Ain't that the truth....

I love that threat :D

Ok guys, what would be the best reason not to buy an iPhone for my small business? You can't reply:


Because I actually don't care :lol:

BB really don't do it for me, they just look too serious and too boring. I don't wear suits, at least not everyday.

HTC, well I'm not sure about the overall quality of the thingies.

Depends if you want to send lots of emails Tonio, touchscreen isn't the way ahead for typing IMO I've used the iPhone and the BB Storm and compared to a keyboard I can type probably 5-10 emails before I complete one on a touchscreen.

Copy/Paste - You don't realise how useful that is until you don't have it

Inability to switch applications on an iPhone, so for example you are replying to an email and need to add someone's contact details from your contacts, you can't save the email and again no copy/paste to add them.

Got to agree Tonio. No matter what manufacturer a device with a keyboard makes things a lot easier when typing emails. I'd say having a device with a touch screen AND a keyboard makes things even more easier, especially when you're cutting and pasting email addresses or phone numbers.


Absolutely.


The HTC devices with a keyboard and touchscreen would appear to suit the majority of your requirements. Battery life is an issue though, you'll be recharging it every night like I do mine. I use mine for browsing sports websites, java based gmail client, outlook mail (work), googlemaps, reading word/powerpoint/excel docs and a few other things.

At least I got you both to agree on something :lol:

And I must say you guys are a lot more convincing when you agree ;)

That may as well be German, I work for me from home and have one BT e-mail address :)

It may have got lost in the posts above but did you see my response to your 'pain' ? This:

I can make it German if it helps!

Buy a device, I'll say BlackBerry as I can walk you through the process, turn it on it'll ask you for your email account and password etc and voila it'll connect to your BT mailbox and start displaying the headers of each mail.

You can add 10 mail accounts to the device they can be POP3 like your BT mail, GMail, Hotmail, Yahoo etc etc

Giza bell if you need any more info.

Yeh got that now, its better ta :)

Still gonna change it for a normal phone with a normal keyboard, may as well sell it if anyone wants it ;)
