Five Best QWERTY phones for Business Purposes and More
Mobile phones with a QWERTY keypad are best known for its business like looks and often times they have very good business environment inside it that makes handling email, messages, social networks very convenient and relatively easy.
What features to look in a Business Phone?
Although in my previous post – Which Smartphone to choose – HTC, Nokia or BlackBerry? I have already mentioned what features are needed in a business phone but still have a glance.
- A good processor for processing files
- A good Operating system to handle daily demands
- Customized and personalized social networking integrating application
- Support for PDF and Word Documents editor and viewer
- Good camera optics for scanning business cards and other important documents
- Messaging applications, QWERTY keypad or tailored apps like Swype to type messages and emails quick
These were some of the thing that I feel are really necessary in any handset; following is a list of best QWERTY mobile phones that I found in the market. These mobile phones are under Rs. 20000 and the range starts from Rs. 11000.
I know you people love the BlackBerry but please also consider other phones as well, they can also make something beneficial.

When we are talking about QWERTY and business mobile phone this is the best brand in any case, it has integrated email and social networking options that will make vividly attract you.

Alright, I know this phone is looking real bulky but it is unique, it is not like regular mobile phone, although its features are quite identical to other Motorola mobile phone in this range – Motorola Quench XT 3 but still it has a backtrack Optical keypad for using the cursor. Its QWERTY keys are nicely placed as well.

The new Nokia E series doesn’t just have touchscreen smartphones like Nokia C7 or Nokia C6 but also has very good QWERTY mobile phone including Nokia C3 – A phone for just social networking and the one we are reading at the moment i.e. Nokia E5. Nokia E5 smartphone from Nokia is a copy of Nokia E71 in design but it lacks a metallic back.
Other than that it is now attested with a 5MP fixed-focus camera with dual LED flash lights. Good for business people who like blogging or photo blogging. Do you like phone photography?

This QWERTY phone with business phone like looks needs no introduction; it has been in market for more than 3 years now. It may be old but it is still dominating choices, whenever someone is looking to buy a new business phone he is advised to buy this one.

Like Motorola Charm it has multiple input methods, you can use the touchscreen as an input or the slide-out QWERTY keypad whose keys are well placed thus making it easier to type long messages. It operates on BADA Operating System which possibly the next big thing because Samsung is putting in millions of dollars to create a dedicated application store for it.
Features de Samsung Wave 533 (S5330)
- TFT Capacitive touchscreen, 3.2 inches in size with Accelerometer sensor for auto-rotate
- Slide-out QWERTY keypad for typing messages and emails
- 3.5mm audio jack for music (MP3/WAV/eAAC+) and videos (MP4/H.263/H.264)
- 3.15MP camera with Geo-tagging and support video recording at 15 fps
- Runs on Bada OS, memory up to 16GB
Although this QWERTY keypad phone is not a business phone and share many similarities with Samsung Monte but still in the price range of under Rs. 10000. It is real good stuff.
Price of Samsung Wave 533 (S5330) in India – Rs. 8,500
Which QWERTY mobile phone for Business would I choose?
Well I would certainly go for either Samsung Wave 533 because I like Bada, it has a lot of Games and I trust Samsung or I would go for BlackBerry Curve because I don’t support Nokia. I have had many problems with their cell phone before.
I tried to make this post neutral so choose well.

Can u list out few pts as to why samsung wave not business phone ?
And i totally agree its worth the price!
Because Bada OS doesn’t have must integrated Office Apps, it doesn’t have quick typing options to type emails and send messages as well.
But for its price i say its worth!
Yes sure, It is worth purchasing that is why i listed it. I would have gone for it if i had not bought samsung monte but at this moment i could have earned a lot more and would have been able to buy Samsung Galaxy 3.

Go for any BlackBerry QWERTY Smartphone that fits your budget.
Sir,
I want to buy a cell within Rs.20000, android and front camera are the two specifications i m looking for. i didnt like htc chacha, can u suggest me any other cell with all the given specifications !!
What about HTC Salsa?
I’m lookin’ for an android mobile with qwerty keypad… budget is approx 15000-17000Rs. and primary features what I need are >3.2Mp cam, 720p@30fps vid recordin’ if possible (Well I’m an architect student so I need a good cam quality and vid also.. and music too coz I like switching on to headphones while designin’n sketchin’…!!) Suggest me one apart from samsung sets… Touch screen should be good user friendly… I prefer Capacitive type… Thanks
Cam resolution should be atleast 3.2MP ‘n if its 5MP that will be great as there won’t be a need of carryin’ digicam in class…!
I would like to buy a business phone with the following features:
1. Good Document editor(Word, excel, Powerpoint)
2. Good Calender facilities
3. Good Maps with Compass
Hey Annamalai,
BlackBerry is the answer, go with the cheap one BlackBerry Curve 8520 or a little costlier one BlackBerry Curve 9300 and forget your email and documents problems. These two Smartphone are best for business apps, you would love them.
Hope that helps. Any more questions?
Regards,
Rakesh

You can buy it second hand or from some retailer that might have a few pieces left.
You can buy second hand Smartphones from eBay.

Can u suggest me a QWERTY with above features at around 10K price range
Thanx
Nokia E5 is a fine phone, it can handle basic office jobs properly, besides you can test it at nearest croma or reliance store.
Check out Motorola Fire XT311 as well.
help me find a phone
blackberry 8520 or 9780.
buget. bet 15~20k
Go for BlackBerry Curve 9350. Would you like to buy online?
Hi Rakesh,
Can you suggest the best qwerty phones with pushmail with a range of 15-20k that could open attachments and match the comfort of a BB. Is Motorola Droid 3 or 4 works on GSM? What about BB 9790?
Kindly guide..Tx
Sony Ericsson Xperia Pro is a good QWERTY Android Smartphone but it won’t be as comfortable as a BlackBerry.
Motorola Droid 3 is a GSM phone.
BB Bold 9790 is terrific, a powerful processor and BB 7 OS. After a few months, it would get upgraded to BB 8 OS.
Hi! Rakesh pls, suggest me about motorola xprt cellphone pls..
Thank you
Boss I want to buy a smartphone (business pone) within 15000, please suggest me one with excellent messaging, dox & pdf editor. Am currently using Nokia E72 which by far has the W O R S T camera/ messaging/ features.
Thanks mate.

Mobile for business is a must! You never leave home without your keys, wallet or mobile phone and 2.3 hours of your work day is spent using this technology on line, even though your boss doesn’t allow it.
It’s very important to stay updated about your business all the time.
