During the peak of Nokia craze about a decade ago, everyone almost seemed to dream of even just handling a Nokia Unit, not necessarily to own them. I remember when I was in elementary, when you have a Nokia 3210 phone that time, you're absolutely cool! During our high school days, Nokia Units are becoming small and the smaller phone you have, the "cooler." That time Nokia 8210 and 8250 were just hot until more units came.

Until smart phones came lead by the culture-changing tech-giant Apple company and some other smart phones makers like Samsung. Upon the release of these smart phones, the Nokia craze was diverted to these smart phone makers, Apple and Samsung.

Some employees are applying for loans just to grab their own and some cut off their expenses just to be able to pay for their mobile plans. But after acquiring those smart phones what's next? Are you becoming richer? Does your skin get whiter? Did your husband/wife loved you more?

That is the question. People get really excited because it is "new." But once we acquired it, the hype and excitement will eventually go down. 

I believe the iphone5 will be very cool and great. I can sense some great apps and features. But it is not for everybody. It is made for people with savings intended for luxury.

I also use a smart phone and I am also dreaming of getting my own iphone also but my resources don't warrant me to do so. I mean, it is not bad to have one but to the point that buying an iphone5 is your priority over some of your basic needs is just a part of being "emotional." In that manner, you are not becoming wise because you are letting iphone5 to overwhelm and control your emotion to get one.

After getting it and satisfying your emotions what comes next? iphone6? or iphone5.5? or iphone5s? or iphone5 type2? And you won't be wise again? Remember, companies have their strategies to allure us consumers and allowing yourself to go with the flow could have danger if you are not wise.

I mean, I am not against iphone or Apple or the Samsung, etc. but hey check out first if it can fit your lifestyle or budget because after 5 years or so more models are coming and we're not sure if iphone is still the "leading" that time. So what about the hype? Just remember your Nokia days and you'll understand what I mean. I can bravely say that iphone5 is not a necessity this time.
