how long will my BLACK BERRY LAST?
- Agreed - I have the Curve, and I can definitely live with it for 2 years - but I'm sure a newer, better Curve will come along. Keeping a phone 6 years? Why that's just CRAZY TALK! :-)~10-27-08 01:02 AMLike 0
- amazinglygracelessRetired ModI actually laughed reading most of the comments to the OP's
question.
Prior to a Nokia E62 (which I dumped) and then my Pearl and
Curve I used the same phone for 5 or so years.
Why? Because it worked and did everything I needed it to do.
Sure there were better phones on the market, but I for one don't
have the need to constantly go for the newest "hottest" thing
on the market unless it will be a vast improvement, in every major aspect,
over what I currently uses.10-27-08 01:27 AMLike 0 - 6 years is just not likely with a converged device (PDA Phone) since even if the phone functions work fine the PDA portion will not keep up with the software. Even the CDMA Curves are light on memory and this is going to have to change if RIM is going to keep up. Or at least add the ability to run applications from the memory card. Technology just changes too quick. I will be looking at new devices at about a year and will change anytime from there to 2 years most likely.

A phone you purchased in 1997 would be more than adequate in the year 2000.
However now every iteration of a phone packs in more and more features with much better design/form factor than its predecessor. So you can kind of see why most people choose to change every year or so.
The key word being CHOOSE. At the end of the day its your money and your phone. If you are happy with your phone and want to keep it for 6+ years your going to, if not your going to buy a new one...10-27-08 04:26 PMLike 0
