you will interact with will have one and have it with them.

The right phone for mobile ministry Media playback is the main must

have! Look (around) before you leap (purchase) Avoid the wow factor GSM phones (using a SIM card) are more likely to be able to be used in other countries

The right phone for mobile ministry The size of the sound is more important than the size of the screen Removable memory (microSD card) is a big plus If means of charging are scarce, forget the smartphone (unless it has a removable battery and you can get 1-2 spares) Consider whether what you give up worth what you gain with the iPhone?
