Top 10 business mobiles 2012

Wednesday, February 01, 2012

Every month we compile a list of the Top 10 business mobile handsets based on our monthly dispatch figures across our business. We now have the first figures for 2012 and the list is below:

  1. Apple iPhone 4s
  2. Nokia C1-01
  3. BlackBerry 9300 Curve
  4. BlackBerry 8520 Curve
  5. BlackBerry 9780 Bold
  6. BlackBerry 9860 Bold
  7. Samsung Galaxy Ace
  8. Nokia C2-01
  9. Samsung B2100
  10. Nokia 2323

Only 4 manufacturers make the list but these are very much the "big four" when it comes to business mobiles.

BlackBerry have rebounded from a poor December 2011 with four entries at 3 - 6. A mixture of Curve's and Bold's which offer something for every budget. BlackBerry have a loyal following with many businesses, particularly where email is the most important function of the mobile.

But they are unable to challenge the runaway winner, the iPhone 4s. With more people using iPhone's in their daily life outside of work it's only natural that they would feel more comfortable with them at work too.

Nokia and Samsung pad out the list. Nokia with their affordable talk and text handsets, whilst Samsung bring us a tough phone (the B2100) and a budget SmartPhone (the Galaxy Ace).

Getting the best deal

The list changes considerably from month to month - in January only five of December's Top 10 made it back on the list with 5 new entries - but whatever phone you require for your business mobile contract we can help you at Best Business Mobile Deals.

Business benefits of SmartPhones

Wednesday, January 25, 2012

SmartPhones are becoming ubiquitous with regular consumers. As more individuals recognise their usefulness and switch to SmartPhones, it is inevitable that businesses too will follow suit.

In fact businesses have been first adopters of SmartPhone technology with their extensive use of BlackBerry handsets, but SmartPhones have moved on since then driven by Apple and the incredibly successful iPhone series.

For some businesses, where durability is more important than connectivity, there are other phones which might suit their requirements (although there are also rugged SmartPhones on the market now). But for the majority of business mobile users the smarter the better.

Some SmartPhone benefits for your business...

Power in your pocket - you have the computing power of a basic laptop in a device small enough to be carried anywhere. With wireless and 3G technology you can work from your phone as if you were in the office (almost).

Keep yourself organised - the average SmartPhone comes with a personal organiser, electronic diary, contact lists, and automatic reminders to name but a few of the functions which will organise your daily workload. They can be synced to your office so you never miss any important reminders.

Always online - unlike a laptop your phone is always on and, with push email, it is receiving data instantly. It enables you to be continuously accessible and productive.

Find your way around - most SmartPhones have GPS and a map function which can be used to plan routes and find your way on foot. There are also numerous apps which can be used to turn your phone into a satnav in your vehicle.

Access your company data - securely connect with your company information to access details of prospects and important documents. You can also access general information online, for instance to answer customer questions.

The power of applications - SmartPhones real differential is their use of applications. All of the operating systems have some sort of store where you can buy general business apps or ones that are specific for your business sector and usage. Larger companies can even develop their own.
