with the never ending upgrades and improvised features of cellular and mobile phones, i its apparent that people immediately buy the latest and replace their old ones.. how long do u really replace your cellphones? im pertaining the question especially to filipinos where the market of cellphones is alarmingly high despite the poverty rates and various money problems. u can see that from other countries, any model would do as long as it can be used for calling and communicating somebody in just a short period of time.

well, you can't blame other people if they want to be "in" with technology. I think the cellular phone manufacturers are also abusing this because they change their models like they change their clothes.

I don't believe in upgrading unless it's absolutely necessary!!! I use a phone until it is no longer useable, and then I buy a new one. I am not going to upgrade something just because it is new. I am not interested in spending that kind of money, if the product I am using still works.
