sorry to disappoint but the report tells more about life on mars than it does about the most and least reliable manufacture. the report is for the gullible. the k750i has more bugs than any phone at this present time but its not even on there. the percentage of handsets returned has been estimated by some organisations to be around 43%. the most unreliable are probably SE, LG, samsung. the most reliable are probably nokia and motorola. |

Well, then why don't we see about Motorola? V710 - Hugely buggy, bad camera with alignment problems. MPX220 - Nice smartphone, if it could place and hold a call. V731C - Crap performance, poorer reliability. C3XX - Gawd, the worst of the worst, Motorola never knew how to make a good entry level bar phone. V600 - Crappy call performance here in Canada. V220 - Flimsy build quality, middling performance, lots of defects. V262/V265 - Flimsy build quality V186 - Flimsy (and real cheap) build quality. |

Nokia seems to be the most consistant out there

" like so many do on hofo about motorola. He'res why I like moto: They are highly moddable. I can change so much on my motos through seem edits and flashing. That alone is reason enough for me to use them.

Looking at the graph, the only Motorola phone to perform better than the industry average is the V3. I guess it proves that this thread is very justified, not just in the US but in Europe too. Any comments? |

Best is Nokia, hands down, reliable phones. coming out of there sleep this year on phone designs. Se and Sanyo are both tied for well developed phones that last. Lg is third, even though sometimes i think they are first with some of there phones out. worst i agree, motorola. yuck :P bad phones blargel. i dont have to state why, i been around phones along time now. and if you have to you would agree. anyone who works in technical support for phones would agree with me. |

there is a reason why LG doesnt do much on GSM. it sucks worse than Nokias luck with CDMA |
