This is a question Crap Gadgets

We wanted a monkey butler and bought one off eBay. Imagine our surprise when we found it was just an ordinary monkey with rabies. Worse: It had no butler training at all. Tell us about your duff technology purchases.

Thanks to Moonbadger for the suggestion

A mini 'iphone'
Buying one of these would have been bad enough. The fact that I bought one from my then girlfriend's mother after she had bought it in Thailand. We split up soon after that, the ex had bought one as well but swiftly sold it on ebay. I spent £100 on it (the mini iphone that is) so decided to give it a bash for a month.

They do look like what a mini iphone would look like, if such a device existed. As the screen is pretty small you require a stylus to navigate through the options. A little annoying but with determination and patience I was able to go into my phonebook and call someone. Texting required for me to be doing nothing else, and was impossible after 2-3 pints without me crying in frustation and my mates rolling about the place at my troubles.

The best thing about it was the 2 sim card slots, they both worked. This is over 2 years ago so I was reasonably impressed. Anyway, it didn't matter as soon after it died and only switched on every 5th attempt. Should have sold it on ebay straight away, the bitch of an ex actually made a profit! It was a scam.
