My Galaxy S2 still works, it even has decent battery life (at least a day). But would I want to use it? No. I like technological improvements. I buy a new phone because I want new capabilities - and that's bound to its computing performance. If I wanted to just call and send SMS, I would've kept using my Sony Ericsson from 2007, that one also still works flawlessly.

Most people I know - techies or not, even the grandmas - have drawers full of working phones. Clearly longevity is not the problem.

When they are shut down they are not working. I would like to see some statistics about how many phones make it to 10 years. (dendrites growing). I shall also chech my phones in the basement before they catch fire :)
