Best Business Mobile Deals Blog

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.

As independent dealers we offer a full range of mobile phones and can mix and match them according to your requirements. They can usually be supplied free of charge as part of your contract.

We have compiled our Top 10 business mobile phone list using September's despatch figures. Full details below.

The first big shock is a surprise number 1 - the Samsung E1080i. This is a very basic talk and text handset, it's main selling point being its price! However for businesses that don't want their employees having fancy phones but prefer a durable and reliable phone instead it's a good choice and keeps costs down.

At the opposite end of the spectrum, at number 2 in the list, is the Apple iPhone 4. This remains an incredibly popular SmartPhone however it is due to be replaced by the iPhone 4S during October and we anticipate a lot of demand for the new iPhone 4S model now it's finally been launched.

Nokia's 6303i continues its run in the Top 10 list having occupied a place every month this year. This is the 6th month that it has appeared in the top 3, remaining a popular phone for its durability and ease of use.

At number 4 is the first BlackBerry mobile handset, the 9300 curve. A relatively inexpensive handset it is a 3G model as opposed to the BlackBerry 8520 curve (in at number 7) which is only 2G. The more expensive and feature-packed BlackBerry 9780 Bold comes in at number 9.

Positions 5, 6 and 8 are occupied by three Nokia phones - the C1-01, the 2700 and the C2-01. Sensible choices for the average business user looking to keep costs down.

Finally the list is rounded off by the HTC Pro 7. HTC handsets have become increasingly popular this year, having been featured in the top 10 list for each of the last 6 months. The Pro 7 runs the Windows Phone 7 operating system which is sometimes requested for specific business applications.

Every month we compile a Top 10 business mobile phone list. Whilst there are always some new entries the basic core of the list remains fairly steady. With the popularity of SmartPhones many would think that the whole list would be made up of them, however this is not the case.

There are still many businesses who do not need the extra features SmartPhones afford and are happy with standard talk and text mobiles. This keeps their bills down and keeps their employees focused on their jobs and not accessing Facebook or Twitter when they should be working!

The best mobile for your business is the one that provides the features you need without any extras. The most feature packed phones cost more money - this is money your business could have in cashback or kit allowance if you choose lower spec handsets. Why pay for features you don't need?

Giving your staff the right mobile phones for the task they need to achieve will empower them and make them more productive. Before deciding upon handsets make a list of essential features that you must have in order to function and ensure the phone you pick has them all and does them all well.

For instance, if you need a good camera on your phone do some research about which phone offers the best camera experience. Just looking at the megapixels available and picking the highest does not necessarily equate to getting the best camera. The standard of optics, zoom, flash - these all need to be included in the equation.

Mobile phone help and advice

Because we deal with mobile phones every day we know which ones are most suitable for your business. We get feedback from our clients and also take in many handsets for repair. We know which phones are reliable and which ones are liable to break pretty quickly.

There is nothing to gain from supplying you with cheap handsets that will prove unsatisfactory for the job you need to do. You let us know your business needs and we will pinpoint a range of handsets that will do the job from which you can choose.

As well as finding the best business mobile handset for you we will also find the best tariff, saving you money month after month. Let us provide you with a free, no obligation quotation to show you just how much you could save.

We have compiled a list of the Top 10 business mobile phones based on dispatch figures for August 2011. The list is as follows:

1 Apple iPhone 4
2 Nokia 6303i
3 BlackBerry 8520 Curve
4 BlackBerry 9300 Curve
5 HTC Wildfire S
6 Nokia C2-01
7 Nokia 2323
8 BlackBerry 9780 Bold
9 Nokia C1-01
10 Motorola Gleam

Top 10 business mobile analysis

The Apple iPhone 4 has jumped back up to its number one position last held in June 2011. The price of this handset has come down a little as rumours circulate about the iPhone 5 making it more affordable on a range of business tariffs.

Nokia's 6303i, very much a standard business phone for talk and text, maintains its Top 10 position which it has held throughout 2011. Nokia have done well this month with four entries including two entries for their C series of phones which are proving popular.

BlackBerry phones continue to do well in the list with two curves and one bold. The 8520 is very affordable but is only 2G, whereas the 9300 has 3G for a little extra. The 9780 Bold is a more feature-packed handset but this does come at a price.

HTC do appear regularly in the list but the handsets vary in popularity month by month. In August it's the HTC Wildfire S that makes the Top 10. This affordable SmartPhone runs the Android OS and packs a lot in for a relatively inexpensive handset.

Finally there is the Motorola Gleam. It's the first time in the list for this basic phone. The only thing it seems to have going for it is the clamshell design and big buttons which are favoured amongst users who don't want touchscreen phones which currently dominate the market.

At Best Business Mobile Deals we can supply any UK mobile phone handset for your business. For those looking for multiple phones we can supply a mixture based upon your exact requirements. These will usually be supplied free of charge, subject to your tariff. Contact us for more information and a free review.
