I got us all iPhones for ease of info transfer and updating as well as being able to view and use almost all of the same apps from either device. No other reason. It's great having all of our price lists, product and spec sheets handy when I'm not at my desk and we all have wireless printers.

I personally tend to be two generations behind with the iPhone. In fact, I've been running a 4-something with a non-functioning home button for over a year (thank you virtual home button via Accessibility!) and the Mrs. is a model behind me. Kids have newer just because I got them for them the Christmas before last.

The Mrs. and I are probably due for an upgrade so I'll probably hold off until Apple rolls out the 5++ or 6 or whatever they call it and pick up early 5's for us.
Parts are dirt cheap 2generations back too. You can get glass, digitizer, and csrewdrivers for a gen4 for around $30.

If my phone gets smashed a NOS unit is ~$150 on eb*y.
