One in seven new cell phones are faulty study shows

By

An estimated two million of the 18 million mobiles sold last year in the UK could have been faulty, but that doesn’t suprise us at all! Heck, two million faulty phones seems like a good number to us. I had to replace my Motorola V600 four times in a year and my new Treo 650 is hardly what I would call bug free!

The survey of more than 5,000 people on Which?’s online consumer panel also found that certain handset brands were more likely to experience faults than others. Motorola and Sony Ericsson handsets proved most likely to have technical hitches, with 20% of people reporting problems with them. Nokia and Samsung scored better, with one in 10 owners experiencing faults.
