With today’s now large range of mobile and cell phones it can be hard deciding what cell phone is right for you. So how do you decide? Do you go into a store and pick something that looks pretty? Do you search the internet and read all as many reviews as possible?
The reality is, no matter what you prefer to do, cell phones are become ‘our life’ in more ways than one. So really having the ‘right’ cell phone to fit your needs is becoming essential to the way we work on a daily basis. This is where a cell phone comparison suited to different groups of people really comes into play.
Today all I am going to do is compare three phones for a business person. This essentially means someone who needs their cell phone for receiving and making calls (of course), but also primarily for email, notifications and reminders of appointments, something like a computer in your hand.
The three business cell phones I will compare are the Nokia E71, the oh so popular iPhone 3Gs and a typical Blackberry Bold 9000.
So firstly as these business cell phones need to basically be small computers the main thing I am concerned about is the difference in keyboards. A QWERTY keyboard option really is a must for a cell phone in business; trying to type an email with 8 buttons for 26 characters really isn’t ideal.
The Nokia E71 and the Blackberry Bold 9000 both have qwerty keyboards, although the qwerty keys on both models seem tiny and look impossible to use, but surprisingly once you start to use it the keys are quite easy to type on, especially with the Nokia E71, making this keyboard a positive for use as a business cell phone.
The iPhone 3Gs also does include the option of a qwerty keyboard, but because the iPhone 3Gs is touch screen, for most the other keyboards were a preferred option, although of course because the iPhone 3Gs does have the ability to swap keyboards it can be quite user friendly.
The next problem business cell phones face is email on the device. Email on your iPhone 3Gs is surprisingly very easy to set up, especially if your computer is an apple mac. But even if you use outlook the iPhone 3Gs is all about being user friendly. The Nokia E71 and the Blackberry Bold 9000 on the other hand are both made for email and have easy wizards on the handset to help you set that up but it seems to be just that extra little step in setting it up.
The last problem with a business cell phone is its ability to be user friendly. Nokia is a common phone model and if you are familiar with a Nokia you will really love this handset. Blackberry still has some users following it, but seems to be limiting itself and the Nokia E71 has started to overtake the blackberry market.
The iPhone 3Gs on the other hand has the ability to really do whatever you want. Just find and download the application and you are off. The business owners of today are saying it is the best phone they have ever had. But really the business question is… will you be able to handle the sometimes annoying touch screen, because honestly it really isn’t for everyone.
All in all, all three of these phones are great examples of some of the brilliant business cell phones out there today and honestly no matter what you choose the reality is it will haunt you day in and day out for the rest of your ‘phones life’, because in this modern era, cell phones are a large part of our daily life.
