For what? My answer was always for the camera! But now I have a 2-year-old phone with a pretty great camera and I'm not sure I need a slightly better one for $1

  I don't care about the camera, so I have absolutely no reason to upgrade. Maybe if they come out with a phone where the battery will last for a week or more then I'll upgrade.

        It's available for purchase now. Uniherz have a track record of delivering. Two phones now delivered as per promises of their previous Kickstarters. I have one of them (the Jelly Pro) and am completely satisfied with it. If someone wants a rugged, long battery life phone (this has a 6000mAh battery) it would be a reasonable bet. No different from pre-ordering from any other hardware manufacturer.

  Cameras are magic upgrade desire devices: no matter how good my camera is, my average snapshot will always be worse than the carefully selected best of the best of others. This is never a fair competition, it's hardly every the camera's fault, but it's where blame will fall nonetheless. Cameras will never be good enough. But are right of course, even cameras won't save the two year upgrade cycle. There will be an even more improved camera next year, just hold out a bit longer. Repeat until the old phone is actually broken. Everybody wins (long term even phone mallets will need a livable planet)
