If you need to get some work done while on the go and can't be bothered to lug a laptop everywhere, consider one of these best-of-breed business phones.

Nokia E61

Score: 79% When: May 2006 Worth: €450

Nokia E61

Read the full article » The E61 does what Nokia does best: connects people. Its all-encompassing connectivity setup is exploited in full by a broad line-up of quality messaging, office and browsing applications which run in tandem with a superb screen and more than decent thumbboard. Granted, it's not among the most powerful business phones nor does it fare well in the department of synchronization - but the latter is at long last addressable by several third party solutions. Sprinkle with handy utilities, attention to detail, good battery life and a compact form factor, and you end up with a very solid business phone contender indeed. Read the full article »
Sony Ericsson M600i

Score: 84% When: July 2006 Worth: €500

Sony Ericsson M600i

Read the full article » Quite possibly the ideal size for a business phone, the Sony Ericsson M600i is but a hair's width from scoring full marks in the messaging, productivity and browsing departments, hampered only by the smaller-than-the-competition sizes of its otherwise excellent touch screen and thumbboard. It also delivers a solid impression in every other department, with the near-sole disappointment being its lack of a bundled USB cable and USB charging support. Add good battery life and nice touches such as a scroll wheel, stereo Bluetooth audio and a clever, agenda-style standby screen, and what emerges is a winning recipe. Read the full article »
O2 XDA Mini S

Score: 80% When: November 2005 (O2) Worth: €75

O2 XDA Mini S

Read the full article » Although disappointingly void of 3G connectivity, the O2 XDA Mini S performs an admirable balancing act with features on one side of the bar and size on the other. Its first-rate thumbboard joins a decent set of applications to render document management a pleasant experience, while comprehensive connectivity and excellent battery life will keep even power users connected and ticking all day long. Granted, its performance is modest and memory is limited, but neither impact the execution of common productivity tasks measurably. Read the full article »
RIM BlackBerry 8707v

When: June 2006 (Vodafone) - €200

RIM BlackBerry 8707v

Read the full article » The 8707v is RIM's first BlackBerry for Europe to feature 3G connectivity. Also: quad-band GSM, Bluetooth, a thumbboard and a landscape oriented high-resolution QVGA display. Read the full article »
O2 XDA Exec

Score: 95% When: October 2005 (O2) Worth: €800

O2 XDA Exec

Read the full article » Although the O2 XDA Exec is something of a colossus, there is no denying its wealth of functionality, power and versatility. Document management and data entry both excel due to the spacious display and thumbboard, while outstanding connectivity combines with comprehensive out-of-box synchronization options and good battery life to render it an excellent business phone.
