worst phone ever.

yesterday we were comparing phones (all time) to find which sucks worse. We came tothe conclusion that every tech in store would rather take a bullet in the knee than own any of these. So no I direct this at you guys. Which phones suck more?

RAZR, v265, vx6100, cdm8600 cdm8900, cdm 8910, kyo se47, nokia 3285, v710, treo 600


which is the worst phone ever? trolls welcome, feel free to add other phones to the list.

my personal vote is the v265

Hmm, we all (wife, son and I) all had the Audiovox CDM8900 and had NO problems with them. In fact, my wife still has her's, she is very happy with it, good battery life and she has a full-vehicle installed car kit. My son and I only changed because we love bluetooth and have BT in the cars and the BT headsets.

As for the Motorola V710, had one, only real complaint was battery life.

Regarding the Razr V3c, battery life is not good and personally, I wish it had a different form factor (not flat even) when opened.

My son now has the Treo 700w. Its okay, but I don't like the idea that when its in data mode (email) no phone calls come through.

As for the VZW UI, personally no problem with it. Then again, at 48, I just want my phone t...

I haven't had the opportunity to use all those phones, but imo the pos lg 6100 is the worse. I was an lg fan prior 🙂 The lg 4400 now that was a good phone 🙂

I'm surprised to see the razr and the v710 on that list however my vote for the worst phone ever is the v265. We returned so many of those pos. That I refused to sell them anymore

reason for razr: software issues (the clock), hardware issues (the charger)

v710: charging port problem.

If your basing it on the charging port then you could include all motorolas prior to the razr. That is not a fair comparison. Software issues with the razr I have seen none. Are we talking just Vzw phs or all carriers???? What issues with the razr charging port????

The razr is having some serious issues.
Clock freezes at a certain time.
Bluetooth issues, says "bluetooth link is busy" have to shut off phone and turn it back on, delete the current bluetooth headset in phone and re-sync, So much lag when browsing thru UI, The charger is not the only thing wrong with it.

I was super excited when moto came out with the USB charging port. But it seems they just changed the style no ...

Actually, I thought this was a kinda different thread with some interesting opinions. Of course we could always go back to the Vzw vs all other carriers thread that never get boring.(sarcasm). Please either state your opinion or move on. 🙄

Worst phone ever? the kx414. More of them returned than any phone. Worst camera phone, moto 265/276 (even worse than the audiovox 8910 IMHO).

Best phones:

v325 (teh best PHONE period)
lg 4400
lg 6000
lg vx10 (yes, my first phone, and it worked great)

We have service more 265's then we sold, because some have had multiple swaps and repairs. I would say it was one of the worse, right up their with the mo720/730. Any indirect agents out there may remeber the sony ericcson t61c. That one also blew donkey junk.

Do you NOT remember the Motorola T720... and I know that some may disagree, but you can put the Kyocera 7135 right up there too...

Kyocera Slider (SE47) all time worst piece of crap in my experiance. Some other contenders:

The LG VX4650 was as fragile as egg shells. I’ve seen many phones dropped on a variety of surfaces including concrete, but the only phone I ever saw break from a drop was an LG VX4650 dropped about four feet on to a vinyl floor. The stupid “split hinge” design to accommodate the oversized front speaker just shattered. The only dog in a long line of dependable phones from LG.

At the beginning of February I picked up a pair of Samsung SCH a950s, but only kept them a week. Although I loved the styling and features, the 950 had by far the worst reception of any phone I’ve ever dealt with.

Saw mention earlier on this thread of the Moto V710. I kn...

Worse phones...Anything from erricson...

LGVX3100 Terrible reception.
Audiovox 8600, 8900, 8910
Kyocera SE-47, 2235
Motorola V265/276
Any Nextel 3 digit (Falcon) series except for more recent like the 560/850/860/etc

everybody says the 8600 from Audiovox......man, I had that phone for 2 years and never had a problem. Only time anything happened was the result of me constantly throwing it to demonstrate a point. I think I put a hole in drywall with it once and it still worked great.

I'm also that 5th person that doesn't want to quit smoking and if I had a D.D.S. degree, I still wouldn't recommend Trident. I guess I'm just that person.

1) Why the V710? With the exception of the crippled Bluetooth, mine was great....

2) The absolute worst phone of all time is a Sprint phone.... the LG 1010.... don't believe me? Ask any Sprint salesperson who's been around for 4 years or more...

3) The absolute worst VZW phone I have seen would have to be the LG VX10. (I'd add the VX1, but I never did see one of those.) That thing had a terrible UI and poor reception. The only redeeming factor was Get It Now, which on a black-and-white screened phone, sucked.
