Do you have a smartphone addiction?

[dkhmwilliams]

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!

I don't have a Smartphone addiction. I like and enjoy what I use. I usually stick with a device until it's time to upgrade.

Every time I buy a smartphone, my intention is to keep it for a while. After a few weeks, I start to get the itch for something new. Because I never keep them long enough, I don't develop an attachment to them, which makes it easier to switch. For a while, I had gotten into a bad habit of swapping phones with people on Craigslist.

Haha yes! To be honest, I probably couldn't live for one day without my devices. Sad, but true

Like others, I do not have an addiction to smartphones, but I do enjoy using my iPhone a great deal...

Let me see it with me always, addicted - no.

If constant use = addiction, I'm addicted.

 

[Spencerdl]

Short answer...YES!!!

I'm more interested in choosing the device that fits my needs completely, and then sticking with it until I can't, or until an upgrade.

My addiction is to the phones I already have. I can't put them down.

Yes, I have bought a Nokia 521 and a S3 in the past year thinking that I could switch away from my iPhone 4 because it has some signal issues. Well I have used the S3 for about 4 days now and have constantly thought about my iPhone.

I am completely addicted. My iPhone is NEVER outside of arm range.

For me too. I know people that leave their smartphones at home or in the car and I always wonder how that happens. I have never left my smartphone anywhere. I don't even leave it on my desk at work if I'm not in my office. I have to have it with me always and I am always using it for various things. I have integrated my phone and tablet use into just about everything I do.

I wish this was me. I would love to stick with one device, one ecosystem, one platform for at least a year. Two years would be awesome. I have spent/wasted too much money on smartphones, tablets, and laptops. I would like to start saving money instead of constantly burning through it. I would also like to develop a since of comfort with my devices. I give them up so quickly, I never build an attachment to them or feel truly "at home" with them. So it would be nice to really commit to one platform/device/ecosystem for a while.
