The figures are in for February 2012 and the top selling
business mobile phones have been compiled into a Top 10 list. Seven of the
handsets from January have remained in the list with just three new entries.
And the winner is….the Apple iPhone 4S…..again. It looks
like the new iPhone is going to be a dominant force in 2012. Whilst we’re
talking about Apple, look out for their new iPad (iPad 3) which looks likely to
be announced on the 7th March.
A surprise new entry is at 2, the Sony Ericsson Xperia Pro.
Surprising because Sony Ericsson rarely make an appearance in the Top 10 list.
The Xperia Pro has bucked the trend though, following on from its good showing
in November and December 2011.
Nokia do well with 3 entries at numbers 3, 5 and 6. They
provide solid talk and text handsets and their three phones in the list (C1-01
at 3, 6303i at 5, and C2-01 at 6) represent good value for money.
In the middle of these three is the HTC Wildfire S at number
4. This remains the most popular HTC handset for our business users giving an
Android SmartPhone for the budget conscious.
Samsung fill the next two places at 7 and 8. The B2100 is
their “tough” phone for workmen and their Samsung Galaxy Ace is similar to the
HTC Wildfire in being a good budget Android SmartPhone.
Finally BlackBerry bring up the rear at 9 and 10 with their
expensive 9780 Bold and their more budget friendly 8520 Curve.
