I don't often buy a new cellphone. I am very pleased to the cellphone I bought last year. I pay attention to its function rather than the look. I have no plans to buy a new one. I don't want to waste money in this aspect. I love china

nice to see u again,youless~ Guess you are still active here all the time. well, i am not kind of person who chase every new fashion electronic products such as iphones 4, but will wait until its not that hot and the price will cut down a little bit. it depends on what u want and when do u want to have it. or i pay attention to both function and fashion style of cellphone. so not surprised to know me that i will change my cellphone as soon as i realise its time to have a new cellphone. lol.. have a nice day~

I change my phones every year even though my upgrade is not even due (because I am on a two year contract). I tend to change my phone because I always want to have the latest phone before any of my family or friend's.

I usually buy a new phone when I break the one I'm using at the moment. Because of change in position at my work, I bought a blackberry bold 9700 & after having it for little over 3 month, I lost it at the beach. I went few month with motorola phone I bought on ebay & when I saved enough money, I bought another blackberry. But that's very unsual for me. Like I was saying, I needed a blackberry for my work & that's why I went out & bought another one. Otherwise, I would've been happy with simple phone. I don't buy phone because I wanna have a new one, I buy a phone based on what I need to do at the moment.

The only time that i change my phone is when it has gone wrong.I find that there are alot of people that tend to like change their phone when there is a newer type of phone out.I think that there are people that tend to have a phone until it breaks aswell until they get a new one.

I usually change my phone every year or every two years... If I end up having a good relationship with my phone (meaning it can do its job well), I usually only change it after two years, when it can't perform all the things I need anymore. This October though, I am wishing I had a lot of money to buy two phones: HTC Desire HD and HTC Desire Z. I really, really wish I could buy both...

For me buying cell phone would depend if you have a particular features looking for. On my point of view, I'm content with a simple cellphone that could send and receive calls and text messages. Maybe in the future if I would have enough buying power I will pursue to buy new mobile phone. Just a reminder for the people who use to change cell phone regulary.. I hope you're not wasting your recent cellphone(s) so you are keeping the eco-friendly campaign going on around us.

I only change my cellphone every two years. I wait until my phone plan expires and then I get the free phone that comes with renewing my plan. My cellphone isn't that important to me. I only use it to make calls. I don't use texting or anything like that. I like getting the phone for free! Although, I am starting to wish I had as smartphone because some of the apps that are available are just really cool!

I've only had two cellphones and both were given to me. I hate talking on the telephone, so I only use mine for emergencies or if I need to ask someone in the family a quick question, otherwise, it stays off.

I usually get my cell phones on a post-paid agreement which usually last two years. It works out quite well for me because by the time my contract is up a new model of my favourite phone is available and I can upgrade. I am not too bothered with the latest hi tech applications as long as I like the phone!

well..bro, the case is not same here.. i dont buy without any particular use... i only buy phone or any other device when the current phone doesnt give me the most important features which i need..... i dont know how it feels when the phone is outdated, because i have been loosing my phones when they reach their anniversary.. :D
