See my Mum says that as well, she's lucky to keep a phone 2 years! Though women do like 'talking' on phones, and she spends a lot of time gaming on hers... However I've only had 4 phones since 2003!
Nokia 3210 (2003 - 2006)
Motorola V557 (2006 - 2008) (Door loom to flip screen/camera failed)
Samsung D900i (2008 - 2011) (Door loom to slider camera failed)
HTC Wildfire (2011 - 2015) (USB port failing, can't connect to pc at all, only charges occasionally and won't hold charge long even after new battery)
