    I don't have one, never have had one either and don't plan on getting one. Besides, they don't work out where I live, so there's no real reason to even think about it.

    Where do you live? :eh:

    Quite interesting to see the most popular response, I'd have thought most people would change their phones quite often. :p

    It's been a long time since I actually payed for a phone, many, many years ago, but that didn't stop me from going through a few... ;)

    Of course, that means that all my phones were old/outdated/cheap stuff... :oops: :haha:

    Currently have been using a Nokia 6100 for a few months, which again I didn't pay for... :shifty:

    I've had three cell phones since I got my first one in 1997.
    - That first was some Ericsson model my sister had discarded, and within a year it was broken. (One of the keys didn't work.)
    - Then I bought the cheapest phone I could get without tying up to some specific operator, and that was a Siemens something.
    That one also had a key give up, in late november '01.
    - So I bought another cheap Siemens, S45 I think, which is still going strong and I have no intention to replace it.

    I live way out in the country in the mid west, there has been one cell phone company that put up a tower this year so folks can get a signal and service if they have a phone, but the service is shakey at best. It's pretty funny to see people standing out in the road during bad weather so they can get a signal to make a silly phone call.
    This is also why I have satellite internet, there is nothing else out here except for dial-up...................:naughty:

    Been there, done that as well, back up in the mountains of Colorado................;)
    The farther back in the country away from people the better..........:)
    The internet is the only contact I have with people these days, and it's pretty nice that way.

    I only got a mobile phone last year and that because my wife made me get one.
    At that its a crappy second hand one.
    Mobile phones actually give me the "tom tits'(shits)
    IMHO mobiles are the source of rudeness from heaps of people,
    As a nurse in a ER I have had people answer their phones during interviews and examinations, usually whilst sitting under a no phone sign.:evil:

    4 phones (including the current one) for the past 7 years. that makes it an average of 2 years per phone. But only change them when the previous one decided to 'die' one me.

    Yeah phones should be used only 4 talking but now-a-days many people just buy premium phones just to show off.In my opinion if u r buying a 2/3 MP camera phone by paying a hefty premium only to take picture,why r not u buying a Digicam for that coz that will serve the task much better than the Mobile camera.I'm happy with my Sony Ericsson S700i & no plans to change it unless it gets stolen or spoilt.

    It's for convenience...I don't know about you but I would rather carry a phone around that can play music + take pictures, instead of carrying a basic phone plus a DAP and a camera.
    Of course the quality will not be as good as a standalone camera (or DAP) but its a trade-off and you have the benefit of having that capability wherever you go (as long as the phone is with you).
