Best cell phones for business
Top 10 handsets for you to use at your work
Once upon a time there was only one firm on the lips of any business' IT team when it came to company phones – BlackBerry.
A lot has changed since then and BlackBerry's fortunes have taken a turn for the worse, leaving the door wide open for rivals to court the enterprise business.
Now the rest of the pack is hot on its heels, if not already overtaking it, with the likes of Apple, Samsung, Nokia and HTC all vying for a piece of the business pie.
This is great for any potential business buyer, as you now have a wide choice of handsets to choose from, allowing you to select the best phones for your company's requirements.
Your smartphone is an indispensable business tool. It lets you stay in contact with employees, colleagues and collaborators. It helps you plan your workday and schedule meetings, and it enables you to stay productive all day long, even when you're away from the office. That's why it's important to pick a good phone — but to do that, you'll have to navigate through a minefield of mediocre devices.
Now lets see 10 options of different handsets you can buy for business uses:
1. HTC One M8
The new HTC One M8 is one of the fastest business phones around. But what really makes it stand out is its premium metal design.
The full HD, 5-inch display is beautiful to look at and the punchy quad-core processor and 2GB of RAM ensures you'll never be short of power.

2. Samsung Galaxy Note 4

Samsung's Note line of phablets are also the only smartphones in the U.S. that come with a built-in stylus. Just pull out the stylus from its slot — or hover the tip near the display and press the single button located on its side — to access the compact Action Menu.

3. iPhone 6/iPhone 6 Plus
Apple's new iPhone comes in two sizes, giving you all the perks of iOS, but with more screen space to work on. The iPhone 6 packs a 4.7-inch display, while the iPhone 6 Plus features a huge 5.5-inch screen. Screen size aside, the phones are nearly identical. Both dwarf the cramped 4-inch screen on previous versions, and both include Apple's new, blazing-fast A8 processor for faster performance and snappier multitasking.

4. Moto X (2014)
It has the same name as last year's version, but the updated Moto X has tons of new tricks up its sleeve. For starters, the phone sports a big 5.2-inch display that makes the 4.7-inch screen on the original Moto X look puny. That's a plus for business users who want a little extra screen real estate for serious work. The 2014 Moto X also offers an updated version of Motorola's always-listening voice commands: now you can use any spoken phrase you want to wake your phone up before issuing a command, even when the display is turned off. That means you can take a note, set a reminder or retrieve turn-by-turn directions, all hands-free.

5. Samsung Galaxy S5
If Samsung's 5.7-inch Note 4 is too big for you to handle, the Galaxy S5 packs most of the same features into a smaller package. The device sports a super-sharp 5.1-inch display, and it's one of the fastest smartphones around.
The Samsung Galaxy S5 has more features than you can shake a stick at, from a fingerprint scanner on the front to a heart rate monitor on the rear.
