Tech How often do you get a new phone?

[pwarbi]

When I was younger I always wanted to try and keep up with technology, and almost every time a new device came out I would buy it, but now I'm a lot more sensible! It doesn't help that a few years ago phones used to get updated maybe once a year but these days it seems that every few months they are improving them and it simply becomes too expensive to keep upgrading every time a new phone comes out.

If the device we are using at the moment does everything we need it to do, is there really any NEED anyway to keep upgrading? Is it not better to save the money and only upgrade as and when we see a device that offers more than what we are currently using, instead of just upgrading because a new colour as been released!
