The Nokia Lumia devices were beautiful devices with a great UI, they were just plagued with not having a large app inventory compared to iPhone or Android. That's what truly killed it.
@chrisjohnson3253 I think overtime once they updated the phones to Windows Phone 8.1 they gave you the option to be able to have a custom wallpaper sit behind the tiles, but that still didn't help with the lack of apps unfortunately. I had two Lumia phones, one was the 920 I think, and the other one was that giant ass Lumia 1520. Again very solid phones and software, but to your point they were definitely more limited in what you could do with them compared to Android or even iOS at the time.
Sorry I have 2 windows phones lumia 640 windows phone 8.1 u2 and lumia 650 windows 10 mobile. I do not regret them and still like them. they works and still feel fast and have all the apps I downloaded from the store when you could. The only bad thing was the support of apps which still sad. Only phone I miss and wish was still made and loved livetiles
I loved my windows phones. I had the lumia 1020, 1520, and 950 xl. Never regretted buying them. Out of all of the nokia lumia phones I had the 1020 with the 41 megapixel camera was my favorite one. I also loved my note 7. The battery issue was a very small fraction of the total number of units sold. I had the LG thrill the us version of the Optimus 3d. My biggest issue was battery life. Didn't notice the issue with the viewing angle of the 3d photos that I took. After the novelty of the 3d effect wore off i switched to the iphone 5 but with all of the issues I had with it and the experience with the apple store I switched to android/windows phones. Haven't owned an iPhone since and never will. To this day the iphone 5 is the only phone I have ever regretted spending money on.
I realized I'm old AF. I remember when touch screen phones weren't even a thing when I was in school. The biggest things out was the Motorola razor, sidekick, and BlackBerry. I bought a Windows phone in 9th grade before I was jumped after school and they stole it from me. By far the worse phone I bought was after that because I was poor was a virgin mobile oyster from 7/11 that costs $7.11. It was a flip phone if you closed it to hard or fast it would cut off and restart the phone lol.
IMO, the worst was that portable ironing machine called Asus Zenfone 4. With Intel chipset and 1400 mAh battery, you gotta charge it at least twice a day, and heat up like it's the main job, instead of being a phone. At least I can swap the battery with another battery that got full juice in seconds, which is impossible nowadays.
The samsung moment was the second android i had, u weren't kidding in its bugginess, my mom had one and it just died and went to the great android heaven in the sky and it wasn't very long before mine did the same thing waking home one day and sliding my keyboard out killing the phone not to mention that the one or 2 major software updates it got did an automatic factory reset to install it
I had the Nexus 5x and absolutely loved that phone. I was at a party one night about to use my camera and it froze, rebooted, and the endless bootloop started. I was devastated. 😢
Loved my Essential PH1 🤷♂️ Thing still works too. My little nieces and nephews still use it as a lil media device. Processor still feels crisp 🤷♂️🤷♂️
Nokia N96. The N95 was one of the first great smartphones, everything about it was just superb. Nokia went for touchscreen on the N96 and it wasn't even close to being ready, plus their Symbian OS had already been blown out of the water by iOS. The resistive touchscreen was awful, especially at a time when the capacitive touchscreen was already available. It wasn't just buggy, it froze, rebooted and bricked on a regular basis with a fiddly workaround which every N96 owner knew by heart because we all needed to do it 3-4 times a day. It was a good idea, but it was so poorly executed that the phone was as close to unusable as a phone has ever been.
I enjoyed the Nokia lumia and I had my first break up over that phone😅 then we got back together using the same phone 📱 so many memories sitting in a dorm room lol
I wonder why you didn't included the Nokia N97. Buggy and slow software that hang almost all the time, sticked to resistive touchscreen while the competitors (iPhone 3 and Samsung Galaxy S) adopted the capacitive touchscreen, Apps had to be installed on a tiny 250MB memory partition (out of 32GB). It had good camera and sliding QWERTY keyboard but it was marketed as "iPhone killer" and failed to do so because of Nokia's refusal to see the mobile market changing, contributing to Nokia's eventual downfall. I still miss this phone tho. I had great memories with it.
Back in 2008, I had one of Verizon's first touch screen phones, the LG Dare. It was really cool at first, but it had so many different issues in the long run. I cant recall any of those issues off the top of my head, but I went through 4 LG Dare phones in under 1 year. Verizon ended up giving me the LG Envy 2 because of how frequent I was having my Dare replaced.
For me, it was the first android. That T-Mobile G1. I loved and hated it. Then I had the MyTouch, I think it was. It was such a relief to go to the BlackBerry after struggling with that phone.
HTC Sensation was a battery drying device. I had to charge it 1-2 times per day while I never used it hard. I used it less than 2 years and was absolutely happy when I got a new Samsung Note 3 instead.
I got the Amazon Fire phone for £10 brand new during a fire sale. No pun intended. It was actually a great conversation starter with the 3D effect, people loved it. Ran it for 2 years, wasn’t worth the launch price but great for £10.
I mean that wasn't just a single "flaw" on the Note 7 once the phone explodes you just have no phone and have burned or destroyed either your hands or whatever furniture it was on
My worst phone was my Xperia X1. It looked pretty on the outside. It was running on Windows Mobile 6, and its performance was inconsistent. At times it will be snappy. Other times, it will run sluggishly. It took 5-10seconds for the camera to fire up and be ready to take photos. I usually hold on to a phone for at least 2 years before upgrading. But this one made me upgrade before the year ended.
I went from the Blackberry Bold to the HTC Thunderbolt. LOVED THE THUNDERBOLT!! That phone introduced me to Android which also introduced me to Nova Launcher. I currently have a Pixel 8 and am still rocking Nova Launcher to this day. I'll keep using Nova up until its non-responsive.
The problem with most bad phones is they try to implement unproven, or u-useful technology. For all their flaws, the reason iPhone has been so successful is they don't try to over-do it with unproven tech. They wait to see what tech is long-lasting and practical.
I had an HTC Mozart 7, and yes, Microsoft switching from Windows CE to Windows NT was a real blow to those who had Windows Phone 7. I believe that users of version 7 didn't even bother looking for Windows Phone anymore, and they were right to do so.
glad to see that my favourite phone of all time didn't make the list, despite being considered a "failure". i had an HTC "Tytn 2" in the late 00s early 10s. it was windows mobile but GOOD kind of windows mobile. it essentially run what looked like mobile version of windows 7, complete with Start button and folder tree. did i mention it had one of the most amazing slide out qwerty keyboards to ever exist on a mobile device? it did.
The Essential was killed by Andy Rubin's sexual harassment allegations resurfacing and creating a PR nightmare which ultimately killed the phone before it ever took off. I was so hyped for this phone, too. Its design was so far ahead of its time you could release it today and it would still fit in and look like a modern design.
Any LG with the Snapdragon 808 was subject to the Nexus 5x boot loop issue with a hot chip and poor thermal management resulting in cracked solder joints. The LG G4 and V10 were no exceptions. It was bad enough that there were diy hacks involving cooking or freezing your device to allow a full boot to recover data. I am surprised that this alone did not delete LG from the phone market.
I remember putting my v10 in the freezer a few times. It only got me back on for a few minutes at most unfortunately. I went through two or three warranty replacements and then switched to the samsung galaxy s8+. Really unfortunate cause it was a really good phone imo, until you couldn't use it.
I always thought that my old LG phone died without reason & because I used it for too long but good to know that I wasn't the only one whose LG phone wouldn't stop going into a boot loop
I know I'm in the minority, but I absolutely loved my HTC thunderbolt. Mine was an indestructible tank, and as an idiot college student when I owned it, I tried hard to break it over 2 years. My buddy broke 3 iPhone 4s while my thunderbolt just kept chugging. One of my favorite phones I've owned.
There were two versions of the HTC facebook phone the Cha-Cha and Status. The LG Nexus 5X wasn't the first phone with the boot-loop issue it was the LG G4.
Worst phone I ever had was a 8gb iPhone 5C. I got it when I was a really materialistic person and had to have a new phone even though my phone was perfectly fine. For some reason I thought a plastic phone with basically no storage was exactly what I needed. I ended up biting the bullet and paying off the contract early at a massive price to upgrade to a 6S Plus.
I had a Nokia Lumia. It was a lovely piece of kit but sadly it had compatibility issues with some websites and I had massive issues accessing my Yahoo account. Microsoft really blew it big time with this phone and Nokia had a lot riding on it as well.
I don’t understand so much hate on the blackberry storm. I had it and I loved it and when I was done using it, I sold it for the same price that I bought it for it was a great phone. It was a great experience!
The worst phone I’ve ever had was the Motorola Charm. It was like a Blackberry wanna be that ran a MotoBlur skin. The screen was permanently stuck in landscape mode, making a fair amount of apps useless
I had a HTC Vivid I think is what it was called and every time I would listen to music downloaded on it I would lose sound on ALL of the apps! This was before Spotify I think and it was a nightmare for me.
I think the worst phone I ever bought was a Samsung Galaxy S6 it had terrible battery but I had to charge up every 3 hours and it had no memory and had like 32 gigabytes of memory with no SD card so 16 gigs of memory it sucked
Lg G2, the phone was excellent with a great camera but it’s screen was absolutely delicate had the ghost screen issue resulting me in replacing the screen twice in the end had to dump that set as I upgraded to Galaxy Note 4
Verzo Kinzo the worst smartphone i ever owned, back in 2011 Verzo Kinzo was an ambitious but ultimately forgotten smartphone flop that promised a community-driven, European-designed alternative to Apple and Samsung, yet delivered an overpriced device with outdated hardware and overall poor user experience.
I never had an LG Optimus 3D or a RED Hydrogen One which had really bad 3D cameras, but I still take 3D images and it's kinda bothers me that 3D photography didn't got popular, yet there is a 3D camera in iPhones, not to take 3D images but to unlock the phone with your face.
HTC One (M9) was the only phone that I ended up hating. It literally started falling apart, without ever having dropped it. And nothing about it was particularly good. Even the boombox speakers were mid. I’m glad HTC was finally shut out of the smartphone market.
I had an LG Thrill around 2013. It had a 3D button on the side that I pushed incidentally all the time. Also, it had an awful battery life. I could barely get through 4 hours with moderate use, and it would shut down at like 15% battery.
The worst phone i ever had was the HTC Tattoo. OMG how bad was that thing, i was given it for free. I had it 3 days and gave it them back. It was horrendous
This proves that hardware and software companies just dumpes their business on the market before trying out their devices and its software and makes sure it works good. . “We’ll update it later” is the credo nowadays. In the 70’, 80’s and 90’’s electronic devices were tested extensively before put on the market. I see it as a totally disrespectful behaviour of the companies to the customers and with only one goal, to make as much money as possible instead of creating a great device which people can use for many years.
Sidekick. I had one in 2009 and it looked cool. That’s about all it had going for it imo. Everything about it felt slow, clunky, and counterintuitive. I’d much prefer the Motorola Razor I had prior to the Sidekick 😅
I had a Samsung Omnia 7, the operating system was a pile of poo, I think it only had it for a couple of months before trading it in for a Samsung Galaxy.
Out of all the phones I've owned and I've owned a lot I only had 2 major phones that failed - a windows phone called a Dpod which I called a DoDo Pod which crashed constantly because it could not handle multitasking and multiple windows open. I returned it as soon as I purchased it lost the large amount of money I paid for it as phones were not refundable . The second phone was the very early versions of the Samsung touch screen phones which failed severely. I never want to see those phones again! Never had the Blackberry Storm thank goodness , my version of blackberry was so tough I think I used it for 5 years no problems & it could have continued to be used for a few more years but it did not have a camera. One of my favourite niche phones was a Sony Xperia until I somehow crashed it and I loved most Motarola phones after the flip.
HTC First apparently wasn't THAT intrusive the problem was just the aesthetics and marketing of Facebook on it, apparently the Home launcher could be disabled and critics and users loved that it had stock android instead of HTC's bloated Sense UI. On the other hand HTC's flagships that used Sense basically forced you to use BlinkFeed (a Flipboard-like UI) and only later let you disable it. People found Samsung's TouchWiz less intrusive.
Remember how they made a GTA mod, replacing grenades with Note7? 😂 It did manage to recover, though, and continued until 2020. Then, in 2022 it merged with the S series, and now we have the best of both lines.
I had the Blackberry Storm and put a piece of cardboard between the battery and battery cover so that pressing in on the screen was faster. I appreciated the novel concept but it didn't execute well.
I forgot about the cardboard mod! I had one too. My stubborn self refused to get an iPhone or the early Androids and went for the Storm2. It was so much better than the 1
I blame Steve Balmer being so delusional for the failure of Windows OS phone. It might have been a different story if Bill Gates was there instead of Balmer! _🤷🤷🤷_

I had a note 7 and it was a beautiful piece of kit. Shame it was explosive.
same too but i replace the battery for the note fe battery and i use it until 2020 until it become my 2nd phone
You mean you had beautiful piece of explosive, but shame it was also a piece of kit 😂
Note 7 was the BOMB!

The Nokia Lumia devices were beautiful devices with a great UI, they were just plagued with not having a large app inventory compared to iPhone or Android. That's what truly killed it.
Or the fact you couldn't have a normal wallpaper they were awful I got the Lumia 8 hated it
I had one and I totally agree.
You are right hardware wise they were great
@chrisjohnson3253 I think overtime once they updated the phones to Windows Phone 8.1 they gave you the option to be able to have a custom wallpaper sit behind the tiles, but that still didn't help with the lack of apps unfortunately.

Again very solid phones and software, but to your point they were definitely more limited in what you could do with them compared to Android or even iOS at the time.
Nokia 1520 with the Windows operating system on it by far the best phone I ever had
I had two or three Lumia Windows Phones and wish they were still usable.
I remember when you were forbidden to buy a phone. You had to lease it from the phone company and it hung on the wall. Or sit on a shelf.
Man it’s sad how HTC fell so far
My friend did bought a Red Hydrogen One, and he regrets it right after he started using it. 🤣
Sorry I have 2 windows phones lumia 640 windows phone 8.1 u2 and lumia 650 windows 10 mobile. I do not regret them and still like them. they works and still feel fast and have all the apps I downloaded from the store when you could. The only bad thing was the support of apps which still sad.

They were beautiful phones my Nokia Lumia 930 was a beast 😍
had my thunderbolt for years and the battery life was truly atrocious.
I loved my windows phones. I had the lumia 1020, 1520, and 950 xl. Never regretted buying them. Out of all of the nokia lumia phones I had the 1020 with the 41 megapixel camera was my favorite one.

I loved mine too
Oh yeah, they had that amazing Zeiss lense!

7:54 im glad that you have include Dankpods
The original N Gage was brilliant my friend
Couldn't agree more!❤
BEST PHONE EVER...
I had it was sooo fun
It was amazing ❤
For people who bought them and had to adjust using them
But to be fair, only the samsung note 7 had the most explosive memes ever created for a phone 🤣
I remember. Even gta was moded and replaced the sticky bomb with note 7
Remember when we thought $600 was too expensive for a phone? And now they're 3 times that and we gladly pay it 😂
2:44 the nostalgic 10 years old bomb 💣
13:56 , I guess the Red Hydrogen was the inspiration for Apple to price the iPhone X about 1000$ in the release year.
IMO, the worst was that portable ironing machine called Asus Zenfone 4.
With Intel chipset and 1400 mAh battery, you gotta charge it at least twice a day, and heat up like it's the main job, instead of being a phone.
At least I can swap the battery with another battery that got full juice in seconds, which is impossible nowadays.
The Zenfones 9 and 10 were excellent devices though.
But that phone performance is way better than other phone in its price bracket and the design is Dope, at least i have the 5 inch version lol
True with the "I can swap the battery with another battery that got full juice in seconds, which is impossible nowadays"
BlackBerry storms deserve a place on the list 😃
The samsung moment was the second android i had, u weren't kidding in its bugginess, my mom had one and it just died and went to the great android heaven in the sky and it wasn't very long before mine did the same thing waking home one day and sliding my keyboard out killing the phone not to mention that the one or 2 major software updates it got did an automatic factory reset to install it
11:21 never had that problem. Could see the 3d just fine. Loved this phone and you said no one wanted the feature. I did
Still got my HTC Thunderbolt
Makes sense. My LG Nexus 5 life ended in and endless boot loop.
I had the Nexus 5x and absolutely loved that phone. I was at a party one night about to use my camera and it froze, rebooted, and the endless bootloop started. I was devastated. 😢
Nokia N97 - The worst! The RAM would not let you install Apps, also sugglish to use. I know I had one. One of the reasons why this phone killed Nokia.
Loved my Essential PH1 🤷♂️ Thing still works too. My little nieces and nephews still use it as a lil media device. Processor still feels crisp 🤷♂️🤷♂️

Verizon ended up giving me the LG Envy 2 because of how frequent I was having my Dare replaced.
I had the htc thunderbolt. Had to keep TWO batteries on me at all times and STILL had to take my charger with me to work.
The nokia Ngage is a collectors item nowadays..and not at all remembered in a negative way.
Samsung Gem in 2011. This phone was so bad that when I'd specifically apply the ADW Honeycomb Theme for ADW Launcher my phone would Reboot.
Nokia X100. Just hearing the notifications ringtone from that phone makes me shudder.....
For me, it was the first android. That T-Mobile G1. I loved and hated it. Then I had the MyTouch, I think it was. It was such a relief to go to the BlackBerry after struggling with that phone.

I had a bad experience with the EVO 3D. overheating, crashing, and burning through the batery
I remember Microsoft even putted the Kin in Pretty Little Liars given it was huge with teens back then, it was the phone Aria used for a few episodes
Lg g4. That boot loop caught me off guard.
If the Amazon fire phone didn’t jump you to the Amazon app after Identifying something then maybe it wouldn’t have felt as bad as it did.
My worst phone was my Xperia X1.
It looked pretty on the outside. It was running on Windows Mobile 6, and its performance was inconsistent. At times it will be snappy. Other times, it will run sluggishly. It took 5-10seconds for the camera to fire up and be ready to take photos.

I miss feature phones. I hate these soulless slabs we got now.

I still have the essential in a drawer. I enjoyed it when I used it.
LG G4 also had the boot loot issue
There were two versions of the HTC facebook phone the Cha-Cha and Status. The LG Nexus 5X wasn't the first phone with the boot-loop issue it was the LG G4.
The essential phone was ahead of its time. I've owned three of them. (Kept buying them because people kept buying them from me.)
for me, it was the redmi 9A, it is unusably slow, but there are definitely worse ones
I also had a Redmi 9A; the phone was so laggy even on basic tasks, but at least the newer budget Xiaomi and Poco have more decent specs.
The main issue is 2gb of ram, it should have run on android go.
Nobody cares about the phones that are mainly used in India
@jayz4evrBro it is in Europe too
@jayz4evr western who live under rock thinking they are the world:

I was about to riot if surface Duo was on this list
lumia 900 was my first smartphone ever 😭 Took it apart a few years ago and have the faceplate sitting around….somewhere
I had a Nokia Lumia. It was a lovely piece of kit but sadly it had compatibility issues with some websites and I had massive issues accessing my Yahoo account. Microsoft really blew it big time with this phone and Nokia had a lot riding on it as well.
Red Hydrogen turned into a hydrogen bomb.
I genuinely liked my Blackberry storm , the camera was far better than early iPhones
I don’t understand so much hate on the blackberry storm. I had it and I loved it and when I was done using it, I sold it for the same price that I bought it for it was a great phone. It was a great experience!
Siemens amalgamation with Benq and manufactured BENQ Siemens back in 2007.I rushed to buy it and regretted later.Powe battery was it's biggest flaw.
The worst phone I’ve ever had was the Motorola Charm. It was like a Blackberry wanna be that ran a MotoBlur skin. The screen was permanently stuck in landscape mode, making a fair amount of apps useless
I had a HTC Vivid I think is what it was called and every time I would listen to music downloaded on it I would lose sound on ALL of the apps! This was before Spotify I think and it was a nightmare for me.
Also the Moment is capacitive touch (thank god)
Back in the days I was a big HTC fan, bought a Desire Z with qwerty keyboard. That was the worst phone I ever had.
If it wasn't for the note 7 battery, it was easily the phone of the year during that time.
2 major phones you missed in the list are the iphone 5c...and the surface duo
I think the worst phone I ever bought was a Samsung Galaxy S6 it had terrible battery but I had to charge up every 3 hours and it had no memory and had like 32 gigabytes of memory with no SD card so 16 gigs of memory it sucked
Lg G2, the phone was excellent with a great camera but it’s screen was absolutely delicate had the ghost screen issue resulting me in replacing the screen twice in the end had to dump that set as I upgraded to Galaxy Note 4
The worst phone I had was the Samsung Galaxy S 7.
Motorola Edge and Edge+ 2020 with infamous "green tint" display.
I exchanged 4 times and abandoned it due to same green tint problem
I remember being on a Southwest the flight attendant said if you have a note 7 Throw it in the trash right now😂😂😂😂
Verzo Kinzo the worst smartphone i ever owned, back in 2011 Verzo Kinzo was an ambitious but ultimately forgotten smartphone flop that promised a community-driven, European-designed alternative to Apple and Samsung, yet delivered an overpriced device with outdated hardware and overall poor user experience.
I had my N-gage (second version) and it was a very good phone. Definitely not regretting anything about it.
This video is brought to you by your local I Phone dealer.
I never had an LG Optimus 3D or a RED Hydrogen One which had really bad 3D cameras, but I still take 3D images and it's kinda bothers me that 3D photography didn't got popular, yet there is a 3D camera in iPhones, not to take 3D images but to unlock the phone with your face.
My worst phone ever was a Konka. I found out later it's a poor quality brand. The battery got swollen and I had to just throw it away.
HTC One (M9) was the only phone that I ended up hating. It literally started falling apart, without ever having dropped it. And nothing about it was particularly good. Even the boombox speakers were mid. I’m glad HTC was finally shut out of the smartphone market.
Image a TikTok phone, where you have to watch a TikTok everytime you unlock the phone.
LG Optimus 3D was a great piece of tech. Loved it.
I had an LG Thrill around 2013. It had a 3D button on the side that I pushed incidentally all the time. Also, it had an awful battery life. I could barely get through 4 hours with moderate use, and it would shut down at like 15% battery.
I had a Nokia with the tiles and I hated it.
The worst phone i ever had was the HTC Tattoo. OMG how bad was that thing, i was given it for free. I had it 3 days and gave it them back. It was horrendous
I had a blackberry storm. Hated that phone
This proves that hardware and software companies just dumpes their business on the market before trying out their devices and its software and makes sure it works good. . “We’ll update it later” is the credo nowadays. In the 70’, 80’s and 90’’s electronic devices were tested extensively before put on the market. I see it as a totally disrespectful behaviour of the companies to the customers and with only one goal, to make as much money as possible instead of creating a great device which people can use for many years.
Sidekick. I had one in 2009 and it looked cool. That’s about all it had going for it imo. Everything about it felt slow, clunky, and counterintuitive. I’d much prefer the Motorola Razor I had prior to the Sidekick 😅
I had a Samsung Omnia 7, the operating system was a pile of poo, I think it only had it for a couple of months before trading it in for a Samsung Galaxy.
Out of all the phones I've owned and I've owned a lot I only had 2 major phones that failed - a windows phone called a Dpod which I called a DoDo Pod which crashed constantly because it could not handle multitasking and multiple windows open. I returned it as soon as I purchased it lost the large amount of money I paid for it as phones were not refundable . The second phone was the very early versions of the Samsung touch screen phones which failed severely. I never want to see those phones again!
Never had the Blackberry Storm thank goodness , my version of blackberry was so tough I think I used it for 5 years no problems & it could have continued to be used for a few more years but it did not have a camera. One of my favourite niche phones was a Sony Xperia until I somehow crashed it and I loved most Motarola phones after the flip.
Can't believe I brought a note 7 in a 13 hr flight like I'm a suicide bomber..
I'm pretty lucky I've not regretted buying any phone I've owned. But i did own a nokia widows phone, it was kinda disappointing.
HTC First apparently wasn't THAT intrusive the problem was just the aesthetics and marketing of Facebook on it, apparently the Home launcher could be disabled and critics and users loved that it had stock android instead of HTC's bloated Sense UI. On the other hand HTC's flagships that used Sense basically forced you to use BlinkFeed (a Flipboard-like UI) and only later let you disable it. People found Samsung's TouchWiz less intrusive.
N-gage was actually a huge success.
Remember how they made a GTA mod, replacing grenades with Note7? 😂 It did manage to recover, though, and continued until 2020. Then, in 2022 it merged with the S series, and now we have the best of both lines.
I had the Blackberry Storm and put a piece of cardboard between the battery and battery cover so that pressing in on the screen was faster. I appreciated the novel concept but it didn't execute well.
I forgot about the cardboard mod! I had one too. My stubborn self refused to get an iPhone or the early Androids and went for the Storm2. It was so much better than the 1
@eddie9591Blackberry Storm was my bridge between dumb phones and smart phones. Once the Motorola Droid released I got sucked into Android for good.
@eddie9591still have my storm 2 in the box my first real smartish smart phone lol
Worst phone I had was a samsung h1. That sacked very much!
I blame Steve Balmer being so delusional for the failure of Windows OS phone. It might have been a different story if Bill Gates was there instead of Balmer! _🤷🤷🤷_
