Blackberry Pearl- Why it's the worst phone ever made

Here's why I think the Blackberry Pearl is the worst phone ever made.
1. I can't get photo's off of it. My G1 takes a few seconds. I've worked with this Pear for hours upon hours cannot get my photo's off of it. The Desktop manager really bites too no help there. I really dislike this phone. The software just as bad. I guess they were on the move when Desktop manager was getting written.
2. The phone on occasions would lock on letters instead of numbers. There wasn't an intuitive way to get it unlocked. I found it more intuitive to get a my return from the IRS than it was to get the phone back to dialing numbers.
I'm having my kids dress up as a Blackberry Pearl for Halloween. I'm going to make a Halloween Movie Freddy Kruger attacks people with Blackberry Pearl the topper scene features unsuspecting Pearl user getting tied up and has them attempt to copy their photos off to a PC and the video gets put on Youtube for Christmas.
Very unsatisfied with your product.
Don Quixote

I want to join the fun here and list all the different reasons why I'm very unsatisfied with this phone.
The actual phone part of this phone is pretty slow. It accepts a phone number almost 3 times slower than I can type it in. Even typing a name on their handy search bar takes forever to get a result. If I type to fast, it just ignores a couple of my numbers so I have to delete and retype, at the same super slow pace. I'm guessing that it searches all sorts of contact and history lists to give me cool suggestions, and that's what makes it so slow. Either way, it irritates me to no end that the basic reason I have this thing is slow as dirt.
All 3rd Party and Blackberry apps require the Blackberry data service. Even though there's WIFI on this phone, you simply can't connect to anything except the Browser (and even the Browser requires some setting changes to bypass the upsell screen). This phone CAN do 3rd party services and other applications without the Blackberry data service, but they just don't allow you to.
Sometimes my phone just turns off. I don't normally mind the 3 minute boot up process, but when I'm in the middle of something and my phone turns off for no reason, it just compounds my frustration.
The keyboard freezes up all the time. After a good 1-5 minute "please wait clock", I finally get a message saying there was an error and my input application had to be reset. Sometimes it doesn't quite reset all the way and I have to pull the battery and again wait for the long boot up process.
Its a little unreliable. Besides the phone turning off at random and the keyboard freezing, I still have problems other problems. My bluetooth turns off and sometimes doesn't come back. Once I had to get a new phone sent to me in order to correct that problem. Pressing buttons doesn't always get a response, especially the green "call" button. If the phone is bogged down, it just ignored commands, which is pretty frustrating especially if you press a button and accidently double enter a command that is both the "on" and "off" options. Also, sometimes the screen fades out (like its suppose to) but doesn't come back when you press keys. Or the external notifications just don't turn on. It somestimes just doesn't read my memory card. The zoom feature on my camera also got stuck.
Other small gripes involve having no caps lock, the SureType never learning from my typing ("Hey" always goes out as "Get"), its overall slowness, the looseness of the back casing, the low quality camera, and so much more.
I don't suggest this phone to anyone.

C3-01 The Worst phone ever nokia released....

C3-01 The Worst phone ever nokia released....bcz of no poor software,does not provide basic functions where other cheap phone do,
touch screen Problem...and so on....

I contributed to this thread earlier:
http:///t5/Cseries/C3-01-Problems-and-Limitations/m-p/1050133/highlight/false#M20370
Since then I've resolved the WAP problem; but as the OP has stated, the problems I've had with mine have been far and away more than all the phones I've had in the past -combined!
It fails on calls (I'm paying of the call, but nothing can be heard)..Today my touchscreen decided to go AWOL. and locked up..so I took out the battery, same again..then the battery AND the SIM card. Same again..It wouldn't unlock, the only buttons that worked were the push button ones...Then it decided it would work a little, and auto scrolled (Yes really!) the side bar..The it defaulted to the help screen without being touched (Battery out again)...then it worked as it should..but now...if I try to press an icon, it moves up the screen as I press it, so I can't actually open (for example) messages or my address book. If I hold the menu icon down for three seconds, it will eventually open up, but the rest won't..but it might all change in an hour or two..So yes, i agree with the original message it is probably the worse phone Nokia has released.

LG Extravert possibly the worst phone ever!

"Upgraded" to this phone and I have to say it was the worst mistake I have ever made as far as phones go. 1. The screenlock button is at the top right side, so whenever you grab the phone normally and try to do anything with it, adjust volume, whatever, the screenlock button is inadvertently touched more often than not and locks the screen up. Horrible placement for that button. 2. The speakerphone is the worst sounding piece of junk ever! I can get better sound out of a garage sale walkie-talkie! 3. If I want to listen to my voicemails, check a bank account balance, etc., and I dial from the closed position, as soon as the call connects, the screen goes dark and I can't put in passwords, account numbers, menu options and the like from the touchscreen. I have to open the phone and do everything from the Qwerty...AND turn off the speaker phone(which is activated when I slide the phone open) to keep my account info and voicemails from being soundblasted all over creation. 4. But, by far, the most irritating thing about this piece of junk is the horrible problem with texting. After having the phone for about two weeks, I noticed I could not delete certain texts. No matter how I tried to do it, texts would not delete! I took it in to Verizon and they rebooted it several times and every time the texts were still there! Since there wasn't anything horribly important contained in those texts, I took the chance at exchanging it anyway, knowing personal info was still on the phone. I took the new one home, and two weeks later, SAME thing started happening, only worse!. Not only could I not delete loads of texts(a few I could), I but texts that I hadn't even read yet were disappearing. I get the alert that a text had come in, I open the screen to read the text from "John Doe", and the text disappeared! I later found it in the folder of "Jan Smith". A response to a text from my son, he never got, but it shows up in the sent folder to an entirely different person. I sent an "I Love You!" to my wife. Doesn't show up there...it shows up as a sent text to a guy friend of mine. This is so ridiculous I don't think I will give this back to Verizon. I would like a credit on my account for the $45 in upgrade fees and taxes, and I want to keep the phone. I will take it home, throw it down in the driveway and enjoy beating the snot out of it with a sledgehammer!

Just the worst phone ever? Lumia 810

I had one Nokia 810. It started freezing and restarting randomly, one or more times a day. Then one day it stopped turning on all together. When I charged it, it would flash the t-mobile logo every 5 or 10 minutes and show a low battery symbol. t-mobile was no help. Of course Nokia support was no help. Got another from T-Mobile AND bought a new battery. Battery has been charged for a couple hours- the new phone won't even start! Am I losing my mind? What could I possibly be doing wrong. Yes, I've tried different chargers. How long is a new battery supposed to take to charge? Nokia says 2 hours for a full charge. Obviously, I'm ready to throw this phone in the trash and start over. No more Nokia in my future.
Solved!
Go to Solution.

For anyone else struggling with this- Lumia 810 won't turn on, won't charge, cycling through T-mobile logo, Nextel logo, and red battery symbol- I don't have a solution but I did manage to resolve...something.
Pressing combinations of buttons did nothing. Troubleshooting on a computer did nothing.
In the end the problem seened to be that the battery completely discharged and, for whatever reason, would not recharge.
I hooked my old 810 and old battery up to the USB port on my PC. It cycled, as usual, but several hours later it was on. It completely reset but it was on.
I put the old batter into the new Lumia I received an it powered right on. It continued to charge and work normally from that point.
I put the new battery into the old Lumia to see if it would charge as well. Several hours later it is still cycling. So...
One battery responded to being plugged charged by a PC. The other battery has not responded yet, but I hope that it will. The mystery is that only one phone (the old phone) cycled and showed the battery symbol. The new phone did nothing at all until I put the partially charged batter in it.
I wonder if a place like battery source could charge the battery that hasn't responded yet and that will resolve this. If it does, I'll let you all know. If none of the other suggestions are working for you (they didn't for me) try leaving the phone overnight plugged into the PC. I also wonder if I need an authenthic Nokia charger...

Bbz10 worst phone ever built.

How do I send an email to black berry to complain about the shocking products.

Why does the top button always brake why as my screen decided to pop off why is the back of my case bending when I have never dropped it why dose this shity phone keep sending text messages as picture messages this is the worst phone av ever had!!

I know a lot of people with iphone 5 and have never heard them complain about top button always brake and screen that decides to pop off or the back of their case is bending.
That sounds like a phone that has been dropped a numerous times.

Droid X: WORST phone EVER

Worst phone EVER. DO NOT BUY.
* Constantly reboots
* Constantly drops data connection
* Totally ignores third-party email for about an hour on its own which is absolutely CRITICAL.
* Will only get email immediately when its powered down, then up.
* 3G coverage blows.
I HATE AT&T and APPLE, but I miss my iPhone already and its only been a week. But it WORKED, ALWAYS.
They should renamer this the ROID X, because it is a PITA ***!
I had a bag phone in the '90's that worked better than this.

N73 worst phone ever!

I have had my N73 for nearly 2 years. When I got it initially it was exchanged due to the phone beeing faulty, or so we thought.
The exchanged unit just did exactly the same. It is terribly slow, when you unlock the phone some times it would take 20-30 sec to come to life. The camera would shut off by itself and is not in sinc with the flash at all. When browsing on the internet it would tell you to shut down other applications - out of memory, and this is when it is the only app running. Phone calls would be dropped at random. The phone shuts off by itself when ever it wants to. It would at random times tell you it is unsafe to remove the memory card. The joystick will not function anymore so now it is just a phone that can make and receive calls, nothing else.
This is by far the worst phone I have ever had, and it is not like it was one of the cheapest phones on the market, it was one of the most expensive. A total waste of money.
I will definately not waste my money on a Nokia again.

thank you for your letter use the contact us link and tell nokia directly or send the phone to a nokia care centre
If i have helped at all a click on the white star below would be nice thanks.
Now using the Lumia 1520

Firefox 4 -- Is it the worst browser ever?

I was using Firefox 3.??? and was prompted to upgrade to a newer version. I agreed to up-grade to 3.6.16 but when I went to download this I was fed Firefox 4. I have tried using 4 for about two weeks on an old Vaio laptop running Windows XP. It is unbelievably slow and crashes in every other site. Watching video online? Forget it. I loathe this new browser.
I have just uninstalled 4 and reinstalled 3.6.16. This was very easy (a) download 3.6.16 from FileHippo or similar source. Go to your [drive name]:/programs/mozilla/firefox/uninstall folder and click on uninstall. Do not click the tab which uninstalls your personal bookmarks and add-ons etc. 4 is gone. Don't need to reboot. Just click on 3.6.16 and install. Everything up and running in one minute. 3.6.16 is what I expect from Firefox -- easy to use, lightening fast, and no site crashes (except when visiting this site, curiously enough). Will be staying with 3.6.16 for a year or so to give the nice folks at Mozilla time to (a) tar and feather those responsible for this fiasco then burn them at the stake (b) scrap 4 and (c) go straight to Firefox 5 without stopping at Go or picking up $200 as they pass.
So, my question, is Firefox 4 the worst browser ever? I dunno but it is certainly the worst Mozilla browser I've ever tried using. Do you agree? Discuss.

Downloaded version 4 today. Worst move of the day. I don't have the time to learn a whole new layout. It wasn't broken - don't fix it. Does NOT support Billeo which I use all the time. Deleted 4 and re-installed 3.6. Will NOT upgrade again.

The new change in ios 7.1 as dialing and recieving screen is the worst change ever apple did as making it more bold you making it as a local phone the best one is of ios 6 so for the next update think for the bold

Dialing and recieving changes which had been done in ios 7.1 is worst than ever why you making it smaller make it bold like before as in ios 6.

Has anyone else bought the Kin TwoM and found it the worst thing ever??

I got the Kin TwoM and found it the worst cell phone I have had EVER.It never keeps its battery life but for a day and the screen is way too touchy and I can not send people photos or post them online I have yet to get the wi fi to work anymore it just stopped.I hate this cell and if I had the money I would buy different one right now but instead I am stuck with it.

Maybe I should clearify this a bit the issue wasn't the device but more along the devices popularity with the customers, this information is basically posted on a number of forums but I dont see Verizon addressing this as a issue because the device works well for some but it simply wasn't for everyone.. If you search the forum you could find a number of reported reviews...

Blackberry Curve is worst phone ever

I upgraded to the Blackberry Curve less than a year ago. Within that year, I have gone through 3 (THREE!!) Blackberry Curves. The first phone stopped working after about 3 months and they sent me a "refurbished" replacement. So I PAID for a new phone and was already using a used phone in 3 months. Well that phone overheated and the battery fried the phone about 3 months later. So in about 6 months, I was onto my third Blackberry Curve. It is now about 5 months later and my phone has stopped working again.
But here is the best part- after the phone turned off and I pulled the battery out 3 different times, I realized the phone was broken. So I had to wait the entire day to drive to a Verizon store to get ANOTHER phone. Magically, as I was driving to Verizon, the phone cuts on and is now working. I still went to Verizon, hoping they would be able to diagnose something so that I wouldn't need to go days without a working phone. I was told that since the phone is currently working (mind you- it was broken for 10 hours and had now been working for about 10 mins), there was nothing that could be done to help me. Instead, I was handed a PAMPHLET providing me with a number to call when (not if, but when) the phone broke down again, I could use this number to call and GET ANOTHER REFURBISHED PHONE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I said, "So I literally have to get a new refurbished phone every 3-4 months until I'm allowed an upgrade?" The Verizon store clerk said, "Yes, unless you want to pay for an upgrade."
Verizon has been NOTHING but a pain since I joined them. And this Blackberry phone is worth more trouble than it's worth. I have several friends who are also unfortunate Blackberry owners, and their phones are constantly breaking down and shutting off and the only thing Verizon has to offer is a refurbished phone.
I still don't understand how I paid for a new phone a year ago and was only able to use it for 3 months. Since then, I have been forced to use refurbished phones since. So why not just offer me a refurbished phone upfront, at a discounted price since you already know the Blackberry Curve sucks and is going to break down anyway?
Way to go Verizon!!! I can't wait until my contract is up with you so I can switch to a network that offers phones that work.

Is it the curve 8530 by chance? My entire family is cancelling all of our verizon phones once our contact is up (ONE MORE YEAR cannot come soon enough). So basically I upgraded to that stupid phone last August. Little did I know that it would be the WORST PIECE OF SH*T i've ever had to deal with in my life!!!! My original phone was actually the best one i had, in perfect condition until the battery overheated one day. The verizon people said it was due to a bad software update that kills the battery so they sent me a refurbished curve. Of course they said they'd "overnight ship" but it didn't arrive for 3 days. Did i complain? NO. Now this "new" curve lasted maybe 2 months max, before the trackpad suddenly switched directions for absolutely no reason!!! So yet again I had to go deal with verizon store which is my worst nightmare because the customer service is so bad. They wasted like 2 hours of my time testing out the trackpad before they finally could conclude that YES it was backwards for no reason. SO they said they'd send me a new replacement and GUESS WHAT they send me the WRONG phone so i was without a phone for basically a week waiting for them to figure it out. THEN finally this new replacement came and literally i had it for 3 weeks when suddenly the charger stops working. First I take it in and the chick at the store tries to claim that i'll have to pay for a new replacement because there is this TINY scratch on the front CLEARLY having nothing to do with the phone's ability to charge!!! So I freaked out and left and sent my dad in later. He comes back and my phone is working perfectly and he said that they first tried to claim it was a pressure crack but then they switched the battery and found that it was working fine and the battery went bad. So i was like oh good at least i won't need to replace again... BUT THEN ONE WEEK LATER, i wake up and my phone's dead and won't charge AGAIN!!! So i take it back and try to explain that this happened last week blah blah and the guy at the store is SO rude and shows me that this tiny little prong in my phone charger port is bent, so that's why it won't charge. **bleep**? I've had this phone for THREE weeks and the charger can break when i've done NOTHING to damage it??!! ANyways i wanted to try another store so my dad and i go in and they basically confirm there's a chip in the charger and they claim that it's ALL my fault and it's physical damage and i'd have to pay $300 for a replacement. $300 for a f*cking refurbished Curve that has already broken on me THREE times???? IT's a joke. I'm sorry that this is so long but right now i'm using my FOUR YEAR OLD LG DARE that actually lasted me for 2 years with no problems. I just can't believe after being loyal Verizon customers and dealing with ALL the problems with my blackberry and their customer service that they would blame ME for breaking the charger when clearly everyone knows that refurbished phones are sketchy (GOOGLE IT, they all say that the charger ports are usually messed up!) And we WILL be cancelling our accounts as soon as our contracts are up, Verizon. I've also advised all of my friends and coworkers to NEVER sign up with VErizon due to the horrible service I've experienced. Hello AT&T!!! one more year and I will finally leave this horrible company!

Hp the worst brand ever! Worst support and customer service

I bought the HP envy touchsmart 15-j001tx from Relaince Digital, Mangalore on 1st october 2013.
When i reached home and opened the laptop i noticed a spot in the middle of the screen that was seen even when the laptop was switched off. It resembled some sort of liquid inside the screen. When i turned on the laptop it disappeared after a few minutes so i left it. On 2nd october when i opened the laptop in the morning i saw that the liquid spot had reappeared and it had spread and it was now covering the middle one third of the screen.. I turned on the laptop but this time it didnt disappear.
I tried calling the seller and he told me to call customer care.. I called customer care but since it was gandhi jayanti they werent available. So i called them again on 3rd october and they registered my complaint and asked me to send pics and i did immediately! And they replied saying this damage is not covered under warranty. I called up the dealer again and he said bring it over.. So i headed to mangalore again (from manipal) and when i reached there they tell me that they wont replace the piece but if i take it to hp centre in mangalore they will give me a DOA certificate and then i can get a replacement. So i took it there but they too are dancing around the topic. Now i dont have a laptop and i dont have my 80,000 rupees that i spent trying to get this.
I will fight to get either my money back or a new laptop but to anyone who is reading this... PLEASE keep in mind that HP has the worst customer service ever.. And Reliance digital will sell u faulty pieces and steal your money..
Do not trust these people ever..

Dilip1991, I saw your post and forwarded it to the right people for their review. You should hear back from someone shortly via private message on this Forum (please note as it is the weekend, it may be a couple of days before you are contacted).
