Best Business Phone Available Today?

Hi

Just at the end of my contract and looking for a new deal and, of course, a new phone.

Does anyone want to put forward what they think is the best phone for business use currently on Contract at a reasonable (i.e. free or close to) price...? i.e. not PDA, not expensive...

Business phone means that I don't really care much whether it has a camera, or video, or MP3, radio, games or anything like that - what I like is Bluetooth, easy synchronisation, usability, clarity of call and longevity of battery...

Thanks

  • Two interesting choices, I guess.

    The SE is a good option, but seems to be too PDA for my liking (i.e. I want synchronisation, but essentially just for calendar and contacts - I don't want to receive email or use it as a PDA)

    Secondly, the Blackberry seems to be 'Vodafoned'. I hate that - the way that VF forces you to use all their crummy services. O2 seem much more enlightened. Also, how does the charging for web browsing work with the Blackberry... you've got your Xnet minutes and texts... but how do you pay for Internet access??

    Thanks

    You use GPRS, where you only pay for downloading data, ie you pay to download a webpage onto your screen, but you can read it for aslong as you want.

    You can get "add on's" to your price plan for something like £5 a month you can get 3mb worth of internet use.
