A few weeks ago, I told you that Yahoo will buy iPhone terminals for its employees, and here the rumor turns out to be completely true. In an internal memo sent by the purchasing team to the employees, they are confirmed that smartphones will be purchased by the company in curabd. Yahoo offers employees the option to choose between the iPhone 5, Samsung Galaxy S III, HTC One X, another HTC and a Nokia Lumia terminal, but the iPhone will probably be the most desired.
We have a very exciting update to share with you today – we are announcing Yahoo! Smart Phones, Smart Fun! As of today, Yahoo is moving off blackberries as our corporate phones and on to smartphones in 22 countries. A few weeks ago, we said that we would look into smartphone penetration rates globally and take those rates into account when deciding on corporate phones. Ideally, we'd like our employees to have devices similar to our users, so we can think and work as the majority of our users do.Moving forward, we'll offer you a choice of devices as well as provide monthly plans for the data and phone.
The smartphone choices that we are including in the program are:
* Apple iPhone 5
*Android:
– Samsung Galaxy S3
– HTC One X
– HTC EVO 4G LTE
* Windows Phone 8:
–Nokia Lumia 920We're getting started right away and taking orders starting now.
This idea of Yahoo is based on familiarizing its own employees with the most used smartphones in the world, so that they can improve the services offered by the company and customize them for each individual terminal.
