Soft drinks maker Britvic is dumping BlackBerry in favour of Windows Phone devices from Nokia.
The company is currently rolling out Nokia Lumia 720 smartphones to 800 staff as part of the platform shift at the company.

"A key factor in Britvic's switch to Lumia is the Windows Phone 8 platform and its easy synchronisation with the company's existing Microsoft systems, including Microsoft Exchange email and Microsoft SharePoint, as well as enabling them to access and edit Microsoft Office documents even when they are out of the office," said Nokia in a statement.
"We were looking for a business smartphone that could easily integrate with our existing Microsoft infrastructure," said John Armstrong, head of IT shared services at Britvic.
"Nokia Lumia and the Windows Phone fit the bill perfectly, allowing our people to do much more than just check their email and make calls."
Another key factor in the choice was the 6.7 megapixel camera that performs well in low-light conditions, according to Nokia, and which can therefore be used in such environments as warehouses.
