We know, we know, it may be difficult to understand how companies that lock you in the moment you decide on a phone / plan — only to be about as helpful as a bottomless bucket the moment turmoil arises — could be hated. Nevertheless, we can’t say we’re shocked at all to hear that cellphone providers are among the least liked in all of the service industries. In a recent report released by the Consumer Reports National Research Center, it was found that “fewer than half of respondents were completely or very satisfied with their cellphone service,” and sadly, that’s hardly different than in years past. Among the biggest gripes were high prices and mandatory contract extensions, and while pro-rated ETFs are fine and dandy, there’s still a few less notable carriers that haven’t swallowed that pill just yet. As for internal rankings, Verizon and Alltel each scored higher than the rest, and Sprint was found bringing up the rear.

Office Depot Featured Gadget: Xbox 360 Platinum System Packs the power to bring games to life!

Okay, we understand that the newest iPods have locked video-out, so we’ll ignore the fact that the Polaroid DPJ-08580B portable DVD player with iPod dock only works with 5G models, but there’s no excuse for the rest of the specs — especially stretching 480 x 234 resolution across an 8.5-inch screen. Top it off with the usual overwrought portable DVD player design and a ¥28000 ($252) pricetag, and you’ve got a nice little bundle of fail just waiting to be put under the tree.
