  for me ish.. every 8 months to 1 year. basically, i like to go for the high tech gadgets.. once i changed my phone after less den 6 months because the new version's functions and hardware had improved a little.

  Mobile phones are just mobile phones to me.
  
  I'm not a trend-follower, I only change when I see useful features in new ones.
  
  Otherwise, their all just marketing gimmicks.
  
  btw, cameras on mobile phones really sucks. They take horribly grainy pics.
  
  And over the decades of tech advancement in mobile phones, they have done VERY LITTLE to improve battery life. They only managed to make them smaller, and smaller.
  
  One of these days, mobile phones would probably sit inside your ear hole!

  singtel having a promo on a Nokia 3G phone with 2 MPixels camera.
  
  I agree with U on the battery life thingy....I think they should do something about it...no point having a phone with lots of fancy functions but have to recharge every day....

  Me change mine every two years once, but depends lah.
  
  My main concern is always the battery life rather than other features:
  
  In rank of importance when considering a new phone
  1. Battery life
  2. Connectivity features (eg. IR, Bluetooth)
  3. PIM services
  4. Bandwidth
  5. Camera
