A smart-phone is a mobile phone that provides advanced personal computer capabilities and functionality. The only ones that you should own should run complete operating system software providing a standardized interface and platform for new applications. They should include full featured internet and email capabilities with the functionality of a complete personal organizer.  Their contact management capability should allow your smart phone to hold about 5,000 contacts.  It should also include an additional interface such as a miniature QWERTY keyboard, a touch screen or a D-Pad, a built-in camera, an acelerometer, built-in navigation hardware and software, the ability to read business documents, media software for playing music, browsing photos and viewing video clips, internet browsers or even just secure access to company mail.   Also look for e-book reader capabilities, and/or a built-in full keyboard or external USB keyboard and VGA Connector.   In short you want a miniature computer that has phone capability.

There has been an increasing growth in demand for ever advanced mobile devices boasting powerful processors, abundant memory, larger screens and open operating systems for several years.  The challenge for all business people is to keep up with the advancements and the new applications.

Do you need one?  Success in business means keeping in regular contact with your corporate associates and your customers; it means having access to the best information available so that you can make the best decisions and communicate those decisions to others in your company.  It will allow you to keep pace with others that do have this capability and will give you an absolute advantage over those that do not.  You need a smart phone.

We are not going to recommend a particular phone; we will let the market place to that.  The top five sellers are Smybian, RIM Blackberry, Apple iPhone, Windows Mobile, and Google Android.  I own one of the above and would not want to be without it.
