Got my first smartphone this year, won't be getting another for a long time. I'm looking to send this one away for the waterproof nano coating that has been shown at gadget shows because I intend to keep it long enough to be worth the cost.
My phone is mainly for phoning, I know novel idea, with some photos taken here and there... got a tablet for games and news apps. Thanks to my frugal use of the battery it lasts a week on one charge
I normally upgrade every 3 or 4 years, only ever had 3 phones so far. My first was a SE T230 that lasted 4 years, then got a SE W902 which again lasted me 4 years (up to 2011), and in the winter holiday of 2011 I bought a Galaxy S2. So following this pattern I guess the Galaxy S6 will be my next phone
s2 - s3 is all i've done in the way of smart phones.
Can you upgrade a phone? you can replace it.
Anyway I try for at least 2 years before getting a new 1
kada 2 taon ako kung magpalit ng phone.. hindi naman ako masyadong gumagamit nun e.. mas gamit ko pa din yung PC ko.. yung smartphone ko ginagamit ko lng pangtawag at pang text
that requires you to have a smartphone in the first place, I don't own one
Right now it's 3 years before I start looking for a replacement. I think a £500 investment should last at least that long. At the end of this contract I am planning to switch my buying habits by getting a sim only contract and then buying the handsets outright.

I have a dumb tracphone I threw 3 years of service and 8k minutes on for $200. I'm a year into the contract and have 6k minutes left, so my annual phone bill is $60, and less than what most people pay monthly.
If I ever needed mobile internet, I'd get a 4g hotspot. If I ever wanted a PC on the go, I'd take my Nexus 7 in my pocket, it fits.
Bought my first smartphone in March 2012 - Galaxy S1 on Ebay. Switched from Orange to GiffGaff and now pay just £10 a month which suits me nicely.
Got Cyanogenmod installed so have Android 4.1 running on it. Does everything I need.
I may consider upgrading it next year. But for now I'm quite happy with it.
Dem pink phones are smart though eh manNever, well not intentionally. I get my gf's hand me downs
Old puter - still good enuff till I save some pennies!
My upgrades are definitely less frequent since I got the iPhone 2G (which I kept until the Galaxy S3). Prior to that, I went through a short phase of upgrading every year (to whatever is best at the time of contract renewal). Though sometime I just sold the upgrade. Well, I am not really someone who need the latest or shiniest phone, and since I am not a huge fan of mobile phone games, existing hardware is plenty fast for web and communication apps - which is all I really need.
I upgrade mine every 24 months when my contact allows.
Wish I could get a new BlackBerry Q10 just now but have to wait another 6 months
I upgrade about ever 3 years, sooner if something major has changed in that time.
the only smart phones I have had are a first Gen iPhone and I upgraded from that to a Desire HD, I have had that for over 2 years now. So not very often.

If I had to drop a feature from my smartphones, it would be the phone!
My first phone contract was 18 months, and I upgraded at the end of it, but that was also my jump from WinMo 6.1 to Android. I then had my HTC Desire for 2 years. Although I had the option to upgrade slightly early, I had to wait until the bitter end becuase I wanted to ditch O2. I now have a Galaxy S3, I expect I will upgrade when this contract is over, but it will depend on whats available... Who am I kidding, new phones are shiny, I'll be upgrading almost as soon as Vodafone let me.
You don't 'upgrade' your phone when you are on contract. You have finished paying monthly for the first one so they sell you another one which you carry on paying monthly for. I will not buy a new one until my old one goes faulty.I have never had a contract.Never will. Biggest con ever devised (next to similar contracts where you 'buy' a car, pay monthly, then at the end of the contract 'buy' another.). These are devised to tie you in so that it is difficult to leave without you seemingly losing out.
