Workaholics Media Mavens Shutterbugs Swiss Army Phone

Remember George Clooney in "Up in the Air"? That's these folks. Their phone needs hardcore email powers (a.k.a., BlackBerry or Microsoft Exchange) and the ability to run business applications.

This selection of devices encompasses the best of the best when it comes to modern smartphones. This year we picked a handful of phones that all have productivity-enhancing QWERTY keyboards, in addition to robust operating systems, bodacious browsers, and good looks to boot. Corporate email support is mandatory, as is access to company-wide calendar and contact data. These phones don't slouch when it comes to downtime, either. They all include great media players, cameras, and have access to rich app stores. For the mobile pro on your shopping list who needs that business brawn mixed with light-hearted entertainment, these should fit the bill.
