I was having a cellphone for the past 5 years ..(I think it has been a long period)..Three days before I had problems in the display.So I thought of buying a new one. And today, I recieved my new cellphone..My partner gifted me it as the new year present for me(too early..right?)..This is my second cellphone and hope to have for 5 more years..How many cell phones did you have before owning the current one?

Wishing you many years of happiness with your new cellphone my friend! Since I owned my first mobile in 1999 I have owned four phones in total! They tend to last on me as I only really use them for emergencies and for texting, one of which was actually stolen from the gym! Every single phone has been a Nokia model as they are user friendly and I love Nokia and wouldn't use any other make now. It's only a basic one with a camera but it has everything I need in a phone.

I had to start from scratch with my contacts, the worst bit was losing all my photos I had got on the phone! I have dropped my Nokia a few times and it still works! They are quite durable and reliable.

Thanks a lot for your wishes my friend..I have also heard that Nokia is more reliable. Is it true that Nokia mobiles do not break even if they fall down? And loosing a mobile is a very sad one..Was it not difficult for you to collect all the contacts again after you lost your mobile?

Oh..You have your 5th cellphone? Do you purchase new cellphone for want of the updated features or because your previous cellphone is damaged?

I have a very basic phone, just text and make phone calls. I have had it five years and I can't see myself getting a new one until it breaks. Party due to the money and also it took me ages to learn how to work it. I used to take it out with me ccos hubby insisted and I used to say I can't see the point as I don't know how to use it. I just don't do tech things

Just like you, I also use cellphones just for making calls and texting..I'm also not that much interested to buy new tech gadgets..I have seen people who buy cellphones whenever there is something new in the market. But I never prefer to update my phone..

The current phone is my first cell phone and I am using it for past 4 years. It is a nokia black and white cell phone and I am very much comfortable and happy in using my first cell phone. Still now I have no idea of changing it,,,,,

I just wish i did not sell it...
