Perhaps I should have titled this the things I’ll sacrifice for a new phone, but I know it’s a relate-able topic that I’ve seen other discuss in the past. When it comes to cell phones there are people who honestly don’t care about what theirs can do as long as it can make a call and maybe take a few grainy photos… my mother is one of those people. I bought her a “dumb phone” nearly 4 years ago and she’s still rocking it like it’s the best thing ever.
And then there are people like me… let’s just say I’m a tech junkie, especially when it comes to phones. Last year alone I went through using 5 different devices, and I’m not a device reviewer… just an Average Joe (or Jane? haha) who knew the right person to enable me to keep up with the latest and greatest.
When it came time to sell one of those devices in preparation for getting a new one, a lovely little website called Swappa.com came to be quite handy.
Getting up to this year I’ve only had two new mobile devices… one was a cheap Windows Phone that is currently sitting on a shelf in my closet as my back-up device and the second a Moto X. I have to be honest that months later I still love that phone and it is still chugging along quite nicely but there’s a part of me that wants something new, I’d even go as far as to say that I’m overdue for a new device given my reputation.
