That's one reason I'm glad we chose Nokia smart phones. The OS doesn't upgrade very frequently, and there aren't as many cool apps built for it, so it doesn't feel outdated even though it's two years old.

Just another reason it's important with electronic purchases to like what you're getting NOW, because that's all you can be guaranteed you're going to get. I'm finally at a good place with all my gadgets (laptop, phone, tablets) where I'm content with the functionality I have. It's nice not to be preoccupied with new developments and obsolescence for at least a little while.
