Of course not, most of us don’t. What makes us have this urge to update every time something new comes out? I haven’t a clue, but I suffer from this as well. The funny thing is that often times I come back to the same devices.

A couple years ago, I used the i-mate Kjam as my primary phone. I’d buy another or test one for a review and 2-3 weeks later, right back to the Kjam. Last year, it was the Palm Treo 750. For the last 6-7 months it’s the Tilt. I’ve been coming right back to the Tilt.  I’ve got the iPhone, the Nokia n95, the HTC Advantage and Touch, the Blackberry Pearl, the Centro, and a couple other phones just laying around unused. Some people prefer some of those phones to the Tilt, but I keep going back to the Tilt. It’s not what you might think either. I don’t keep going back because I own it and the others I don’t, I own most of the others too.

Every time I see a new phone pop up like the HTC Diamond, the Touch Pro, or the Xperia X1, I get really excited for their release, but why? The Tilt is fine. Is it the Geek in me? Sure. I have little interest in owning the Diamond, but the Touch Pro and the Xperia X1 are a couple phones that look like they could upend the Tilt as my daily driver. We’ll see.

Do you find yourself buying new gadgets just because and end up going back what you were using before?
