I read/heard someplace -- sorry to be allegorical -- that cell phones are designed for about 2 years of life. Here is some -- call it -- evidence: answerbag.com You can get 3-4 out of a laptop, but not if you travel. My oldest desktop lasted about 7. I still have my first CDMA phone from Q (1998). Every time I lose or drop my phone in the toilet (done both), I fire it up and it still works great. I can't believe between, wear and tear, functional obsolescence, and Moore's Law that replacement cycles will shrink in the near to mid-term future. But that's pure WAGGETY WAG WAG on my part. Dan D.
