Part Iii - What Do You Most Look For When choosing A firm Cell Phone (eg Smart Phone, Pda)?

Here's the 3rd and final installment of answers to the demand I asked of a large company networking society recently..... "What features/factors do you think most foremost when choosing a company cell phone....and why?"

Read on for last shot at enlightenment ( and maybe a smile or 2).

* "In my case I would put the features in the following order:

- full keyboard (sometimes soft-one is ok)

- Umts (for roaming)

- good email client

- battery

- touch screen

- Gps (when renting a car)

- Usb charger "

* "Here's my easy list:

1) easy to call

2) sync with outlook .... And remember the milk

2) wlan"

* "First and foremost, the phone features must be good (calling, receiving calls, listening to messages..). For me, all other features are just an add-on.

If a phone cannot phone, then it is just a bad mini computer."

* "Ability to run software that can connect to my company's email client server. Our Nokia E-Series phones can run various client, including Blackberry Client and other base company email client servers."

* "For me and my business, first and foremost, I need to have:

- Reliability of signal

- Clear calls

- Strong battery

When I'm on the go, having the following allows me to stay in touch with clients:

- Well-organized sense application

- literally accessible calendar application

- Good email function

- Good connectivity with the web

- Qwerty keyboard for easy entrance for my emails

Honestly, the rest is bells & whistles, and while they are fun, it's not essential.

I see the phone is first and foremost a phone. "

* "For me it has been the Nokia E series T111, majorly because of the data entrance speed. Currently I am finding at Htc. other to a look out for is the Sony Ericsson Xperia X1. "

* "Will it look like a calculator on the side of my head when I am using it."

* "I use the 8525 and I find it to be a very efficient tool in my daily working life. I can check and write emails, edit excel spreads, and Telnet in and work on the ideas as need be from my phone. The big display with easy to use Windows functionality makes this phone one of the best for business."

* "We use a Sprint BlackBerry 8830 World Edition phone. It is invaluable as we use BlackBerry instant messaging daily, especially for communicating during events. The plan package also includes tethering to your computer (Pc or mac!), for use as a data card. We use Rackspace to contribute exchange and BlackBerry exchange Server functions. It has flawless synchronization with email, calendar, contacts, tasks and notes. Once you add additional (free) applications such as Vigo (mobile Rss reader), Google Maps, Beyond 411, the 'Berry becomes an addiction. Did I mention that it has
a Sim card slot for use internationally?"

* " I use the Samsung Sch-i760 on Verizon because it runs Windows and has a full keyboard (slider). I think Blackberry and Palm leave a lot to be desired from a software standpoint. I used a xV6700 for 2 years and it was good for the same reasons as the Samsung. But the Samsung is much smaller/sleeker and has best performance. I did try a Treo running Windows and the keyboard was too small for me to use comfortably."

* "We are real estate brokers. We have to be mobile... And the phone is one of our very most foremost tools.

July 1, 2008 in California ..... If you don't have a phone with voice activated dialing you will be breaking the law dialing by hand while you are driving. So I went into my local Verizon store and bought a top of the line Bluetooth headset. I asked them to hook it up to my Treo 750 ... Only 3 months old ... And to my surprise ... My phone does not retain Voice Activated Dialing.

So now I'm getting ready to trade up to a Blackberry Pearl 8130.

My list would be:

1. Voice Activated Dialing with Bluetooth

2. Stable operating platform compatible with any 3rd party software you
need.

3. Ease of use... Ergonomic keyboard and good visibility in all lighting

4. Exquisite buyer service for when it fails... They all do. "

* "The most foremost features for me are:

- A large screen for web browsing.

- Office and Pdf documents viewing.

- Bluetooth file exchange to send and receive documents, contacts, and large files like videos (I find this to be the iPhones main limitation).

- Gps receiver to save time when finding directions.

- E-mail, Sms, Mms (the lack of Mms is an other big iPhone limitation)

- Good battery life.

- 3G or Edge to browse the web and download e-mails quickly.

- SyncMl ability to synchronize the address book, calendar and tasks with an online organizer automatically.

Finally, I think its very foremost to have good user-friendly software that lets you entrance every phone function without having to go through too many menus."

* "I literally like my At&T Tilt. It has a qwerty keyboard. Runs Windows. It has the 3G high speed Internet. So I can do email and browse the web very quickly. It also has pocket versions of word, excel, etc...

It has a pretty good camera built in but I rarely use it.

I'm always on it doing email, or on the phone. It's a very smart device. I literally don't use my notebook much anymore. "

* "Besides Pda-type functionality like integration with email & calendar applications, I prefer a top-flight phone without a camera. Many companies prohibit visitors from bringing in cameras, which could mean leaving your phone at the front desk as you head in for a meeting. A company phone is no good if you can't take it with you."

* "In my opinion, the singular most foremost factor in choosing a company cell phone is comprehension your company objectives. If your company is not reliant on email then a Pda with real time email entrance will not advantage you one iota. If your company requires instant communication, you will need
push to talk and Sms. One must know what One seeks when finding into any company purchase but particularly its computing devices. In the mobile industry, it is easy to get distracted by the bells and whistles of unnecessary features.

The gadget which meets my needs is the Palm Treo because I need ease of use, voice quality, instant email and trustworthy battery. It is also a very beneficial gadget for 3rd party applications and has a great retain team behind it.

That's it folks ... The end of our 3 part series on what to look for in company cell phones (smart phones and Pdas). Hopefully you saw something that turned a light on for your next company phone...and maybe made you chuckle a bit too.

Senior Cell Phone? A tell of The JitterBug Cell Phone

If you're looking to buy a senior cell phone you should
definitely give the JitterBug Cell phone a try. If you have
a senior who has sworn off cell phones because of the
increasing complexity and confusing array of options, the
when you buy the JitterBug phone they're in for a big
surprise. Let's run down the benefits of the JitterBug cell
phone.

The JitterBug is designed with big, intriguing buttons, backlit
for optimal viewing by anything short of legally blind. My
vision isn't the greatest, and I have no trouble whatsoever
viewing the screen in any circumstances, (unless I forgot
where I put it!) The text that appears onscreen is just as
large, as is the JitterBug itself, making it easier to use
and tougher to lose! The earpiece has a big rubber upholstery to
accommodate hearing aids. The sound on a JitterBug cell phone
is crystal clear, and can be cranked up quite loud. These
phones are made by Samsung, so there is no lack in cellular
technology.

Trouble Hearing On My Sprint Lg Cell Phone

One of the coolest things about the JitterBug cell phone is
that it comes ready to use. You can even have JitterBug pre-
programmed with up to 15 numbers of your choice. It even
comes equipped with something that's nearly a things of the
past: a dial tone! There is a JitterBug operator standing by
at all times, and you can even have them place calls for you
if you like. (Don't do that often, however, as you use up
five minutes of your prepaid time each time!)

Probably the only selection that could conceivably scare off
anyone is the voice-mail option. Sometimes the understanding of
confusing voice mail menus scare off even the younger set,
but JitterBug makes it a breeze. Every selection on the voice
mail is a yes or no question, and even the most
technologically challenged among us can reply a few
yes/no questions!

Battery life is good, a wholesome 3+ hours of continuous talk
time. But what senior cell phone is going to be in use that
long?? Not many, I'd bet. The phone does let you know when
the battery is getting low with a beep and a text message.

These JitterBug cell phones come with prepaid cell plans
though the Sprint Wireless Network, and many improvements
are scheduled down the road. All in all, if you were to buy
the JitterBug cell phone as an reply for you senior cell
phone issues, I think you'd be most pleased.

Sanyo Pro 700 - Looking For a Rugged Phone? Try This

In the history of every company, there are a few dates that are special. For Sprint, they hope that June 15, 2008 was one of those days. On that day QChat went live across the nation. It was the first tangible step to try to bridge the deteriorating gap between iDEN and CDMA customers. The Sanyo Pro 700 became an important piece to this puzzle.

The Sanyo Pro 700 has a rugged exterior and a no-frills appearance that will be the choice of many iDEN customers. The Pro 700 is not a hybrid device as was seen in times past. The cell phone is certified to the specification of the Military 810F for shock, dust and vibration. It will be the very first non-Motorola phone to offer Nextel Direct Connect or NDC. Some of its other features include a QVGA display, EVDO Rev and GPS. When you purchase a Sanyo Pro 700 you will find the following:

Design

The Pro 700 is a rugged, no frills device. Most of the cell phone is coated in black rubber. The front display is surrounded by bright milled aluminum. That makes it a sharp contrast between both of the materials. The black hex nuts, which may very well be fake, that hold the housing serves to enhance the ruggedness of the Pro 700. The rubbery finish and narrow design give this cell phone a much better feel sort of like that of a rugged KRZR.

The display along with its milled housing dominates the flip's front when the Pro 700 is closed. The external display is perfectly suited for the outdoors since it is a high contrast black and white. There are several different options of this cell phone. However, the numbers are all black and large and are set on a white background. Both above and below the displays sit the Sanyo and Sprint logos screen printed on the aluminum. The flip part of the phone is shorter than its overall length. You can see the large speaker sitting on a RAZR-like hump.

Along the left side of this cell phone from top to bottom is the NDC button, the volume rocker and a covered micro USB port. The right side of the cell phone features a covered headset jack, the side end key and the speakerphone toggle. The keys of the Sanyo Pro 700 are quite rubbery which seems to make them a bit sticky and easy to use. The right side features a covered headset jack, a side end key and a speakerphone toggle. There is a blue backlight which is featured on the Pro 700 cell phone. It blinks to alert its user of a missed NDC call. This is cool detail to have on a cell phone!

The back of the Sanyo Pro 700 is quite plain and is made up almost entirely of the battery door. There is an NDC sticker that you will see on the battery door. Due to the fact that the "NDC" is not printed on the cell phone seems to be a low-quality move on an otherwise high quality cell phone. Near the bottom of the cell phone's door is a sliding lock that will keep the cover in place.

The Sanyo Pro 700 seems to be a very well designed cell phone. It will not win any awards for beauty. However, it will win the respect of many Nextel users and that is what Sprint had in mind.
