Five Worst Phones

aemsafd

Here's a thread I want to start.

What are the worst phones that you've had to deal with? What models would you never recommend to a customer? What causes you the most frustration? In my opinion, these five are at the top (or bottom) of the list:

Motorola T720
Motorola V120
Audiovox 8600
Motorola C333
LG 3100

Obviously you can see my hatred for most Motorola products. What would you put on the list?

What is everyone's beef with the v265?

I got one for my mom and she seems to do ok with it. Now, she's never used text messaging, mobile web or the camera but as far as an actual phone goes, it seems ok.

You put the D415 up there? I love that phone. Other than customers being dumbasses, I have very few issues with it.

1. moto v300 "the speaker stopped working and now I can only hear with my handsfree". i have seen customers with literally 10+ warranty exchanges.
2. siemens cf62...battery does not fit, turns off randomly
3. moto c250/c330...defective batteries, easy enough fix right? wrong, why? their internal. Massive recall ensues.
4. original color sideckick...freezing, crashing, scrollwheels that are apparently held in place with chewing gum.
5. moto v180...one of the known issues-outer displays that crack with little or no pressure, i won't even begin with the technical issues.

Add another Motorola to your list...the TDMA V60.
What is interesting is the phone was standard equipment in the Mercedes; but the ones which came with the Merc were made in Germany and Sweden...the ones we got in the store were made in Brazil/China/Mexico.

Guess which ones worked well?
