CNET Top 5: Awful cell phones

[@AndreVictorGoncalves]

Watching this in 2020 is pretty remarcable. I remember wanting the Flipout back in the day. Btw this is the first time ever I saw a fedex ad in youtube. Incredible.

2010: I've never heard of ZTE 2016/2017: ZTE, haven't you heard?

[@Linus7671DX]

Android 1.5 in the Dell Aero looks like Android 2.3.

[@awesome12091998]

I happen to have the Samsung SGH-a107. Sure it may not have Bluetooth, but I don't use Bluetooth a lot so it's not a big deal to me. I don't mind that it doesn't have an external display. Besides, this was my first phone, and I find that it is a decent starter phone for people who have never had a phone before. I do, however, agree that the name sucks. I have no idea where they came up with the name for this. Maybe it should've been called the Samsung Basic Flip or something like that.

@LionheartCloud i feel what you're saying i too am an android user, i've done a lot on my android, like OC, rooting, changing build props to make games compatible, removing licenses, and a whole lot more, but sometimes its just too tiring and frustrating to do and i just dont have the time, as soon as the itouch5g is released with a bigger screen like 4.3 inches maybe, im swithcing back to apple.

[@TheAventadorSV]

Exactly, i used to own an iPhone and then got an imac and the itunes integration between the two at first was pretty nice and then itunes started to get annoying, it was constantly copying songs when my phone was syncing and removing the artwork and then i found the nexus 4 which has the pure andriod experience and costs 300 unlocked and i fell in love with it instantly

[@jackfrost9736]

I had the vivas OMG BIGEST PILe of 💩💩💩💩💩💩💩💩in the history of electronics So I bought a nexus 4 and it was heaven

[@r2212xx]

Sony Ericsson Vivaz was cool and not to forget its awesome camera. Yes it came with a resistive touch screen but that was the only gripe one could have with it.

[@kingslave021]

The nokia n8 and n9 kinda blew it, but for the lumia series speaks for itself

[@BrassZeppelin]

wait WHAT? NOT BREAK EASILY? ARE YOU KIDDING ME? I HAVE AN IPOD TOUCH (Which uses the SAME EXACT glass as the iphone 4) I dropped it on my kitchen floor from about 2-3 feet, which really isn't that far, and now the screen is completely cracked to the point where if I drop it one more time, it will probably shatter. and there will no longer be any glass on it. Did I also mention that because of that drop, the home button no longer works right? I now have to press it multiple times for it to work

[@kingslave021]

have YOU tried the lumia 900?

[@RiponSikdar]

Isn't that "Chuncky Little Guy" holding the Motorola Flipout TheSnazzyiPhoneGuy???

[@mdogzino]

The ad is in the video, not before. you can't adblock that.

[@BrassZeppelin]

Then explain how when I dropped my ipod, the screen shattered?

[@Generic_Username]

how is the web not square? lol, in what shape is your web browser?

[@APhan26]

How was it... Im about to get one this week...

[@SiblingGamers]

an ad literally in a video?

[@puddlee]

Who puts an ad in their video?

[@eganplaysMC]

A lot of people

[@bluestarkad17]

the samsung glyde should be number one on ALL "worst phones" list...no matter what year it is!!!

[@mylesgordon]

@hieungochannel In the description you've spelt "Phone" wrong, you put "Phine" :D

[@MichaelD8393]

What about the Samsung Juke?

[@conorreilly100]

i work in a phone store and we get iphones all the time more than any other phone because some 1 has dropped it and it has shattered the screen to pieces

[@realspacedog]

@Rxinal And 40% of PCs are terrible too. You have to get a good one. What's your point?

[@crazyzee81]

what the hell is up with double ads? I go out of my way not to use adblockers on youtube because if it helps support the few vid creators I watch then I am all for it. But to sit through a 37 second ad then when the video starts you throw in an extra 18 sec ad. Maybe I'm griping but that kinda annoyed me. But I do like your videos alot.

[@herrerac430]

Were is the Motorola citrus from Verizon? I think that should of been number one

[@ej_tech]

Nothings wrong with Symbian OS when it runs on a Nokia phone!!!

[@KomicTurtle]

I have that Samsung Phone listed at 3. Had it as a back up. And honestly, it had to be one of the best phones I've owned. The battery life, the simplicity and reliability- for just $5, it was fantastic.

[@LionheartCloud]

Just google it or maybe watch some drop tests. I remembered there is one particular drop test between the iphone 4s and samsung galaxy s2, the iphone 4s looks like a total crap after that drop test.

[@enjoiskateboardingSB]

Hahaha that zte agent phone reminds me of me dads $30 phone called the Telstra roamer, it was slow, 0.3 megapixel camera,4inch screen display and no bluetooth!

[@tryzmsotryll]

+Justin oh mann great specs!! My friend has a fucking 40$ android tablet its running 4.4 kitkat and it crashes on everything LOL

[@ostheer]

1:33 did he say symbian OS? That cant be true. Also symbian isn't horrible

[@daniajoseph3397]

Ur description. Says hard to buy a good phine instead of phone

[@EXTDubstep]

ware will i get a cell phine

[@TheTCOLL]

When you drop something thats glass its gonna break. Its like your comparing Tupperware to glassware. "Well my Tupperware is strong!" lol

[@CFaux220]

@caseyforrestjack yeah, not they're built in to the videos. well, it beat MY adblocker.

[@razrv3lc]

There are only two little slabs of glass on the back. Why would you even have to get it fixed? iPhone 5's were made to be put in cases. They feel better in a bulky Otterbox case, than they do without any case. Apple made it TOO small. I love mine, other than that.

[@Suddenly_Audrey]

My friend had a custom flipout back in 2009

[@Sbarrett1]

@channel5980, finally someone who understands relations with phones and their is.

[@511mohammad]

its funny how the sgs3 breaks the instant you drop it and iphone 5 doesn't break how much you drop it

[@andreww1212]

I had a Dell Streak back in 2011. It was decent at first and just went straight to hell in about a year's time.

[@hibrian9]

what about the iphone?

[@Brett1psp]

I had to send my iphone 4 back to apple in 2011 becuase it was overheating all the time and i used the Samsung SGH-a107 and it wasnt that bad. Yes it was alwful compared to the iPhone but I still could call and text on it for the week i was without my phone. Plus it was only $7 at walmart.

[@mrbatmaxx]

where is icrap?

[@thekorgboy98]

Anybody notice in the description "a bad cell phine"

[@martin13727]

the home buttom is disconfigurated seach in google how to configurate it manually is vere easy

[@TheBcoolGuy]

The best of 2013 and maybe 14 is the note 3. Well, the note 4 will come out in 2014 but whatever... note 2 works as a computer, note 3 works like an 8-core cpu computer.

[@tjsdc619]

Whats a phine?

[@dancinghoboman]

A raindrop fell on my iPhone and it broke. I find it incredibly hard to believe it survived falling in the toilet.

[@Texarmageddon]

Quite frankly I feel the same about it. I have owned a mac before... I've owned the Iphone 3g and 4.... I honestly can't express myself with enough words how limited the OS feels (keyword feels).

[@newart2004]

Really cause I got an iPhone 3 and I have chucked that thing across the room and there's not even a scratch on it. And no I don't have a case on it. I can't believe an iPhone 4 is that much more breakable.

[@LillyJem]

I love it how both of you spelled Vivaz wrong, lol

[@EXTDubstep]

first thing I noticed was the fed ex ad in THE video

[@mattbargate]

Put htc wilfire in this... it can hardly run android and apps... when playing music or a video you have to try loading it 6 times VERY slowly and then... it crashes...

[@mdogzino]

They just put ads in the videos now? Thanks Cnet, now I need 3 minutes of ads to watch a 3 minute video Wow!

[@CClancy45]

The HTC Droid Eris was the most epic piece of crap I have ever used.

[@MichaelD8393]

0:15 to skip to the real video, you're welcome.

[@Teck24.7]

I liked the Flipout a lot, I don't know how cracked out you gotta be to say that it was a bad phone. It might not of done well but I liked it.

[@adamellison123]

Why isn't the iphone in this?

[@chrischoy9]

Most of the S4's features are gimmicks that most people don't use on a daily basics. It's very powerful buy bloated down with some stutter unless if the "s" features are disabled

[@DCDC2012]

I think the flipout is fine screen is as big as the bb 9900

[@kingslave021]

Try the lumia 900. I can guarantee that you won't be disappointed. Best it compare with your n9.

[@BrassZeppelin]

Some people only want to buy the ipod itself, not extra accesories that make it bigger and bulkier.

[@NinjaHotel]

I love Sony Ericsson Walkman edition P: Hope there's coming more of these.

[@DingDongSingSongKenz]

2:32 I have the Evo Epic... When i saw it move across the screen, I thought they would rate it #1 lol

[@vajiraism]

Haha !! What happened to yours ?

[@MrTamer125]

@HOUSTONTEXASSCREW they dont suck they just have to be upgraded in future i think they will dominate the smartphone market beacause nowadays phones become more like a mini PCs but still everyone has a different view

[@thegoldenbricksguy]

whats a cellphine?

[@Light23K]

the reason not very many iphone owners talk crap about Androids is because they are busy enjoying their phones and Android owners are everywhere talking crap of a phone they have never used 'cause their phone suck.BTW you are right on.

[@wirelesspizza]

I got stuck whith the Dell one for 6 mouths decited i wanted the iphone paid the 600 buck to get on 2

[@PizzaBox72]

An advertisement in a video?

[@sirbradleyremington6999]

motorola flipout, looks like a box

[@conorreilly100]

iphone 5 isnt great tho cuz if you break the glass at the back its a big job getting it fixed.

[@Light23K]

Lucky me and my wife and my cousins and all my friends and coworkers who have a iphone 4 or 4s and still have the glass without cracks.I drop it again today watching the Avengers and again the glass is fine.IDK where you get you info from.BTW just because yours iphones break does not mean most iphone does.

[@invaderhim23]

why?

[@aaronjf94]

My grandpa bought it for me and didn't tell me what phone he got me and so I had no control over it.

[@guyvesproductions]

i can't even fine a good cell phine, but i can fine a good cell phone

[@Poisontooth]

I like this guys attitude 1:12 "What a stupid name" lol

[@Macs4everr]

@adamellison123 cuz its a good phone?

[@michaelsomers4823]

dont know what hes saying ive had the samsung SGH-a107 and its a great phone if ya want a basic phone.

[@SingHouse]

the presenter wins the award for wearing one of the top 5 worst polo shirts ever.

[@assassin26764]

Remember the original mac? Remember how before that there wasn't a home desktop computer anyone could use instantly. Remember how all the smartphones sucked but the iPhone was released and made the ideas easy and intuitive to use. Remember how when the iPad came out, there wasn't really a tablet market but now its huge? Apples sales are lower because their prices are higher, but that does not mean they didn't revolutionize media. (they also revolutionized music players with the iPod.

[@TheAventadorSV]

I'm not exactly an apple hater, (I use an imac) but it comes to phones, its obvious that apple has really has a ton of catching up to do, if it wants to compete against android

[@TheAventadorSV]

Where is the iPhone 5?

[@MrXManQ]

it wasnt even out yet

[@EddieKMusic]

it was...

[@webeo7397]

The description says "cell phine".

[@jimjim435]

look in the description "cell phine" really?

[@Light23K]

i find it incredibly hard to believe that a raindrop broke your iphone.

[@GoGoggansGo]

agreed I work in the auto industry and it is the same with auto makers. Nobody is perfect

[@jocelyndominguez2581]

It

[@misterninetyseven2898]

Watching this on my Galaxy S10e. The S10e is rolling on the floor laughing at all of those phones.

[@LionheartCloud]

being objective means paying for a phone that breaks the instant you drop it from waist height. Being restricted to a company and i have to listen to them no matter what? Battery is non-removable, screen is only 3.5" whereas other top tier phones have bigger and better screens. And mind you, i came from a 4s to the galaxy nexus. It was after i had my galaxy nexus when i came to realise how much i have been missing out actually. :)

[@MrTelfs]

I'm watching this in the future!

[@Benke1997]

where is the lg cookie kp500

[@EDVERSiTY_DECOM]

Where's the iPhone?

[@INMATE2468]

Actually it could very well be that 6 ppl did infact have one of those phones

[@j800r]

That's what pushed me to Android. Started out with a Blackberry Curve 8520 as my first "Smartphone". It's feckin awful. Total and utter shite and I will never touch another Blackberry device ever again. My upgrade date came on 26th April (this year). Was looking at iPhone cause I own a Mac. Even the 3gs was unaffordable for me (unemployed on tight budget) so Android or Windows Phone it was. Found the Galaxy Ace 2 and for £17/month it's absolutely fantastic.

[@bluedragon1]

what? make me watch an ad?! WHAT IS THIS WITCHCRAFT?!

[@TheNonshalanto]

wow im so glad i dont have a cell phone, some people are just scary and annoying with cell phones

[@NoAwoo]

Samsung Sph-m910 is the worst running Android 2.2.2 and crashes every time from regular use!

[@PetarMarinov37]

All Android phones should be here. As well as all windows phones. Pretty much everything that's not an iPhone 3GS and up. I have had many, many, many many many phones. I've gone through more in the past few years than most people would go through in a lifetime. The only phones I would consider using are the iPhone 3GS, iPhone 4, and iPhone 4S. I have had all of the iPhones, as well as a few Androids, several Windows phones and countless non-smartphones. I currently have the 4S, and I am as happ
