How long have you had your latest mobile phone?

[iandbeech]

My kids get a new one every 6 months on average but I`ve realised I`ve had mine for over 5 years!!

It`s a Motorola "Timeport" if anyone remembers that far back

[Marki]

Nearly 3 years now , its a Nokia err err urmm little one , battery lasts for ever its been dropped used and abused i will mourn it when it finally packs up

[crazydave]

Almost a year. I'll change it when the contract is up.

[JagLover]

About four years-its a black brick.

I think I will have to get a new one soon though-it doesn't charge up properly.

Nokia 8850. Bought it for £350 plus contract!

Nice to see you're bringing your kids up to throw money away. Did someone offer them extra minutes and a car made of ham, Panda?

I thought my mobile was quite modern and "trendy". However, my eldest kid laughed at it recently when he took a look at it, because it doesn't take photographs, play music, show football, play games, etc....... His mobile does all of the above, and I don't think I've seen him make a single phone call on it!

Had a Motorola 3690 Since they came outMust have been over four years old! P/X'ed it for a Motorola 620 but gave to son and I took his V150, (fits the case for the 3690).

[Jinx]

I had a Nokia 1611 for a long time until I upgraded to the 3310. Those two lasted me well over six years, though in the last two I've a new one every year....

This may as well be in Dutch, as far as I'm concerned!

I change mine every year… had the current Orange SPV C500 for a few months now - and very happy with it.

[EmmaP]

I upgraded to a Nokia6230 seven weeks ago because I wanted a phone with a camera I had had my previous mobile for eighteen months.

[Woody_450]

Had a Nokia 7250 since they came out (2years) then swapped to a Motorola v620 this year, in this time our lass has had 5, maybe 6 different mobiles ?!?

She changes them more often than I change my cars

That's what I'm after next

Although I am very happy with my Motorola.

Got my first Motorola (V980) two months ago and although it's got lots of 3G nobs and whistles, the battery lasts a day and I never get more than two bars of signal. All my previous Nokias have bee fab.

It's my third SPV (had the original and the E200)…

The C500 has a decent battery life, isn't too bulky, has great functionality, and sync's with Outlook on the PC, so you don't have to mess around with putting in numbers, calendar entries etc, as it just hoovers them up.

Two issues…
1) takes a bit of getting used to, with the texting as the space button is different to the Nokia's I've had previously.
2) It's a Windows OS. In other words, use task manager to get the best out of it, and reboot (off and on again) every day...

I currently have one of those LG handsets, cos I'm with 3. Seemed like a great idea at the time, to go with 3... cheap line rental, 500 free minutes, etc... videophone... but I've had to have the bloody thing replaced 3 times already (calls keep cutting off, handset display freezes, you lose reception for no apparent reason, your address book mysteriously vanishes... must I go on?) and it's now much too late to pull out the contract. Ah well!

When the phone works, it's fine... but ... *sigh* Have had it since December... prior to that I tend to change contracts/network/numbers every year!

I have a Motorola V3 which I hate and no longer use and want to sell. It has an ingress of dust between the screen and the protective plastic cover. It scratches easily. Just dont like it. Now using a 6310i and it's perfect.

[silverback mike]

I have had mine for about 3 months. It's one of those fisher price rubbery nokia things that has a camera, video and that rubbish.

Survived getting dipped into a pint as well.

[FrenchTVR]

I've had my Nokia 8910i Titanium phone for just on two years now. It was bought for me as a present because I really liked the look of it.
Good phone, small when closed, syncs with Outlook etc. Battery has a good life on it.
Overall really pleased with it.

I have had my Motorola A1000 for about a month and I love it. I got 256MB of memory for it, and now I use it as a phone and as an MP3 player, and as a camera (though I ever took many photos anyway).
Plus the touchscreen is pretty cool, the handwriting recognition works well and reception is usually pretty good (despite being with 3).
In a months time, when tthe touchscreen is broken I'll be on here complaining, but for now...
