How often do you get Cell Phones? - Tyler - September 15th, 2013

I have only had one phone in my life and it is basically a hand me down from 2004.

It still works? It must be a pretty tough phone.

When ever my old one breaks. I don't have hundreds of dollars to hand out like others seem to and get one every couple of months.

Same as spork. If it stops working/falls apart I get a new one.

I don't get them often. On the other hand, for tablets, I get 'em when I see something I like. A phone can be used for cellphone calls and I'm perfectly happy with the one that I'm currently using. I prefer tablets because they have larger screens and of course, they're portable.
The last smartphone I got was a BlackBerry Torch. BlackBerry was "the thing" around here back in the day and everyone was crazy about BBM, so I decided to get myself a BlackBerry. I wanted to upgrade to the Samsung Galaxy S4 this year, but I had a change of heart last minute.

The iPhone 5 isn't a bad phone if you're okay with the price tag.

I would say between 1.5 to 3 years. My current phone is about 2.5 years. I am waiting for the next Nexus 4.

My phones usually are lucky to last 2 years. I use cell phones so much that they get worn out more quickly than they should.
It does seem that newer ones are being built to last longer though.

I'd follow spork, but if I really need a new feature, I might buy one every couple of months. My current one is 6 months old.

Once every 2 years

I'm going to be honest, I use a cell phone until it doesn't work and I can't fix it anymore... as a side effect mine usually over time end up picking up extra parts and stuff to compensate... think of it like a lost ship which has to install alien technology it finds along the way to get home, yeah the ships retired but it's a ghost of it's original self.
