Worst phone you've ever used?

Doesn't matter how old. What was the worst, and why?

The Ericsson A1018s.
Why?
For one simple reason - the keypad. Holy mother of all that is holy, the keypad on this phone SUCKED. It was virtually unusable, typing a message would take an eternity because the keypad felt cheap and awful and the input was SO SLOW it was unbearable. It'd take forever for characters to appear on the screen and half the time it wouldn't even recognize your touches. It was one of those scenarios where you would press the button harder and harder til your fingers bled even though it made no difference.
Thank god I don't think I actually owned this phone myself, believe it was my dads for a time who only used it for calls.
The aerial was probably the biggest I'd ever seen on a phone pre-2000, but was kinda cool. It had a sharp point at the bottom of the aerial if you removed it which you'd never get through airport customs in 2010.
This would have been a cool little mobile if it wasn't for the keypad. They even gave you 3 coloured clip-on fronts.
This phone was also called the 'coca cola' phone to some people as I believe Coke had a competition to win this phone on collecting a million ringpulls or something.
A girl I quite fancied bought one after her Motorola got stolen too, it took her years to reply to my texts which made it frustrating to flirt with her even though I had a usable handset myself! Very unfair!
So f**k this phone! What's your worst?

SmS2 ... coincidentally i happen to have used exactly this one...and it was also my Dads passed on to me when i came at the age of using mobile which was 18 yrs at that time ....
but considering the time it was launched..it was a nice phone... with some cool features..
One thing i still remember is that it had the option of switching to line 1 and line 2 even when their was one SIM slot...may be operators that time thought later on thay would provide this option on a single sim
Even the antenna used to work when we removed the extension and i the add on tacky Vibrator had to be purchased separately
Why i liked it...i cud be used as a brick at the time of emergencies

LOL - I kind of have a soft spot for it too. I like all of the oldskool GSM phones really, very durable and, well, phonelike! Motorola M3788 was my first, probably the easiest 0-9 keypad style phone for texting I ever had. Could never see myself going back to one of those though now I'm spoiled by Qwerty, Swype and the like.
Simpler times when the only worry you had was how the HELL you'd afford to keep the thing topped up. No worrying about compatibility, roms, OS's and all of the other stuff we've become accustomed to needing!
Wait a minute, I bought an HD2 for an easier life. BRB - checking my attic.

All my cellies b4 da G1 sucked lool. Specially maa Razr.

Luckyly I did not buyed and sold after 2 days usage

Really can't put into words how bad it was.....

iPhone or more like iPhail.....

for me - iphone

it was also the iphonie for me.

Reception was awful and it weighed a tonne!!

We still have one of those Ericsson A- series same one as the picture! All boxed with everything. Branded: BT CELLNET. But it doesnt work

Can you provide with a zoomed in picture of your phones?

I know this is a lot of pictures and I "think" these reflect my cell evolution since the 90's I'm missing a whole bunch of them...when I worked for Verizon, they will give me every single new phone to demo it

If hes anything like me, he changes phones about every 2-3 months. I just get board with them and want something new or the latest, even if its a downgrade.

I am no longer a rebel. and I feel if everyone is going to have the same kind of phone as me, it might as well be the higher probability of sex iphone, right? Anyone else feeling the same way?

I notice more people coming to android over iOS. I think it's a good thing, until they retardedly call every android phone a DROID.
I'm a rebel, I still use a WM6.5 device and a WP7 device.
Next phone is going to be an android phone, after I love my new tablet and modding it... But who cares if you are a rebel or not? The new rebel will be having a bleeding edge ROM on everything to distinguish yourself from the sheep!

Two things:
1. I'm still a rebel for using Android. I'm a rebel because I have rooted, S-OFF'ed, and flashed a cutting edge ROM so sharp, it'll make your girlfriend pregnant.
2. Not that many Android users in Malaysia. Yet.

How does having an android phone making a rebel. Knowing how to use it and customizing it to the best of its ability is what makes you a rebel. Be proud you have one and hack it to no end, Im a rebel because i make my own launcher icons, docks and wallpapers MYTOUCH 4G + Photoshop CS5 = <3

+1 to that.
Any more recommendations like that and I'll have to learn to Photoshop for my own icons

although more people are switching to android, i still feel that i'm a 'rebel' cause i've rooted and customized my inspire 4g.
most android users here in australia are still n00bs and got stock bloatware from their respective telcos

I am a rebel. I went through 3 iterations of the iPhone (2G, 3G, 3Gs) before I got fed up with Apple and switched.
And yes. I HATE people who call all Android Phones Droids. I remember being in an AT&T store when an older women comes in asking if they sell "Droids" there
I'm the proud owner of the fastest current phone on the market .
Sent from my Atrix 4G using the XDA App

i have to tell someone everyday that all android os phones are not called droids as they look at me with a stupid look on there face i swear everytime im around someone with a iphone they try and punk me about android so i ask one question what does your (JITTERBUG) i phone do that my android want? they always say well its an iphone! WTF!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Should I wait for the iPhone 5 or buy an Android Phone now?

I have a 16 GB iphone 4 that I have had for about 1 years. I recently dropped and now have a couple of lines of dead pixels at the top of the screen.

Well if the screen size is all you are concerned with, go Android. But if you prefer better hardware, more functional software, better support, easier mods, and cheaper apps you need to definitely go with....wait.... Android there too.

Yea plus you can take advantage of the hardware and software! Once ice cream sandwhich drops then iphones will be crushed!?!?

Android forever!

If you want something functional take an android, and yes there are loads of screen sizes to choose from, while devices by the fruit dont have much variation

Please buy an iPhone5. There's enough stupid questions in the Android forums as it is

-How cruel is the golden rule, when the lives we live are all golden plated-

If u want to be dominated by Big Brother, then get the iphonie...

i will make this simple for you... if you dont know much about computers or electronics, and dont care to. get an iphone. if are a huge techy guy, and plan on being a power user of your phone (somebody who treats it more like a computer and not a phone) then do yourself a favor and get a high end android phone - top of the line, cutting edge.
iphones are bland, for soccer moms, and people who love having AMAZING hardware, with no in depth user functionality.
IF YOU LIKE PLAYING ANGRY BIRDS... AND TEXTING... AND CHECKING EMAILS...AND THAT'S IT........ get an iphone.
if you are a boring, sad individual, who loves a socialist society and socialist phones and socialist phone carriers who force their socialism by saying "use this, it looks like this, just like everybody else" then get an iphone.
if you like iphones, maybe you can have xibit pimp your ride...

With all the joking in this thread I think I should step in and be the serious one. I would not buy either phone for the next two weeks. The iPhone 5 announcement and also a Samnsung event with google are both scheduled for the next two weeks and if at all possible I would wait for these events. The Nexus Prime and the iPhone 5 will be cutting edge when they are released.

You should sellout and buy a WP7 device.

I'm waiting for the iPhone 5. If it looks something like this mockup (check the video), i'm sold.

buy galaxy s2, it has a big screen

No.
Here's the video of the iPhone 5 mockup prototype. It looks sooo good IMO.

Samsung Solstice... yuck. I mean, you could use it, but as far as non-smartphones go, it was far inferior to even standard non-touchscreen phones. You're either a smartphone with a touchscreen or you aren't.
The best non-smartphone I ever owned was the Samsung Messager II when I had Cricket service. That phone was actually REALLY good. It was the only cell phone I ever liked before getting my Galaxy S2 earlier this year.
