Hello

So I'm thinking about getting mobile phones for my business, for.... well, business. My needs will be to access multiple email accounts, possible use of services like Skype or Google Hangouts, be able to sync things like calendars and contacts, have a good reliable batter (will give someone a cookie if they find one that lasts more than a day), and has decent signal, although not really too fussed on that.

Not also fussed about luxuries like Bluetooth, or a 1000 mega pixel camera, although it would be a bonus. Generally just a phone for working purposes. I've heard good things about Blackberry phones, so I'm open to suggestions with them. iPhone, Samsung I think aren't options, mainly because I see them as personal phones, and aren't very good in terms of durability and battery life.

If you happen to be from the UK, network suggestions would be a bonus too. I've had my eyes on EE and Three, but again I'm open to suggestions.



Thanks!

Blackberries are very solid devices, but the company is not anymore. Unless you are getting several 100 or 1000 for a larger group, stick with the standard Android phones or iPhones.

No phone will have very good battery life if you use them for video like Skype or online often with it. The Motorola Maxx has good battery life and those are pretty durable, but you would have a case for it anyhow so just pick a good case. You'll have to look for a used one I think now, but that just makes it that much cheaper.
