    Go for the best battery life phone. You may get about 30 min extra with others

    All smart phones will need charging every day, otherwise go for non smart phone.
    Also ask your staff what phones others are changing to for best bettery life and reception

    All smartphones will last around a day on a charge, the bigger screen and processors use battery more.

    Phone cutting off and reception issues are more related to the network signal strength not the phone as such, especially if it's the same phone on different networks. Iphone is not the best phone for reception but it's by no means the worst.

    Only thing you can do is find someone on each network and see who gets the best singal. Phone masts for different networks are in different locations and it could be one has a line out through a window so gets good reception, but another has to go through the entire building to the mast so has poor reception.

    The nature of a radio network means you will always get drop off in buildings, the concrete and steel construction is difficult for radio waves to penetrate, and no network will guarantee coverage indoors.

    Everyone knows the battery life is based on how much you use your phone for Internet, phone use, you tube, wifi use, 3G etc.
    If I don't use my phone much on some days than the battery last ove two days or more.

    How long have you spend taking photos and uploading them?

    Considering it is there in front of your face showing you what has been using the battery then I'm not sure why you are asking silly questions?
    Of course the Wildfire gets less useage than my personal Xperia Ray, but both get used everyday none the less (wildfire Monday to friday but on throughout the weekend) , I already mentioned when the 4s came out that colleagues were whinging about the battery life on the 4s comiing off charge and requiring a recharge before home time and the handset was just sitting on a desk, but that must have been their imagination as it made the news often enough? Perhaps the battery lasts so long because I have not gone into a frenzy and installed any anti malware? My battery life on the Ray is reduced at present as I have been playing move the box quite a lot :o

    The battery problem with the Wildfire is well known in many cases lasting few hours
