Quickbooks + Typepad = Small Business Blogging
I have a simple phone, it's a Razr. Call me old fashioned! ;) My son, however, has been dying to get an iPhone. I have tried to explain to him that there is a certain amount of money that goes with that. If he can afford it, it's his money. But I told him not to expect me to pay anything! I can tell you though that if I am out of the office, it usually means that I am in meetings or meeting a client or investor for lunch. There is nothing more rude than for people to pick up their phones and text or check emails while in a meeting or a business lunch. I, for one, will wait until I get back to the office. I know for some they work great because they are literally out all day, but not worth the added cost here and I have much better things to spend my rebate check on! Great post!!

iPhone: I Don't Think So
That's a great post Nichelle. There are lots of phones out there that have a many or all of the Iphone features for less money. For example, the Verizon LG. Businesses should focus on the features they need. Common features that are useful to businesses are ability to send and receive email, on phone navigation and text messaging. Do businesses need to play MP3s and take videos? Maybe, but the point is - businesses should decide in advance what features they need in a wireless phone - not decide on the phone and then justify the features!
