Another "Industry first"???

I don't know what it will be. I am hoping that it is something worth while though. I am kinda bored with what I am using now. I've had it a couple of months. It is time for a new one. I am hoping that it is announced and released on Thursday. That way I can get a new phone to last me thru what is announced next month.

MissJennell, I'm curious what makes it worthwhile for you to upgrade so frequently & pay full price for phones. Do you sell the old one once you get the new one? Or do you just chalk it up to a "hobby" expense?

Sometimes I sell the old ones. Sometimes I keep the old ones. I don't really chalk it up to anything. It is a hobby for me. And I can afford it. So I do it. Most of my other hobbies don't cost much at all (running, photography, reading) so it kind of evens itself out with this one that costs a lot more.

It will likely be another WP7 phone. Would being the first to operate on Wimax (4G) make it the industry's first 4G WP7 phone? Haven't been keeping up with all the phone announcements, but if it's actually on sale first Sprint would again be first.

I'm not a WP7 fan myself. Not too thrilled with closed-systems. Not to thrilled with most of the MSFT products I've purchased since WinXP - all seem half-baked and more focused on MSFT upgrades and pocket-lining rather than making my life easier.

Photography doesnt cost anything? Yikes, thats my most expensive hobby.
