Nokia is killing me

What am I supposed to do with all my old phones and what do i buy now. I currently use a 3650 and a 7250. Both great phones and both do what I need them to do. But soooo many cool things out there. I already went through a 7250 and a 5100 and that's just in the past 6 months. Now they have the N-Gage that I wanted to get and then they bust out with the 6600. DOH. It seems like in about 5 years I will be able to open up a museum for Nokia addicts with all my old phones that are still perfectly useable. Going nuts here. How am I supposed to buy a new car with all these phones coming out.

Think of us poor students! 😞

I don't care if i have to sell a limb, the 6600 looks too tasty to miss out on! 😃

My phone strategy is the following:

- I always have two or more phones.
- I always sell my phones before guarantee time ends.
- I keep my phones updated and serviced (e.g software, minor faults).
- Because I have many phones, service defays are not a problem.

For example my 7650 was once changed for a new one and once the display was changed. I will sell this before guarantee time ends and get a new phone with a reasonable change. This way I always have a nicely working phone and a valid guarantee.�

This strategy is not watertight, though. Guarantee for my 7650 ends before 6600 is available for sale. I'm still working on how to deal with this. 😊

Money is meant to be used, you can't take it with you after going down under. 😊

My point was that this is the most economical way to always have the latest models, and I don't want to keep a Nokia phones' museum at home.

Oh.. I see your point now. I was just suprised if you could sell your phones without loosing money... yeah, your way is a good way!

i think i will purchase this, and have it as a backup to my 3650. I will have to see it up close to really make a decision on whether its worth buying.
