You know what? We've been wondering how often does the average PhoneArena reader change their phone. With all of these cool smartphones being released every month, sticking with a specific model for a long time seems a really hard thing to achieve. Then again, we're all tied to our contracts, so it's a safe bet to say that most are switching to a new handset every two years. However, it's also possible that a big number of users just can't wait for their contracts to expire and decide to lay some cold, hard cash to get a new phone a bit earlier. Finally, who says one can't purchase all of their phones unlocked? Shouldn't be a problem, as long as one has the... resources to do so. Anyway, let's see how PhoneArena readers behave when it comes to changing their phones!
