iPhone

Windows Phone

Android smartphones

A general answer to your general question. Perhaps if you were more specific I could offer more insight. ;)

EDIT: That's what I get for speed reading at work, I missed the bit about Wall Street. I'd probably say iPhone. But still, why do you want to know about Wall Street specifically? Perhaps if we knew the reason for the question we could be more helpful.

i should have been more specific :D :D

so the question should have been modified to what "models" people use out there

nahhh no specific reason but wanted to know what those busy serious folks use out there or whether they follow the trend? because nowadays consumers only talk about iphone and galaxy yeah only these two lol

well, i consider myself a busy serious type and use an iPhone, it's a company issued handset.

a friend of mine who is director of a successful cloud computing consultancy runs a Nokia Windows Phone 7

Not many 'serious' people i know use BlackBerry any more unless prescribed to them by their office. The ones that do, strongly dislike them imo..

why do you care whatever the reason is going to be that i want to know about this lol wtf

because it gives context :)

ahahah maybe you should? :D :D :D

anything that you have in mind? a particular model that you wanted to purchase?

personally i have a 4, some people have a 4s.. i don't think anyone has a 5 yet.

they only get replaced if they break to be honest, maybe i'll drop mine soon :D

Because context is important when asking a question. If you want to know because you plan on working on Wall Street and want to know which device to be up-to-speed on, the answer will be <X>. If you want to know because you think Wall Street is a good indication of what makes a corporate device, the answer will be <Y>.

i think there is serious consideration to switch to WP8.

We are a Microsoft house, and everything we do from the systems we use to run our business to the solutions we provide for clients are MS based so this would make sense.

Not sure when a decision will be made though, i don't think it will be a sweeping replacement though either.. more of a 'recommended' handset, as i'm sure some people will like to hang on to their iPhones :)

I work at a major retailer which sells phones from the top three US carriers (AT&T, Verizon, and Sprint), and I'd have the say the most popular phones we sell are the Galaxy S III, iPhone 5, and iPhone 4/4s.

      Microsoft confirms Windows 11 26H2 to finally get one of the most requested features by Sayan Sen This past week Microsoft officially confirmed Windows 11 version 26H2 with the latest build, 26300.8697, for testing in the experimental Insider channel. The company also published more details about it mainly directed towards IT admins and system admins. Essentially version 26H2 will be delivered via an enablement package (eKB) over Windows 11 25H2. If you are wondering about some of the upcoming features in the next Windows version, one of them is certainly very interesting as Microsoft has confirmed it is finally bringing one of the most overwhelmingly requested features ever. March Rogers, the Partner Director of Design at Microsoft, recently highlighted some of the Search improvements that the company is testing, and during the interaction with users on X where he posted it, Rogers also confirmed that the company is working on disabling web search results inside Search. This is something which many users find quite annoying as Windows would often serve them links to Bing which it feels could be more helpful rather than bringing up the actual object or app the user may be searching for on their PC. Finally though the company is prioritizing local file search over the web. However the feature could not be disabled for many users as not all new features are immediately rolled out to everyone. Image via phantomofearth (X) Windows enthusiast phantomofearth who likes to dig deep into new builds uncovered the IDs you will need to enable these features. Using the following feature IDs the new Search-related features landing in Windows 11 26H2 can be used. Follow the steps below to enable the new Search experience on Windows 11 build 26300.8697: Download ViveTool from GitHub and unpack the files in a convenient and easy-to-find folder. Press Win + X and select Terminal (Admin). Switch Windows Terminal to the Command Prompt profile with the Ctrl + Shift + 2 shortcut or by clicking the arrow-down button at the top of the window. Navigate to the folder containing the ViveTool files with the CD command. For example, if you have placed ViveTool in C:\Vive, type CD C:\Vive. Type vivetool /enable /id: and press Enter. Restart your computer. If you change your mind and want to restore, repeat the steps above and replace /enable with /disable in the commands on steps 5 and 6. Delightedly and perhaps also expectedly, once you disable web search and other such bloat, the Windows 11 Search is said to get snappier as remarked by another Windows enthusiast Xeno.
