You must mean "...phone
ever made."

The W960i was my first UIQ phone (and first SE phone ever). I must say it was a disappointment. It looked so nice in the press photos but in real life it wasn't as nice, no where near actually. The keypad back light was very annoying and the plastic didn't feel as good as it should have (for the price). A jog dial driven interface with the back button on the front... hmm, one handed use out the window, and what about the stylus.... don't go there!
I actually grew to like the OS itself but the phone would crash/freeze daily, and I mean daily, hence was too unreliable to use as it intended, a mobile telephone. I even put the Generic World firmware on it, and still no improvement. Now I could have just bought a lemon but reflash after reflash, not to mention changing to GW firmware didn't improve it so I don't believe it was only my model that was sub par. Even if, you can't excuse the physical/hardware faults and how they add to the poor implementation of this phone.
I got sick of it and sold it.... but something in me told me to try the P1i. So I bought that and it restored my faith!! It didn't suffer any of the issues that the W960i did. It was built well, out of good materials and never froze/reset itself. Since then, I have also added the G700 and G900 to my collection. I think UIQ is great and am disappointed that it died. I wouldn't recommend the W960i to anyone, but the G700, G900 or P1i, I would not hesitate one bit!
