Although perhaps still not as common place in the office as a desktop phone, more and more employees are being issued company smartphones than ever before. Today there are millions of work-related, company owned smartphones in use. These mobile work phones are constantly on the go and more often than not end up taking the brunt of drops, bangs and knocks on a daily basis. So much so, that most companies tend to replace their arsenal of smartphones every 2 or 3 years, which means disposing of the old ones.
