Imagine almost all the people around this world.. updating or upgrading into a new handset everytime something new is released. How many phones do you think gets manufactured everyday just to serve these population boom and make more money. I'm guilty myself, I do often upgrade and change my cellular phone every year, or depending on my mood. Though I'm really trying harder to eliminate this bad habit of mine because it costs a lot of money than the usual to do such thing as buying a new one from time to time. That's why right now, I bought one just to serve its purpose but still has that good looks that makes your hands glow with it. Lol. You? How often do you change or upgrade your cell phones?

Yes - i think most people are mad! Or made of money! I do not see the point of changing any product unless it has reached the end of its useful life. I guess my phones have lasted around 5 years on average before they fall apart. I can see no reason to change - i do not want a phone with a camera, radio, ipod, video, rcecorder, television etc. i just want a phone that is able to make and receive calls in good quality and reasonable volume wherever I am - it is a shame that none of them seem able to even do that whilst pursuing miscellaneous irrelvant features! Save the planet by NOT replacing products every time a new model comes out!

i upgrade my phone every year or so, sometimes longer. I had the razor for a year then go the blackberry curve for almost 2 years before switching to the iphone 3g. I think i will stick with the iphone for long because its the one phone i have been satisfied with the most.. however if or when they make the next iphone i will upgrade if its worth it..
