does brand and model really matters?

i think it doesnt matter what the brand is, as long the thing serve its purpose there is no reason to buy a latest model.....comfort and convenience matters.....

no no never should a person be judged from the technology he/she uses.a man must be judge according to his/her personality traits.wealth money and technology go on changing virtues are virues. good traits in a person are worth being praised and counted on.

Phone manufacturers don't make a lot of money out of me! My mob is steam driven it is so old. haha But my son and daughter change their mobiles like I change my socks! 'What is wrong with it?' I say. 'Oh Dad, you don't understand' is the reply. haha The one big thing I would change for is extended battery life - the modern ones are so much better. But brand and model? No, I don't mind so long as it works.

With the current number of cell phone manufacturers and model, so does peoples' preferences are. It really depends on the individual on what brand/model he/she was exposed to and in there are also the fact that this particular phone is more common than the others and it does influence some other people to buy it. On the other hand, just like me , I've just gotten used to the brand of my phone and I have no plans on changing it for now. I do see lots of phone other phone brands from my friends. But I don't see myself being influenced in buying a new one. Oh, and my phone right now I think is for keeps it has all the things I need on a phone. Take care!

I hardly change my phone at all. I've only changed my phone once because of the phone not working and I got a new phone (razr v9) for free. However i still use both phones. I think the idea of having the latest phones like how people are lining up on the streets to be the first to get the apple iphone has a little bit to do with social status. As most of them would know that waiting longer to get the phone would mean a lot less it would cost but they still want to buy it when it is the most expensive.

this is may sound true to others butnot for me...i have lots of friends who earn really good but are satisfied with thier old model cellphone which dont have even a camera...but mostly these are married individual few are single...that could be the reason becoz they have differnt priorities in life unlike being single.
