There are so many new phone models coming out nowadays, they are basically tripping over each other. And while the tech is sort of matured, there are still enough developments and upgrades to make you feel like your handset is getting old just 6 months after the model had hit the market. So, for an enthusiast, it's usually a hard task to keep your wallet closed when the next shiny phone comes out.

But there are also those that have immense zen skills... or have other life stuff to take care of before being able to afford the next superphone that they itch for so much. We thought we'd ask our readers — how old is your current phone? Here's how that poll went:
