Study: We're going with the our phones ever more

If you are sick of buying a new phone every two years, you are certainly one step. Consumers are now at their phones more than ever these days, according to the latest J.D. Power and Associates survey.

We will now keep our cellphones for an average of 20.5 month, which is 17% more time that we are now on our phones last year, J.D. Power 2010 u.s. Wireless Smartphone Customer Satisfaction Study done trouve.En, 20.5 month is the longest we have held on our phones since J.D. Power began the study, which was in 1999.

Survey cited the economy as the primary reason that we now old phones – and I have no doubt that money plays an important role in the decision to hold off buying a new phone. But J.D. Power has found that the price of new phones is really come down.According to the study, "the average price of a traditional wireless phone declined to $ 76 in 2010 an average of $ 81 at the beginning of the year 2009.La decrease is mainly attributable to discounts given by the device providers and wireless carriers to boost sales." "Currently, 42% of clients report having received a free mobile phone subscribing to wireless service."

Therefore, I think silver is the only thing keeping many of us to buy a new phone. Here are a few reasons why I think that people are now these old aircraft more than ever.

Today's phones are cooling than ever

We have seen lots of cool new phones debut in recent years - and especially in recent months. One summer, Galaxy S line affected Android phones Samsung all major carriers nationwide in the U.s., Apple launched iPhone 4, race and HTC launched the first 4 G phone EVO 4 G and Motorola launched not Droid one, but two phones, the X Droid and 2 Droid.

Is it that much better than phones - culture as the iPhone 3GS and Motorola Droid - launched last year phones? In some respects, sure.New phones are the latest and greatest models.But phones last year are still fairly y cool and quite y capable. If you have last year's Droid Motorola, you need not upgrade to a more template récent.Et if you have iPhone 3GS year last, though, you can be quite happy that you have not upgraded to the new iPhone 4, taking account of all its problems.

All these new phones may be causing shoppers pause before making a purchase, too.After all, Sprint launched the 4 G of HTC EVO 4 G - capable in June, only to follow with superior (in my opinion) 4 G - capable Samsung Epic 4 G just two months later.What happens if I bought the EVO 4 G, only to find out weeks later that I would have departed for the EPIC 4 G? it goes the same for Verizon Wireless and Motorola, who initiated the Droid X and 2 Droid in succession rapide.Téléphone shoppers are afraid to commit by fear that a new handset even better apparatus is perhaps right around the corner.

Painful support contracts

Speaking engagement, another thing that is likely to client operating return is these painful carrier contracts.A brilliant X Droid new may seem less attractive when you discover that, for price supported on the device, you need to commit to two years of service with the carrier.Even if you are happy with your carrier, you may not like the idea related to their during 24 months another - especially when you feel stiff fees you may incur if you try to cancel the contract.You know, when you try to cancel the contract because another carrier has launched a new phone that is so much cooler than the one we have now.

We are waiting for iPhone coming to Verizon

Or, perhaps, we are all willing to commit - the right phone and carrier droit.Nous are perhaps all expect iPhone Verizon long - only to become reality.(However, according to comments the Verizon CEO today, we'll wait longer.)

What do you think? have you kept to your mobile phone more than ever? why? or why not? do we know in the comments.
