How many of you feel like you are addicted to smartphones? I have long felt that I did. Having 30+ smartphones in the last 4 years. Although, I have slowed down considerably this year. Have had my iPhone 5S for three months now!

Like Almeuit said, my wallet restricts my addiction. But maybe now is the time to get in on the ground floor of Smartphone Anonymous.

Too much to learn on every one, but if I had the cash I would get about 5 or 6 and settle on 2 for most days. I would buy a 1st Apple as well.

Depreciation is a topic for another thread. Apple has that tied up now, but many 'analysts' say they have reached a plateau in terms of software.

How about Androids Anonymous - sseempulz!

I definitely have a smartphone addiction. I use to buy one every 3 months. As I've gotten older I've began to use just one. I kept my last iPhone 4S for an entire year and a half. Then I bounced around a little and now I've had my moto x for about 7 months and I'll keep this one for another year at least. I'm learning to keep something good and not just spend money all the time if I don't have to.

well...i kinda have an addition but i control it because i don't have money to be spending on my smartphone desires XD

for now, I'll try to settle on my Moto X for at least 1 year... tho sometimes i feel rly tempted to get a Lumia or a Nexus or LG G2...but then i remember i don't rly have money for this and the Moto X serves my needs just right and i manage to hold back XD

Me? No... LOL

I was always obsessed because I always treated them like a toy instead of as a phone. Being anal (OCD) didn't help either, I would sell it because I dented and/or scratched it. Last year, not that I was happy with it but I sold my S4 3-4 weeks because it had a very tiny dent were the buyer couldn't even see it. LOL

One time I had two Note 2's (Black & White), I used the other as a 5.5" iPod or bought the M7 twice because I made a mistake selling it. I can't remember why I did but I know the second didn't last long either because I sold it for the Note 3.

This year I may break my personal record, I just don't see myself selling my S5 especially having spent over $100 on accessories which is the first ever.

There's so much good stuff on the market right now. It's hard not want the latest devices.

How much times I posted that I love my S5, I've spent so much on accessories but I want the latest.

I guess this explains why I'm single. :( LOL

I do. I can only manage to keep my iPhone and Nexus devices the longest. Once I get bored with the device, I just sell it and use that money towards the new device.

I am getting better. I used to jump between the iPhone 4s and galaxy s3 then the iPhone 5 and samsung s4. Now with the s5 for some reason I feel no need to return to the apple world. I would like to try some other androids like the HTC m8 or the g3 just to see them. Other than that I think I'll be staying loyal to my s5
