I still have not bought a phone yet - i've always been handed down them =p
Can't complain though, they're excellent phones.
About 5 years ago my brother gave me a 7210 then i got some random phone and another. Then i ended up with an N95 which my niece wanted so i took my sister's 8800.
My sister and brother-in-law go through quite a number of phones...
Btw, what's the point in changing phones every few months? lol, isn't that a bit much of a hassle.
I like reading. Do you?

My current one is only the 2nd phone i've ever bought in my life and that set me down a massive 35 euros. Been using it for a few years now.
Before that my uncle used to give me some promo models every now and then from the Nokia R&D department he's working in. Some of them had a few minor glitches which didn't really bother me, considering their freebie status. But i don't understand those people at all, who willingly buy and change their phones once a month or even more often. What's the reason for always having the latest phone model besides "being in with the trends" or making it match your new set of clothes? I don't feel like changing my phone unless it breaks completely or otherwise becomes obsolete.

I dont change em every month,that does seem a bit excessive... every year /18 months, mainly because i like the new features, my current phone has 8mp camera and 16gb internal memory, which means i dont have to buy and carry around a camera or an mp3 player, its also got satnav/google maps, comes in real handy and also use the net on it a fair bit, if you just use a mobile to make phone calls then yeah, stick to a bog standard 3310 and dont bother upgrading

People keep talking about marking things up as a gift but it makes no difference whatsoever to the customs officers.
The marked up value, including postage is the only thing they give a shit about.
If it's over £18 in total you could get charged VAT and duty.
Simple as that.
