Are you one of those people who has to always get the latest cell phone and

No I am definitely not one of those people who camps out in order to obtain the latest device. I couldn't care less what phone or other gadget I have, as long as it works and does what I need it to, I really don't mind! There are so many different things to chose from that I can't keep up either! I think we live in such consumer driven societies nowadays that some people feel they are judged on what technology or gadgets they posesss, and feel they have to keep up with their peers. Sad, I'd rather be remebered by my friends for being myself, rather than the make or model of my phone!

Though I am always short of money for buying expensive cell phones but I love to have new and latest mobile phones. Yesterday Sony Ericsson Xperia Arc was announced and I am in love with it. It haven't been launched till now but I desire to get it as soon as I am able to manage money for it. I just can't stop myself from getting new and stylish phones. And yes non-touch phones are more durable, especially candybar phones as they usually don't have any moving or mechanical part. But touch screens are also of two types. Resistive and capacitive. Capacitive touch screens are costlier and are more durable so expensive phones are more durable. Nowadays gorilla glass technology is also becoming popular for touch phones. It makes the screen much tougher and scratch resistant.

No I'm one of those people who got a free phone after I dropped my last one one-too-many times. Lol I'm too poor to follow fads.

No, I am not. I have a Blackberry Curve 8520 that I got in July 2010 and i am satisfied with that one. But I do knw people who have t have the lastest phone to keep up with the trend. For instance everytime a new touch screen phoe comes out they just got to have it even if they only had their current phone for only a fe months. I got my phone for free with a new contract and at the price phones cost today I believe I will be keeping the phone I have.

I have got friends who change their mobiles as one changes their clothes!They're damn crazy about mobiles.They go for the latest mobile released this month...sell it in the same shop in a month's time and get hold of new one!As of my interest..Touch screens are cool to carry around.I would go for new ones every year...may be two if i'm in love with the handset.great day.

I'm not really the type of person who camps out the night before a store sells a brand new phone. In fact, I'm not really the type of person who has to have the latest phones. I have a Sony Ericsson G705 right now. The only things I do with it is make calls, send text messages and surf the web because it's Wi-fi capable. I really don't want to have super techie phones which can do almost anything. I don't like going with fads because I only want to be practical. I can't even afford a Blackberry nor an iPhone.

I don't, just the basics. I don't need all the bells and whistles.

Its the time which decides which mobile to be used. My friends often keep using the new mobile wherein I prefer to keep the old mobile which has been trust worthy. I generally dont prefer to go for new mobiles.

i wouldn't never do it for new cell or games. i would wait for awhile. me staying out all night for something wouldnt happen

I am not one who is worried about having the newest cell-phone at all. I actually use a pre-paid cell phone because for me, it is a lot cheaper than it would be to have a contract phone. The particular company that I use only has a few phone models to choose from in my area, and none of those phones are the newest ones on the market. I think that I currently have the newest one available, and it is a slider phone. I honestly think that the flip phone I had before was a bit better in that I didn't have to worry about pushing buttons on it when it is in my pocket.

No i am least bother about it.I am not that much mad about cell phones and other accessories.

Hi little franciscan: I don't think so. Actually my cell phone is just an old one but I like it because it's functionally. I have a goo Sony Ericsson cell phone but I only use it for special occassions. I like new cell phones but I won't buy a cell phone if it's too expensive. ALVARO

I have a Blackberry and I think they're still the phone to have. I don't care if I have the newest Blackberry. They're all practical. I don't really like the iPhone, it's too big for me, and touchscreen phones are a pain.

Camp out? I think sleep is more important. Will the first piece of the phone come with unlimited free trade-in? I guess some people camp out because if it is a hot property, they want to gain publicity (eg. First person to hold the iPhone 4, etc) or their boyfriend, and especially girlfriend, made them do it. I rather have enough rest. As for types of phones, I like those with touch screen. It makes the phone looks cool. But I need to qualify I hold one with buttons with a small touchscreen, candy bar type. I have used so many kinds of phone, but I look at the functions more than its form, provided it is not ugly. Trust me, some are. Well, If one is rich, who would mind not having the latest? Change every few weeks with all the touch pads coming out. Do I intend to keep up? Let me look for a sponsor first. LOL.

i too love to buy the latest if i can afford it. but the last phone i bought was 4 months ago which is a touch screen phone. i think i love the touchscreen. cause it is easier to surf the net on my phone if it is a touch screen phone. and i love the bigger screen. though my phone is quite bulky. but the more slimmer phone with same specs has a higher value. and so i have to settle with quite bulky phone. i love reading reviews about the latest mobile phones. since i can not afford one , i just read about their reviews. so that in case i got the money to buy one again i would have an idea which i would like to buy. so i don't need to make research again. anyways, my phone is nokia 5230. there is many cheap phone now with better look and cheaper price but made in china. but still branded phone but with less specs. mine has 3g. but the cheap touch screen with slimmer build and better look is half the price. but i have heard they work well too only that they don't have 3g but gprs only. but i am quite happy already with my phone. i have tried iphone. i don't like it actually for some reason. i don't know. my brother owns one. and i checked it out. it is quite more expensive. just don't like it. though it is quite fast. but i was not able to try the internet on his phone cause he is under mobile contract on company on another country. he was just back in our country for a visit. so he can't use the phone in my place. i just checked out he videos and pictures and i can't try using the internet. he said though it is wifi he will be charged with roaming charges if he used the internet. but in his country he won't be charged using wifi feature.

No. I am not rich and I don't have money to buy latest cellphone or any electronics gadget that is in..

I do like to have the newest phone, but I have never camped out, nor will I ever do that, as that is just crazy. The phone I have now, I purchased in October and I really do like it. I bought an extra battery for it, and a good caSe as well, so I do intend to use it for awhile. It is a smartphone, and has lots of features, and I can even post to mylot from it. That is one of the reasons I bought it in the first place, and because it has a fast processor. Now, it doesn't have full flash, but I am not worried about that at this time, as it is coming,and then it will be a better phone. My phone does have a touch screen, and it has the Android OS, and I really do like the android, and I think I will stick with it. Now, when it comes to the newere phones, to buy one every time they come out, would be insane, as they get new phones quite often. I usually upgrade once every year, but now that Verizon has changed their policy, I will have to wait a little longer, but that is okay, as I like my phone anyway. Take care, and have a very good day.

Hello littlefranciscan, Um, lets just say i am very interested in the latest gadgets but i have no intention of buying them like that. I use my cell phones for years, but i still keep myself updating with the latest handsets. And, FYI i hate iphone and ipods. There are really not worth their price, just a fancy little thing that looks good from the outside but is really hollow the inside out. Iphones could not multitask, has voice quality issues due to the antenna issue and list continues. The only best part there is for the iphone is that it has the best touch experience and there are a hell lot of apps for the phone. I need a lot more than just these. I hate the audio quality of the ipod touch too, just so disappointing. I am a modest audiophile and i have no space for any sort of ipod, completely worthless for the amount we need to pay for them, can't even change the battery on the iphone, crap. Anyways, lets not get into these worthless things. I like the HTC and blackberries much more, and yes, despite me having a nokia touchscreen now, i really do prefer hard button full qwerty phones as they are much more convenient to use. I don't buy cell phones often, even though i have bought 4 phones up till now. I use them till they last, and when they wear off, i buy myself a new middle segment phone, not the high end phones, i don't really want to waste much on my phone. I could get more call hours saving money on the phones. Good day.

I just want to have a cell phone that i can be happy with. It doesn't have to have the latest gadgets and features to please me. i don't have to have the latest trend that everyone else has. I just have to have what pleases my needs.

Nope and dang proud of it too. Keeping up with cellphone trend is just impractical in my opinion. I still use my Nokia 6020 going on seven years now. I would probably still have my Nokia 3310 if my brother had not given me the 6020. :)
