Business use of phones requires a different set of features, namely strong email support, web browsing, a good screen, software support (smartphones, no doubt) and local connectivity options. Here are a few such smartphones that we think really fit that bill.
Nokia E61
The Nokia E61 business smartphone comes with one of the best full-QWERTY keypads in the market. It also has a nice QVGA widescreen that makes browsing the web a pleasure, with it’s full XHTML browser of the Series 60 3rd Edition UI. It tops the list of email and connectivity options with Exchange and BlackBerry support over and above the regular POP3/IMAP support. The phone does GSM as well as EDGE and WCDMA.
