How often do you change your mobile phone?

Just a survey.

How often do you guys and girls change your phone?

Even for those people that own a few phones at once, please state. LOL.

I'm interested to know well, because it's quite a norm these days to do it, don't you all think?

Please vote.

Thanks.

LOL!! Unfortunately, I'm so broke I cannot afford to change phones all the time.

I used to change about once a year, but looking at my current situation, this Nokia 6070 is the first upgrade in 2 years.

p/s: forgot the most important factor: if and only if i have the gold

i wanted to put an option something like that.
but that could mean anything. it's like if i want to change, i'll change. lol.

LOL!! It's the truth!!

I've been living with the V600 for so long even though I hate it. Motorola phones are really all looks and no substance.

LoL... I've never changed my phone before...

Feel that is time to change after 2 years. Now technology out and i need it so it is almost 2 years once

2-3 years for me. I had a classmate who literally changed whenever there was a new model released...at one point he had tried every Nokia phone on the market

2 years for me, unless I'm very unsatisfied with my current phone. And I don't like to buy a phone everyone has it. K750 was when I bought it...
