Q. I can't wait to get rid of my glitch ridden Motorola Defy, now on second one after defect had first one burn up and replaced for free. If not for the several very annoying fowl up's I would absolutely LOVE this phone. So 2 years with this and I'm ready to replace.
I had a Motorola Razor Z3 years back, a Slider based on the hugely popular at the time Razor flip phone. I kept that for well over 3 years before I went swimming with it :( The phone I replaced it with a Nokia slider was nice but not as good as the smaller screened Z3. I upgraded to an Android after that contract was up, mostly because I was already paying for internet and decided to get a phone that could use it.
But why do people who have a perfectly good phone that works good upgrade? I get attached to things that work well and despise parting with them. iPhone users seem to upgrade the most from all my co workers. Have the older phone for 6 months but they gotta have the new one.
Ha that's funny I have Tracphone LG Flip Phone on my desk as my back up for when I forget to charge my smart phone. $7.00 a month I pay just for a back up due to the smart phone always dying if I forget to charge it at night. To be honest, it's way more reliable then my Moto Defy.
A. I completely agree that iSheep upgrade their iPhones more than anyone else,but that's completely logical. After all Apple consistently holds back technology on their phones for just that reason. They know something silly like changing the location of the headphone jack will make their users run out and buy it after waiting on long lines for hours!
I'm only now thinking about upgrading my phone after having a (ready for this? Tracfone!) for about 5 years. I did upgrade my model of Tracfone 2 times but both upgrades cost me less than $100 each and this last one has such horrible problems I'm thinking of treating myself to the Samsung Galaxy SIII. Many of my co-workers have it,seem really happy with it and I can get a plan from Sprint (which in my area always had good coverage for me.) as an unlimited plan so I can finally go crazy with my phone without counting my minutes!
My co-workers went through the iPhone craze,then nearly all of them dropped them for HTC's and are now getting the SIII's. I liked what I read about it and love the big screen,but even then i'M SILL reading up on it including reviews.
I have to decide by tomorrow though,as Sprint online is having a sale to get the phone for $49 with the industry standard (abuse our customers to hell) contract of 2 years.
And remember,business' use the "You have to keep up with the Joneses" mentality to keep us spending!
My motto? Don't have any brand loyalty! Just buy the best that you can for what you can afford!
