The business community has been using Smartphones for awhile now, example Blackberry. With the new crop of Smartphones like the iPhone and Samsung Instinct, many small business owners can also get work done on the go. Since I live in Canada the iPhone was not an option as the cell company Rogers has a monopoly on the phone, and very expensive data rates.  The only other choice I had was either go with a Blackberry also more expensive for data or get a Samsung Instinct. The prices offered by Bell Canada for this phone were very reasonable. The data plan was only $10.00 for unlimited mobile browsing and I added a cheap $20.00 phone plan as I do not use my cell for to many calls. The data plan was what I wanted and the price was right. The Samsung Instinct has a limited browser, you can see full HTML pages just not like the iPhone. The other problem with the phone is that some web sites crash the browser and it restarts the phone. Other then that the phone work great and has many features. This phone allows me to check my email and update some of my blogs while I am out. Since I do not need to look for a wi-fi spot this has saved me a great amount of time.

If you have a business that depends on the Internet or email then get a good Smart phone it will save you a great amount of time. Having the Internet on my phone has also saved me money when shopping, I can look up a price and know right away if the store is giving me a deal or not.  As a Canadian I sure do hope more cell phone companies startup  as Rogers has the only GSM network. If we get a second company with GSM then prices might go down and Apple might ditch the evil Rogers.
