Hello All
My question is...Are I-Phones any good?
BACKGROUND TO QUESTION
Call me old but I see mobile phones as, err a phone, not a toy, not a status symbol, but a phone.
I and our staff use them every day to call mostly each other, and take pics and send MSM and that’s about it. We secured back in 2006 a very good deal with Telstra that allows us to call each other free for 10 minutes, so the phones are used like walky-talkies.
WHY I ASK?
In Jan we are up for contract renewal and have avoided all attempts to move from Nokia handsets (had a Sony once, urgh!) but with this renewal the latest Apple I-Phone has been offered.
So my question is...Are I -Phone any good?
PROS AND CONS?
What are the pros and cons? Are the robust? Are they simply toys staff will overuse allowances with (internet, emails) and then have to pay us back - aka Issues?
Or are they great advance in communication that one you have you never go back? Apps are great and as tool very useful?
SHOULD I STAY NOKIA
The alternative we liked is a Nokia E71 - essentially a black berry copy. It is emails ability we are considering. But it does not have free Wi-Fi (I am told) so it could easily use up allowance downloading. It also costs more to get – not free.
What are your thoughts/experience especially with staff use.
