Best Business Phones

Here are some of the best business phones that have been selected because of their power and functionality.

EXPERT REVIEW

Convergence has still a long way to go before we can say that it has reached its limit. Earlier high convergence was expected out of only business handsets, but now things have changed and it is expected out of every phone that is launched in the market. Consumers want their money's worth and when it comes to business handsets the expectation is even higher. Cost of the handset is not much of a concern if the job gets done with ease.

Nokia E51

The Nokia E51 is one handset that has made convergence so much more affordable. It's a standard candy bar handset without a touchscreen or QWERTY keypad but is still up to the task. The phone comes loaded with business applications. It has a keypad that is alphanumeric but nonetheless is really comfortable to use.

Connectivity options are all served by the phone and for its price it's a steal. The phone is not only a choice for people with business convergence in mind, but even for those who want to stay connected online as well as offline. The phone does this all at a very reasonable price. However, its multimedia is of questionable quality.

YOU'VE GIVEN WRONG INFORMATION ABOUT THE DISPLAY ON SONY ERICSSON G900. THE ACTUALL SIZE OF THE DISPLAY IS 2.4-INCH BUT YOU WRITTEN 2.8-INCH.

A very limited list of business phones. I would prefer to go for a Windows Mobile based phones than the proprietory OS ones. This because, viewing attachments to emails, mostly in India are by MS Office, compatibility matters. i-mates, HTCs, Samsung are missing !

I would like to replace the Sony Ericsson G900 with the Apple iPhone 3G. Though the cost is a bit exorbitant, it does its job better than many of the handsets mentioned.

This time you really impressed. Personally I may have added 1 or 2 more phones. But then it would have been a tough call - whom to remove from your list. That is why in general all the devices which you have selected are worthy of being kept in the 'Best' category. If you ask me to choose one I will choose E71 and for budget sensitive buyers E51. Good Choice. Keep it up!
