Do you already use a smartphone? Do you even maximize its use? Going back to the subject of such wonderful creations here’s more answers to the queries I got via email. What is the better brand, what to look for in a smart phone, which one is better for business.. today’s article will deal on the answers plus have my personal choice. I still think it’s a smart choice to have one (no pun intended!).

What to look for in a Smartphone for business?

In the past, business people were easily identifiable—they carried large briefcases, binder planners and had, yes, beepers or pagers. The scene has changed and so has the way we conduct life and business. A smartphone stores important data and docs, calendar planner, provides instant access to the net and allows you to keep in touch – calls, text or email , coworkers, friends and family – anytime and anywhere. My criteria to getting one:

Design

Size and weight, along with screen size and resolution, make a difference in the display and handling.

Multimedia

The best business cell phones have at least a 2 megapixel camera with zoom features and the ability to play and record audio and video. Smartphones act as life management devices and include organizational features like calendars and task lists. Most sync with home computers allowing for document viewing and editing.

Call Features/Quality

The foundation of business is communication, and its first function is as a cellular phone. It should include all typical cell phone features; speakerphone, three-way calling, voice dialing, call waiting, etc.

Memory/Storage

The most practical smartphones are compact, include good input and display options, and enough battery life to last through a full day’s work and beyond.

Additional Features

Many smartphones include practical tools like calculators, map applications and GPS. Some have the ability to support third-party or browser-based programs that can perform a variety of specific functions. Third- party apps are becoming a key component of a smartphone, allowing the user to customize their phones to support their lifestyles.
