Is the i-Phone any good for business?

Try the HTC Touch-Pro if you don't go the iPhone route:

i had one until i stuffed it up the A*** of the Vodafone manager at the branch that sold it to me. It was dropping so many calls it was unusable.

It's not the phone that counts; it's the numbers you have in your contact list on them.



Best wishes,

Work supplied me with that phone.
Overall its not a bad phone with some annoyances.

It's been sitting in the box eversince. Stick to the iPhone!

I've used Windows based mobile (HTC) since the very first one appeared on Orange, the SPV. Today I use the SE Xperia X1 - nice phone once you get rid of the stock rom and install one from XDA developers.

I've went with the Nokia E75 for just now, it really wasn't worth changing everyone in the company's contracts to O2 just so I could get the i-Phone. :wink:

Might try the i-Phone when it's released for general use in the new year........

[Driftwood]

will vodafone only take the 3gs ? I wonder if O2 will still have the contract to be the first to release the next iphone?

Waiting for I Phone to move to Orange, so hopefully better coverage and deals. Should make an ideal business phone.

Yup. It's currently £96 with O2 apparently (on a specific contract) and should be considerably cheaper (if not free with a contract) now that two new major players enter the marketplace.

Doubt it very much, O2 sell every one they can get, whilst Orange and Voda may do a better value tariff, I doubt very much they'll be any massive differences in handset prices..

Standard ROMs/Software on most HTC phones is buggy. I have always re-flashed my ROM after a few days of owenership with one from one of the ROM cookers on XDA Developers. Sometimes you need to give a a couple of ROMs a try out before you find one that suits you.

The iPhone certainly seems pretty swift to use with less lagging between commands than my HTC. The HTC sometimes feels like it could do with a bit more memory. Once my HTC contract expeires I may well get the iPhone and give it a whirl. I heard Vodafone were getting a share of the iPhones soon?

Do you work with Mac or are you Windows based?
Nevertheless, I know of a lot of business users who use Windows and have no problem with the Iphone.

iphone should work well with either windows or macs - but syncs perfectly with a mac: calendars, contacts etc. as you would expect.

I have Nokia E71 - and for me is prefect:
- almost instant e-mail service (like blackberry) by nokia email
- SIP client - if you're a traveller you can avoid expensive roaming rates using VOIP via hotels wireless
- small clone of Office - view and edition of Word and Excel files
- lots of software
- QWERTY
and it's really fast.

Another vote for the E71 from me too - proper Business phone......
