These overpriced handsets got no love from CNET reviewers. Check out the five worst cell phones of the tail end of 2006. Are there few Windows Mobile Phone in the list? Click on read more to find out!
- I-mate Jaq:
With their cramped keyboards, short battery life, “peculiar” design, and the need for a special screwdriver to get at the battery and SIM card of one phone, these overpriced handsets got no love from CNET reviewers.Not content to seek out only the best tech on the market, we give you the five lowest rated cell phones of Q4 2006.
- Bang & Olufsen Serene:
The Bang & Olufsen Serene is a beautiful and elegant phone with a truly unique design. It even has a built-in motor to assist you in opening and closing the phone. The Bang & Olufsen Serene is a showpiece of a cell phone with a design unlike any other. Unfortunately, form does not meet function, and the Serene is more suited to be showcased in a museum rather than carried around in your pocket.
- Motorola ic502:
The Motorola ic502 has a limited feature set and a low-resolution display, and its menu interface is jarring for Nextel stalwarts. Though the Motorola ic502 successfully combines the Sprint and Nextel networks, its limited feature set and design peculiarities make it a poor choice for Nextel loyalists.
- Pantech C120:
The simple Pantech C120 is easy to use and offers decent performance for its size. It also comes with a VGA camera. The Pantech C120′s volume could be louder, and the speakerphone quality was poor. The camera does not record video. The Pantech C120 is a decent choice for anyone seeking an easy-to-use phone for making calls. Frequent users should look elsewhere, however.
- Samsung IP-830w:
The Samsung IP-830w is a dual-mode CDMA/GSM phone for use domestically and overseas. The smart phone also features Windows Mobile 5, Bluetooth and EV-DO support. The Samsung IP-830w is bulky and has a disappointingly short talk-time battery life. It also lacks Wi-Fi, and the QWERTY keyboard is a bit cramped. Unless your business requires you to travel overseas frequently, there are a number of sleeker and better-performing Windows Mobile smart phones than the Samsung IP-830w.
