Which Phone

[Tom1977]

My company has finally listened and finally getting rid of BlackBerry's!!!!

Only trouble now is I have to choose which one to have now. Personally I'm an iPhone 6 guy but I don't want this to start off a android v's Apple argument as such.

Does anyone have any recommendations from the following:
[LIST][*]Samsung Galaxy A5[*]Samsung Galaxy S5 mini[*]HTC One mini 2[*]LG G3[*]LG G3 s[*]Sony Experia Z3 compact[*]Motorola Moto G3 Dual sim[*]Rugged Device Dual sim[/LIST]

Cost and tariffs doesn't matter as company pay EVERYTHING for us. Unlimited phone bills, data, international etc so it's just which handset as I have no experience of any of these.

Thoughts would be appreciated.

the s6 and htc m9 are out soon too. maybe worth considering.

April the Samsung S6 should be out if you can literally choose any phone..

I don't have a choice apart form that list mate, it's not just me but some 1000 people in the department so IT have came up with that list and that's it, otherwise I'd take an iphone 6 and sell my personal one :-)

[james_2k]

in that case, all i can say is, probably not this: [LIST][*]Rugged Device Dual sim[/LIST]

Personally I'd avoid the Samsung ones, no end of trouble, especially if you want to use bluetooth.

Completely not, totally the opposite mate! 8000+ employees all get free unlimited use anywhere in the world smart phone, free laptop, company credit car with 10k limit, all work gear and tools supplied, travel paid for, accomodation paid for etc etc, not a tight company at all lol

They have to stick to Android so it's compatible with the internal company IT systems. They personalize all phones with their own apps and internal connection settings etc to allow us to access ships drawings, suppliers information etc no matter where we are in the world even if we cant use our laptops.

If a phone goes tits up or laptop for example, I just hand it i and get a brand new one. Am on my 4th Sh*tBerry in 2 years haha.

So far am looking at the Galaxy S5 or Experia zs compact, but enjoying the feedback here. Will decide by tomorrow morning hopefully.

I'd go for the S5 Mini personally...

Ha we're always recruiting but it's a shipbuilding company so experience required mate.

Maybe it would be better to ask your company IT guys or whoever looks after the 8000 phone fleet, plus your colleagues of course, as they are likely to know more about your usage needs than a bunch of rc heli pilots ;)
Also hard to recommend a phone without knowing exactly what features are really important to you.

[Tom1977]

Solved, It was between the Galaxy A5 or S5 mini. The S5 mini won :)
