Ohhh I don't like this. This makes me sad :(

I can't even remember what it was called. It was a flip phone, think it was Samsung. Got it around 2007 or 2008?

Anyway. It was terrible. Can barely remember it, don't think I had it long. God I can't even remember the next phone I had but that one was probably terrible as well.

I must have used these devices for like 5 years, why can't I remember them!??

My HTC Touch Diamond was a good phone which was turned into a lousy piece of junk by Windows Mobile 6.1. Even HTC's TouchFLO 3D interface wasn't enough to save it. (Yes, I know it's not an Android phone.)

It wasn't an android phone, but it came from one of the biggest players on the android market; the Samsung Solstice. an early generation smart phone. I don't even remember what OS it was using. As far as android phones go, my sister is using the HTC First and it's truly the worst android phone I've ever handled.

None of my Android phones I would consider worst. I have had many Android phones beginning with the iconic T-Mobile G1 (HTC Dream).

My worst phone ever was the HTC Wizard (T-Mobile MDA). Windows fail.

I've been lucky. I've never owned a truly 'bad' android phone, they've pretty much been in step with other smartphones of their time. Some friends haven't been so lucky though; the HTC Wildfire, the HTC Cha-Cha, and the Samsung Galaxy Ace (basically any non-S Galaxy) were pretty bad, but the worst was a friend who purchased a Galaxy SII clone from eBay which had a resistive screen and ran on Cupcake (Android 1.5).

Yeah, like iPhone? (JK, iphone beats no Android phone)
I've used my S3 for two years now with TouchWiz (mostly a custom launcher, but still) and recently switched to CyanogenMod 11. I can tell you, I can't live without my Samsung's smart features, S Voice, S Memo etc. :O

My worst phone experience came from the Motorola Rizr Z8. I would unplug it from the charger around 7:30 AM, and by the time I got to work (8:15), the battery would be down to 85%. And that was without any use at all. No music, games, calls, or browsing, it was just sitting in my pocket. By the time I was ready to use the phone, around lunch time (12:45), the battery was on the verge of hitting the 50% mark.

I don't buy "bad" phones , you see , when I decide that it's time to get a new phone , I start searching for it on Google , watching videos of the device performing on youtube and reading reviews and stuff like that, but if I ever had a bad phone, it would be an htc cha cha , or an iPhone ( all iphones )

Bad memory to the point of ridiculousness. I'm genuinely surprised. Maybe I'm weird though :D

Anyway, I can't really say for any phone that it's bad, 'cause they were all good phones for their time.

I found the worst phone these days are Samsung smartphones. There are lot other phones which are much better then this with more features.

I had a misfortune of getting one for bday and I'm inclined to agree. Battery is weak and apps seem to be lagging more often than not.

LG revolution. Hands down the worst phone I've ever owned. That first gen 4G zapped my battery in under 2 hours every time. I ended up buying a 2 year old RAZR just to get through the day.

Motorola Quench - no native multi touch support though custom ROMs later added this much needed "feature". Just think for a moment what this meant: no pinch gestures or anything of that sort!

I made a very big mistake in switching from an iPhone to an Android!
1) Somebody texts me and when I reply my message goes before theirs.
2) It is not smart enough to capitalize the first letter of a sentence.
3) When I get major updates applications I have set to open when the phone turns on I have to reconfigure again when so they start when powering on.
4) Arranging icons is either hit or miss. When it doesn't work you waste a lot of time!
5) Free apps keep popping up with ads.
6) It is DOG SLOW!!!
6a) I hit a button and wait, then I see something else that I decided would be better 5-10 seconds later and up comes my first choice.
6b) I start typing and see the option for the work I am typing and I try to select it only to have the phone enter the last letter I typed and the option I am about to press changes. Now I have to edit my changes.

I do have to give Samsung a lot of credit for one thing, I hate the phone so much that I must have punched it a thousand times and thrown it a few times too and other than the SIM coming lose it still works beautifully! Well.... it works anyway, the stupid piece of S#@$! I truly wish I could express how much how much I hate this phone! Galaxy is such a big vision for a phone with no vision at all.

Don't want to degrade any brands but I have really bad experiences with Samsung (Especially the first series of its smartphone). Now i'm good with my HTC one

Samsung 5830i. I must be crazy at that time to buy this phone. It's pre-installed many useless apps which cannot be uninstalled unless I root the phone. And the storage is extremely small. And also it's really slow.

My first phone was Nokia X2
My second phone was Samsung Galaxy young Gt-6312
And currently using Samsung Galaxy S4 Gt-i9505
None of them was worst for me
Galaxy Young was my first android phone, and thanks to that phone because of it's less storage, low processor and low specifications it works slow and lags
this made me to research about android, its working and rooting to get most of my phone and even made me to learn about modding android etc. By this I moded my phone to work even better ( Necessity is mother of invention )this made me more curious about Android and than I join AndroidPit community
Now I know more about android in my family and even in my friend circle

no phone is worst if u know how to use it

It was my first Android Phone MicroMax A57. My experience with this smartphone was horrible. I just waste my money on it.

beyond a shadow of a doubt the LG eve, it was my first android device I was horribly under researched on what to get, it was free from my carrier and for some reason I thought I couldn't live without a hardware keyboard. all it did was crash, lockup, lag, it was a terrible terrible experience.
