There has been a lot of news recently about people wanting phones to go back to basics and people are buying phones which were made in the naughties for surprising prices.

Do you have a modern phone or are calls and a game of snake all you want?

[Josy]

Yes I have smartphones

[joe199998293]

I've got an iPhone 4, I need a new one badly, It's so slow and old.

Yes, iPhone 4s

Really, not heard anything about it, have you a link for this news article Jessica? and what are surprising prices

[Sophiee]

no and I don't plan on getting one either.

[thesheriff443]

no, not got one and don't want one, some times keeping it simple is best.
some people just want a phone for calls and texts. hence no need for a smart phone.

I have an iphone 4, pretty good, I could be getting a new phone when I go on contract though.

It's not that old..

[MTVN]

Sort of, I just have the own brand Vodafone mini smart which only costs about Ł45, it's not great but it has everything I need

[chuff me dizzy]

Im not materialistic, I dont need the latest gadgets to keep in touch with those I care about, nor do I need to impress anyone ,in fact I think its all pretty sad that folk have to have the latest, dearest, things to fill their empty lives with ,and how do doleys,children afford them ?

[AnnieK]

I have an iPhone 4s....due an upgrade but not really bothered about getting a new one.

[InOne]

Nokia Lumia 625. Not the best not the worst and does the job fine. The novelty of apps and games wore off after about 4 months.

This is where I first heard about it unfortunately but there are many more similar stories on other sites.

That's quite a lot of assumptions to make based on something as simple as the phone one has. Is there a reason you're so angry about it?

I have one, but not because "I need the latest gadgets", because I intend to keep it for a good long while if it remains in useable condition, I love it, it's perfect for me and I don't see the need to replace it. Even though a newer model has recently been released. Sure, it's fairly recent as far as phones go, but it's not "the latest gadget".

I'm also not materialistic. I have the phone I have because it's fun. I don't walk down the street waving it around like it's a trophy.

And yeah, my life is not empty. Even if it was, I'm pretty sure a bloody mobile phone wouldn't change that.

I think it's ironic you gloat about how you're not materialistic, don't feel the need to impress people, etc, yet refer to people on benefits with a derogatory term like "doleys" (despite knowing nothing about individual circumstances), etc. That's pretty damn shallow, itself. You might not need the latest phone to feel good about yourself, you need to put others down instead.

PS: I agree that some people are materialistic and shallow in regards to phones, having the latest things, etc, but you're generalizing every single person with a Smartphone as being part of that group, which is way off.

[Jarrod]

I've got an iPhone 5C, before that it was an iPhone 4. Wouldn't be without it!
