I actually quite like my windows phone, Lumia 930, but then I just use it for phone email messaging photos etc and not big on apps or games.

I was heartbroken when my 10-year-old BlackBerry gave up the ghost a few months ago. Until I discovered that you could get a mint one for £25 on eBay.
I'm told that some people have phones that need charging more than once a week.

You should come work at the company I collaborate with, company pays for everybody, including the cleaners, and their other halves as well as kids to stay at a wellness hotel for a long weekend, every year. Quarterly bonus and an extra months salary at the end of the year. I kid you not. It isn't in the UK though. Sounds like the boss of your company still has a thing or two to learn about how to get the best out people who work for them

We have some Wi-Fi Cisco phones at work, as 'mobiles' (VOIP. if that's still the term?, for internal landlines)
The mobiles will ring in the lifts. but can't be answered
Most annoying, & makes you look ignorant, or a chump, because you don't/can't answer them

It's a bit more complicated than that...
It's probably not the bosses, but the IT security folk. Like lawyers they typically do not understand the concept of tolerating a certain level of risk, but prefer to nail everything down. I find myself reminding both species that a world with zero risk tolerance is a world without any customers.

My company is currently rolling out Windows phones. So my current job is to upgrade each phone to the latest Windows phone update, install Skype and Company Portal (this needs a windows account and you can only have 10 phones per account. And no you cant remove the phones from the account, but you can remove the account from the phone). This needs to be done 200 times.
After the phone have been upgraded and the software installed. The SIMs need to be installed and the mobile phone company need to move the number to the new phone, if we send more than 20 numbers it takes 72hrs, less than 20 number it takes 24hrs. So we send them a list of 19 number. But send them 11 lists.

There's a rather splendid Dilbert where the security guy, portrayed as a demon, say that in and ideal world no-one would be allowed to access any systems at all.
That said, as and IT guy myself, I was often piggy in the middle between the security or fraud guys who would demand references from at least the Archbishop of Cantebury for each individual customer before allowing them credit but only if backed by the Bank of England, and the marketeers who thought we could just sell it to anyone on the internet on the basis of an honesty box left in the staff canteen. And somehow it was IT not meeting their requirments but hey ho; if it was easy a boy could do it, and they wouldn't need me to sort it out.

Thats where I keep mine. Doesn't really make much difference as the tech department tend to use a common hard drive we all have access to anyway.
I miss my old Motorola flip phone. Compact enough to fit in a jeans pocket and easily answered by flipping it open.

Are you sure you're answering the phone and suffering from mistaken identity...
Why didn't he press the puppy before answering it?
