“Samsung Handset is the most reliable; the least is Motorola,”

(Click here to view the original thread with full colors/images)


Posted by: AaronT

According to this report in a German magazine, Samsung are the most reliable handset manufacterer and Motorola are the least.

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?

the report has more holes in it than swiss cheese. for a start the d500 hasn't even been out a year. the very fact that the d500 is one of the most unreliable phones so far this year because the software is so new. there have also been lots of problems reported with the hardware.
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.

thats probably the best factual argument I have ever seen.

A Samsung or LG is still just a Samsung or LG.......YUK! Moto is the best.

i wouldnt call SE unreliable because of the k750i.

ive found it much better than motorola. however, nokia is probably the most reliable.



Posted by: TheRupp

I had 9 Samsung A530's, all due to screens blowing out on me, keypads, locking up, not charging, and basically every electronic malfunction possible.

On the reverse side, Motorola did have the V60 and the T720, but I haven't really seen any horrible phones from them lately either.

Tell that to the suckers who bought the Motorola V220, C333, V600, T731 and all the other motorolas that are very problematic.

Exactly, he judges a company by one phone.

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.

Yeah, it's called going to the store and looking at their crappy quality. And it's also called being in the industry and looking at techs friends and associates from several carriers I have worked with oveer the years ***** about the crappy Motorola models I've mentioned coming back over and over again.

I'm sure my 8 years in the business (and not on the retail side) is nothing compared to all the wisdom you seem to have.

add to that...

v300/400/500/600.. dead earpieces, battery issues (ya ya it was fixed after the bijillion flash files that were found online.

having said that i've seen 3 sturdy reliable moto's
e398, v635 and v3.

share with me the issues you've had with these phones.

i'll tell you the ones i've seen

k750i.. camcorder bug and some camera ribbons coming lose
s700 none i know of
k700 first firmware battery issue
t630/7 none i know of
t610 first batch earpiece buzz? nothing else after
z200 yes it was junk
z600 none i know of
t68i had firmware issues..

the difference with SE and moto i find is SE may have defects up front.. or firmware bugs...

moto will just break on your after 3 months if the item is not firmware related.

i swear i've had to fix like 20 v300/400/500's with dead earpieces 3-5 months down the road.

i think samsung and nokia are the most reliable...never have to really flash or open to repair either of them.

Here's my personal experience.
I've had a samsung s105 and v200 that
still work to this day. No operation problems.
My parents are using those phones presently.

Then I bought a motorola v500 and v600
last year. The v500 earpiece died
after 4 months, and both had serious reception
problems. I can recall numerous times when
I get suddenly disconnected or fail to dial out.
And the moto menus were so slow and laggy
compared to samsung. I mean, 3 second
lags.

Once I tried to call a friend with my v600 only
to have it fail 3 times. I grabbed my mom's
s105 right after and it connected immediately.
Mind you, all my phones use t-mobile.

My one year contract is finally over, and I can't
wait to get my hands on a samsung. Say what
you will, but I know that I will NEVER trust
Moto again.

I have give Moto way too many chances, and everytime they prove to be worthless. Other then looks,, they suck..



Posted by: Jo_au

Having shared my customers' experiences of Motorolas, I don't think I'd buy one. I've yet to encounter a Motorola model (V3 included) which hasn't come back to the shop time after time. The same goes for their Bluetooth headsets.

That said the Sony Ericssons aren't a lot better... we've experienced a lot of firmware problems with the W800 & K750. Speaker problems and the same old issue with the joystick, continuing in the proud tradition of the K700 and T610 before it

This is just my experience, but I'd put Nokia right up there. Every time I buy another brand it always seems to break. So I'm sticking with Nokia for now!



Posted by: evilrome0

for my entire life ive had samsung phones.

n105, r225, s105, d415, and now t809.

the only problem i cant stand is with the t809, the battery blows and the screen lets in dust. otherwise it had the options i want and looks cool.


btw, almost all my samsungs (not t809) have been through the was at last one time. the d415 went through the washer and dryer FOUR times. worked fine... sold it on ebay to a very happy person.

they may not have the most features but the have the most WORKING features.



Posted by: SuperDodge

Every Motorola I've had in the last 5 years has been buggy at best and a P.O.S. at worst.



Posted by: Yze

motorola needs to stop spending money on NEW & DIFFERENT things and actually put some time into fixing their POS gui and menu system.



Posted by: Skyline R34

while all of u are arguin bout whether SE or moto is better.i bring in an all new preposition.i think nokia is crap.serious.my first nokia, the 3310 can nl=o linger start properly just about i yr i got it and now it cant start.though it doesnt matter.i don use it.next up, the 3100 hanged on me 4-5 times in the 1 and half month i had it.which is fair enough and better then the 2650 where in 9 days in hanged three to four times.So far,the SE(K500) problem i had was the charger problem.but seein it was only in my possession for barely four months.the same goes to the moto(e398 to ROKR).It had trouble with the charger and restarted a few times itself.but using the "ROKR" software the problems are fixed.and now i got a new problem with my panansonic X100.it cannot start properly once in awhile when its havin moond swings and then just decided to hang on me.haven really used samsung.so cant comment.however a 2 yr + LG(5300) i know of is still well.which is the most reliable.the two brands u've been arguing: either the moto or samsung. its now left to each individual and their experience with the brands.Really.but whatever it is,nokia doesnt deserve the top place.all my nokia phones have problems.couldnt be mere coincidence.got too many of them to be one.

wow, you are a GENIUS. Let me start by saying that i have not used all the motos on this list. The bottom three are entry level phones and therefore are not going to be the most rock solid phones around. They work well enough and are for the people who don't need a lot of features. The v600 is a good phone and many people who have used it love it. Besides, your attack is that it has crappy call performance in canada. Yeah, thats reason enough to dismiss the phone. Your comment on the c3xx is ridiculous because you don't even state why you don't like it. You are absolutely right about the mpx220 being buggy and i cannot comment on the last two.

So basically, you're basing ALL of motorola on 3 bad phones. Here is a little hint, motorola makes a TON of phones. You cannot judge a company based on your obviously limited experience.

Maybe I am in the minority here, but I have used a lot of motos and have not had many problems at all. The biggest thing that has happened is that my v300 stopped charging after like a year and a half. The rest of my motos have been rock solid and I have been very impressed with them. Not to put down SE, but I am constantly hearing about people getting the WSOD on their phones and that does not inspire a lot of confidence.

If you have truly had a bad experience with motorola then I completely understand. I simply can't stand the people who get on here and bash motorolas simply because all the cool kids are doing it. I'm not saying you are shaolin, but those people out there really need to get a life.

I think the carrier has alot to do with it. I think they make the manufacturer hit a price point. sometimes that price is too low and you get crap. LG for Cingular is horrible phones. LG with Verizon far far better. For me the low end Motos are crap 260/276s but the 815 v3 are as reliable as anything out there. Samsung are are dependable for Verizon not so much for T Mobile. Nokia seems to be the most consistant out there

I completely agree with this. I'm the first to admit that motorola phones can be shoddy. Especially their lower end phones. They just don't feel sturdy to hold. On the other hand, while the v600 and v3 might be outdated, they are some sturdy phones. They feel great to hold.

I personally can't stand the samsung UI, but you don't see me going around saying "we all know samsung sucks " 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.

Only ever used a Motorola. Had a v60i for 3.5 years straight and never a hitch with the thing. Kicked it, dropped it down several flights of stairs, had it go skidding across concrete floors multiple times and the only problem I ever had was the buttons got a bit fussy once ... after I got it wet. An hour later when it dried out it was fine again. I only finally put in on the shelf a week ago when I got my V3c. The antenna had finally started to crack off and the speaker was seemingly dying on me. The volume was getting low. But, for the life of the thing it took a helluva lot of punishment and never a single problem for me.

While I can't speak for anyone else ... Motorola has nothing but good praise from me.



Posted by: XPADREX

Intereesting. I've had a Moto Startac ST7868 for about, oh... five years. It's gone on motorcycle trips, gotten wet, been dropped... and still rockin'. My wife's Samsung we replaced three times- this last time, I said "____ it", and snagged an E815. Now, I don't want to say "all are" or "none are"- because frankly, I don't have as much experience as some of you with multiple phones. However, we'll see how this motorola holds up, and if it lives up to my own expectations.

Posted by: nokiaman76

I have had some good motos and some good nokias never had a problem with my nokias only had a one bad problem with the moto and it was that i bought it off ebay but it had warranty and they gave me a new one . The new samys for verizon are not that good the a650 and a670 were alot better in my opinion.



Posted by: ForeverUnknown

There are good and bad phones for every company.

For myself, the list of reliability is: Nokia>Samsung>SE>Motorola>LG or Nokia>SE>Samsung>Motorola>LG

Nokia's are pretty outstanding. My family and I have used: 8290, 8890, 5190, 6230b, 6102, and 6620 (I never noticed how many phones we've gone through). Never had any major problems with any. I also think Nokias, in general, have the best reception.

I have never used Samsung but friends who have used them haven't had problems.

I owned one SE which was the T616. Decent phone which had its quirks but did what it was needed without a fuss.

Now for Motos. We've had 2 x T720 which both eventually broke. Hinge on one and don't remember the other. Didn't have great reception either. However, I picked up a SLVR L7 last week and it has been amazingly good. Reception is as good or better than my Nokias. Also I love the moddability of Motos which is probably the reason I will stick with them. I get bored very easily, so I always try to change or improve aspects of my toys.

LG on the other hand is just terrible. Bought one which developed a funky camera (showing green and purple spots on the screen or just would start) so I RMA'ed it. Got the replacement which only received calls about 1/10 times even though it showed a full signal. I could stand a foot away from someone, have them call me but still go directly to VM. Never again will I bother with LG.

For all of Motorola's failings, they did hit a home run with the E815.

Posted by: chemikaldreem

i had 2 of the moto linux based touchscreen chinese phones, and they were awesome. no bugs, no problems, slick interface, very high build quality....(i had an a768i and an e680i) these are the motos that i would consider buying again, although they are pretty expensive. hey, anyone know if that a-1200 moto is linux based??---the only thing i didnt like about these phones was the lack of 850 band. linux + motorola = awesome phone. im dissapointed now, because my razor is junk

Is hard to agree with this report.. I think that Motorola is overall a good company, they might have some nasty phones, but overall they are good.. Samsung? I dont agree about them either.. I think LG should had been mention as one of the best along with a couple of other ones..

Not really.

It has excellent RF, but horrible build quality. The odds of getting a "good" E815 were worse than they are in Vegas. One of the WORST designed housings I have ever come across, and to top it off the worst charging port known to mankind.

The V325I however, is a good solid, stand up double maybe a triple if you leg it out a bit.



Posted by: Logi7

Ive had SE's since the T636 and i now exclusively use them
BEST PHONES EVER especially the newer mid-high end phones are absolutely fanstastic

if you have problems, debrand and upgrade firmware
most people with problems don't know how to do this and b*itch



Posted by: Tauro72

All I know is that in comparison to other companies, Samsung is the one company that produces some of the best phones, but overall with the worst reception..



Posted by: rafster

As you can see by my sig, I've used MANY different phones, and I'm sure I failed to put some that I've used for about a week or so....

So...

Here goes my .02 cents.

In order of most crappy to best...

LG can **** my ****.... worst GSM phones ever made.... I'm not too enthusiastic about there CDMA phones, but I hear they're better than the crap they bring to Cingular/T-Mobile...

Motorola makes some good phones and some bad phones. With the phones that I used, I really didn't have too many problems. I can tell you one thing though... working for Cingular for 3 years, I saw a lot of Motos coming in with bad screens, bad charging ports, and keypads gone bad... And this was usually before 6 months of ownership. Our store, I guess, got a bad shipment of RAZRs when they first came out, and we were getting returns on the left and right...

SE... SE is kind of a hit and miss sometimes. There are some amazing SE phones (P series, W series, T Series) and then there are some horrible ones like that Z Series) I had no less than 15 Z500's and 6 Z520's just die on me...
I would still get an SE before I would get a moto... they're much more reliable. If you get the right series....

Samsung... I really like Samsung phones... the only thing I don't like... for example with my new Sync... WHY THE HELL DID THEY REMOVE VOICE DIALING!!!!!!!!! I just can't fathom why a company that makes great phones and puts everything under the sun into the A707 would bother taking out such an important feature on the phone???? Can someone shine some light on this?

Nokia!!! In my book.... They're #1.... There's no ifs/buts/ors about it. All in all they have the phones with the newest/best/fastest features. Love their UI... and the way that they can make a phone as amazing as the 6230 series sooooo small, yet.. soooooooo powerfull!!!

Anyways.. that's my .02... wait.. make that .03 cents...

Rafster



Posted by: phantomsunny

Well I can add my $.02 to the discussion. I've had Nokia's, SE's, a Panasonic and 3 or 4 motorola's. To date the worst experiences have been with the moto's and the SE's. The Samsungs X450 and X426 were probably the best and X450 is still in use by my wife as I write, the X426 was sold. Have never changed a part. The SE's were just problematic.
The latest moto issue was a new V3i that died after 3 weeks of use. The replacement is a V3 and I'm very skeptical about it but the replacement was done so I will just watch it for a while. I've had it for a little over 3 weeks so it actually outlasted the V3i.



Posted by: drp_V3

I had the Moto 3xx series, useless and had to be sent back to be replaced because of battery issues. The first version of the V3 (still using it) had the glaring problem with dust under the screen, this to me is a mind blowing oversight in poor design. Having said that the Nokia on my list is also really bad for dust under the screen. The SE on my list, its joystick stopped working after a year. So they all seem to have problems to some degree at times.
I just wish that Moto improved their interface and menu structure..... it really is bad.



Posted by: FerneyZan

My samsungs have been overlal the best ones in comparison to other brands...



Posted by: Towelie55

ok your all wrong, wrong wrong wrong wrong....wrong

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.

I dunno....


There are some actual nice Moto phones that work...

I've never seen/used an LG phones that doesn't have problems....

I would say Moto before LG...

Posted by: FerneyZan

Agree too.. LG has been coming with a lot of cool stuff, but they are only doing it with some carriers not with all and as cool as some of their phones may look like, the quality is not 100% there.. But Motorola other then the RAZR and the original MotoQ, all of their other phones have been very solid..

IMO it should be like this:

1- Nokia.. as long as they get their act back together..
2- Samsung
3- Motorola
4- RIM
4- Sanyo.. Who are they? they only provide phones to some very few carriers.
5- LG.. But IMO they need to start offerning some of their CDMA phones to the USA GSM/UMTS marker..
6- Palm.. Too bad their creactivity is limited to PDAs, and some thick ones to make things worst..



Posted by: rylenf

This applies to NA handsets

1- nokia(i may not like the NA phones, but if i want to sell a phone that won't boomerang/break on me its the one)
2- samsung(boring but functional)
3- SE(tops in a FULLY featured product, the odd defect(typically firmware upgrade would solve)
4- Moto(the only phone with a passing grade is the V635(still had dropped call issue)
5- LG (probably less repairs than moto but the NA selection is bland)

To the question posted earlier "what specifically was wrong with the C3xx series?"
Everything, C330 officially recalled, battery sux, reception +sux, slow menu(amazingly in a analog screen, with no features), just an unreal POS.

I avoid selling moto, not that i feel they are the worst, they break! I completely agree with the report.
And i am glad they are losing market share, until they put quality in



Posted by: MountainBikerMark

for me Samsung has been my best bet for build quality and durability. Moto has been notoriously less than good on their q/c from my experience. LG hasnt been better but not a whole lot.
there is a reason why LG doesnt do much on GSM. it sucks worse than Nokias luck with CDMA



Posted by: TerribleT

I have no experience with Samsung - though my boss just got one so I will find out shortly any shortcomings it may have. I have to handle all the cell phones for the guys in the field. We have had nothing but Motorolas (with a stray LG once in a while) beginning with the Startacs, then V60s, V262s. W315s and E815s. I can't think of any of the Motorolas that have let us down for the abuse the guys give them. They are constantly dropped, closed in truck doors and who knows what else. By time I get them back they look like junk.
I'm sorry for all of the problems everyone seems to have experienced but as long as I'm buying the phones they will be Motorolas (with the exception of the Razr - just don't cut it, bad reception in rural areas)

No idea what you mean.. LGs are really good phones and from what I have seen so far, at this moment their phones have overall better reception then the current samsungs..



Posted by: rafster

Where the **** have you been? LG is probably the worst in reception... sure... it might get good reception some places... but the second that it lowers to like 1-2 bars... the call will drop because LG doesn't know how to hold a call in bad reception areas...

Samsung and Nokias do...

Samsung and Nokias do...

Thats funny,, someone who things that knows..

Samsung has alrways been know for having weaker reception then other brands.. Also, am not talking about LGs from over a year ago, am talking about their current phones now.. The CU500 is way better in reception then even the SYNC inclduing that has a better specaker for music and a few other things.. The current LG for their money are better in reception..

Also, next time don't post if you are acting like a drunk disrespecting people for wanting to comment on a thread like you are supposed to be 100% right.. Am surpriced you did not got banned already..

I actually didn't mean any disrespect... the **** word starts with an H... not an F... LOL

I actually have been in the cell phone industry for about 5 years...

I've worked for all major carriers, and I'm now a store manager at a Cricket store... So, I actually know quite a bit about cell phones... When I worked for Cingular for 2.5 years, almost all the returns that we got were LG or Motos (Razr)

Usually either people were unhappy with reception, call quality, or crappy menu speeds... And these were on LG and Moto's higher end phones...

So.. please...

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.

dude my v265 fell from the top of the step onto hardwood floors only had the faceplate pop out some didnt even break and my v710 may have a bad camera indoors but its not buggy at all it does its job calling and signal strength.

In the last couple of years, Motorola has become a great company with products that have the best reception. My wife's L7 is awesome, but so far, I have not seen any other Motos that I would wanna for my self other then the Moto Q that is coming to AT&T soon, but it seems that is not getting to us soon enough.. I need a new phone..

Although I have a Nokia N75 now, I still have a V3xx for backup.
All in all i find the quality and the reception of the V3xx to be just as good, maybe even better than the N75.
((One of the best CDMA phones of all time was the Moto E815..i dont think there is anything Verizon has now than can still pull in a signal like that phone.))

That being said.
Every Samsung and LG I have ever owned never gave me that "solid" phone feeling. Earpiece quality was always lacking and ringtone/message volumes have always been low. (Save the LGVX7000-8300).

My ratings are.

1. Nokia
2. Motorola
3. Sony Ericsson
4. LG
5. Samsung

It maybe better then its original CDMA version from Verizon, and it may have better reception then the BlackJack that is for sure, but as everything else, hmm!! Not sure..
