Probably the Storm1 of the two, it should have been what the Storm2 is. 9630 is solid, just production issues. RIM should never have allowed the production issues to happen. When paying a premium for a phone it should hold up like a premium phone.
RIM should have never released the Bold 9000. Or more to the point, they never
should have (and never should again) release a device with that horrid form factor.
Lol why are some people disliking the bold 9000? It was a great device imo. Very customizable too! . Out of all the phones, the storm 1 would be the bad one

Because despite the fantastic keyboard it was a huge brick-like monstrosity.
I have to go with the Tour. It's a phone that just never should have happened. Not because I think it was a total piece though; just because there just plain never should have been that model line.
As for the Storm1, I don't think releasing it was a mistake so much as the timing of the release. They should have tested it longer and made sure it was ready. Overall though I think it was a good phone to release because RIM needed a first touch screen and they needed to learn from it, which is what brought us to the S2. And really, the S1 was a pretty good device once they got the OS sorted out. I actually think the S1 may have a better OS than the S2 now...lol!
The 8520 is the device RIM should never have released. I mean seriously in this day an age a brand new mobile that doesn't do 3G.
I know so many people who've got/had the 8520 that have been put off Blackberry altogether because it's so slow and limited to GPRS/EDGE and because of it's awful camera.
How was it a huge brick monstrosity? Mine was perfectly fine.

You have to understand people have different preferences. I think the 9000 was the best BB ever made. I want a refresh of the 9000 if it is ever made.
But back to the original question, I think the Storm should have never been made. In my opinion it is a horrible excuse for a touchscreen device. The 9630 probably should have never been made, but the 9700 shouldn't have been made either. The 9780 should have been the 9700. Refreshed you can see coming a year ahead of time (Same with the majority of RIM devices though, release half of the product one year, and then make it what it should have been the next).
And really, the S1 was a pretty good device once they got the OS sorted out. I actually think the S1 may have a better OS than the S2 now...lol!
+1 I've said this same thing myself, Storm with 5.0.0.419 (the last OS I installed on Storm) was rock solid. Storm2 on the other hand: one crappy OS after another. I haven't tried the 5.0.0.1015, but I doubt much has changed.
