Maybe your phone is outdated far too soon, or maybe you just want to try all of the options in the smartphone market.

Bendable smartphones could be a reality in five years, Lenovo's head of mobile told CNBC.
Very easy to steal too from the looks of it.
More pointless, overpriced attachments to compensate for designer shortsightedness could be a reality in 5 years.
Some people mocked the original iPhone when it launched, and the Samsung Galaxy Note provoked much mirth for being too big, but both defied their critics with strong sales and spawned sequels that are still going strong. The phones we’re looking at here had a different fate. They may have pointed the way for the future of smartphones, but they failed to capitalize on it.
Lumia 1020 was definitely the biggest shocker of all. I still remember how I thought it would do great in the markets when it was first announced.
Shake it like a smartphone printer. Actually, no. Don't shake it. Your prints will be ready in ten seconds.
Let me warn you before hand that it is gonna cost you a fortune if you plan on using this one for some regular use.
Yeah sometimes two years is a huge commitment, and better deals come along you can not take advantage of due to contracts.
I don't find two years that big of a commitment. The main problem is people are made to think that they need the "next big thing" when in reality they are fine waiting. I am 21 and have owned a total of 3 cellphones since I was 12ish. I'm a bit tech savvy and don't see the need to shell out for minor improvements every few months.
I am a proud owner of a Galaxy S (1), bought it when it was still fresh on the market. I recently installed Ice Cream Sandwich (Android 4.0.3) on it. It is freaking amazing. Samsung pulled official support, but I could care less. It runs lightning fast and stable although it's an early beta. And I am confident the amazing xda-developers community will keep up the support for the phone for at least another year. I have yet to find a graphics heavy game like Shadowgun that doesn't run smoothly/at all on my device, even without a dual core CPU.
