This isn't necessarily a strictly logical way of approaching this, but that's how I decide whether I spend money.
So in the world of smartphones, where a new model is released about once a year, what do you do?

I agree though if a new model comes out within a few months, that's disappointing, but most likely it's disappointing that I bought it right before the holiday season when I know a new one traditionally comes out. Anyone not buying a new PW2 8 months before a new one traditionally comes out is just being foolish, since the last one pretty much just came out.
