Today's smartphones may have a strong emphasis on entertainment, but business users shopping for a phone are more interested in productivity and communications features.
If you're using a smartphone for business, tasks such as accessing e-mail while away from the office and the ability to work remotely are important.
With this in mind, a business smartphone needs strong text input, the latest wireless connectivity and plenty of storage. We round up the best business smartphones from top brands including Apple, Nokia, HTC, BlackBerry and Samsung.

RIM's latest BlackBerry Bold remains a great business smartphone and is a sleeker and more compact device than the original Bold. The compact size results in a smaller keyboard and display, though, which power users may not appreciate. There is plenty to like about the BlackBerry Bold 9700, but RIM hasn't offered anything innovative in this release.
