Is the iPhone 5 a "Must Have" for Business

Let me start off by pointing out the increasing number of mobile computing platforms available to consumers today.  The platforms are improving year over year but are they being utilized?  The new iPhone 5 has some nice features, but it doesn't justify changing platforms if you are accustomed to Android for instance.  The phone just does not have any "Must Have" features.  Lets consider some of the changes in these technologies and how they may influence buisness phone upgrade decisions.  First thing I would consider is the need for 4G service.  Does your buisness need to download large pdf files?  Do you need to upload video or detailed pictures to your website?  Do you need to have these speeds anywhere and on the go?  If you answered yes to any one of these questions then you might want to consider 4G and I would consider Verizon as your service provider. 

Want to switch from Android? Then you might first consider what apps are needed and if they are available on the Apple App Store.  Also the Apps may behave differently on iOS. So keep all this in mind when you start discussing terms with your service provider.  It may be new and improved, but it might not be time for you to spend capital on an iPhone 5 upgrade just yet.
