right now, it will not run on battery at all and the boot-up sequence takes it into a loop... it powers up when connected to the charger, but then it doesn't get enough power so it abruptly powers off, then it tries to start up again. Other than the battery, it was rather nice. With a couple of extra buttons on the keypad, it would make a great way to connect to a Telnet or SSH session using Putty for PocketPC (that's an alliteration). What it needs is a Ctrl key and an Alt key (I think it has one of the two, but can distinctly remember that it had a Shift key like almost all smartphones). BTW, I used Remote Desktop on it too, which wasn't all that much usable but it was fun fun considering that the display was larger than most other phones and had a stylus to position the mouse cursor. The stylus interface also made it fun to draw something and send it across to somebody. Running Windows was a plus, but this was around the time of a new Visual Studio release when Microsoft decided to drop support for the older mobile operating system so I never really got to do much development with it.
