Choosing work phone

Starting at a boutique soon and have pretty much a free choice on what to choose as my work phone, which also can be used as a personal phone.

I already have a iPhone 6, so I dont know whether I would want another one. Otherwise thinking of going for a BB, how is the Q10? Or should I just have two iPhones? Any advice? #firstworldproblems

Since you can use your work phone as your personal phone, why not use your personal phone as your work phone? Or does your work not allow BYOD?

I'd be interested in hearing people's thoughts on non-iPhone smartphones. I need a new phone and am getting a little tired of iPhones-they began to piss me off when the 5(?) came out with the new plug and I had to buy 10 new plugs to disperse throughout my life and now the phone jack has shit the bed on 3 of my phones in ~2 years-,but all of the devices I have both personally and for work are Apple (multiple laptops, iPads, iPhones, everything's on iTunes & iPhoto, Notes, the dozens of apps I have etc) so the ease of iCloud and syncing it with all of my devices is paramount.

Any opinions on non-iPhones? Is it a pain to transition to an Android or Windows phone (if that's still around-I don't follow phones at all, I just want mine to work) from all Apple products?

 

heard great things about the galaxy s5. it's waterproof (no more expensive cases), reliable (per my friends who have it), and uses a pretty universal usb type charger.

only downside is my firm doesn't allow non apple/bbry devices because of lack of security. another downside (android guys please correct me if wrong) is that I feel as though the apps available are generally lacking if you don't have an iphone. my last droid was maybe 2 years ago before I switched to apple (first a 4, now 5s).

however, I'm long AAPL so I'd by lying if I said I didn't want you to remain a loyal customer.
