Best Smartphones choices for Webmasters

As a webmaster, your job doesn’t stop at five everyday. In reality, your job goes on around the clock. If you are like most webmasters and run more than one blog or web site, then you know all too well that it seems like as soon as you check one task off of your to-do list, you have to add five more to it.

Since your livelihood revolves around being able to connect to the Internet, you probably already have at least one desktop and laptop (if not multiple ones of each). However, you simply can’t sit behind a computer twenty-four hours a day. Whether you are running an errand or going out to dinner, there are going to be times when you don’t have a computer and keyboard at your fingertips. Fortunately, this doesn’t mean that you have to settle for being disconnected. With a smartphone, you can always be confident that you have access to the things that are most important to you. To help you make the best decision, we have evaluated and compiled a list of the top five smartphones for webmasters:

1. Apple iPhone: Regardless of how you feel about Apple products in general, there is no denying that they have created a great device with the iPhone. From IMAP email support to multiple applications that give you a rich Twitter experience (including Tweetie and Twitterific), you won’t have any trouble managing your webmaster duties on the go.
2. RIM BlackBerry Bold: If you have to do a lot of typing as a part of your webmaster duties, you will probably like the easy to use keyboard of the BlackBerry Bold. Additional features that webmasters will appreciate include fast performance, Wi-Fi capabilities and the ability to edit files directly on this device.
3. Nokia E71: Although it’s not cheap, the Nokia E71 packs a lot of power into a compact device. With email that is easy to setup and a Nokia browser that supports JavaScript, webmasters who are interested in keeping an eye on their web sites while they are away from their computer should be pleased with what this smartphone can do.
4. Samsung Omnia: In addition to the standard features that you would expect from a quality smartphone, the Samsung Omnia also offers an impressive five megapixel camera. While you may not think of taking pictures as one of your primary webmaster duties, you never know when you may see something that you want to snap a picture of, add to your Flickr account and then post on one of your blogs or web sites.
5. HTC Touch Diamond: Although the HTC brand may not be as well known as the other four brands on this list, they do make quality smartphones, and the Touch Diamond is no exception. With the 4GB of storage provided by this smartphone, you can actually take important documents or files with you when you are on the go (this can be great if you are meeting up with a fellow webmaster and want to compare notes on a specific project).
