Recently,I change my mobile phone for following trend of 3G time.The former phone I used is MOTO which has a good quality.I nearly do have any problem wiht it. But as development of the science and technology,the 3G time is coming in China.so the moto doesn't satified my asperation,and I decide to change a mostest style cell at prensent for my salary of a month. Although,the price of my phone is quite expensive,but I basically content with it fuction for chating with friends with friends and surfing the internet and watching the movie on the net etc.It also is an intellectual phone,so I can download the software to upgrade it and the games for playing.

I will use my cell phone until it has some problem. However, normally the quality of cell phone are so good that it take several years to get some problem with it. I also want to talk something about the the new trend and fashion of personal digital product. It's the rule that at the beginning of something newly come to the word, the related productsa are always so expensive. But the price reduction of digital product are so quick. And someother things, even though my cell phone have this kind of function,like surfing on the internet,or chat with friends,or check e-mail,however, I think i won't use these funtion after 1 week later. The size of the cell phone screen is limited and it's really hard to do the things which should be done on pcs.

Very good point, I do use most of the features like surfing, chat, mail, etc, but that depends on personal needs. Most phones have features we never use, my phone supports video streaming for example, never used it and don't think I ever will. But regarding the price reduction, surely, if you can don't buy it when it's released, wait, be patient.

I try to keep my cell phone for as long as possible. I have a couple of cell phones but the one I love most and which is about 7 years old is a very simple to use Nokia. I always know if I have missed a call or a message because it has coloured lights on the side which will flash until I respond. It is really very basic but very user friendly and I dislike having to learn about new technology so hopefully this phone will last forever.

No, I change my phone when the old one fails me. No new models will ever get me to pay as long as the old one serves me well. I am not a phone fashionista. I never intend to be, will never be one and as such I will never start on this path ever!

I try to keep my phone "alive" as long as possible. I have two phones now, both of which are of the Sony Ericsson brand. I've had 2 phones stolen in the past and I try to take care of my phones more now. I basically look for the features of a phone that includes a radio or music player, a cam, and most importantly, call and text!

I will only change if there is a need. Like for example, the old phone is spoiled.

I just graduated from college..I dn't have any permanent work and dn't have enough money to change my phone. Perhaps, later on when I have work already I will consider buying a new one with great features.

bah! don't care for phone nemore, unlike before, I'm kinda obsess with it, want to buy the newest and coolest one. but now as long as I can use it properly, I'm happy with it. I can change phone from time to time, IF I have extra cash. hehehe.. There's a lot of things I wanted to buy, so why do I have to waste my extra cash on new phone, maybe I'll buy something worthy or something that I don't have before ^_~ Happy mylotting..

I have changed only three cell phones since I have been started to use cell phone. I am not someone who is after latest models but I will take only simple one for simple tasks. Now the three mobiles were/are gifted to me and I don't think I will purchase a mobile in some one year too.

I believe they can if they take all precautions and all necessary stuffs to be healthy and sexy at the age of even 40. I have my aunt who is very sexy though she is above 45 and she says age is not the difference but the way of living is very important.

I have changed my mobile phone third times since 2000, about used 3 years per phone. Surely every new phone is bought with expensive cost, now i am useing NOKIA intellectual phone. The development of electric products is very rapid, so we need not catch the prevalent step, pay attention to what you want and select the most suitable one. that's my point, thanks~

I change my mobile phone yearly but it isn't because I want to but because I need to. The past mobile phones I use last for about a year therefore I need a replacement for it. Today, I'm taking good care of my phone and hope it last more than a year:)

I'm only using my cellphone for sending sms and calling so it's not necessary for me to have the newest phone. I got my first phone 6 years ago, I had that one for 4 years and switched to another phone. I still have that phone, but the speaker is broken so I need to buy a new one soon.

I don´t change my cell phone very often. I bought my first cell phone in 2004. And I have had three cells since then. Obviously, there is a reason for doing so, and it has nothing to do with stinginess but laziness. I reckon that the time you spend learning how to use your cellphone is time you don´t spend doing something really interesting. In my opinion, a cell should be used to make phonecalls. If you want to take photos, there are cameras; if you want to surf the web, there are computers. Ok, at present I have a LG ZU990 (viewty). It´s a 3G cell...but it was a present of my girlfriend in my last birthday! And laziness is one thing, but love is a horse of different colour, hahaha.

Hi victory Waw! Seems like you're a high-tech and love new gadget.. For me, I rarely change my cell phone, but once I buy it, I buy the one with the latest technology, so it can fit my needs until the next 3 years,,hehehe.. But you're right, we need to stay update and buy things based on our needs, to make us easier in communicate with friends through chat, etc. Congratz for your new phone!

I also recently changed my phone to a 3G. Frankly speaking I don,t see much difference. I can still access the net with my old nokia at almost the same speed. I don't watch moves on my phone as I feel abit akward. I feel I am not utilising this phone to the maximum but the phone serves me fine. It is expensive to change phones often especially if you do not use all the functions.

Well, I would say I am not a big fan of changing cell phones often because first, we are not that rich for me to spend money in cell phones. Second, I am not a frequent cell phone user so it's just okay for me to have any model. My cell phone now is Sony Ericsson. I don't know the unit but my friends say it is an old model already. I only use cell phone for important businesses like communicating with my friends and family.

I get rather attached to my possessions and the same goes for my cell phone. My first one was a CECT from 3 years ago. Only last month did I change it for a Nokia 5130 ExpressMusic. The fact that I an use an ordinary earphone and listen to good quality music is why I've changed my cell at all. Else I probably wouldn't have. Then again, cells are rather expensive in my country, so changing phones is not an option for me.
