Nokia is killing me

What am I supposed to do with all my old phones and what do i buy now. I currently use a 3650 and a 7250. Both great phones and both do what I need them to do. But soooo many cool things out there. I already went through a 7250 and a 5100 and that's just in the past 6 months. Now they have the N-Gage that I wanted to get and then they bust out with the 6600. DOH. It seems like in about 5 years I will be able to open up a museum for Nokia addicts with all my old phones that are still perfectly useable. Going nuts here. How am I supposed to buy a new car with all these phones coming out.

I don't care if i have to sell a limb, the 6600 looks too tasty to miss out on!

My phone strategy is the following:

- I always have two or more phones.
- I always sell my phones before guarantee time ends.
- I keep my phones updated and serviced (e.g software, minor faults).
- Because I have many phones, service defays are not a problem.

For example my 7650 was once changed for a new one and once the display was changed. I will sell this before guarantee time ends and get a new phone with a reasonable change. This way I always have a nicely working phone and a valid guarantee.¨

This strategy is not watertight, though. Guarantee for my 7650 ends before 6600 is available for sale. I'm still working on how to deal with this.

Money is meant to be used, you can't take it with you after going down under.

My point was that this is the most economical way to always have the latest models, and I don't want to keep a Nokia phones' museum at home.

i think i will purchase this, and have it as a backup to my 3650. I will have to see it up close to really make a decision on whether its worth buying.
