how often do you upgrade your CELL PHONE?

I guess I dropped mine one too many times, it's barely working. I feel like I just got this piece of shit... okay, like 2 years ago neutral

But I'm not one of those "phone people" who want the latest, hottest, ohh look @ my phone!!! ill I just want the shit to work & not be too damn ugly, which everything @ TMobile is right now:




This one is SWEET (slider makes SO much sense when you only have one hand free!) but it's way too expensive @ $299:






& generally I HATE flip phones mad EXCEPT for this one:



It's pink & love it! mushy But $175???? DAMN!!! sad



Am I cheap? How often do you upgrade your cell phone? hmmm

And what's this "Bluetooth" shit all about? confused Is that some Blackberry lingo or something? Wireless lingo? I don't have none of that shit neutral

never. all i want is something small and cheap that comes in handy for phone calls when i need it. if i want a camera, i'll get a camera. if i want to check my e-mail, i have a laptop for that. i have a pay-as-you-go hobo phone that i bought for $40 and i've never needed anything more for the past couple of years.

about $200. with a two-year contract. and i'm not sure i want to stay with sprint. but in this area the only other choices are alltel and cellularone. cellone sucks (i've had them before) and alltel has crappy phones. so i don't know what i'm going to do.

I just bought one of these



I initially upgraded my phone at Sprint back in June, but the model they sold me had actually been out for several years, and they discontinued it like a week after I bought it.

So I had to drop anothere $320 for this one, but I love it so far. I hated walking around with a big lump in my pocket from the other cell phones I had, this one slides right into my shirt pocket and you cant even see it.

The screen is really big and sharp too. It's basically a ripoff of the Razr, but it has a few more features tossed in (you can use it as a wireless modem, for example...)

Why when your plan expires? Do you get a better deal or something?

The dude @ the store told me I'd get a better deal in 3 months but I'm not sure I can wait. What's the point of having a phone if it's not working half the time mad

Three months? You know...I guess I never looked in to it. I guess it's possible to get a phone before the plan expires.... hmmm I thought that that was the only time I could do it..... I need to check this out.... lol nod

No, you can do it whenever BUT to get a better deal than the retail price of the phone they'll take more $ off if you resign for a year or more. Basically it's like starting your plan over to get that discount.

I usually upgrade mine when my contract is over because you get a free new one when you renew. I don't need anything fancy, I just like something small and with a tip calculator!!! I could care less about games and going online with them and all that.

I want a white phone and might get this one soon.



I also love this red one, but its only available on Vodaphone and i'm not with them and it's expensive, so I'm sticking with the white one.

Only when I renew my contract. There's too expensive otherwise. I was strictly Nokia for the last four years and now I have an LG VX6100. If they're still making Razrs when my plan expires next year, I'm getting a black one.
