Don't be a packrat. Sorry you don't like the iPhone keyboard. I love it after getting used to trusting the keyboard to correct itself for me. You might not like the keyboard, but EVERYTHING else about it is better than a BlackBerry. Yeah, out with the old .. in with the new. Don’t be a packrat.

Treat them as gospel, but only if there are a hefty amount of reviews on the product. One or two raving reviews among 8 bad ones or one or two bad ones among 8 good ones is a red flag that the PR department has been there.

Number 5 for me is the key. I love to have the latest and greatest, but only if I can create some equity by selling off the old stuff. I bought my first iPod (2nd gen Nano) by downloading all of my CD's to my computer and then trading the CD's in at F.Y.E. I got my iPhone by selling my 2nd gen iPod that I wouldn't be using anymore and ebaying my Blackberry Curve that I had received for free. Every time I buy a new game I always sell the old ones first. The only caveat I would add to number 5 is to make sure you sell the item while it still holds value. You don't want to hang onto something for too long and realize that nobody wants it anymore.
